Good session, we had GI techs for the newm on most runs but not always gizonde for the boss. Hit sword/HG helps early on but we mostly were happy to go as long as we had 1x HG any% to FT gilchic lines and such. Was close to sub 25 but no Gizonde this run for the boss & few mistakes. Sub 24 is possible with good RNG and a smooth run I believe. Another thing for us to try is 3x FOney instead of 1x FOnewm to see how that impacts the run; and also 4x FO, how the loss of a few FT/DTs will impact vs an extra FO dmg/fluid loss.

The RNG on this session was pretty bad, Hit MG resets were pretty endless with only a few full runs (never getting a second hit mg/drops desired). But this run was pretty smooth regardless. We are aiming to get sub 32 mins.

I forgot to record this run but I recorded a run that was 12 seconds slower :shrug:

We were aiming for sub 33 this session so that was nice and we had some good runs but we never got the 2x hit saber start we were resettng for (best was hit s+hg) and we never got enough daggers/powers to one side barba. With all things going perfectly; can 31'XX for sure.

This is considered the No. 1 time on any platform!

Congrats guys, that's awesome. Going to watch this now.
That makes all of the 4p E2 times known WR held on Ephinea!
Completely opposite from 4P E1 which is currently 0/9 WR - Hopefully some soon!
2P btw is missing 1c7, 2c4, 2c5 for known WR on Ephinea.

More runs coming so no video yet but this was a good start. Aiming for Sub '17 as a maximum.

Good session today. We had a +17 in this session where we got to 2 rooms before the boss with decent gear around 13'00 - 13'30 but then I dc'd which was sad. Then we found this +21 later and we almost beat the 17'17 KWR with this run, we could have reset some but decided to go for it on our 2nd run. We'll get a better map and reset it properly for a nice time soon!

Gz major improvements very quickly from you guys. Super cool to see OG Cartel members back online!

Keep it up!
 
Been sorting some old pics/videos & found a few runs~

I assume I never uploaded this before as we planned to re-run but never did.

- Video is a bit jumpy
- Had some audio issues so ended up adding random audio library music.

We also hit our goal for the current 1c4 runs:

Had another 2x session with Toujour this time and had a few decent maps with nothing below +20 still. We managed to get a sub '17 time with this +20 map though, which was nice!
- We did this run on the 2nd attempt due to nice drops overall so not everything is perfectly worked out/memorized.
- We would reset after the big boxes if Gizonde or not as this is enough with the FOnewm to one side the boss regardless of what the others fine.
- At the first split Toujour had issues with sharks hitting while trying to rock wiggle early.
- During the first split HW forgot to check where the slime spawn was.
- No early Brands (drop with % vs the clean set)/AGs or Dim.
- Early Gifoie as extra to the Gizonde.
- 65ab Sword dropped.

With fewer spawns (around +15-18 or lower), a little better rng with drops like getting dim, low pan arms and the rock split in area 14 having x1 small wave would make sub '15 I believe is achievable.

Moving on to another stage!

  • Overall we made a bunch of mistakes so could have been a lot smoother
  • Having 0h on the Devil's Railgun made combos/the amount of devils less than optimal.
  • We managed to get close to 16mins a few times in SB with more hit and smoother runs.
  • Below 15'30 is certainly possible with this method, possibly close to 15' or less.
  • Gi Gue room (2nd room) was 25s leaving behind our fastest (bad position for recons & lots of RNG)
  • 4'43: Anne set of fire traps
  • 5'38: 3x Meris were messy due to lack of hit on Devils Railgun
  • 6'43: Didn't turn to gibbles fast enough to stun him
  • 7'49: Didn't lure Ill Gill correctly and got ko
This left us a minute behind overall from our fastest area 28
  • 9'36: 2x Gibbles Anne Lured one to the side too early.
  • 10'19: Some desync at 4x Meris which caused Anne to get confused
  • 11'48: Anne's Barta accidentally early spawned Gi Gue
  • 13'28: Didn't lure the second biter in early enough
  • 15'50: Anne Messed up the Del/Gibbles Barta line and ended up KO

  • HUmar - 14 ATP less than HUcast, but can use both AG/BU.
  • If no good AG would kill more gees in the mountains (about 11-15 gees).
  • We aim to be at the boss with BU at 6 minutes latest.
  • During sandbox tests, we managed to get using a good buster/good autogun 6'30 boss kills (4 cycle runs), but rng dependent obviously.
  • We believe both an early decent BU / high stat AG can get sub '12, close to '11 mins and less than even, rng permitted. Buster on HUcast being the best (obv).
  • We are theorising that 3 cycles may be possible with an epic BU, HUcast, and perfect boss rng, but that would require lightning and possibly a random early on first flyover to get him below 6k HP before the second flight.
  • We also tried double FO for a period as we managed to get the boss run down to below 7 mins (unable to 4 cycle) while getting to the boss around 4'50+. This was way more of a pain to reset in Jungle, though, due to monkey/fireball rng (and would only be around 12' at best).
  • Had misses on the first Merillas on the bridge.
  • Had an early AG (40Ab 35h) before the first fire trap so can shoot + rocks.
  • Anne F. was behind circling the enemies after switch 2.
  • I did an extra attack on the rock at the bottom of the steps.
  • Jungle 1 was 5 seconds slower than our fastest but with minimal losses,
  • Jungle 2 I pressed enter too fast for the warp and shot my weapon.
  • Having an autogun also allows for helping with Gibbles, so only farmed the starter Gee group (in case of BU).
  • Entered boss at 5'01 (our goal with early ag is around 5min)
  • Anne F. missed 2 zalures on flyover (meaning had to go close on landing instead of a few bartas).
  • I forgot to try my luck with the brand on flyovers.
  • Not enough hit to H1 with AG.
  • The boss timing was just below 7'30 when ideally it could be 6+ mins with a better Autogun/Good Buster.
  • Stats of the AG were not ideal, but the boss's RNG was decent overall
1st Landing - Full Flight
Cycle 1 - Shockwave, Run, 7-step Walk, Run, Last Walk to Flight
2nd landing - Random Early
Cycle 2 - Lightning, Shockwave, 7-step Walk, Run, Last Walk into Flight
  • 6000hp Threshold for Early Landings
3rd Landing - Early
Cycle 3 - Lightning, Run, 11-step walk into Flight
4th Landing - Random Full Flight
4th Cycle Shockwave, Run, 6-step Walk, Run, Last Walk into Flight
5th Landing - Early
5th Cycle - Run, Shockwave, 12step Walk into Flight
6th Landing - Early
6th Cycle - Little HP left, so quick kill, and he got off a Shockwave before death
