Be warned! My voice audio is a little messed up in the first half of part 2! Game audio is fine but my voice is like 2 seconds behind the action and I can't fix it because, once again, I deleted the raw files lol. Whoops! It's not too bad.
Good stuff as usual man. Keep up the good work. It’s crazy how much stuff your making now. Hopefully we can figure out some new strats to get that down.
It’s so cool to see the progression from one run to the next as you post these - really appreciate you sharing all of them. I’m always learning something new from you, even the failed runs (hint!), and it’s such a bonus that you can make me laugh one minute and then I shake my head in awe the next. REALLY GREAT content from a REALLY GREAT creator. 🤩 Your organization was noticeably better this run and if you get some good, consistent RNG throughout, you’re gonna nail a crazy time. Thinking about the time you lost due to the flint, fortresses, Moder and the elusive Queen (to name a few)-if all those things aligned differently, you would have had a much quicker time. When this happened 7:29:15 and I saw your timer, I just couldn’t fathom how you got the time you did. Incredible, quick thinking throughout this whole run, especially at the end, and congrats on the amazing time! Can't wait to see what's up next! 🙂 (edited to remove spoiler)
Thank you so much! Yeah, I was super stoked that this one was something other than an organizational DISASTER at the end, hahaha! I think doind the swamp-meadows consolidation as its own separate action and then looking at any upgrades or whatever is helpful to me mentally, lol. Not trying to remember that I need to bring 4 core wood, 6 finewood, and 5 black marble to the swamp next time I do, etc. etc. I was so sad when that happened, lol! In a test world I made when Ashlands first came out I went to every fortress (20) and averaged like 3.333 fragments or something, so I was like, "sweet! we should usually get it done in 3 fortresses!" but that really hasn't been my experience, womp womp. Maybe I'm just storing up that good rng for the runs when I'm really fast! XD
@@ThreadMenace Yes, I think the consolidation was a great decision. I can see that really alleviating a lot of the need to recall and transport-makes sense that it helps your brain. :) Believing for that amazing, consistent RNG to hit one of these times, and uhh, "...when I'm really fast!" Haha, you're funny. 🔥

11:10 never before seen item in the speedruns. Ok dude you have my attention. 😮😮😮😮😮
I'm liking it more and more! If moder is still alive after I find *the* swamp then I have 8 extra iron out in the world that otherwise goes to waste. It's too perfect to ignore!
Hey, I’m almost 3 hours in so far. Not gonna lie, it’s noticeable in parts, but I wouldn’t categorize it as “drives me nuts” AT ALL. The good WAY outweighs the random moments of “obvious" non-sync’d commentary (during fights and map moments mostly). I’d say just give a disclaimer. If someone is REALLY bothered by it, you can ban them! JK! (they can mute it until hour 4 and miss out on all that great commentary - their loss).
@@claptree3217 is this the one where I said "I... I think I'm falling in love with you..." to a dwarf? If not then there's a dwarf in the next one that kills like a bazillion enemies somehow
Nice job! Wild run from start to finish! Hopefully a little more friendly RNG on the post patch run lol that no flint start and Queen hunt definitely was a tough combo but you clearly made it work! On to sub 15h
That was a sweet run, indeed! Then again, all of your runs are sweet! Also, the thumbnails are peak radness, you’ve outdone yourself 😍 Using the crossbow is a ton of fun! But it should have a melee attack like the Dvergr crossbows. It looks like it could really hurt if you hit something with it! Demolishing your way out of fortresses seems a bit clumsy, especially with having to constantly repair the stairs you're standing on (7:48:00). Why not demolish your way into fortress keeps while you're standing alone on the roof, before you enter? The ballistas and archers don’t seem to be able to shoot you when you’re on the roof, do they? I didn’t see you getting hit at 7:46:10 when you were spending quite some time on the roof. I’m sure I’m missing some reason why you are demolishing your way out rather than in. Zero doors closed run when?!? 3:47:00 Halstein is standing there in all his glorious cuddliness, and you’re just ignoring him! 💔😢 4:47:00 😵💫
Hahaha, thanks! 😍 Omg I so wish crossbow had a melee attack! I think you're right about demolishing *in*, it's just a 'lil scary, haha! I've done a little testing now and I think it does mostly work. Part of why it's scary though is *any* hit taken can do some knockback which in turn could push me into spikes, which then pinballs me around, possibly off the tower. I think I am going to start doing this though. It will also be important to to remove any dudes that are up there, for the same reasons. I think I thought about petting Haldor at 3:46:25 but I felt weird about it because I had lox meat in my inventory and by your timestamp I must've forgotten!
5:35:00 i usually love the homesteading part, but watching this confusion is giving me a slight headache.^^ i only hope the next run will be a little less "experimental" :) get that linnen, thread!
excellent run and clearly you have a lot of room to improve the time still, a lot of running in circles in ashlands in this one you could have avoided by sticking to a method or smt, but what do i know, youre the speedrunner! looking forward to seeing the next one!! keep em coming PS - when next trophy challenge stream
I'm stealing your idea of a temporary forge directly into the swamp! 😁 Even as a builder at core, it's worth it because there's nothing decent to build before the iron age anyway! LOL Who would have thought it would be so secure to have that set up in the open like that? The locals are pretty chill, aboms leave you alone unless provoked and wraiths are like butter when you have fire arrows. What's the worst that could happen, a raid? Greydwarves would die to the leeches before even reaching the forge, and trolls are easily lost among the fallen trees, and even if something destroys your things, it's not as if it was a lot to rebuild... Then, only when I'm fully armed with iron and root, I can easily take what's left on the boat to find me a decent castle to build, as opposed to never having enough when bringing a full karve back to smelt at the starter base! 😆
Congrats 👏 Amazed at how you can calmly run about doing your stuff while a horde of mobs are chasing you... I usually run away screaming 😱 at that point.. or panic and die 😅 Ever though about fixed seed run? Would know where all bosses are and Haldor. Could plan ore sites, crypts etc in detail... Or is that not interesting?
Thanks! I never did set seed mistlands but I might look at ashlands. First I want to get a good sense of what is needed to complete the run, then I can focus on finding a proper seed
at 7:46:06 I was surprised that it could be easier to get timed loot this way. I always use a tunnel under the central tower inside the fort. At a specific angle of any tower, you can make a sufficient undermining so that you can enter/exit while crouching. 7:57:02 - Shortest boss fight))
@@TaycenTimothy with most peoples' thumbnails the radness is subject to interpretation but with this one you can know for sure because it says so right on it
Could you for next run maybe post the seed in the description? Its kind of interesting following you along in a world viewer. I try to catch it whenever you are in the menu or typing printseed but it would help a bunch. Also your own analysis at the end is great!
Amazing walkthrough. Your queen is behaving strangely. In my battles, she never allows herself to be hit in a melee zone, she is not inactive, she always casts something and hits. Always. Now, how war without magic, I am unsuccessfully trying to kill the queen in VERY HARD mode. FROM the Entrance the Queen constantly runs to the top and quickly regenerates. I learned how to use a cooking station to shield myself from mobs and climb them onto the walls and ceiling. From there I shoot at the boss. The queen will either run to the top or CLIMB THE WALL!!!! Any hit from mobs = death. I don’t know how to dodge/roll in time. How to win? Ready for any meanness)
After I hit her a bunch from behind the wall where she can't see me she enters a mode where she tries to run away for about 30 seconds. That is when I melee her. Soon, she snaps out of it and I have to run behind the wall again before she starts attacking.
It doesn't really do *thaaat* much but when you arrive at the base of a mountain and have 12 minutes until you have Eikthyr back it can be big a *biiiiiig* problem.
It's also about this time that you didn't pick up the finewood from a demolished portal which is why you didn't have it when you made it inside. It can be seen on the ground as you run away after picking up the cores and eyes.
Unfortunately not enough ppl speedrun this game for a pretty good reason tbf but if it were popularized I could def see sub 10 hrs even single digit if their were more ppl too optimize and share knowledge
@@merkwey you make several great points here in very few words. I really miss the 3 or 4-way competition that existed when there were only 5 bosses. One thing I want to point out is that between "Valheim" and "Valheim Category Extensions" there are tons of great valheim speedruns besides beating all bosses on a random seed. Only yesterday I became aware of a Finnish dude beating Eik/Elder/Bonemass on a set seed in 38 minutes or something and the run is bonkers www.speedrun.com/valheim/runs/ylxk7x3y Set seed, stacked character, 7 bosses in 39 minutes, dude catapults himself to ashlands www.speedrun.com/valheim/runs/ylx0rgry
@@ThreadMenace yeah I sorta skimmed the back the other day to see what leaderboards looked like, in most it seemed >5 on each page, it seems that if a specific category popped off itd attract more, maybe set seed one you mentioned. Overall less RnG and probably allows optimization on the specific seed. Perhaps a set seed for the whole category could be pretty interesting. If thats something ever on the books for you I'd like to see that in video, since you already get pretty good views for something so niche, might encourage others a go.
