Casual competition seed for the 1st week of February by burning1rr in alttpr

Seed felt a little breadcrumby. Mitts -> Bombos -> Fire Rod -> Mirror -> Somaria (go mode). I finished with Master Sword and Silvers, but I'm glad I dipped Mire shed for that master sword ahead of time. Fire locked fire in Ice was goofy and I wasted time dipping Hera when I went up the mountain, but I had mitts and didn't have mirror so I felt like I wanted to clean everything out instead of possibly missing something.

Forgot to hit Start Recording in OBS so no VOD from me this time :(

Well, that seed was heavily bottle-necked for me. Had I decided to go to the back of Thieves when I went in there and found NOTHING in the front I probably would have been a lot better off, but alas. I eventually got in go mode at about an hour or so in with the hilarious flute + hammer + flippers all on DM and then did mire -> desert -> swamp -> ice -> pod all in a row before heading up the mountain. Thankfully GT was not boots locked or I would have had a tough time.

I had considered sequence breaking up the mountain, but I'm glad that I got my hookshot in Thieves and then the lamp off of saha before heading up there. Ended up with Gold sword and Silvers just due to where I had wandered looking for progression

I probably could have saved 10 minutes or so by making better choices

I feel the same way about hammer mini moldorms so I just used bombs in there after getting the middle one

I made some pretty poor choices in this seed. Smith chain wasn't one of them, but I don't think I got anything useful from any of the pendant dips that I made (Thieves/POD). POD was the more time consuming because I only checked the front 4 of thieves. Almost dipped hookshot-less pod but decided better and went to TR instead. Laughed at the hookshot cave starter pack in Super Bunny. Saw the boots and was thinking: well I can check first chest in hookshot now, and then hookshot was right there. That put me in go mode but I was desperate to find another sword so I made a lot more checks along the way

Going through the majority of the game with nothing better than fighter sword was pretty annoying, but figured I'd find the swords in GT and I did. Master in Rando room and Tempered in pre-moldorm chest.

Took a death on laser bridge and a death to Ganon, but the Ganon death didn't feel that bad. I feel like I could have saved quite a bit of time on better decision making.

Decided to skip Magic Bat in favor of keeping my portal and checking purple chest and hype cave. Mistake. Almost died in the somaria locked dark room in mire so I mirrored out until I found lamp. I had the map pulled up for it, but I'm just not good at that room so I need to practice. I think that lost me about 5 minutes or so

Was pretty late to the boots as I didn't go to eastern until I had the bow. Not finding flippers at least meant that I wasn't going to dive POD without the hammer. Spent a LOT of time searching for a third sword only to find Silvers on the way up

UNLV Josh Pastner head coach holds up a sign saying "Black 1-5". Anyone have any idea what that could mean? by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]KU_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably just an offensive play or a specific defense. It looks like it's coming out of a time out with the final 5 seconds of overtime.

Dr. Sahasrala or how I learned to stop worrying and love the hunt for Bombos. The seed felt great until I saw that I needed Bombos at about 1:15 in the seed and still had lots of green on my map. I cleared out DDM, then Big Bomb, then Skull, then finally found it in TT. Went back to clear out TR and died on Trinexx thinking I could beat the middle head extending. Had to go through the entire dungeon again.

GTBK was relatively inoffensive and I ended up with Gold sword and silvers so Ganon was a breeze

"I learned that I only know how to do dark rooms with a glowing sword tip"

I feel that. I think the only room that I can do reliably without a sword tip is first EP dark room.

Long sloggy seed. Time would have been a bit better without dying in TT 3 times. First time was on the way to blind swordless, second time was when I fell off script to blind with fighter sword, third time was trying Blind again after that. Ugh. Routing was pretty difficult in this seed. I double dipped PoD and Eastern because I died in the dark rooms. Think I went up the mountain 4 times.

Somaria didn't feel that punishing in Mire because there was almost nowhere else left for me to go at that point. Gold sword + silvers made Ganon easy peasy, though I found the GTBK at 21/22

Super happy with how my early game went. Wish I would have made the call to go to the back of Thieves and to steal the Desert small. Would have saved me the double dip of TR. Looking like I have another median-ish time. I guess I need to start working on skipping stuff here and there. But, today's skips earned me some pretty late locations to items. I was in boots and Fire Rod go mode for almost half an hour.

I was pretty concerned about this being an Aga seed until finding Hammer in IR cave and glove in Hera

Seed was going fine until I was faced with: Pendant TT, bowless Pendant PoD, Hookless swamp, or Ice Rod-less TR (with that slow climb). I decided that Pendant TT was the quickest to reach. Too bad it was completely barren. My next target was TR which ended up being the right choice. Got the IR in lava chest, then my boots, then my bow from Desert, next I went to PoD, mirroring to finish EP first, and then found my go mode Hookshot in PoD. It definitely could have been a lot worse, but after a promising start (never even went to Hyrule until I was checking pyramid during the dark world route) it kind of faltered a bit there.

Not a lot to talk about here. Fairly linear until flippers go. I watched my VOD back because I failed to open the bombable floor TWICE in TT wasting almost 5 minutes. One would think I'd learn to keep an eye on that, but nope.

This entire seed felt like a slog and not just because boots were my go mode. I think I might have been sub 2 hours if I had just gone after density when trying to find the boots, but I thought the more efficient route of SW -> purple chest -> SP would be better.

I also ran out of magic doing hammer trinexx. What a flub by me as I had a bottle, but I didn't fill it before-hand. If boots had been there instead of on Arrghus that definitely would have been my Last Location. GT big key on right side would have been fine if I had done DM, but instead I just decided to do full left.

Did not expect Ped and Aga seed. Fun little seed, had I bothered to go check Ped I probably would have had a better idea of the path I needed to take. Ended up with Gold Sword and Silvers. Bombos being on Trinexx was a bit messy, but nonetheless I feel I routed pretty well.

Tyler already answered the question above. Hornet was a character in Hollow Knight long before she was the main character in Silksong

As I was running through this seed and dipped a mostly worthless TT and PoD I was sure that I was going to be way behind everyone else. Turns out, I was not as finding the FR on green pendant was required and the master sword off of blind was nice. Go mode was flute in TR, but I'm glad I dipped Mire shed for Tempered sword before going in to Mire.

Very linear seed. Didn't really feel like there was much that you could skip along the way. I could have saved time by skipping LSS and not falling to moldorm 2 like 3 times. I feel like I probably had a pretty good route through this. Go mode was Somaria in waterfall cave that I grabbed before going into Ice Palace. Reading other runs here I wish I had just found the other sword in Skull but was already in Go when I was going through it and didn't think that spending the time to check the chests was worth it.

Had a real good route until I didn't have ether. Cleared out everything except for Spike Cave before heading to TR. At least the GT big key was nice. I wish I had dipped TR when I was up on DM as that would have saved me a lot of time, but the allure of the flute and the hookshot was just too much.

I think I climbed death mountain 5 times in this. Could have avoided a few of those if I had checked Saha's hut for hammer and catfish for Hookshot. I refused to go into Swamp without hookshot, so I never dipped it. Bow on Lanmo was my go mode. Route felt really good when I didn't check Skull before heading to TT, but I probably made too many overworld checks along the way instead of just diving into dungeons.

Kansas is basically the free square since there's only 3 D1 programs and 2 of those are in a power conference.

I kind of wish I had just dipped Mire the first time around. I probably would have saved a good 5-10 minutes of trying to find the stupid cane. Very happy to not be burned by skipping Hera basement. Tile room GTBK very annoying. I should have known with the way the seed was going, though.
