What were u doing on 0:54

[@ruben8039]

How did the heart fight go? :)

[@zintrin]

Not so well... ;-) I died on turn 6. Couldn't kill Heart fast enough because of its "Invincible" status.

[@vincentturco1489]

@@zintrin that’s the one problem I have with the game. It feels like it all comes down to getting the luckiest drops for items and cards if you even want to stand a chance in the heart fight.

[@zintrin]

@@vincentturco1489 That's right, you have to plan your heart fight and find win conditions on your way. However, speedruns are kinda different and not really meant to go for a heart kill. Would be interesting tho.

[@ajgraham7085]

I know its unseeded, but how many resets did you do to manage getting the 1 health artifact to affect 2 elites including the shard elite.

[@zintrin]

I can't really remember. Surprisingly, it din't take too long to get this seed at all. Sniping the shard elite is sweet and helps but it's much more difficult to get an overall good seed with WW and lots of the other assets you need. At the time I recorded this video no one ran A20 under 10min before and WW at A20 difficulty wasn't a thing. That's why I was super cautious with my actions but this run could've been much faster. I didn't speedrun StS for some time now but if you want to get a decent run it takes kind of dedication and really a lot of resets. And I mean, a lot! ;-)

1:32 ah, *_pain_*

[@zintrin]

Ouch! :D

[@jonaswagner7302]

But u need this one relic to do this right? Without u cant drop so much cards

[@zintrin]

In general I'd say it makes your run easier, but there are

[@proto-type3201]

This was seeded, right?

[@zintrin]

Nope, unseeded. You can see it right at the start of the video.

[@proto-type3201]

@@zintrin in this case this is really impressive

[@zintrin]

@@proto-type3201 Thank you! Glad you like it.

[@zacharyfischer1834]

I thought This was fake as hell. You close out at the end of act 1 and all of a sudden have 5 cards?

[@zacharyfischer1834]

Unless this is some cool exploit I’ve never heard of

[@zintrin]

It's the Pandora's Box Glitch. It's in the game for years and commonly used in speedruns.

[@zintrin]

Forgotten Arbiter made an informative video about StS speedrun glitches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-lhpirgJugibM

[@zacharyfischer1834]

Zintrin this is cool as hell and wish I knew about it for the last 2 years

[@绅士丶蚂蚱]

It is a very old bug，it is always Ter 0 to choose

[@BioTheHuman]

I don't understand it. From my experience, double attack shouldn't work with hurricane because the second hurricane starts when you have 0 energy so you do 0 dmg 🤔🤔

[@zintrin]

Double Tap just replicates the next attack without charging energy. For example: if you play Double Tap for 1 energy and afterwards Bash for 2 energy, you cast Bash two times by the total cost of 3 energy instead of 4. Now if you cast Double Tap and afterwards Whirlwind for let's say 5 energy you will cast 2x 5-cost Wirlwind at the total cost of 6 energy. I hope you get what I mean, sounds a bit complicated but in fact it isn't.
