Minmax tip: Assasin has the highest STR growth, as wiki states. I've done 1-10 fighter, 11-200 assasin. It was a bit tedious, but I love the game so much, I didn't care.

The time that must've gone into building this character to be so powerful tho ugh I can only imagine. Well done man

[@kathyness1]

periapts also make a big difference

[@SuppositionalBox]

In order to get the highest attack possible, you level Fighter to 10, then swap to Warrior and level that until 200. Then you swap to assassin/strider/ranger(?) etc to get the different perks and skills you want/need. Assassins is the best class to cheese the game with as the Conqueror's Periapt/Blast Arrow combo is overpowered as hell. Having a rangers bow doesn't make that much of a difference. At any rate, do that and then get the Tier 3 Oblivion set with good modifiers and you're basically set. Preferably stamina-on-kill for at least one piece, preferably 2, with the others of your choice. The tier 3 weapons are the easiest to obtain in this case because you don't have to worry about all that. EDIT: Some were saying Assassin was the one to level instead of Warrior. Im fairly certain hybrid classes don't have the highest of any stat per level, however.

nice speed run! Learned how to visit Bitterblack Isle early game to change vocation and advance better. I like magic so may try sorceror even though weaker than other classes. Mage sucks in this game.

This is NOT a new game. Whoever this is, uses a character with a maxed out vocation and skills. So, right from the start there's a level of dishonesty!

This dlc gave me such a hard time but man was it good af. Lots of hours in it i feel i could speedrun it ok if i had time for it 💔 this game and luigis mansion on gamecube are the only 2 games i played enough to dare to speedrun and demon souls as well.

[@weepop8291]

What’s the dash and that charge up with daggers?

[@RJ__927]

Charge ups gives the charecter increase speed, and the dash is a mixed of two abilities one which dashes then slashes at the target in the way, and the other is called instant reset which puts you back in a normal instantly. So he used the charge up to give a speed boost, then he would do the dash and then cancel it before he slashes by using instant reset, so the character will seem like he is constantly dashing.

[@keithtoney1871]

How is he using items without stopping? Is that a setting?

[@156Rafi]

Nope, just quickslot. For steam, keyboard just read the manual and use the num in your inventory; controller you have to use the community layout controller. It should come as standard for the latest console.

@@vshiki4872 Cos, in this 'speedrun', its achieved by using loads of blast arrows ... So in its not really even a run through, using the resources availabel, its just burning though stockpiled resources to unbalance the game .

[@vshiki4872]

@@umwha I mean, it's stated that it's a new game+ run, I thought it was pretty obvious he would've used his past gear, most speedrunners do because you need to have access to some items as quickly as possible, expecially the ones that might not be available naturally on BBI or that might take hours to farm. If you want a speedrun like that then, by all means, do it yourself.

[@umwha]

@@vshiki4872 It makes this game so samey tho. All the speedruns just spam makers finger or blast arrows or sleep, on an archer class... The richness of the game, and variety of possibilites, are all killed by the dominance of these ng+ strats

[@SoftBoiledArt]

The "richness" of the game is killed by its terrible design itself, you can't do a Bitterblack speedrun in any way other than this, or fresh save using throwblast, try it yourself, playing "normally" you'll do literally no damage to bosses. It doesn't help that items are random so you can't even arm yourself in a way that could be effective. In a Souls game (again they have their own multitude of problems) you level just a bit of Str or whatever and equip Gravelord Sword or any of the fixed early weapons through strategy and a proper routing and you're set. You literally CAN'T do that here, the game forces you to take hours until you're strong enough. For the main game yellow vocations manage it with blast arrows and Markers F as you mention, try that with Fighter, people does that because unfortunately the game doesn't give you options, even with Warrior that has probably the only early "OP" (lmao) weapon of the game that's a 100% fixed drop and not random you waste a ton of time to get it (the whole game is designed around not respecting your time) and you deal shit damage, believe me I've tried.
