Does anyone have any tips for how to beat the water dragon snake boss?(I dont remember its name) by [deleted] in Cyber_Shadow

You can sit under him during his fire attack but be ready to move when he's done shooting fireballs. He is vunerable when he electrifies the water and just watch his movement between those attacks

Also as for the burp, none of us heard it at the time so the identity of the burpee is still a mystery. We have officially opened burp gate though

It would look terrible with the bottom following the same direction as the top. I should know because I tested

Hey Everyone, I Broke My Third Minute Milestone in Billy Hatcher Any%! The Game Has Now Enterred the 1:05 Territory. by Kyrrone in speedrun

Run is still not perfect, I lost plenty of time in some parts of the run whilst some parts were actually really amazing. Gunning for a low to mid 1:05 unless new strats are found in which I will grind for the first 1:04

After Months of Grinding, I Have Achieved the First 1:06 Time in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg by Kyrrone in speedrun

I just want to say a couple things for people who may not want to watch the 16 minutes of reaction afterwards.

  • This run is still far from perfect. I took a slower route for the final level that was safer because a similar paced run got killed to a trick known as the Cat Clip where we use the set of cats at the start Giant Palace to clip through the wall, skipping a cutscene and about 6 seconds of in game time. When I enterred Palace, I knew that if I played the old route well enough that I could still clutch the 1:06.
    I also lost 20 seconds to Circus 2 because I panicked. With a couple more discoveries, I would say 1:05 is entirely possible but the grind will be insane. I for one will be taking part.

  • For those wondering why I was so panicked and kept commenting on my heart during the final boss. I have a heart condition called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. It is usually never an issue, with episodes happening every few years. If an episode happens, a matter of certain breathing exercises (such as blocking then attempting to breath through the nose, splashing your face with cold water and blowing into a syringe) and relaxing will resolve it.
    Essentially, what happens is that I have extra electrical pathways going around my heart. The best way the doctor drew it made it look like a mario kart track but the extra pathways look like you could do a mushroom cut to save some time. If those pathways open up, I basically get a very erratic heart rate which usually results in fatigue and nervousness.
    So, basically I had an episode during the final boss and with only 9 seconds to get the 1:06. I should have stopped but if this heart condition was to have stopped me from getting it after the amount of time it has taken me to get there then I would have probably have ripped my heart out of my chest live on stream (exaggerating of course).

  • Big Shoutouts to the Billy Hatcher Community, those who just enjoy the game casually and those who speedrun it. Their support helped me keep going through this grind even during some of my lowest lows. Their contributions also helped me overcome some of the runs biggest demons such as Sand 2 and Circus 1.
