That's a fantastic video! The "turning into a shell" thing sounds like it was well-known before I did my write-up on it here in 2022
That's actually something I discovered 2 years ago, so after your message The way to do it is basically to die at the same time you get on the shell (well it's easier said than done but with 10-15min of attempts it's not too hard). You can do it on map 1 as well, here is a funny clip where it accidentally happened to me... in a No Major Glitch run x) https://www.twitch.tv/torsinn/clip/Calm ... Mb2scW5pQv

Payman wrote:After 3 years, I've finally beaten my old IL record for this level. Got a good Jail slide and instantly got Murfy Skip. Next, I got a good spawn with the Murfy cage textbox. Then surprisingly got first try ledge grab after lum #4 and got a pretty fast Baby Globox cutscene Skip. Finally, got a good wall jump and Teensie cage break for a new record and the first sub 3:30 Woods IL.
Only minor timelosses were how I grabbed lums 1 and 2.

Payman wrote:Early game was garbage, I had a very slow Tornado Skip and Bayou GLM losing me probably a minute but I decided to continue just to play the game. Mid game was alright with a decently fast EEC but had a garbage Echoing Caves portion and a shaky Precipice. Late game had some pretty good movement but sadly had to get the bonus game in Rock & Lava to make up some lums and lost 1 lum in Walk of Power. End game was pretty good, got the hard tricks I wanted but only issues were a silly death in Tomb and bad RNG in Crow's Nest.

Payman wrote:After getting Revo All Masks WR I had chat decide another category for the day and they chose Revo Treasure% and after one attempt I got this run. It had a rocky start with Woods of Light, but afterwards I started playing pretty well with the exception of some safe strats. Only big timeloss was Jano Skip 2 since I failed it three times and lost about 40s. Somehow with a bad ending, I got the first 22:xx milestone for this category.

Payman wrote:The first half of the game started off pretty good, the only major timeloss was a stupid death in Lava Sanctuary. As for the second half, it wasn't off with the greatest start especially with Stone and Fire tree clip and having bad gameplay during that level but everything else went good aside from failing Final Boss Cutscene Skip and bad RNG.

Payman wrote:Early game was amazing, I was nailing every movement and tricks I could ask for. Mid game was off to a good start with hub 2 skip and the pirate mines but lost some time due to bad gameplay and safe strats. Late game was also good, aside from forgetting a certain strat in Beneath Rock and Lava. End game started off shaky with Tomb switchless and Clark fight, Iron Mountains I played safe for the sake of gold gloves, Prison Ship went pretty good, and Crow's Nest once again had bad RNG for the 3rd time in a row this year.
Huge GGs Torsinn! Skipping that treasure choice dialogue is such a massive time save for 100%. Crazy to see how optimized this category is getting. Well deserved WR!

Payman wrote:Early game was okay, aside from a stupid death in both Bayou and Water & Ice. Mid game was incredibly shaky with managing gold gloves for the 2nd generator that I had to do safe strats. Late game was really good, asked chat for potential Chenille Skip and thanks to them I got it first try and saved 1 extra minute, however I didn't do Foutch skip since I wanted full health for what was coming up. End game was good with a first try switchless, however had to play safe to keep gold gloves until Prison Ship 3 pirates, as for Crow's Nest didn't get cutscene skip and STILL got terrible luck with the ammo spawn.

Oops, a stray hash got in there. I wonder where the bug was between SpeedRun.com and our own SpeedBot
Thanks for fixing it! It's probably both: speedrun.com had no reason to provide a lone hash, but SpeedBot should have detected it nonetheless.
And congrats Torsinn on yet another WR! That's a really impressive performance with that death in the Marshes of Awakening. The grind for the 1:03 is looking closer than ever.

EricZen wrote:After so many runs that died in endgame I finally managed to get my first 58:XX. This run defenitly makes me feel like I can get a 57:XX as well since I had way better paces entering endgame then this run plus there are many safe strats I'm using that are losing me time. So I would really like to get a 57 but my mindset for speedrunning right now is not healthy at all. You might notice with how salty I got over every bigger mistake (So sorry for this btw). I really hope I can fix that in the future.
