Outer Wilds v1.0.7 Speedrun - Any% (Shipless) in

Sleeping was changed after version 1.0.7 to be unlocked immediately after triggering the Nomai memory statue cutscene. In older versions like this you must die twice to unlock the ability to sleep.
Yeah honestly this run was quite bad after Riebeck but it's the same time as the personal best I got when I forgot to start recording and I'm just happy to get a run finished ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A 10:10 seems reasonable enough, but is a sub 10 minute run possible?

I love how there's this part of every speedrun (as far as I'm aware) where you have to completely stop still as you pass those 3 angler fish by, completely at their mercy. Maybe one day someone will find a skip, but I think it's kind of cool that at this point, no matter how skilled you are, you still can't completely get the upper-hand on this terrifying universe. It's fitting.

[@parchmentengineer8169]

On the other hand, no matter how skillful you are, you also can't skip the animation of the universe forming. I like to think that it's the universe's way of saying "no matter how fast you're going right now, there's always time to roast a marshmallow".

I never would have thought to use the scout launcher as a means of propulsion. I mean it makes sense because of physics, it just didn't occur to me. I remember getting stranded in space without my ship once and I ran out of fuel so I thought I would just sit and watch things take their course. It was actually really peaceful, but if I would have known you could use the scout launcher like that maybe I could have done a bit more exploration during that loop.

I'm a little lost - why did you need to nap twice and die twice at the beginning? I'm entirely uneducated on speedrunning this game

[@CombustibleLemon77]

in older versions of the game, you need to die twice to unlock sleeping for some reason

[@taammu8208]

The solar system changes as the loop progresses. So 14 mins into the loop is when enough sand is drained from the ash twin (The planet they first go to for the warp) to un-sand all the warp towers as at the beginning of the loop the planet is covered in sand and all the warp towers are inaccessible. For the second nap I assume it is to wait for dark bramble (the planet with overgrown plants and funky space) to orbit near the white hole.

[@crtscream]

[@Tirion777]

At the beginning of the video: Oooh, he meant shipless as in from the beginning of the game without lunch codes, okay I got it 4:00 *what the fuck*

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

how was the very first jump a double jump? how does that work?

[@turkwinif]

by inputting another jump 1-2 frames after the first and releasing it about a quarter of a second later. the exact timing is about 15 milliseconds after releasing the 1st jump until starting the 2nd jump, and holding that jump for about 230 milliseconds for maximum height. this can be achieved through practice and very quick reflexes with the spacebar, using a keyboard and controller at the same time to input jump on two different input devices, or we've allowed an external source to bind jump to a second button

[@vinyl5739]

I cannot figure out how they jmped twice in the beginning...

[@morbid1.]

[@Aburner1109]

uses nomai ship at the end, so this actually isn't shipless. Honestly so dissapointed you would lie to me like that.😭 /s

[@CombustibleLemon77]

ah, so then how do you complete the game without ever going in the vessel?

[@NikolajLepka]

why pause the clock during sleep? it's still time spent in the game

[@kalamies.]

The clock moves in a different speed depending on what you play on.

[@CombustibleLemon77]

the way sleeping works is it stops rendering the graphics and renders physics at 12x speed but older devices can't reach this cap so the run would be different based on what device you play on so it doesn't count so that everything is fair and people with good devices don't have advantage

[@lucj1410]

if i could change one thing about the game it would be that after you sneak past the anglers once, you obtain some capability to not have to worry about them anymore. like a cloaking device. the sneaking and the fear factor is fun once or twice but after that it's just slow and boring.

[@laumotan8862]

I somewhat agree, but that would kind of room the point of the game. You never upgrade the equipment, only your knowledge. Learning how to sneak past them in the first place is a main puzzle of the game

[@Spudcosmiccc]

Just be more aggressive in your movements. You can still go decently fast and evade the anglers; it's not necessary take it super slow and cautiously every time. take advantage of the time loop mechanic and take the time to figure out what'll get you killed and what won't.

[@panampace]

If I could change one thing it would be the ability to rewind the clock backwards somehow. The only bad parts in this game are the ones you have to rush to get to before time runs out

[@Spudcosmiccc]

@@panampace You can rewind the clock backwards. Just die and you go back up to 20 minutes earlier

You likely got frustrated that you couldn't figure it out, and did it early. The black hole forge area is really one of the last ones because it requires so much prerequisite knowledge.

Is the ending part with the trees rng/were all those movements intentional to do quantum things, or were you looking for something?

Before the stars die, there’s nothing to do during that part, you have to just wait for the stars to die, so runners just tend to fiddle with the controls. After the glade goes dark, some trees will get the quantum rock texture, and you have to look at three of those in the dark to progress, so at that point spinning around actually does something

It's not the main ending without solanum

[@avrilsegoli]

that's why it's an any% category; getting the best, canonical ending isn't a requirement as long as it's an ending to the game.

@@avrilsegoli then couldn't he have just died at the campfire immediately? it would've been an ending since it would have said YOU DIED if he died before pairing with the ATP, i think it has to be the canon ending (i think there are 2 canon endings since both have almost the same result)

[@ZoeBateman]

never seen a speedrun of this game before, especially not a shipless one, but it just feels wrong to not have solanum at the end

[@CombustibleLemon77]

i agree, that piano is my favorite instrument ngl

[@cammo353]
