So, apparently the world record Any% speedrun for Salt and Sanctuary, a game I spent over 30 hours on during my first playthrough, is clocked in at... A little under 4 and a half minutes.

I mean, I know it's Any%, but... Fucking hell.

That’s some major sequence breaking for sure.

No, no... those days are far behind me.

Unfortunately, cheat engine does not work on reality so my normal response to that nonsense isn't as applicable offline :-\

How's that even possible? Just walking to the first boss takes like half of that time.

Presumably glitches, like how Pokemon Red takes less than two minutes.
There's a reason that "glitchless", or even just no-warping, are popular variants for a lot of speedrunning heh.

Oblivion is also pretty fast since you can out-of-bounds in the tutorial section and arrive at the end "fight", where you don't actually fight.

The first speedrun I saw was Morrowind done in less than half an hour with no warp-glitches, just scrolls of icarian flight and exploiting the lack of caps on alchemy potions.

Did you know you can cross the entire sanctuary room in two jumps? It's apparently a thing.

...also the 4-5 minute run I'm watching now's first boss is the queen of smiles, killed at the third minute. Then there's an impressive drop, arrival at the far beach, and... sword nosed llamas...? For the win. Literally for the win. Sword nosed llamas for the win.

E: Y'know, I just noticed how suggestive ringing your bell while being impaled by a llama is. Especially with it ending up with you naked, vision mostly white, and swimming in what appears to be clouds. How a game ending glitch can be this innuendo laden I'm not quite sure of.

Long-jumping covers most of your horizontal movement needs. After that we have bell cancelling out of fatal drops, one instance of apparently just phasing through a wall into a different area, using the ferryman WAY ahead of time and then through even more bell-drops getting plopped into the middle of the Pitchwoods a few moments after killing the Queen of Smiles.

Then he ran over, irritated a spindlebeast, kited it a couple screens to the right (apparently you can outrun the fuckers when you're naked?), and then used the bell while getting impaled. Somehow this respawns you directly into the ending cutscene.


A game based entirely around killing things, and he kills a grand total of 1 or 2 things during the whole run.

You used to be able to speedrun Two Worlds in about 2 minutes. Early versions let you trick the final boss, who stands outside the starter village for an early quest where you talk to him, into fighting the really hard to kill villagers and they would kill him and trigger the ending of the game. They eventually patched him to be immortal at that stage of the game.

Two Worlds was a lot of fun.  Shame it was silly in so many ways.  Necromancy was crap, meteors fell from the sky and did 600 damage, etc.


They made a sequel that is worth a go if you like the genre.  Tip:  summoning OP, mostly. So is multi-shot.

 Bring Stabbity or Bring Stability? I’d suspect a bad translation or the translation was a bit too literal.

It's almost certainly supposed to be stability, but with the pronunciation it comes off as stabbity. There's just one B, though.

E: Though now that I check his mech, I'm less sure. Its weapon loadout is the omnipresent vulcan, a beam spike in one hand and a beam claw (giant robot laser finger knives) on the other. Stabbity would fit. Functionally nothing but pointy melee weapons.
