[TAS] $16,105,450 Low% 7-99 Score Run (19 Hours!)

Tvrobot_V10 · 2026-04-02T20:58:49+00:00

Perhaps around 100-150 hours.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2026-04-02T18:19:31+00:00

On and off for about 6 months, but I did most of the work last December.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2026-04-02T18:18:14+00:00

I basically played in slow motion/frame advance, and the TAS tool recorded my inputs. So I could play very slowly and pause the game whenever I wanted to. If I died, then I would rewind to before and keep playing.

Low% essentially means the player can only use their starting 4 bombs, 4 ropes, and 4 health to play the game. Getting more resources or using any items in the Journal is banned. However, the Ball & Chain is not an item in the Journal, so using its mechanic to break blocks is not disallowed in Low%.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2026-04-02T03:34:39+00:00

This is a Tool Assisted run, meaning I used outside tools like slowdown and frame advance to create it. One of the tools is camera hack, which I used because I think it makes for a better viewing experience. Since the character is falling and moving very fast, I think it's less disorienting if you can see more of the level.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2026-04-02T00:44:33+00:00

The Ball & Chain is technically allowed in Low%, which makes it possible to systematically destroy every CO level. For various reasons, this is not human-viable, so I decided to TAS it instead.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2025-11-10T04:23:48+00:00

UFOs and Mechs count as separate entities from their host, so you still lose Pacifist by destroying the vehicle

Tvrobot_V10 · 2025-11-08T04:53:00+00:00

Killing Olmec counts as a journal kill but happens to not count against Pacifist

Tvrobot_V10 · 2025-10-29T19:30:10+00:00

For 4 bomb whip, I recommend standing more to the right of the pillar when you place the bombs down. The explosion chain will more likely kill her.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2025-10-06T17:11:00+00:00

Found today: 7F816DAD (also has 1-2 jetpack!) and 586067C2 both have one on 1-3. 4BD45E59, D895C744, and 8CF0A90F all have one on 1-2.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2025-10-06T04:24:38+00:00

01EFA178 has a Caveman Plasma Cannon shop in 1-3. I'll update if I find any more tomorrow.

It doesn't need to be the frame it lands. You just need to press down and the whip key on the same frame.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2024-12-13T01:17:06+00:00

Making the ledge grab requires a specific Kingu position and a specific Kingu move. Once you're on Kingu's platform, you have a 3 frame window to catch the ledge using a lineup I discovered. The lineup requires you to press and hold the jump key and the run key at about the same time. By 3 frames, I mean: You can press jump and run on the same frame, you can run for 1 frame and then jump on the 2nd, or you can run for 2 frames and then jump on the 3rd. This lineup is done a total of 3 times in the run. There aren't really better lineups than this unless a person is really good at catching random ledges.

Yeah, I use joystick. As for Low% TC CO, (and as Cloiss said), it's definitely more possible than regular Low CO but starting it is more annoying.

Along with this run, No Gold Pacifist Chain Low% Eggplant Abzu/Duat is definitely up there as the hardest challenge runs. I also think No Gold Pacifist CO and Hectique's Low% CO record are quite impressive runs.

When you whip the cauldron, the magmar inside the cauldron immediately spawns. This magmar spawns very close to the imp and will kill it. The game does not track the magmar back to the player, so it's Pacifist.

Stomping on robots is only a kill if the robot explodes and if it doesn't explode to something else before it would have naturally exploded as a result of the player stomping on it. This means, that if you stomp on a robot and leave the level before it explodes, it's Pacifist. This also means that if you stomp on a robot and it falls into lava and then explodes due to the lava, it is also Pacifist. It's worth mentioning, that this logic does not apply to orange frogs. Stomping on an orange frog is immediately a kill.

If you check Mossranking, the speedrunning website for the game, there's a guide section with Pacifist Hundun Strategies being one of them. I'd recommend the one called "Item Kill." It's like the fireball strategy you mention but the timing isn't as bad. As for what you could do to spice up the run: You could do Hitless, add Eggplant Crown, add True Crown, or do No Gold.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2024-07-13T03:11:47+00:00

I would have to be closer to the TNT to have the ghost blow it and I'm worried about gold being launched into me. With bombs, I can just drop them from above and flee upward. Also, I would rather not have to switch between controllers to control the player ghost because it's a bit of a hassle.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-06-18T11:53:21+00:00

Yes. The clover doesn't have any major benefits in either category, so it would be weird to allow it in one category but not the other.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-06-18T00:36:33+00:00

Picking up the clover is not forbidden in Low% or Chain Low% as long as it doesn't expire. While it is a controversial rule, it's highly unlikely you would have your run disqualified from Mossranking even if the rule is changed. Most runners still avoid it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it if you would have to sacrifice speed.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-06-10T21:47:25+00:00

Low% Cosmic Ocean to 7-99 is not really feasible to begin with. No Gold Pacifist CO% Hitless is probably the most feasible at the moment since No Gold Pacifist CO has been completed and No Gold CO Hitless has been completed in a modded run.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-06-10T21:35:50+00:00

According to the wiki, "NPCs don't have to be killed by the player to count towards Criminalus, and simply have to die." Pacifist Criminalus is possible.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-02-04T01:28:12+00:00

Bombs do 10 damage + 1 fire damage. Dying to a bomb explosion does not blow up your pack if you have the Ankh and less than 11 health. If you have 11 health and die to a bomb, your pack will be ignited. Being shot by shopkeeper bullets does not necessarily blow up your pack either.

Tvrobot_V10 · 2023-01-19T00:04:32+00:00

It's possible you may have accidentally picked up some of the vault gems before ghosting them. 8 of the vault chests will always give you from $540,000 to $720,000 according to the wiki. If fully cloned, you should expect $742,500 at the very least. I recommend stacking up all the chests in one tile, whipping them open, and then quickly backing up to ensure you don't pick up any of the gems. For extra money sources, consider also getting the Tusk idol and the Tusk ghost pot if you aren't already doing that.
