This game's only been out for a week so this will get beaten soon, but I'm really happy with this time for a Day 3 speedrun and it's a good showcase of what is PROBABLY the final route for this category. (I'll leave this pinned in case I'm proven wrong in like a month lol.) ANIMAL WELL is fantastic both as a speedgame and as a casual experience, please give it a try!
Yeah, but look at the controller input in the bottom right. It said he wasn't doing any inputs for that section, so idk how he did it. I don't think he's cheating or anything, I'm just confused as to what method he used for the cat song.
@@ifeverthelordwashere you have to do the song no matter which way you enter. the developer is awesome for allowing you to enter it manually (for speedrunners)... most people rescue the 5 cats and the big cat sings the song. also the speedrunner is insane for memorizing that long song and playing it so effortlessly!!
@@Tomweldonsays There is an entrance on the right side of the map, where you need the top to dig through that unlocks the lynx/cat area, where you get the new item wheel. More accurately, you find it by going up the mouse controlled elevator in the water/fish part section of the game. When you rescue 5 kittens from their cages with the flute codes, the cage in the cat area opens, you get the wheel and you drop down to the left where he entered with the disk.
probably by just jumping right when the platform was half under water. you can see with the controller at the bottom right he literally just jumped. i meann just test it
Wait... was it a serious shoutout to the 'Roo for showing up at the first possible times? Is the 'Roo appearance randomized amongst the 4 or 5 possible locations?
So here's how the Kangaroo works: * First location is always at the castle * There are four other locations, and Kangaroo won't show up at the same spot twice until he's shown up everywhere once So best Kangaroo RNG is 1/12. I actually got best RNG here but played it safe and did one extra check, which lost about 15 seconds.
I was watching a playthrough and I initially thought the eggs were just easter eggs. I love that they have a use and how many of them there are. I bet behind the scenes in the speedrunning community routing which eggs to get and how to get them is a unique puzzle. VG Dunkey backed the right horse to start his publishing company.
How do you keep warping back to the central area with the flame statues? Is there a hidden song, or is this a minor glitch? I've done everything in the game except speedruns, deathless run, and getting into the left side of the dark jungle room with the Friendship Egg after the fish pipe puzzle. I've never found that warp song, though. Also, I'm curious. Have you found a way to enter that room? The left half is sealed off by a glass wall and on the other side is a sapling and a tiny snail. Every video I've seen has a map with that room not filled in even though they've gotten 100% for the game.
The room is entirely inaccessible without glitches/cheats, I believe. It's just there for the devs to tease players into cheating their way over. In fact, if you're able to go into the room and then somehow noclip into the middle of the island there, you find a completely sealed room with a chest containing the "cheater's ring"... Which grants you noclip.
@@JupiterClimb Out of curiosity, hidden how? Is it accessible in game, or out of game, or datamined/brute forced? The combo appears online in some places now, but no one ever credits their sources nowadays. Great run! I'm amazed at how fast you can get through the game. Funny that you could get the 30min clock tower statue by going the long way round.
@@helleye311 its literally just a small room inside a wall with the code on the wall. like with the dice and the numbers on it you know? i dont remember where exactly though
@@EMLtheViewer It is a good way to not spoil the fun though. Normal play is totally different from this, that the speedrun doesn't really give context to how good is to play this game while chilling.
I love how the speedrun is like "where we are going, we dont need maps" And then also leaving the lynx without her babies but taking the wheel anyways XD
There are two manticores, the first you find naturally by going down to the final area. The second can be hatched when you get the 65th egg after finding the other 64. This allows players to get the true ending after already getting the normal ending
@@Smoth48 manticore. the literal animal chasing you at the end of the game and the manticore protecting the disk. i honestly didnt know it was called that till this comment
@@demidyeah9128 the thing protecting the disc is a dog, the one at the end of the game is a manticore, which is a mythological creature with the body of a lion, the head of a man, and the tail of a scorpion.
the headphones? there's nothing more to the run then just taking a long basic route after you reach the everything bagel? or is there a depper true true ending?
I didn’t find the Lilly pad for the obsidian egg until afterwards. I got it by using a bubble and pressing down on it until I was low enough to throw the disc. That would have been so much easier.
First time seeing this game and I have absolutely no idea what's going on. Is there a lore explanation to the animal ghosts haunting us and what we're doing? At the very least, looks like a neat lil metroidvania tho
For the flute I don’t know but for the pipe you just press X or O on your PS controller (don’t know for the other but that might be similar, jump button should do the trick)
@@dkolonay258 Pretty cool to think about ways of skipping certain fights with enough creativity or skill (creativity for the Ostrich, skill for the Dog)
if you do cranking and have it cranked at the correct amount of seconds, you for some reason do a big jump when jumping from the platform right after touching it, but that's still considered a small one.
Do you need all 64 eggs in this run? Or is there maybe a skip discovered? I ask because there is an "All Eggs" speedrun category and I wonder what's the difference between All Eggs and True Ending.
true ending you only need 32 eggs to get the "Top" item which enables you to get to the final area where you mount the manticore, if Top wasn't locked behind 32 eggs he would only collect 8 to get the flute. 64 eggs has nothing to do with endings it's just a collection run
@@84bombsjetpack23 Ah, let me clarify what happens, so when you go for the "first" ending, you meet the first Manticore (the one in this video) and when you beat it with fireworks, that Manticore disappears. In order to get to the true ending in THAT run, you would need to collect 64 eggs, to get the 65th egg which you would place in an incubator to spawn the 2nd Manticore because the first one disappeared. You can skip this by leading the FIRST Manticore into the incubator room, like the youtuber did in this video instead of beating it with fireworks. Hope this helps

Like a drive-by??! 😂
I tried to do that 16:50 shit for so long on my first playthrough thinking that's how you were meant to get up there
seriously to see it done first try is wild, but also seeing that the developer knew you'd be able to swing it and make you do the song anyway is WILD
@@ifeverthelordwashere you have to do the song no matter which way you enter. the developer is awesome for allowing you to enter it manually (for speedrunners)... most people rescue the 5 cats and the big cat sings the song. also the speedrunner is insane for memorizing that long song and playing it so effortlessly!!
No it’s not
TIL true ending doesnt require all the eggs, it just requires all the items
you only need all the eggs to hatch the second manticore, and idk if thats ever required to beat any of the layers
that kangaroo shoutout was actually so funny
16:50 absolute beast mode, well done
How the hell do you get up there normally?

I remember trying to do this route when I first found the secret but gave up after an hour of trying lol
@@Tomweldonsays in the room at 10:11 you can see the breakable blocks with the top under the statue on the right
Whoa this was fast. The entire run seems so fluid and effortless, congratulations.
the way you traversed the dachshund maze while being chased by the ghost dog is WILDDD i struggled doing it the normal way lol
How tf did he super jump out of the water in the beginning
9 days later, still no answer
probably by just jumping right when the platform was half under water. you can see with the controller at the bottom right he literally just jumped. i meann just test it
@@demidyeah9128 hi lol

What're the rewards in the giant clock below the island for speedrunning the true ending? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere lol
Figurines
monkey figurine if you reach there in under 1 hour, the unicode ot gives is also part of another puzzle
That dang kangaroo 🦘
I didn't know you could reflect the water with his little bean butt...
dude this is amazing. 1 week in and sub 30 for true end? now im imagining how fast it'd be later for final layer%

Insane. Absolutely insane that you’re able to pop around like that. Bravo.
how about all secret bunny ending sperdrun
how did they fall with the flute at 3:48 , and also magically get a double jump to get that egg ? i cant do it and the hummingbird pops my bubbles
he's not using the bubble wand. If you run to a ledge, use the flute for a split-second, you can store a jump
"no major glitches" uh 10:58
Minor glitch
that is considered minor.
Hardest thing about this game is getting the diagonal flute notes with a PS controller.
I just use the d-pad. I pretty much had to when performing the eggs song
@@tetsusiega2 egg song with the switch joystick drove me MAD
Clicked to see how you get to the space clock... they didn't go to the space clock 😒

That was INSANE. And you did this only a week in ?! w t f haha
Kangaroo is the new Nickelback?

That doesn't feel like the true ending to me without getting the headphones.
Time Capsule Ending is the TRUE True Ending. The Truer Ending if you will. Unless something else is discovered, the Truest ending.

... first manticore?

I knew speedruns of this game would be silly after seeing a streamer play it, especially the bubble wand and the cat giving the tune for the wheel.
That is beautiful
I did not know that collecting the P. Flame (8:28) changes the starting area (0:30 vs 13:13).
Lots of minor errors. Couple of missed jumps and random pauses (maybe not random ?) But other than that a great run
Shoutout kangaroo! Loll
insane, well done
how did you input the whole catsong without using controller?
Keyboard presumably?
Numpad is 100% the play for flute songs. I've actually ordered a separate Numpad USB which I'll try to learn for future runs
That insane run + kangaroo shoutout = sub
I absolutely gasped out loud too many times to count. Diabolical work. I love it.
absolutely cracked
This was very very fun to watch. And with a controller? GG.
Does it grant all the rewards at the grandfather clock under the island?
how did that flute jump work at 3:50?
And how did you increase your speed inside the pipe at 8:52?
For the flute I don’t know but for the pipe you just press X or O on your PS controller (don’t know for the other but that might be similar, jump button should do the trick)
for flute, cancel it then jump right after.
for pipe, hold jump.
animal well done

Is this really the true ending? What about the giant rabbit part?
That's a separate category on the leaderboard called BDTP, which I'd like to run in the future
It might not be considered an "ending" if it doesn't roll credits, return to title screen, say "The End" or something similar.
pog
"No major glitches" the fuck d'you call that 0:35
A minor glitch.
It’s not like it’s sequence breaking the whole game or something. It just saves a few seconds of cranking.
if you do cranking and have it cranked at the correct amount of seconds, you for some reason do a big jump when jumping from the platform right after touching it, but that's still considered a small one.
congrats bro
This isn’t human! You’re a beast! (This far exceeds my abilities)
