I FINALLY was able to finish watching (been a long, busy week)…this is such an incredible watch. I always learn so much from you and this is no different. I picked up a few new amazing one-liners this playthrough. Two of my favorites: “we cultivatored” and “we can serpentstewify”. 😂 Seriously though, even small moments where you just throw out WHY you did something, for instance, why you’re looking for a leviathon, (“harpoon helps out in the queen fight”) are golden for me-you’re always teaching, whether you’re saying something or not-so many of those things have improved my game. Thank you! A few times, you say something like, “I’ve been doing nothing for 18 minutes”, and I beg to differ. I get what you’re saying, but the amount of theorycrafting going on, especially AS you’re racing against the clock, is massive and the fact that you can keep it all straight (SANS LISTS!!!) is mind blowing. That stuttering sucked! Not gonna lie, I half expected a jaunt into the plains for a therapeutic village destruction, but honestly you were FAR less tilted than most people would be or that you led us to believe. Therefore, I will stay subbed! (I’m even double subbed, so there!) 😏 Thank you for including the post-run analysis. I love this part - and it’s equally enlightening and entertaining. I’m looking forward to how you apply all this knowledge and improve your time. Can’t wait!! And congratulations on the WR!
So, first off, let me say huge congratulations Thread, doing that in any time short of 50 hours is pretty epic in my view! 😂😂 For what it’s worth, really enjoyed watching you do this as you were feeling your way through the best strategies to completing this, and the fact that you’re so good at explaining your thought process as you go, felt like we all got to see what was happening ‘behind the curtain’ so to speak! As always, epic narration and overall game play, your videos always feel so natural like you’re interacting with an audience that this right there with you, and I really love that. Two significant thoughts regarding improved times for future speed runs if I may be so bold…..? First off, visit the temple of the RNGod, make a significant offering in the hope that he/she is kinder on the next run. Second thought would be to request that Haldor doesn’t decide to retire days before you start your playthrough in the next world! 😂😂 Other than that, very much looking forward to seeing how you refine the strats and what you can do in future Thread runs! As always, huge thanks for the great content, an absolute pleasure to spend time hanging out in one of your epic playthroughs! 😀😀👍👍
Thread, you're amazing. Thank you for another speed-run. You dropped this right before my days off so I could view straight through ty!!! lol I haven't made it through the ashlands straight through without cheats. So GD tense... hard to enjoy, definitely not relaxing. I thank god I can enjoy watching you do it. Hehehehe... Peace, and thanks again.
Wow, another world record! You’re setting the bar high! Impressive how you kept your tilt at a minimum in the Ashlands, even with all those frustrating stutters! 5:10:40 Look at this guys claws and teeth! Of course, he deals pierce damage, at least with two out of his four attacks. In addition, two of the warrior’s four attacks are pierce, twitcher projectiles inflict pierce, the marksmen and skugg do only pierce damage, the valkyries melee attacks are partially pierce, and even the warlock deals some pierce damage. The root -b- vest continues to be amazing! 6:33:30 Your brain might frustrate you sometimes, but please don’t be too hard on it. It’s quite literally the mastermind behind all your success and it’s a big part of what makes you, you. And trust me, that ‘you’ is absolutely awesome 8:37:30 Classic ThreadMenace 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why I didn't think the morgen would do pierce! That's suuuuper weird that warlock does pierce! Guess I should have done some research! Good call! Awhhhh, thank you!
Awesome run! Nice to see the queen battle getting so optimized. I think this is a good boss order, too. You really don't need silver from the mountains, so bonemass can totally wait until after the queen
The neverending saga of Thread trying to find where he threw his metal on the ground in Mistlands continues... LoL JK JK 😜 Love you bud! Gratz on the great first run. Only gets better from here!! 🤘
i was asking myself *the whole time* what you wanted to use those 2 iron for.^^ but to be honest, in my blind attempt i emptied a whole swamp and black forest just in case before heading for the ashlands, because i didn't knew anything about those new stone gates. going blind into pre-patch ashlands with a ship full of precious metal is about as nerve-wracking as it can get...
2:13:17 I'd been sad for the past few minutes (since you didn't pick it up when leaving the dungeon), but hopeful that you would notice sooner than later. Every step was another step you'd have to go back and you sure are fast!! Let's see what you do...
Nice Speedrun! I’ve been watching already some of your run. I’m still watching this one and maybe I missed it, but why do kill Bonemass this late in the game and not in the attended order as third boss? I’m wondering if I should skip him as well on my normal world 🤔
Thanks! 1. We skip silver so his drop is of no use to us 2. We don't swap for his power until waaaaay later 3. Later in the game we have better weapons/armor and the fight is a cakewalk 4. Killing him opens up a raid that can strike anywhere, whereas most raids only strike when you're at home, which we never are. Raids stay easy if he hasn't been killed
At 5:54:45, did a falling burning tree hit you for 64 HP and stagger you AND burn you, and then hit you again for another 21 HP while rolling, and another rolling tree for 17 HP whilst restaggering at each hit before any mob could hit you?? Do different biome trees hit differently???
@@ThreadMenace I did 0.5x speed and that's what I could see. Warrior attack animation is not happening till the end, and doggo couldn't attack once trees were in between. And there was nothing to burn you besides burning tree hitting you. Didn't even know trees could bonk and burn you. Also does that mean, since you have 50+ armor, that initial tree hit was 110+ ? That's a lot of damage. (maybe the speed of rolling counts too but damn).
Do you think it would be worth the time to consolidate all your forge mats at the home stead after stone portals? Only have to goto swamp if you need more iron.
I don't think I'll ever be doing that but maybe someday I'll pick back up my Hardcore preset run. No portals is tough enough, no map is tough enough, I'm not looking to combine the two 🤣
@@ThreadMenace i hear that man. i'm thinking about doing normal difficulty, no map, with portals and no building cost, so i can freely make roads and concentrate on my location.
I was playing yesterday in a run I ended up scrapping and I put two stam potions up there and I accidentally drank them both at times where they did nothing! #neveragain 😋
@@ThreadMenace My mates and I were able to dig under, didn't have any we couldnt get under but some fortes were a bit picky and where you could get through tho. Still faster than going through that wall ;)
I believe Thread calls that a "block-enabled combo." I just googled that - and yep! there are some forum discussions about it and a good demo video by Sitting Forgetting.
The strategy in the fight is to manipulate her into "flee mode," after which it is necessary to re-aggro her. The harpoon makes lots of noise wherever it lands so you can re-aggro from far away

Excellently said Seadog. Although, instead of sacrificing to the RNGod, why not just put a Cookie in your backpack? ;)
Even RNGesus likes Cookies, I guess 😄
incredible suggestions, i might implement that on my next run!
Almost forgot to say: You consistently make me smile, keep me entertained and educate me. Thank you.
Cookie oh my goodness thanks so much!

Love all your videos, I am your fan. Your content is brilliant. TY
Can't wait to see a new run. Awesome video!
The neverending saga of Thread trying to find where he threw his metal on the ground in Mistlands continues... LoL JK JK 😜
Love you bud! Gratz on the great first run. Only gets better from here!! 🤘
God I knowwwwwww LOL Hell yeah love you man thanks!
I may never recover from your passing at 5:32. That will be a raw wound for a long, long time.
5:32:00 ? OMG, me either OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFF

The sunken crypt / iron RNG this run was nuts. Wow.
"I carried those uncomfortable lumps of iron...."
best in the business :)
2:15
I was so annoyed that you were carrying 2 iron for no reason, Finally you realized that you don't have to, now my mind is at some peace :)
2:13:17 I'd been sad for the past few minutes (since you didn't pick it up when leaving the dungeon), but hopeful that you would notice sooner than later. Every step was another step you'd have to go back and you sure are fast!! Let's see what you do...
2:15:07 "Oh wait..." lolol, yeah, I feel ya. I took me a while to get used to using the new portal.
Oh that saves me a bunch of worry! That definitely changes the strategy of carrying the iron the whole journey!
I still haven't finished watching. I'm trying to draw it out to save some Thread content for when I need it.
Another speedrun! YaY! Good luck!
Thankquil!

Love it!
When will you make new video? Really can't wait :SS
SOON. I've beaten this time by a lil bit
Bonemass used to say: The mass is no longer moving, I think. I guess its a bit more dramatic now
Yes, that's right! thank you!
23:08 "hello"
😂😭
Do you think it would be worth the time to consolidate all your forge mats at the home stead after stone portals? Only have to goto swamp if you need more iron.
Definitely considering it. Only problem is that house is kinda cramped, might be hard to fit all the upgrades in there
I'd love to see you do a full playthrough with no map and maybe even no portals. that's my next task since I'm all done with the Ashlands content.
I don't think I'll ever be doing that but maybe someday I'll pick back up my Hardcore preset run. No portals is tough enough, no map is tough enough, I'm not looking to combine the two 🤣

if only i had some copper, i could upgrade that workbench says thread having 21 mistlands copper scrap in his cart
Yes, had to admit I spotted that too 😂😂
Oh no, really?! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
"Ashlands is hard"? :D GGWP gratz on WR
If you had lightning gems , would you go for lightning axes instead of Jade ?
YUP. if i got more metal i might've made both but if i can have only 1 it's lightning
2:25:15, Woah, never seen a chest on stonehenge.
Used to say Bonemass is no more. I like the new saying though.
Yeah I like it too!
6:46:30 you did a fast paced combo attack, how did you do that?
I like this explainer the best
Hey Thread! I was able to dig under wall of Ashland castle towers. Doesn’t it work for you?
Not as of the last couple patches but maybe I'll try again to practice to confirm. Pretty sure they lowered the walls underground
@@ThreadMenace My mates and I were able to dig under, didn't have any we couldnt get under but some fortes were a bit picky and where you could get through tho. Still faster than going through that wall ;)

Lol right?!
How do you do that triple hit with your sword?
I believe Thread calls that a "block-enabled combo." I just googled that - and yep! there are some forum discussions about it and a good demo video by Sitting Forgetting.

What is the harpoon for with the queen?
The strategy in the fight is to manipulate her into "flee mode," after which it is necessary to re-aggro her. The harpoon makes lots of noise wherever it lands so you can re-aggro from far away
