Easily the most insane speedrun I've ever seen, not because of the luckiness of a normal run, but because of the skill and determination he had to lodge MULTIPLE attempts at this, each of which lasted hours, to complete the run. Completing Minecraft alone is difficult, getting every advancement is even harder, and doing it on half a heart and on hardcore is just insane.
When I first saw Elysaku's stream title being half heart hardrcore all advancements, I thought I'm reading it wrong or something because there is no way anyone would ever attempt that. I needed to watch a good few minutes of the stream to make sure I'm reading that right and he isn't joking. Finishing a run like this is truly an incredible achievement.
Can we also just appreciate that he beat the game in 41 minutes, on half a heart, trying to get as many advancements as he could, and all while playing it safe?

FeelsStrongMan I remember pikaJ mentioned somewhere that this would be covered if it is completed lol. So happy to see this :). This was crazy to watch live and the fact that Elden did his first ever beacon-swap hdwgh along with doing the new chad hdwgh during AAHHH was absolutely insane and such a big moment. The inclusion of recent aa tech changes was awesome too, really like how this was covered (even though one or two things were slightly inaccurate xD). Very proud of and happy for Elden and the AA community.
Thanks for the kind words! Out of curiosity, what were the slight inaccuracies? I know that during HDWGH, I said that he hooked a dolphin to a post when he didn't (idk why), but since it was so minor, I left it in there.

How crazy do you even have to be to think of the idea and try it, let alone actually succeeding. This man is the definition of patience and determination
Great video! He did it FeelsStrongMan Btw thunder is usually averaged at around 4 hours if you don’t sleep (sleeping resets rain cycles) based off simulations, so the wiki probably made the 9 hour stat up
most astonishing thing was that it didnt even take him very long to get to the point where he could finish a run. thought he would be resetting for many weeks or months but he got it in such a short time
Your videos are literally the perfect balance between fun quality and time. I think I have to watched most of them multiple Times by now, keep it up man!
That's the part that kind of turned me down in this video, since it's just a blatant lie. Getting an Upgrade is clearly much harder, that's why he doesn't dare attempt it until the very end.
That’s insane. Any of these challenges (aa, half heart, hardcore) are difficult on their own, but to combine all of them is a completely different beast of a challenge
I also did this, not in a speedrun, but just in a survival. I love making farms ans such, so I made a HHH friendly gold farm, pillager farm, and raid farm, so I can get infinite golden apples and totems. I also did a lot of other things on that world, like building a megabase. I really like HHH as a gamemode. But I definitely couldn't do it that fast
great video. I don't play but enjoy speedruns n things pertaining to ''the best.'' Your explanations were perfect, since even I a non player could understand well enough what had to be done, to enjoy the vid
Dayum bruh, I knew I will see you again at my recommendations page. The fucking channel getting bigger and bigger. Please don't stop your content is absolute definition of quality
This man is a legend, not only has he done probably the hardest minecraft speedrun but also figured out that it is a massive content farm compared to traditional minecraft speedrunning
I caught him live on twitch one time a few months ago trying this. I was utterly fascinated with this run, because I did not understand any of what he was doing.
yeah tridents are VERY rare. the rates for a trident holding drowned dropping one, while not using looting 3, is 8.5% (the math is 100/8.5), so about every 11.7 trident drowned killed per trident obtained, not bad. BUT trident drowned only have a 6.5% chance of spawning, so its actually about 1.8 tridents, per 100 drowned (the math is 11.7/6.5). so yeah, a 2% drop rate for a weapon that isnt even very useful in regular non-speedrun play, nice.
He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will! Seriously, the lengths humans will go to accomplish a seemingly impossible and pointless task just amazes me.
I can name 1 thing that is way harder than this: All advancements half heart hardcore blaze and caves (Or in short: AAHHHBAC) If you don't know, blaze and caves adds 1000+ advancements to minecraft
This is my 7th time watching this video, a fantastic video to watch when you can’t sleep, relaxing and once the video is over I feel happy and satisfied, great stuff to help me sleep, love this video bro 🤘
wow your so unlucky u spawned in a luke-warm ocean and the bedrock edition wither spawns there and eats u up with full netherite enchanted armor and then u... *DIE*
man got the all of the advancements and the last advancement is a stone pickaxe, what a mad lad
Ikr xD
Haha
its a meme within the AA community lol
Yeah it’s a thing that some of the AAHHH community do.
imagine if somehow he savd "getting wood" for the last one
Props for him to leave the hardest advancement for last, "getting an upgrade". Well done!
Yeah, that one's a real run-killer
I haven’t done that advancement in my 69,000 hours of playing

Cat is priority
Tbh petting your pet should grant you a pause
@Yas Jun you van pause a you want in AA runs, the official time is counter using IGT

We should name this the "Elysaku Run" (AA, half heart hardcore run) as an homage to his perseverance.
Perhaps, but "Deathwish" is also more accurate to some degree about the difficulty of the challenge.
3 months ago pika: “speedrunning HHH is the hardest category.”
Also pika: “AAHHH is the hardest category.”
