After months and months of pain losing runs nearly every day to Library and some beyond, I have finally broken a minute barrier. This has been one of the most mentally taxing things that I have done. This is one of my favorite games of all time, and being tested by it and trying to perfect it has been quite the journey. There is still timesave to be had, so I will be trying to go for a low 1:02. I don't know if I could get a 1:01, but who knows. If I look giga over it at the start of the run, it's because the 2 days prior to this didn't even have a single run to library. So I was getting quite frustrated. But I refused to give up. Since I knew I had the ability to do it. This is in the video description, but I'll also post it here as well. If for some reason you don't like my voice (literally badger from breaking bad) or don't want it over the run. I have uploaded a version of the run unlisted without my voice, and instead of my camera, there is a picture of my late cat. She was cute. th-cam.com/video/CCrTifYLhLg/w-d-xo.html
I remember a time not too long ago when you were ready to quit CE speedrunning for good... And all I can say is, I'm glad you didn't because this will go down as one of the greatest speedruns in HaloRuns history. You're in a league of your own now
When you leave the speedrun discord for 1 hour in a fit of rage, then realize it only game. Why have to be mad. I'm glad I kept going too. I knew I was capable. My mental fortitude was wavering, but I refused to give in.
@@henrychapman3727 Very true! I've known hours and hours of pain losing runs. I have still been losing runs to Library the past 2 months. But we continue on. Pushing for low 1:02 and maybe eventually 1:01
A sloth going this fast is unbelievable. Well done on breaking through the 1:03 barrier, what a run. Fuck the library though and lack of checkpoint after elevator.
I remember seeing u losing 3 runs in maw, two of them due to bad luck and one to barrels, this was very satisfying to watch, congrats! and gl on low 1:02
Early game can get so frustrating when it's just a loop of the first 2 missions. Especially when it's the same thing over and over again causing those resets. Glad to finally be past that 1:03 wall
It's just serotonin to watch your runs, King. I believe you can get the 1:01 or potentially lower but as you said there's gotta be some new strats to find out how to achieve that lower time mark. I got hope
I made 1:01:59 splits to compare against. They are absolutely toxic, but it is "doable". Might go for it eventually. First Floor Skip on Library would make it a bit easier. As that saves 25ish more seconds.
@@SlothSG So far it looks like Library is that strenuous save to lower it. Absolutely has me running all the wrinkles on my smooth brain to figure out where else could be saved haha. Time for a break though I reckon haha well deserved
@@SlothSG I'd never seen an OG Halo speedrun, and once I saw the crazy BANSHEE stuff that you did, my jaw was stuck on the floor. You're a genius in this, so much fun to watch.
@@funnerfunerals yeah, the CE speedrun has evolved so much over the years. It's crazy what it's turned into. Every level other than Halo has something wild in it.
@@SlothSG That's why people like you are so important to us gamers. Watching the way that you cut seconds off, even little spots, and wondering how many times you probably focused on little moments to fix your time, it's remarkable. I love your focus, it's amazing. I keep focusing on your grenade throws. They're so damn precise, blows me away. Also, it was the BANSHEE stuff, not Ghost, and now I feel like a freakin noob...
We all thought the 1:03 barrier would be broken by one of the trailblazers: Sloth, Cambid, Helpless, Nervy, maybe even Zoo or a newly inspired Garish. Nah, everything changed when the cat attacked-how inconsiderate of Sloth to edit in his face on the felines work. Seriously tho, congrats on the hard earned and well deserved record. Glad to see a legendary moment like this.
The fact you can burn through CE in an hour on legendary is bewildering to me, awesome job. I do feel bad that you have to kill marines to make it happen... I always have a soft spot for them.
When I first started watching my first thought was, “he sounds a lot like badger from breaking bad” And then after finishing the video I look at your pinned comment😂 that made my day
My sum of best is 1:01:11. Adding first floor skip on Library could bring that down to 1:00:45ish. Not sure were the other 45 seconds would come from tho. And that's also assuming I'd play at my literal peak for an hour straight. Definitely need something new. If only there was a big timesave on Halo found. Making the banshees pilotable would be huge, but the game script has them un-pilotable.
@@sdfopsdmsdofjmp7863 you can, but its really hard :requires a teleport into glass into another teleport with a jump while also sticking yourself. It's done in the IL. Saves about 15 seconds
@@jordaOwO Yeah, that's called HogStack but it's very inconsistent. Very hard to get that height every time since it's the same amount of nades we use for the regular launch
Oh my god, congratulations. From Walrus. I need to actually reset my Twitch password and drop by a stream at some point. Sloth streams were my chill time once upon a time. ❤
I miss the dry banter and joking with constant layers of irony and copium with dopamine hits of hopium and big W's. Bro, subbing 1:03 was something that dreamers could only achieve by combining the gold splits of the top 5 runners. What sorcery has been further discovered and mastered in bending the code of CE to the will of the speedrunner gods!
Who knew to get your 1:02 goal time was to just Cody Miller the game on heroic for a bit first, just to appease the category gods to let RNGesus give you break for once on the next legendary grind a day after. GG Sloth, lurking your streams, it was obvious that when getting past halo the level, not the game, there was always a bit of hype getting to AOTCR. But even more hype getting past library. The grind paid off, you made history getting this past a minute barrier. Big clap!
As someone who doesn't religiously play Halo and never knew about any of the speedrun tactics, the amount of times I found myself screaming "*what?!* is embarrassing
Yeah, first time viewing of all the tricks that have been found over the years is quite an experience. Might I recommend the Segmented speedrun that the community released back in 2021. It finishes with a time of 46:07 and has A LOT of things that are just not possible for a human to do. th-cam.com/video/YXjt8zSIGfk/w-d-xo.html
Congratulations! This is no easy task. Similarly, I admire your efforts to set Twitch chat straight. I saw you in the trenches of summit1g's chat during that brief halo 2 attempt. 😁 Lastly, I wanted to say the projectile range for the Halo 1 shotgun is 40wu and this would make it the same as the pistol. There was a discussion about it and I think you said it was 30wu when you listed the ranges along with Halo 2 and 3. At any rate, godspeed!
Haha, yeah summit's chat was rough. So much misinformation being spread and him just not taking advice from the people that actually know things (like cuttingcrew and synyster). Or him not looking at guides and just trying to copy WR. Also thanks for the shotgun info. Could've sworn I read it was 30, but 40 makes sense.
I'm sorry, Sloth, but I'll have to proof-call this run for the integrity of the leaderboards and speedrunning in general. The submission to the HaloRuns website claims that this time was achieved on Tuesday, the 26th of March in the year of our Lord 2024, when in fact, it was acquired on Monday, the 25th of March of the same year (anno Domini). This leaderboard inconsistency is untenable and will need to be resolved.
Yep, just a little break with some other games. Might even doing retroachievements stuff on some other games. Will definitely still be trying to lower CE once I get in the mood again.

We're only 2 mins away from sub 1 hour. You can do it.
@@TheOmegaRiddler Sum of Best is 1:01:11. So quite a bit to go. Need new strats that are fullgame viable to get discovered.

I watched garishgoblin for many many years and never thought it was possible to be this fast on haloce.
Beautiful achievement, congratulations Sloth !
Congrations gamer you finally done it
Now I can finally play the game
Love hearing, at the start of the WR run, that people can't get a run going. Those are the best WR runs. Thanks for keeping that in.
It was a rough couple days of attempts leading up to this run. Multiple days not even getting to Library. Crazy it finally happened.
Sloth Nation could not be more proud. Amazing job. So glad the hard work paid off o7
You know shit's about to get real when the run starts with a "take a break for your own sake" donation
So glad to see the years of hard work pays off for this LEGENDARY run. Love this so much!!!! SLOTH NATION BABYYYYY
Not bad for a rookie.
So glad to have witness this live. Amazing reactions at the end. Grats Sloth.
Thanks Jim :D

"free" timesave for the 1:01 grind :^)

Thanks Bert :D
hell yes! what a run! congrats on your WR!
Massive congratulations on a extraordinary accomplishment !!!
What a legend.
shout outs to garishgoblin for paving the way , good job sloth, someone will take this from you eventually but you'll always be a god :)
Proud of having been there for the whole run!!
He is simply too good, Sloth Nation never doubted you king
i was watching one of those prison of autumn streams, this game really tested you man holy shit, grats on the new wr you deserve it
Early game can get so frustrating when it's just a loop of the first 2 missions. Especially when it's the same thing over and over again causing those resets. Glad to finally be past that 1:03 wall

Definitely need something new. If only there was a big timesave on Halo found. Making the banshees pilotable would be huge, but the game script has them un-pilotable.
@@SlothSG Maybe you could break the collision on AoTCR similar to TB and avoid having to navigate around geometry and waste time on banshee teleports.
@@sdfopsdmsdofjmp7863 you can, but its really hard :requires a teleport into glass into another teleport with a jump while also sticking yourself. It's done in the IL. Saves about 15 seconds
