Grounded Speedrun in 54 Minutes! (1.2 Any% World Record)

Merry Christmas gamers! Couldn't let @HarryButchers sit at the top for too long now could we.
52:XX is possible so maybe I'll come back for that at some point. I'll take this 54:19 for now though. I'm still on update 1.2 so watch this space for glitched any% with door launches hopefully sooner rather than later!
This run was from a set save but I also ran a fresh save 54:28 which is technically the world record and is up on www.speedrun.com/grounded/run....
100 days in Grounded? I just need one! (for the algo)

Nothing less than absolutely amazing. I was so curious as to how a speedrun would look for this game. Ur gameplay had me truly in awe. It was so clean and amazing it really could be confused for a TAS just because ur that good. I cant say enough of how impressive absolutely everything was. From the parrys to the weapon throwing, all the way down to menu navigation. All of it was immaculate. Great job, all of that practice completely paid off man. Loved every minute of this.

[@HolyCodzta]

Haha jeez, that's quite the compliment! Thanks though, glad you enjoyed. Made a few mistakes that shouldn't have happened like 7:26 at hedge lab and 25:22 jumping up to upper yard, but there's always gonna be imperfections in a run this long. I am still working on a TAS for this actually and I'm trying to make it as insane as possible as a good send-off for the door glitches that got patched, so that should be one of my next videos

[@westt9030]

AWESOME BUT CAN NOT BE REPLICATED

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah I haven't updated to 1.3 so I could still use door glitches on a different run, and after spending so much time locking this route in, some things being changed like the termite axe now requiring 4 feather pieces also made me not wanna update my game yet. If you have the game on Steam then apparently you can go back to previous versions with a bit of effort so the run could be replicated, I've never tried that so not sure if it's actually possible. Glad you liked it though!

[@thefunstartshere6433]

The fact that this is a world record and there was so many jumps/gaps/attacks that weren’t landed first try means there could be an even faster time in the future. Massive props to this run

[@blazednhazed71]

Not exactly, there have been updates and changes to so many things that this can't really be replicated or improved. An entire new route is now needed. Example is termite axe now costing crow feathers and healing items now have a cool down etc..

[@HolyCodzta]

100%! And I could still downpatch my game and come back to this in future if 1.3 really has screwed up the route that much. Still haven't updated to 1.3 but I'll go over the any% route when I do to see everything that's been made better and worse, aside from the obvious termite axe recipe as blazed pointed out

[@dantevalentine7649]

Never imagined this could be speedrun. Having enough trouble playing it normally 😅 even crazier is that I saw spots where time could be improved and knock another minute off. I dont know how you speedrunners do it, but I love to watch it.

[@HolyCodzta]

Glad you liked it! I'd also love to hear how I could've saved another minute!

[@dantevalentine7649]

@HolyCodzta you had 2 or 3 spots where things got in your way or you missed jumps the first time. The seconds add up. Hella impressive either way.

@@dantevalentine7649 Ohh right yeah, was hoping there was a strat or route change I hadn't thought of haha. I also wanted to get a run like that and may go back to it because I think a 52:XX is possible. The second ox trolling me by circling round to the BBQ lid cost me about a minute on its own!

Wow thats insane! Played grounded since the beta and its definitely my favorite game. What do you think about the new update where they added all the other trinkets? Like the dumb new one time uses for the dandelion

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks! Me too, well it's one of my recent favourites for sure. I still haven't played it, I'm staying on 1.2 until I get a glitched any% run done (door glitches patched in 1.3). Playgrounds looks great though and I'm keen to play some good player made maps. Dandelion change has pros and cons for sure, for speedrunning and regular play. At least we're guaranteed some now on a speedrun but it might not drop enough for longer runs so we'll have to optimise dandelion use and make sure not to waste any. I think I'd like the change more for regular play because you can either have a stack of regular ones in your inventory and use another trinket at the same time, or just use the fluffy dandelion for infinite use, so the fluffy got buffed and we have more options with it.

[@slyguyxbl288]

Huge W

[@HolyCodzta]

Astronomical in fact

[@Munchenon]

this run is INSANE! Honestly props for dealing with the RNG this game takes

[@HolyCodzta]

Cheers Munchenon! rng in this game does kinda suck, this run was from a set save though. Basically when starting fresh worlds trying to beat HarryButcher's time I would make a save before I moved at all and if the run had good rng I'd keep the save for later for set save runs. This one had 4 acorns in one spot, the meal in pond lab, 2 gum in black ant lab chest and enough ox parts for hammer from the 2 ox. Just needed an aphid at the start to have 2 meat and one of the termite soldiers to have 2 chompers and it'd be basically perfect!

[@MrMeerYT]

I didn’t realise that the rng is set not just a roll of the dice

[@HolyCodzta]

@@MrMeerYT The rng is only set though because I ran this from a set save, not a fresh save. All chest loot is generated when the world is created and bug loot is determined when a bug spawns, so it'll be different every time you start a fresh world (within reason, there's only so many possible combinations).

[@GameNix]

Beautifully Done, unlike other speedrunners who uses glitches. Literally i watched every second of it, no skip. Thank you, Do you plan to beat this speedrun timing?

[@HolyCodzta]

GameNix... I feel like I remember your name from ages ago. Thanks though! Glad you liked it so much. If no-one else beats it for a long time then I might try and beat it, it will be a lot tougher though because of some changes made in 1.3, specifically the termite axe now needs four feather pieces which adds at least a minute to the run

[@TNTGAMERtheofficial]

This is definitely a speedrun. A great one infact. Do you think you could get this time lower or not?

[@The_Apex_Of_Predators]

52:xx is possible

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks! Could be lower though for sure yeah. The second ox trolled me by circling back towards the bbq lid which cost a lot of time. On this world it seems like none of the termite soldiers have 2 chompers either so always gotta kill 2 of them for the axe. A few mistakes here and there like haze lab fight (shoulda took the time to practice it tbh) and missing the first bomb throw to open black ant lab 19:20. Thought of another little time save as well at 41:39 where I could drop my granolas by the lean-to and then give up and respawn after putting the cocktail ingredients in, would save the few seconds it takes to drop down and run to press the button

[@sixthesailor]

1:07 if you stop to grab the mite anyway, is throwing there faster? (asking for a friend)

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah cause otherwise I'd have to stop for both of them. Better strat is to throw a pebblet at one before you go in the cave so you don't have to stop at all

[@Shauni369]

[@aidenharper7848]

this was actually crazy, I wonder how long it took to train for this

[@HolyCodzta]

@@Little_boi_bomb Well probably not the worst thing losing an adolf account haha. That's cool you found it useful, was actually Zylo who found throwing spiky sprigs though!

[@simpletora7313]

Wonder what the world record is for WOAH mode or when 1.4 comes for NG+ runs

[@HolyCodzta]

For laughs I tried a whoa run with the same route the other day and it falls apart so fast haha. Only EQUIPPED items stay when you die and your gear breaks so fast that I had basically nothing by the time I respawned to do pond lab. The route would need changing so much I have no idea right now would be optimal but think sub hour whoa mode would be almost impossible, NG+ will be very interesting though!

[@zuggo]

Nice job! Is the new update slower than the old one?

[@HolyCodzta]

It's kinda hard to tell without actually just running it but the combat and weapon animation changes sound good like default crit chance and the 100/100/125 combo damage for better dps, and they decreased stagger cooldown on most creatures so some fights will be a little easier which will save a few seconds on a run. Free molar in the hedge for more stamina is always nice. The worst change though might be the termite axe now needing four feather pieces instead of two because only two are guaranteed from the chest in the black ant lab bedroom, so now we'd need to go to one or two of the other chests in that lab for feathers which adds a minute easy

[@HolyCodzta]

Oh and thanks btw!

[@Cooluniquedog]

Dont know if this is known about but i just booted up this game for the first time yesterday and i found a glitch where you can launch yourself super far and fast if you stand on a ledge and drop a grass and then walk off the ledge at the same time it will launch you and the grass far af

[@HolyCodzta]

Very nice, thanks! I've been flicked about by grass/stems when walking over a few of them on the ground, never tried a setup like that though for a proper launch. How far is far af? If you check my Broodmother TAS you can see the door launch (patched in the latest major update) and I used that to send me across the map multiple times

[@G0ldDAce]

how long u work for this? Amazing

[@HolyCodzta]

Thank you! Well this one was from a set save which is so much faster than a fresh save run. The fresh save run I got before this took about 100 hours of actual run time, then because I had the route down from doing that so much it only took me about 5 hours over the next few days to get this run

i dont understand how you beat the assist manager, if someone can explain how you restored that amount of hp

This was done on version 1.2 before they changed the ~1 second consumable cooldown to 4 seconds, and granolas instantly heal 40 hp so you could just spam granolas for rapid heals. I assign them to hotkey 7 and then bind my R key to hotkey 7 so I can use them quickly and don't have to reach

This strategy is basically impossible. There's things that has changed slightly.. the biggest one is the assistant manager fight... there is no chance your going there and doing what you've done now.

[@HolyCodzta]

That's strange because Trizze and Zylo were using this route just today! The only major negative difference to this route in 1.3 is the termite axe now requires 4 feather pieces so you have to go for more chests in the black anthill lab which costs over a minute. Trizze will be streaming attempts again on Friday and you can check out Zylo's 58:44 using this route on 1.3 right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZvWhpptZatrb80

Wasn't fast enough for me so I watched at 2x speed

[@HolyCodzta]

2fast4me, had to watch at 0.25x

[@Lks.C0ntad0r]

Record mundial en tu casa, por que en la mia no...

[@HolyCodzta]

What would make it a world record to you?

[@MrWTFimbaLOL]

ok. Next - the same shit zero death

[@HolyCodzta]

Be my guest!

[@happydevilsyt5937]

Idk man looks like a set seed to me

[@HolyCodzta]

It is! Check description

[@Fardunklet]

Lol took me and friends 4 hours to speedrun

[@HolyCodzta]

Pretty good still! Final defense gets way harder with several people right?

[@Fardunklet]

@@HolyCodzta Yeah just a spiderling is hard to kill with a full team

[@HolyCodzta]

Jeez, and there's more enemies too right? Any tips? Kinda wanna try a co-op run at some point

[@Fardunklet]

@@HolyCodzta My only tip is stay together and always have on the faster revives mutation

[@HolyCodzta]

Ah yeah good shout, haven't used that mutation in years haha

[@lolboy-642]

recovering backpack doesn't sit right with me...

[@HolyCodzta]

Fair enough, it's not exactly the intended way to play. It is a legit game feature though and saves so much time so I'm cool with it. I do wanna do a deathless run at some point so maybe that'd be more your thing?

[@lolboy-642]

@HolyCodzta i just learned about it through your video. if all other records are utilizing this feature then i dont see why not. very impressive stuffs, otherwise

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah pretty much everyone else uses it too, I think Paraly5er was the only one who didn't in his broodmother run. Thanks!

[@Dantes__]

So this is what happens if you get high

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah high on Spider Sliders and Liquid Rage!!! 😎

[@adamrabbani4328]

wait how the fuck u only got B grade? btw u really help me i already 3 * 24 hour play this game :V and not finished yet

[@HolyCodzta]

Seems to be the lowest you can get! I guess cause I actually completed very little of the game. Glad I could help!

[@alankubicki2026]

Good job Btw do anyone would like to play grounded with me?

[@_DiddyDan_]

This thumbnail factually incorrect because during the black ox section it turns night🤓

[@HolyCodzta]

You're right! But for the wrong reason lol. If you look at my saves at the end it actually took me 1 day, 2 hours and 46 mins, but the game rounds it down to 1 day in the report card so I'll take it!

[@_DiddyDan_]

Yeah but that equals day 2 🤓

[@JeremyHobbs]

Why are you constantly jumping? Does it make you run faster or anything?

[@HolyCodzta]

Yeah it's: sprint - jump - stop sprinting - sprint just before hitting the ground - repeat. Basically you keep your momentum when you jump but don't spend stamina while in the air so you get more sprint distance per amount of stamina, so less time walking waiting for stamina to regen = faster

[@JeremyHobbs]

@@HolyCodzta Huh! I did not know that! Thank you for taking the time to explain that :)

[@jjakji2078]

Brother, if you’re watching a high level speedrun the answer to any question you may have in regards to why the runner is doing what they’re doing is because it’s faster.

[@HolyCodzta]

@@jjakji2078 Knowing it's faster and knowing why it's faster aren't the same though ;)

[@TodaysAutoPros]

Hello I’m not that good at grounded I was hoping we could like collab sorta and play together I’m okay at the game just please give me a yes or no

[@HolyCodzta]

No, sorry. Maybe one day I'll play with subscribers but I've already got too much Grounded to play haha

[@bluntlyhonest3157]

It’s a very impressive gameplay, but it’s not a true speed run (or a world record) because I noticed that you kept pausing the actual world record clock. (11:16, 23:48) You can pause the GAME all you like but you can’t pause the timer on the world record time in the bottom right hand corner. Just saying.

[@HolyCodzta]

Did you delete and forget about your other comment where I already explained this to you? Even if you count the time spent paused it's still WR by like 3 minutes

[@bluntlyhonest3157]

@@HolyCodzta there’s nothing to explain. You shouldn’t be pausing the clock in the bottom right hand corner AT ALL Next time you do a speed run just keep that in mind.

[@HolyCodzta]

@@bluntlyhonest3157 Appreciate your input but I think in future if I need to pause I'll still pause anyway. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@miarubyy]

Goddamn let a guy have fun bruh

[@madayalonso5538]

yo ain’t no way lol you paused for like 30 so you still got the wr (at this time anyway lol) you profit like 2 and a half minutes lol

[@MrStoitchkov8]

Yeah but you didn't save Wendell so 🤷🏽

[@HolyCodzta]

Bah he got us into this mess, he can get sort himself out!

[@idk42187]

But your stamina drain is not natural your playing custom

[@HolyCodzta]

What's wrong with my stamina?

[@dima2500]

absolute virgin, every game just has to be sweaty its so sad

[@HolyCodzta]

Fortnite streaming :)

[@FlashyJoer]

This is invalidated - dude kills himself to respawn? Loads a save game? Sure, he knows the map well enough, but its not a contiguous run and thus means nothing in the end. Now, if they were to run it without dying and forcing respawns, without loading save games, that would impress.

[@HolyCodzta]

Go on then

[@zylo4029]

Here’s something you need to know about speedrunning, for most games the runners set the rules. We do this based on what’s fun, what adds depth to the speedrun and what’s fair for all players. Dying and respawning are just part of the game and don’t even need to be discussed, but the Grounded speedrunning community is in agreement that starting the run from a 0d7hr0m save file makes the game more enjoyable to run and is fair to everyone. It’s sort of like running set seed in Minecraft, this game doesn’t have a seed input function so we do this instead to make sure that we get certain things we need from chests (the Spaghetflea at 9:35 for instance) As for 23:35 where he creates a save file and immediately loads it, this is also completely fine as loading a save file that was created during the run is allowed. This is so that people who encounter a game crash or random bug such as a required item falling through the floor can continue their run, albeit at some time loss If you don’t like the rules, that’s ok, but if you want to change them then you might want to start by actually being a part of the thing you want to change

[@dasa6224]

This shouldnt count, any modded game or custom game, or even on the easiest mode shouldnt count. Also watching other speedrun videos then make your own is pathetic.

[@HolyCodzta]

Good troll but I'm gonna respond anyway. This wasn't modded or custom but it was on mild because it's fastest. And your second sentence isn't making sense to me
