Hey everyone. Sorry again to have to do this, but I am again receiving a lot of comments on this video saying either that it is fake, or that I am cheating. If you think the video is fake, please see speedrun.com where you can clearly see that the run is verified by a moderator. If you choose not to do this, or if you just want to post a comment anyway saying the run is fake or that I cheated, I will remove the comment immediately. I will not argue with you or let you post multiple comments all over my video (pinging my phone each time) stating your (braindead) opinion that xyz thing should be considered a glitch. Creating multiple accounts to post the same comment will yield the same result. You can cry and complain on your own time, but you will be banned from posting comments here. Literally no one cares about your opinions, or your 5+ comments saying I'm a cheater or insulting the quality of my content. You are a weirdo. You are starving for attention. With that said, thank you to all of the normal people who watch the video and move on with their lives afterward!

[@misha2904]

Just watched your 18 min WR and saw ppl complaining in the comments about glitches, looked up the glitchless WR and you hold that too!!! The haters are SILENT

[@peanutm9346]

People always complain about things

[@Kolanetsi]

Bro woke up and not even half an hour later he had killed the source of the nightmare and woke up in the real world again

[@squiddilla]

Dude. Words can't describe how sick this is. Huge congrats man!

[@peanutm9346]

Your leg and head breaks are spot on accurate, thats some serious practice and skill

[@komred64]

Seriously this is incredible. I like to do speed runs in NG+ to see how fast I can beat the game on my own and this is very helpful. I am amazed how you were able to do it on a new game even.

[@GimmeDopamine]

You are insane! That shadows kill was a thing of beauty.

[@LordGwynofCinder]

Great run! I'm just getting into Blooodborne myself, and even though I'm not doing any crazy speedruns, your videos are super informative in regards to important loot to pick up and how to defeat bosses quickly. Keep it up man!

[@Athelari]

The entire run is incredibly impressive, but I also gotta say that that really brief Micolash dying "A-!" was also hilarious and oddly satisfying. Dude speedran his own screaming like he knew what was going on.

[@lGenso]

All you have to do is press the X button and it skips his dialogue..... that goes for any dialogue in the game. Can't sprint while he's talking so unless skipped, you have to slowly walk around. Which goes without saying is a waste of time.

[@Athelari]

@@lGenso Ah, I see! As it happens, I've never played Bloodborne myself, only watched people play it (not a PS owner), so I was unaware of that. I thought the NPCs would simply keep yelling while you leave them behind, so it was amusing for me to hear Micolash scream so short.

[@dante8297]

you really deserve a lot more recognition, awesome run man!

[@rawrss]

Congrats Genso! 29:24 is such a 'mic drop' of a time. Crazy to think 29:37 was just two weeks ago, and since then you've shaved off 13 secs! Can't wait to see what's next.

[@alibabasfc4108]

Congrats again on this run Genso. Really glad you managed to achieve the 2x dream

[@biggestchungus4203]

Hard work and perseverance prosonified! Good work!!

As promised I am watching this run and sofar, up to Vicar Amelia, this is just mind-blowing! Absolutely insane! 🤯 It deserves way more views for sure!

Wow good stuff

[@arisumego]

nicely done. you think you’ll ever do an all bosses run, glitchless and/or not?

[@lGenso]

I've done many all bosses runs. They're all on my channel.......

[@arisumego]

@@lGenso sorry I'm on mobile I should've scrolled down more😂

[@joesshows6793]

You are a machine

[@daigosz]

congrats for the run. why the cleric beast kill tho? isn't it an optional boss? (i'm playing the game for the 1st time)

[@lGenso]

You either need to kill cleric beast to buy the key to open cathedral ward and progress the game, or kill Blood Starved Beast by running all the way to the bottom of Old Yharnam, which opens the door to upper cathedral ward. Running to BSB takes over a minute longer than killing Cleric Beast and skipping that entire area.

[@daigosz]

@@lGenso oohh ty for the answer!

[@Oblivion420]

At the beginning when you were running past the wolf, were you taking the hood on and off for a reason or just because? lol I'm just trying to learn

[@lGenso]

It sometimes causes the wolf not to follow your character anytime you change a piece of armor or weapon. Same as other Souls games.

[@abreu7756]

goated!

[@marcodario9237]

Let's goooo

[@NicolAlchimiste]

GG 👍

[@nimbus3218]

TIL old yharnam and the BSB (the bane of my existence) are completely optional.

[@lGenso]

Yes! You either need to kill BSB, or you can buy the key that opens the gate to Cathedral Ward that way. It costs 10k echoes, which is why we need the ones from Cleric Beast.

[@aminelyaddasse7693]

What's the purpose of rapidly equipping your headpiece at any point of the run? Fat W for the run btw.

[@lGenso]

It confuses enemy AI.

[@RoyBrown777]

So a glitch that stops the fireball from rolling which would slow down your speed run... @@lGenso

[@lGenso]

I've already answered this question for you. You're apparently hell bent on some pathetic attempt to undermine me, someone you don't know at all on the internet lol. Any time you change a piece of armor or weapon in this game, it has an opportunity to reset the enemy's priority for attacking. This can happen very early, which it often does, resulting in the enemy doing an attack earlier that usual, which results in them killing you while your menu is pulled up and you're changing equipment. Every once in a while, it causes the attack they input into the queue to be replaced, since your character's model data has changed. It is not consistent tech that can be considered a glitch because of how often you die changing equipment. And the SRC team cannot disqualify runners just because they change their equipment while there is an enemy around. It's just the way this game works. You will see plenty of much more blatant exploits allowed in games that are still considered glitchless by ruleset. Commenting repeatedly on my videos and calling them fake even after I've explained the tech and why it's allowed in runs is embarrassing. Read the rules on speedrun.com and you will see that this tech isn't banned. If you do that and still can't accept it, find somewhere else to cry about it. Also the fireball rolling that you're talking about, you can literally run past that on the left side just like I'm doing without opening the menu or spamming the toggle and you will never be hit. You don't even have to be good at the game. Just hold up and sprint and it doesn't touch you as long as you're on the left side of the bridge. They don't even roll the fireball until you get to the end of the bridge if you're on the left side. A 5 year old can do it. If you need verification, pull up any other run on the leaderboard on speedrun.com and you will pretty easily see exactly what I am describing. The only reason I'm toggling here is to try to keep the enemies on a straight line, has absolutely nothing to do with the fireball LMAO.

[@bealol6800]

out of curiosity, why do you take off all the clothes at certain points? i know the reason for the hat equip/unequip but there's no weight system like there is in the dark souls games in bb. great run btw, seeing you take out shadows like that was crazy

[@lGenso]

Taking off your armor and weapons in any Souls game decreases fall damage received.

[@vVincent.]

​@lGenso wow no way this run taught me a lot about BB

[@Tessegg]

Hey im wondering whats the reason for the hat equip/unequip spam?

[@Tessegg]

Nvm just found the answer on another comment

[@lGenso]

@Tessegg sometimes it confuses AI

[@iSleepyyGamerr]

Me taking over a hr on 1 boss him beats the game in 30 min lol GG’s bro

[@peanutm9346]

It's amazing what practice does, you should try it some time

[@chanche5251]

what do you do to cancel the landing animation? great speedrun btw

[@lGenso]

Press circle and your character will roll.......

[@TheY2k6]

О бля, а мы и не думали

[@Godzilla545]

Is there a reason to switch the stance of your weapon than adding fire paper? Like for amelia you did it right before the boss but you switched right back to the normal stance. Is it some attack boost thing?

[@lGenso]

When you run through a cutscene trigger, if you do not trick your weapon, your character will stop sprinting completely and have to start again from walking. If you try to do the Amelia strat like this, you will be too slow to reach her, and she will punch you in the face at the start of the fight every time. Tricking the weapon allows you to carry the sprint through the cutscene trigger and reach her quickly enough to execute the opening combo.

[@Godzilla545]

​@lGenso oh gotcha thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to speedrun the game rn, and your video is really helping me rn so thx a lot 😅

[@lGenso]

@@Godzilla545 This is really not a route for beginners to be doing.

[@Godzilla545]

​@lGenso, I'm not going for anything crazy like 30 mins. Just 2 hours would be fine with me lol. I just needed to find what the right pathing and items you need. Of course there are high tech strats and if they're to hard, I'll just do it my way. But yeah, this might be a bit of stretch from starting off with speedrunning. But if you have any recommendations to start speedrunning, it'd be appreciated.

[@lGenso]

@Godzilla545 There are only 5 runners who have completed runs on this route, and of the 5 who have, I took it a step further by skipping extra healing items. I completed this run using only a total of 10 blood vials throughout the run, which is suicidal given it only saved 1-2 seconds for each of the pickups I ignored. Each of the runners who completed early cleric route are elite, with several years of dedicated experience to the game to reach a level of proficiency to complete a run like this. It is not in any way even remotely good as a resource for new runners. You are much better off scrolling the leaderboard and finding a run that matches your skill level better than jumping into a run that involves suicide strats and feeling overwhelmed. There's no reason to be attempting early cleric or pelletless Amelia when there are safe scripted strats for bsb and Amelia with a beast blood pellet... With that said, this is only my opinion. If you still want to attempt a run using this routing, it is certainly your prerogative to do so. Best of luck to you.

[@rex5599]

Nice

[@lNeVaR]

Wow 🎉

[@lGenso]

[@NathanSavageDamage]

Niiice

[@CabraL1903]

honest question... why does he kill the clerical? isn't it a optional boss?

[@lGenso]

You can't open the door to Cathedral Ward without either buying the key which costs 10k or killing Blood Starved Beast and opening the door to Upper Cathedral Ward and progressing to Amelia that way..... This is just normal game progression.

[@user-nw7gc7mo5g]

👑👑👑👑👑

[@yassinmaged3939]

Can someone explain to me why he keeps taking off his clothes? I don't think there is weight that slows people down in this game

[@lGenso]

As I keep explaining, in every Souls game, every piece of armor and weapon equipped causes your character to take increased fall damage. I am taking the armor pieces off to decrease the fall damage.

[@yassinmaged3939]

@@lGenso I'm talking about while you're running, you keep swapping your cleaver and clothes, why is that? (not talking about the fall damage part)

[@lGenso]

@yassinmaged3939 I've explained this several times as well. When removing or adding a piece of equipment, your in-game character model is updated by the game. When the character model is updated, the timing of the queue system for the enemies attacks can be affected. This can have various wild results, ranging from the enemies instantly turning to attack you, to totally ignoring your character. Most of the time it is the former. Occasionally, enemies will ignore your character completely. Usually performing this tech will get you killed. The reason that this isn't considered a glitch is because this can happen any time you alter your character's weapons or armor. With that in mind, it's impossible to disqualify runs for changing equipment and armor during the speedrun because it makes no sense to do that. By that logic every run on the leaderboard would be instantly disqualified. And we can't write a rule that says something like, "it's ok to change your equipment, but only sometimes," or "you can't consistently toggle the equipment on and off" because words like "sometimes" and "consistently" aren't tangible numerical factors and can thus vary in interpretation based on the person reading it. To avoid the inevitable arguments, the speedrun.com moderators don't impose stupid rules like this. Despite my explanations of why this is the way it is and me taking out several minutes of my life to explain this to people, however, morons will still debate me here and tell me my run is invalid when you can clearly go to speedrun.com and see that the run is verified by a moderator.

[@yassinmaged3939]

@@lGenso bro regardless, you're a fucking god, thanks for the explanation ❤️

[@disturbedrebirth]

Is the Cleric Beast optional?

[@lGenso]

No....... You either must kill the Cleric Beast to buy the key for 10000 blood echoes or run all the way to the bottom of Old Yharnam and defeat BSB to open the gate that allows you to progress into the part of Cathedral Ward where Amelia is. This is just basic and standard game progression. It's shocking to me how many people don't know this with the frequency of this question.

[@Brewed.tea.]

Why go for cleric beast?

[@lGenso]

You can't buy the key to get into cathedral ward without 10k blood echoes. The other options are farming normal enemies at 50-200 echoes a pop or running all the way down to the bottom of Old Yharnam and killing Blood-Starved Beast to open the gate to Upper Cathedral that way. If I don't kill Cleric Beast for the echoes, which took like 40 seconds and already on my way to Gascoigne anyway, I'm losing minutes of time running down to fight BSB. TL;DR This is just basic game progression.

[@Brewed.tea.]

@@lGenso I see. Thank you for explaining, Gg on the run btw!

[@Dies_Irae98]

I need overly hyped commentary and flashing colours to keep my attention, this video lacks these therefore I didn't like it. Also it took you 25 full seconds to kill shadows, my attention flew between three tabs in that time. Anyone that can't kill shadows in 5 seconds is clearly bad at the game. What a nerd.

[@lGenso]

Damn. I got owned.

[@rex5599]

Someone has a better record than you but with glitches

[@owen-id3og]

who?

[@lGenso]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XVpo1-jaZno7cfeature=shared lol

[@RoyBrown777]

When you spam your hat equip unequip at 5:15 to delay the ball from rolling. That's a glitch, which invalidates this run. It's not a world record aye?

[@lGenso]

This is now the 3rd time in a day you've commented on the video calling it fake and saying I'm doing something to delay the fireball, which isn't true as I explained in your other comments attempting to debunk the video. The run is verified by the moderation team on speedrun.com. You can look it up and see that it was verified on speedrun.com. I already explained that the fireball is not being delayed. If you run down the left side of the bridge, the fireball doesn't hit you. Ever. Spamming comments on my videos, especially comments spreading lies is a good way for me to take your comments down and ban your ability to post further. I'm tired of answering the same question for you as I've now done it three times. If you post again calling my videos fake, and you haven't watched another speedrunner do literally the same thing I'm doing here, or even bothered to READ the ruleset on speedrun.com and see that I did not break any of the rules, and that the run was verified by a moderator, then I have to conclude that you might actually have brain damage and aren't even reading my replies at all. In which case I will have to restrict your ability to post more comments.

[@JGcd001]

Yeah, this guy just a hater. Anyone who even remotely follows speed running know AI manipulation is NOT glitching. Besides, if he even played, he'd know the boulder isn't delayed. That sucker takes forever to get lit and pushed, you can easily run past it like you did, it's the mob in front of it that's annoying. Good job on the run dude, always entertaining 💪
