[@element9828]

Very nice run, i cant believe that sub 4:30 could be possible. The routing here was very unique, making sure you get every possible pickup for the spears on the way there was very smart. I have been avoiding running grounded bc i knew there was no chance i could make a better strat than you, ima aim for sub 5:30 later. The fight was also very clean, cant believe you were able to get its AI to not shit itself AND not choke at the same time well done. A lot of that parkour hurt my brain, it seems so perfect I wouldn't believe if someone told me you were a pixel off TAS level positioning. GGS

[@HolyCodzta]

I wouldn't have either when I posted my 10+ min run! Hey the more the merrier, and if you can beat 5:28 you'll have a crispy second place! ;) Yeah I was pretty happy with that, only missed two spears which were quite costly at a ~6 second time loss, but not bad still. Haha I really like that new route up the hedge wall that Soemz found, much quicker, cleaner and more fun. Thanks Element! Good to see you around still :)

[@seethrewgaming]

bro! very impressive, you made it up the rock jump at like 2:05 i don't think i made it until 2:40 or so. Very impressive! I was questioning the different start but it turned out great! also like the path you took in the water, seems a lot more efficient with less stuff in the way! big grats! love that i reignited this idea! lets keep it going, and lets invent some interesting runs, maybe even a antlion or something lol who knows

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks bro! I was thinking that the route there should be the most direct and just focus on grabbing what materials I can on the way for just over 10 spears so I can have two volleys and some leftover in case they fly off randomly. Running faster than swimming too so wanted minimal time in the water and I probably did about 15-20 runs so was able to learn the swimming route pretty good, maxing swimming speed over distance with the jumping isn't something I've really done before. This can be faster so I'm keen to see someone beat this so I have to run it again! Tried thistles and spears were better but here's some of the routes I plotted beforehand imgur.com/a/H99UDxk

[@houstonSolo]

I was thinking no way he beat seethrew but that was about as good as it gets, idk if you can get any faster than that!

What a crazy run. I had a feeling sub 5:00 was possible and you crushed it. Ive been ill lately so just now seeing your post. This run is borderline perfect with a few exceptions. Great job!

[@HolyCodzta]

Thanks! Was pretty happy with this run despite the spider standing still and missing the last spear. Did a few woah runs earlier and my best time landing on the top rock of the first parkour up the hedge lab wall was 2:01 so 5 seconds faster there (and I think it can still be faster); lost 8-9 seconds to the spider standing still for literally no reason after aggoring it; I think it's unnecessary making it jump to the smaller rock first so that could save another ~5 seconds; could start attacking it sooner saving another 5+ and I missed two spears costing yet another 5 seconds. So that means sub 4:10 is possible but screw going for that until someone beats this!

I am am xbox speedrunner, my pb for black widow is 5:47, pc does not necessarily have an advantage for this category.

I was thinking of trying some controller runs at some point cause I haven't played on Xbox in over a year now. Could get a game pass deal and actually try it on Xbox too though. I much prefer mkb yeah and easier hotkeys is one of the reasons. I'm assuming Grounded is 60fps on Series X so I'd only have an advantage over the Xbone, the load times are just quality of life. External SSD on Xbone might not be too bad on that front though. Thanks for the comment!

[@tonybeop]

I was like how but I see now the widow used to have the wolf spiders attack patterns. There is no way this could be done with the new widow.

[@HolyCodzta]

They didn't change or remove any of the widow's attacks, they just gave it one extra ability to spawn and eat a widowling which gives them health regen and increased attack speed. Definitely way harder now but should actually be doable with a cheeky strat, just gotta make it spit the widowlings off the rock so it can't eat them to get the buffs!

[@tomantar8810]

The craziest speed run ive seen knowing it took me 126 days to kill one widow, how did you learn to parry so well?

[@HolyCodzta]

I practiced against a wolf during early access first, just set my spawn nearby, aggroed a wolf then just tried to parry until I died. Rinse and repeat until I could parry like 75%. That improved over time to 99%+ and because the widow is just a sped up wolf it was an easy transition. The practice strat nowadays is to save your game, make it a custom game and turn player damage off as they changed it so you can now parry even when player damage is turned off. Practice for as long as you want then just load the save you made which will reenable achievements.

[@tomantar8810]

@@HolyCodztaThanks!

[@benberckelman1672]

Are it's attack patterns the same as a wolf spider?

[@HolyCodzta]

Very close yeah! Its moveset is like an orb and a wolf combined and sped up, minus the wolf's jump attack. In 1.3 or 1.4 they then gave it a new ability to spawn a widowling which it will try to eat for health regen and an attack speed buff

That sucks! You checked in the settings for motion blur, depth of field etc and turned all that off/down? Can also play in third person if you don't mind that and there's a key to switch between first and third while playing so if it's just combat that messes with you for example you can quickly switch if a spider runs up on you or whatever.

When you don't have to focus on which direction you're heading it makes it a lot easier to figure out and remember the finer details like which grass gaps you can't fit through and which rocks you can't jump up etc. So if you're following my route just put one at the field station and one at the start of the hedge wall jump up.

This was before Black Widow got buffed. With enough time you will learn how to parry. Shields are really good because you dont need to perfect parry to block.

[@HolyCodzta]

Originally I set up a lean-to by a sleeping wolf and practiced parrying, dying over and over until I got it somewhat down. Then they changed the player damage custom setting to allow you to parry so just save game, convert to custom, disable player damage, practice, reload save to reenable achievements. These days there's probably a good playgrounds mode out there for spawning and despawning each specific creature with just a button so you can quickly practice against whatever you want
