That Zip bug is hilarious when you think about the physics behind it... in other words how the engine is treating the player... everything goes out the window rofl

He does a good job breaking down how speed running works for normies who dont speed run.


I'd love to see a similar breakdown for how zipping is done. I skipped through and didn't see it in this vid.

That’s pretty cool, seems like it would be pretty trivial to fix the wrong warp issue by just making sure that all default and Grace spawn points are on stable ground.

For zipping, he acknowledges at the end that the speed runners are using it but doesn’t really know how it works atm.

It does. First zone where i said fuck this and just ran by new content. I’m guessing I missed areas as I only have graces on one side of the tree. Got stuck trying to kill a stupid rotting tree spirit last night. The area it’s in the terrain sucks, sometimes the terrain screws him up, sometimes it makes it so my ranged attack just goes over him, sometimes he warps up onto the terrain. Really annoying encounter.

I bee-lined the boss in Haligtree as I couldn't stand the stupid tree part. Didn't even know where the boss was just ran down as fast as I could looking for SOG's.

Don't forget the crystal people bosses now being trash mobs and cutting you to bits on the run, or demihumans flying out of doorways or higher platforms to ambush you!

That area is for the Millicent quest line too, I had to kill that to progress it. Tough encounter.

Malenia - I finally got that hooker killed - in Journey 2.

Got lucky on a couple summons in which they knew what to do. I spammed Flies, another dude was launching blue shit from his ass, and another guy would melee for huge damage when she was getting beating on. Damn near died to the 2nd phase off launch.

I cannot believe how much game there is. I am still always astounded. I just wrapped up all the achievement boss kills and in doing that and following guides (No way I could figure this shit out on my own and whoever did deserves a medal) and each time was a place I never heard of. Armaments achievement is completed along with Ashes. Going to work next on Spells/incantations and also going to finish this one with the Frenzied Flame ending although after the last boss in roots I could also do the fia ending but not doing that. After Frenzied I am going into Journey 3 and mainlining the bosses straight through for the normal elden lord ending.

This will be my first ever Platinum in my life (Rocket league doesn't count) and a souls game no less. After that, Journey 4 and respeccing into a caster or start a new game entirely as a caster.

I am going to be playing this until I die. Souls style in real life.

Wonder how long a wait it'll be for DLC? At the rate I get to play I probably still have another month or so left of my first playthrough, then I'll probably start from scratch again and follow guides for a 2nd playthrough where I try to find everything, so that's another 2-3 months.

Maybe by the time I get bored of this game therell be even more content to explore. I'd have to assume a game like this would have a decent sized chunk of DLC, at least I hope so!

I'm so fucking blown away by how much content there was in the base game, especially after DS3 and Sekiro not really being that old so it's not like they were working on this game for 10 years. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if these crazy Japanese bastards don't already have a 40 hour DLC ready to drop whenever they want.

Just wait if you decide to go after some achievements - I looked up a boss I needed to grab which lead me to an entire area I never even knew existed and after killing that one I looked for the next one and I used a short cut from that area to the new area. This stuff keeps popping up "Whoa what the heck is that" and this after 113 hours played. And the attention to detail in how they did it. Blows my mind in how creative it is.
