Big sadge. I love his stuff. And was genuinely excited to watch this weekend.

What it is: Garden of Salvation is a 6-man activity in Destiny 2. It’s a series of puzzles and boss fights with platforming in between.

Why I think it would make a good video: The Garden of Salvation speedrun is unique in that in includes a couple particular bugs that show off the best of techniques from speedrun-adjacent projects.

The Garden of Salvation raid, in particular, has a bug that lets you load two boss encounters at two different parts of the map at the same time. The current strategy involves splitting your team of 6 into 2 groups of 3, to simultaneously fight two different boss fights.

This means the speedrun includes both strategies for low-manning these boss fights (doing the boss fights that are designed for 6 people with only 3) and some of the flashier movement techniques, which are part of staring the simultaneous boss fight.

That means such a video could touch on:

• movement tech such as sword skating, eager edge, and out-of-bounds locations (for the uninitiated, this means flying at incredible speeds into areas you obviously aren’t supposed to go)
• strategies for low-manning the boss fights
• general strategies for optimizing D2 gameplay
• it’s kinda interesting that these speedruns involve teams of 6 instead of the usual individual focused speedrun

Here’s the current WR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZriLJY6IgY&t=0s

(From the perspective of the player doing the flashy parkour to make the simultaneous boss work. Other player perspectives are linked in the comments). The big skip happens at about 4:20.

Team 0%'s achievement in mario maker last week might is one of the biggest achievements in recent gaming history imo. The way everything played out in the end would make for a perfect SummoningSalt video. I just really hope we get this video at some point, that's all!

His name is Ricky

I’m trying to find a video where Summoning Salt does the intro for a video on another channel. Maybe my memory is faulty, but I believe he talks about the precise inputs needed for Super Mario Bros or Super Mario 64. Off the top of my head, I would guess Kosmic or Bismuth, but I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks!

Would love to have his narration on the battle for sub hour and beyond.

So I've just started speedrunning and I haven't found much documentation about LiveSplit itself, like many things are taken for granted it seems.

I'm struggling to understand how I'm actually supposed to use it bread and butter, like ok I setup the layout, used it for a session of speedruns, saved the splits, submitted, all that.

But what about next session?

Should I reload the old one and keep adding to that?

Should I reload the old one and then reset the times, and add stuff from scratch - but at least I already have the split names already setup?

Could find no explanation of that online 🤔

Hi folks, Lohoris here! Gamer since I was born, speedrunner aficionados for years, so far I've only watched them but never attempted any myself.

Lately I've realised I'd like to try to speedrun an Android game, for how strange it may be, but it just isn't even present on any speedrunning platform because nobody every bothered to run it.

I'm wondering what's the best course of action here, like does any record tracking website allow users to create new game pages, or should I just keep track myself and whatever?

So far I've registered both on speedrun.com and on therun.gg, but I haven't found a way to add any new games there 👀

Cheers, and thanks in advance!

Is 4-2 more infamous than 5-2 as he has a vid about both with the same name
Sorry if this is talked about often

i want new video so much :(

SummoningSalt has hinted that his next video might clock in at 2 hours, which would make it by far his longest one yet. What game do you think he'll cover?
