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?
This was so exciting! I love your narration style. Also Elysaku seems to have such a delightful personality, which you would never expect in a challenge like this that requires absolute nerves of steel.

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
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.
I don’t know if it’s like a moderation thing because I added a link in my reply or what, but it doesn’t seem to be showing up, so just letting you know I’m not ghosting lol. As a tl;dr for the reply, In general there were like 2 things that were a bit wrong (thunder time and what shulker yeet actually is (insane btw, check out tjthings video on it) ) and then 2 choices made for this video that were weird from an aadv stand-point, but were fine in general. So yeah I really shouldn’t complain about much since this video was super well put together and thought out in general. A lot better than most other videos I’ve seen done about aadv. I’m just a picky and detail oriented person (more so than anyone should be), so don’t let me keep you up at night lol. This is definitely a video to be proud of. (Sidenote if my other one actually goes through I’ll delete this one because it’s not needed).

14:36 imagine chatting with your friend on a calm desert night and then just watching him get fucking murdered in front of you by some stranger with a magical trident cause he noticed a change in the weather
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
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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
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*

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
It's more surprising to me how little has changed since Illumina's run, considering how much the times have come down. (Current WR is 4:33 by Feinberg, for anyone reading. Elysaku's PB is 4:50. Elysaku, Feinberg and Cube have all been on significantly sub-4:30 pace late in a run with no thunder; Dylqn and a couple others are probably capable if they continue to play.) I doubt all the significant strat changes put together add up to more than half the difference. It's mostly just being more efficient.
@@Superbri He is pretty high up there, and since there are no pro pvp'ers at all, him publicly showing off his skills is enough for majority to crown him as the best. Even though dream is better at speedrunning, meanwhile technoblade has more experience in skywars which is purely pvp, I'd say technoblade is better in that aspect.
@@iammarokk what do you mean by, "no pro pvp'ers at all"? Also I'm not even talking about technoblade, because Dream has improved tremendously since that duel and I've never fought techno.

10:49 a kind wither skeleton gave him head.
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.
