This has got to be one of your best videos, thanks for sharing. Love it. I’ve got worse after just making top 100 originally so needed some help on this. I can’t work out if P2 gives you more points, I don’t think so though. I just need to work on route, speed and accuracy then I’ll be perfect 🤣🤣 oh and not getting myself killed too. Easy😅
Thanks dude, most appreciated as always! As for P2 and onwards, more HP so potentially more scoring headshots from single enemies, however, they wont go down as fast. Need to find that balance 😁
I'll have to pay closer attention, I didn't even realize I was going out with holy armour (I have abolished the incubi) 😅 I've only gotten close to death once and that was, ironically, on my highest scoring run. But I have those achievements where you deal out greater damage after being hit, so getting hit might even help in my case.
If you are taking hits then you are playing fast, and that's how it should be! The bonus damage can be a double edged sword, on the one hand it can take out a tough enemy in one hit, but we are then also missing out on multiple headshots on that same enemy. If I have the presence of mind to do so after taking a hit, I put my next arrow into something weak if there is a black knight about 😁
@@silver-tongued_devil Wait, so multiple headshots count, you don't even have to kill the the enemy, just poke them in the head? I thought it was kill to kill.
@@phaenomenal ALL headshots score a marksmanship bonus based on distance + a small amount of gold. A Lethal headshot scores a marksman bonus + a larger amount of gold for the kill + an executioner bonus if they are part of a kill chain. Also don't get any ideas of doing tiny powered headshots up close so you can score loads from a single large health enemy, that was addressed at the end of season 2 😉 They did this by vastly reducing the amount you score from an underpowered headshot. To be safe you want to be drawing to at least 70%+. They addressed the teleport arrow in the same way, to the point where I don't even think it scores anything anymore lol
@@silver-tongued_devil Generally I don't like to get right on top of anything partly because it makes for a hectic and underpowered draw but mostly because I find it too confusing to be that close especially if there are multiple enemies right on top of me (close enough that I move around them with free loco). Given a choice, executioner-style play isn't my cup of tea in the main game but the bonus side effect of the tournament is it has trained me to bang out the trial achievements for all the worlds.
On par with the game for entertainment. Ok not sure if this is a thing but I had to stop during a game, side tap on oculus, at least 10 mins, when I went back, IDU super generous with special arrows and got my highest score……….
Great stuff dude! I'll be eager to see those creative outside the box ideas at the end of the tournament (as per usual). For me, I won't be doing any creating myself, it'll most likely be a 1 attempt (with each weapon) YOLO job sometime before the 16th.
@@silver-tongued_devilThe legend point math is skewed anyway to give strongly diminishing returns past like top 100. At least that's the way it's been. Besides I've gotten into other hobbies outside of IDU (chess being one of them) during my break. I want to wait until my hand is properly back to normal before letting myself get sucked in too much into IDU again or else the problem will likely return.
Love your videos! Keep em coming as we learn so much! Question! Does the Executioner bonus run end if you take a hit or can you take hits and as long as you are killing quickly and adding to the execution seconds? I have done a few runs on the Purg tournament and have gone without taking hits but then I notice my points are lower than I expected. So on other runs, I have taken hits here and there throughout the run while trying to maintain executioner but not sure how this really works. My best run for the tournament so far (125K) was with vanilla arrows and I took hits and my executioner points seemed ok as well but I would love to know the nitty-gritty from you! Thanks! Carol
Thank you very much! Funny, I had the exact same question and from the testing I did while making, you don't break executioner combo for getting hit. You are doing it right if you are taking hits, less caution more speed! Also 125k on the bow vanilla is a fantastic score, well done 😁
@@silver-tongued_devil Alright...that is fantastic and what I was hoping to hear! Then I will continue with the headshot, headshot...take a hit...headshot! 😆Thank you! Super pleased with my 125K/Bow score (was a bit sloppy and need work on my teleporting 😂😂). I was stuck at 100K for a while but when I started taking the hits, I saw a marked improvement in the score so I am glad I can continue to take some hits on the run. Any suggestions on how to acclimate to the logo motion? Do you have a video on this? I love watching you all move forward so smoothly with locomotion but I can't get past the motion sickness. I tried a little at the start of the run but it makes me less effective so I only teleport. Can this also be a cause of fewer points, if not using locomotion? Thank you for your help...I'm looking to earn a PHD in IDU. 🥰
@@carolyeager2941 The way I think I got use to loco in game was actually from other games that have locomotion AND a vignette option (they are like blinkers that close around your vision when you move). Until you fall (fantastic game btw!) has a good one that I slowly lessened and adjusted as I got better and more comfortable. I am campaigning with Superbright to get this option added. Also yes, I do think locomotion is an advantage. Really good for fine adjustments to positioning/aim, and moving while shooting is always going to speed you up a little. I'll get you that PHD, just keep watching 😁
Ok...I will try that! You are the BEST! We are very lucky to have you guiding us! Many thanks to the time and effort you put into your videos! So entertaining while very informative! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No tournament officially starts until Bolo has made his incoherent shout 🤣 How we all getting on with this one, any tips you'd like to share? 😁
Literally the exact video I was hoping to find. Thank you!!
I'm glad you found it! How are you getting on in the tourney?

This was glorious!!!

As always, this is some great content. Love the creepy box. Also, that escalator clip is one of my favorites.
Yeah, the box fit well. Watched the short film involving it today on the tube, fantastically creepy 😁 called 'other side of the box'
the escalator clip is brilliant. Couldnt find a decent quality source, but was too good not to go in!

Its better to be able to step up to that gear of executioner style if needed, than to need it and not be able to 😁

Great stuff, it is most likely coincidence unfortunately. Only true way to get the good stuff on drops is to pray to RNGesus 🤣
