Celeste Strawberry Jam - Shattersong by Hydro and more (Full Clear*)

yeah i'm not doing misery cry about it i can't even do like beginner bounce helper (foreshadowing)
--
This map went through like 5 coders and took over 50 pull requests to reach the final version of the cassette blocks. Desyncs were so common that a meme image was made signifying how many days it had been since the last cassette bug. The map is also the first major deco project I ever took on, and I think it turned out pretty okay. Nobody's going to ever notice the hell I went through for the WARPED berry - look at the tiling in the last third of the room to see some really fun crack decals. Finally, shoutout to Quadratic / Aidan Gold, the composer of the music for this map and the creator of the fastfall berry. Without their incredible score this map wouldn't be nearly as good. Please go check them out, they deserve so much more recognition. I rate the map 10/10, and not only because I worked on it.

this map is hauntingly beautiful and i love it

[@narcozun]

Something that makes me so mad is some of the coolest levels (like this one) are in the hardest capping and i have over 900 hours to go before i can even think of festering this beauty of a level.
It just makes it all the more beautifully impressive, if not terrifying. Having a long way to go to see such amazing levels built by the best for the best not only makes your skill all the more impressive and your completion all the more dazzingly haunting, but your refusal to play "misery" all the more terrifying.
It humbles me, and makes me hope someday to see the beauty of this level on my screen.

[@squibster81]

You definitely don’t need to play for 900 hours to beat this level, you can totally do it. I was able to beat World Abyss with only 600 hours or so in the game, which is only a bit easier than shattersong. I didn’t play shattersong until 700 hours but that’s because I was doing expert lobby and a bunch of expert silvers. Also, I’m behind in terms of progression, most people would’ve been good enough to beat World Abyss in like 400 hours of playing. It sounds like a lot but when you start getting invested to the game it’s really not that bad. I think you should definitely try to progress in the game before you completely give up on being able to play these maps someday. You’ll get there.

what secret room is everyone talking about? there's nothing there, it even said so

[@graveyardwyrm]

the music is so eerie and cool wtf. also is the sheet music parts of the song or does it mean something else?

[@Gamation108]

the sheet music indicates the inputs you need to perform in each room - the top line is jumps and the bottom is dashes

[@auride0]

its a hint for the room, the two lines signify dash and jump inputs. it might be in the song but its hard to tell

[@graveyardwyrm]

@@Gamation108 wait that's so cool! transcribing inputs into rhythms is such an awesome idea. so much work went into every aspect of the map ggs

[@cerulity32k]

[@BoltTheEmolga]

Would you consider ever showing what’s behind Misery, like with invincibility and such? I don’t think there’s any footage of what’s even there

[@OldBeezer]

I went there with invincibility. It’s not even worth showing for how ridiculous the room is

[@BoltTheEmolga]

@@OldBeezerWell some footage is better than no footage

[@totolol9387]

Are the black doors, the "there is nothing here", and the white orchids a reference to omori?

[@Gamation108]

Yep!

[@duothehybrid]

Destroying the cassette is pretty cool. Kinda like the empty space heart

[@calebo.3577]

this map is horrifying
im still only at the Advanced lobby

[@MagicianStevey]

Omg it’s shong

[@Thriyf]

Does anyone know how to get to misery? I got the third berry, beat the map, and backtracked to where it should be but when I got there it was just the normal place. The door still said there is nothing here.

[@Gamation108]

you need to interact with all the sheet music too

[@jeremybrezenoff1280]

Heart beating but epic

[@arbodox]

what is that secret room ._.

[@Gamation108]

it's called "misery" and that's pretty apt

[@Lumel-rw6wh]

Ok but have you found every location in the beginner lobby? Probably the hardest challenge in all of Celeste😩

[@michodali5342]

i dont understand 5.23 part how do you get the stamina for that

[@felixdoe8640]

i could be helpful but instead ill say
cassboosted woost

[@deuceditton2574]

I will be helpful:
It uses a couple instances of “wall boosting” a trick where you climb jump up a wall, then shortly after hold the direction away from the wall. Since Celeste tends to be lenient with timings, the game decides you intended to jump away from the wall and refunds the stamina. This can give you some vertical distance above the wall before you move away.
Also, at the beginning they used a wall boost starting from the ground, also known as an overclock. This tricks the game into refunding the stamina due to the wall boost, but only after the game already refilled your stamina due to being on the ground, resulting in beginning a climb with an extra quarter of normal stamina.
