It's kinda funny hearing you go like "BOOM baby! Get rocked, oh yeah!" while Lady Ethereal is on her hands and knees feeling the full weight of her greatest failures.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates the "dreaded hallway from hell!" lol. I'm especially resistant to gamer rage or feeling that a game is "unfair", but this hallway is definitely objectively unfair. Hiding ui so you don't even know when you can heal and making it an autoscroll just added insult to injury.
What’s your secret for gamer rage resistance. Serious question. I need help. I mean, I don’t break controllers but I say some really mean things to myself. And I yell a lot.
@@theoldone3485 I've just really never cared lol. Like wow, I died 50 times to a boss and still didn't beat it, big deal. Maybe it's because I'm just bad at video games in general so if I raged I would never get anywhere. Instead, I don't rage and get all achievements.
To be honest I don't understand how anyone ever had trouble with that place, I cleared it first try with not much of a hassle - all the enemies are simple to deal with. I had more trouble with Yingzhao than I did with that hallway!
@@danielfarfudinov3193 idk maybe it varies but I hated it because of the screen lock and lack of UI so you can't even see your own hp bar or how many heals are left. On both of the times I did it (each ending), I took at least an hour, probably more. To be fair I took way longer on the real bosses because I'm terrible at videogames but they were *fun*, so I didn't care. This just felt like torture lol.
I did this run back in August (?), and my god, my hate for that damned hallway has never been cleared, genuinely the worst gaming experience I’ve had. Major respect for your accomplishment here!
Great video. The overall quality is insanely good and your commentary was never stale. I think you forgot to mention that Tao fruits give you increased damage (allegedly) and also you don't need to pick up the bow (at least before the point of no return) To my own experience in playing the no upgrades run. Not having the bow wasn't really a problem before the hallway of death. I have yet to fight Eggnog, but the run so far has been really fun, even Kanghui and Fuxi.
Glad you liked it! I didn't pick up any of those Tao fruits so I wouldn't know about that, I only really got the bow for my own sanity tbh (that hallway would've been absolute hell without it)
Did you know theres a video of someone fighting eigong with a modded lvl1 save? This means basically the same as you but without access to airdash and unbounded and on top of that she has her third phase
Chaining air dashes actually goes faster than the sprint if you are good enough at timing them, the first half of the speedrun route is basically just using whatever means necessary to get to the air dash before doing anything else
10:34 "Now this is an actual endurance test. Interested how he'll deal with her" I think and then see how you die in 2 hits, pfffft. Sheesh, that is hell. Also Mom timestamp lmao
Realistically, there’s no difference either way, since normally you’d be stronger after beating Ji but without investing skill points there’s no actual benefit to beating Ji first.
It must be something with the Eigong fight. I played on series x and it crashed on me after I beat the true final boss during the cutscene. Mind you I probably spent 2 hrs fighting for that win. But I just rebooted and got back to it. Probably took me 30mins at that point maybe less
You'd still need to beat at least Ji, Fuji and Eigong. afaik it's impossible to beat the game without beating those three bosses. Source: any% unrestricted speedruns of the game
also omg the game crashes are a true issue, even on the Xbox series s it crashed a surprising amount. luckily my data hasn't gotten erased yet but I've heard horror stories of it..
Wait, ji is a BOY!!?? I just thought they decided to not oversexualize a female character, not that any of the females are sexualized, this game is really good at that. However I still thought he was a girl.

@@Eternal_Reckoning haha, I maxed out my heals and health on the first playthrough so I simply huffed after every two or three hits I took xp
Wow my pronunciation guide soundcloud playlist is actually being used, nice!
I used it too because I was interested in how to pronounce the names correctly! Thank you for making it!
@@dumpsterDeity It's my pleasure!
That hallway harder than eigong
On top of no jades/modification/skills, I notice this also means no Tao fruits for upgrading basic attack strength. Truly difficult.
it's unclear to me whether he absorbs them or not
I did this run back in August (?), and my god, my hate for that damned hallway has never been cleared, genuinely the worst gaming experience I’ve had. Major respect for your accomplishment here!
I did this run without grabbing the bow and the hell hallway at the end took more tries than eigong, fuxi and ji combined
congratulations! this is a really fun video to watch and your edit very smooth. I really enjoy watching this video
I appreciate how you didnt stretch the video out, love ur editing style
man i need this smoking Yi picture😭

GG dude. That hallway is, indeed, hell
Nine sols is just amazing! Game of the year!
Thanks for the idea, I'll do my 0% run next.
Was watching this vid after every boss i killed and its primarily what kept me going, thank you for helping me beat the true ending sir
Did you know theres a video of someone fighting eigong with a modded lvl1 save? This means basically the same as you but without access to airdash and unbounded and on top of that she has her third phase
somehow I got through this whole game without realizing you could use the Qi talismans in midair . . .
wtf

yessss nine sols challenge runs

Фуши как по мне лучший босс. Только на нем я начал люто раздавать, это была моя лучшая битва, я прям земли не касался
Im probably the only person who pretty much never used the bow
24:00 wait he goes to the pavilion if you don't find him in the agricultural zone??
Yeah, when I played initially I didn't have any poisons to give atm so I left him and then he got to the pavilion later
@@EmpinadoMaxbmdggTheSun I didn't have any, so I ran all the way back to Chiyou to buy some and returned to him..
goob vibeo, better than mine :3
In my opinion, u should beat Ji first, and then Fuxi and Nuwa next.
Since Ji is easier to beat.
Realistically, there’s no difference either way, since normally you’d be stronger after beating Ji but without investing skill points there’s no actual benefit to beating Ji first.
i love this
make skurry do this run that would be funny

Dawg the first boss was the fourth hardest
gg!
Beast.
For me the second hardeat boss was Lady E, and not Fuxi. Interesting that you found her less hard than The Fengs
eigong stage 3 when?
Now do low% restricted
Also please use Ucounter more it makes the game 10 times easier
now try a true 0% run: skip everything using glitches, fight no bosses
You'd still need to beat at least Ji, Fuji and Eigong. afaik it's impossible to beat the game without beating those three bosses. Source: any% unrestricted speedruns of the game
@@KitnaMW maybe you can somehow clip into eigong's lab before getting serum? i dunno
also omg the game crashes are a true issue, even on the Xbox series s it crashed a surprising amount. luckily my data hasn't gotten erased yet but I've heard horror stories of it..
Have you considered using the boss rush mod? The mod maker made it so that you can access true eigong with no upgrades.
No skill points?! Wtf 😳
Wait, ji is a BOY!!?? I just thought they decided to not oversexualize a female character, not that any of the females are sexualized, this game is really good at that. However I still thought he was a girl.
I'm pretty sure Ji is referred to as a he throughout the game, even when you first meet him in the bell tower on the lake.
@gearscore349 no yeah, this video confirm it for me, it's just that he sounded like a girl, and when he transforms I just thought he was androgynous.
