History of GoldenEye's Hardest Difficulty: DLTK SpeedLore Episode 02 (The Twenty Minute Stages)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- The deep and remarkable history of GoldenEye's hardest mode, MAXED SETTINGS, or what's been come to be known as "DLTK". What began as a challenge from legendary GoldenEye speedrunner Ilari "Illu" Pekkala, has since turned into the most nerve-wracking, suspenseful, and epic mode of competitive gameplay in all of GoldenEye 007 speedrunning.
In this particular episode, we examine some of the longest, most intense, epic completions of DLTK stages, where Illu painstakingly clears rooms inch by inch, taking over twenty minutes to complete numerous stages.
Enjoy this deep dive into the early origins of GoldenEye's DLTK mode, analysis of completed runs, and discussion on the game and speedruns that tied it all together.

Thanks for watching, and until next time, stay true!
This first run with Jaws is a horror movie. The scariest run in Speedlore history.
The amount of tension in the Aztec run, particularly with Jaws and the three Laser guards at the end, was just on another level!
I have been so stressed recently. DLTK SpeedLore has come at the right time for me. these very long runs with Goose talking are perfect to relax and focus on.
I'm surprised DLTK runs could reduce stress in a person. Watching these things probably does terrible things to my blood pressure :P
I'm surprised how tense this is, despite the 20minute + runs length! Especially that first run, after he shoots Jaws then gets stuck on the wall trying to escape 💀💀 I was panicking!
fun fact: you need to be a bit mental to try caverns on dltk... and each failure will make you more mental... i got so much respect for illu! what an ending, this is a masterpiece! thanks for sharing!
Ok Spammy McSpamface.
U need to be a bit mental to post this every five minutes 😂😂
My friends, hello and welcome to GoldenEye Illulore!
Really good episode and great showcasing of some fantastic (and less known) acheivements
The coziest series on TH-cam 🔥
I played this when it launched in....'98? I was in high school and my friends would all meet at my buddy Jason's house and we played 4 player split screen for HOOOOUUUURRRSS. Literally 6-8+ hours straight on weekends sometimes, especially it it was raining. For his birthday party, we started at 4pm after school and played all they way through 5am (it was down to me and Jason, the other 2 had passed out). I stayed up by mixing yesterday's cold coffee left in the carafe with Dr. Pepper.....it was the worst tasting thing I've ever consumed but the energy was like a Red Bull (which didn't exist yet).
Good times....🥺😥😢😭
Two hours I can’t wait to watch this
Thank you for the quality Contant as always
The hole in the ceiling on Control is the craziest thing I''ve seen in a while, blew my mind hahaha
One critique Goose, throughout these videos you're often responding to discussion, like "That's right Flicker I agree". But by the time you respond their comment may be off the screen. This leads to a viewing experience where I'm often having to go rewind to see what you're agreeing with. I can understand why you'd do this on a live Twitch stream, where the conversation is constantly kept on the side. But I feel that for content made for TH-cam it doesn't quite work. Therefore I feel like it'd be beneficial to tell viewers what you're responding to for Speedlore. So Instead of "That's right Flicker, I agree." It could become "Flicker in the comments is saying this level is exhausting, and I agree. Or "That's right Flicker, I agree that this level is exhausting". Maybe just something to be aware of. Much love Goose.
I appreciate it, and I actually agree. I kind of "caught myself" doing that midway through, and tried to repeat some of the questions and comments from chat while answering them. I'll try to focus on that more, going ahead!
@@SpeedLore Yeah I made this comment sometime during the first half of the video. Anyway it's just a small detail but thought I'd mention it. If I weren't enjoying your content so much I wouldn't care to. Thanks for the response.
I had the same problem kept having to slightly rewind, appreciate the time and effort that must go into this Goose!
Didn't think I would enjoy DLTK lore so much . Can't wait for PD lore!!
fun fact: you need to be a bit mental to do your outro in 2.5 seconds… and each failure will make you more mental… I got so much respect for illu! what an ending, this is a masterpiece! thanks for sharing!
Omg I'm so happy Speedlore is still happening! I remember reading somewhere that you had stopped and I am glad you haven't, very nice episode as always and thanks for all the stories
dude THE ENDING on Caverns!!! nobody understands the true intensity until you at least watch a full run like this, especially in the year 2004 before Simple Plan became a thing. Also where's my ammo crate optimal path maps, i'm gonna need these for my Dam 00 3:59
On dam just follow what we do on dltk. You can't even pierce a single box with the kf7. You want to blow up the bottom boxes that hold the top box, so the top box drops down and gets damage dealt to it. The point of explosion spawns where your killing blow hits, so spawn that as much directly below the top box as you can. So it drops down, gets damage dealt from the fall, and falls into the flame. That way it's only 1 or 0 bullets to finish off the next box
AR only pierces one box so it's not really that complex on caverns
That was the most exciting thing I've watched this year. 40 minutes of buildup helped ratchet the tension, but still - so bonkers. madman.
thank you for the upload, its 2am and this is epic. Legend!
That Jaws fight was nuts
fun fact: you need to be a bit mental to try and paste a detracting copy pasta on a speedlore steam... and each failure will make you more mental... i got so much respect for you! what an ending, this is a masterpiece! thanks for sharing
The thumbnail alone, oh my god.. the absolute madmen
The quality on the first video is amazing for 2004!
At 9:05 - 9:14 he's looking down to increase the processing and frame rate to dissipate the smoke from the grenade quicker...a trick I used to use when playing older games, especially Goldeneye which was pretty graphics intensive for the hardware pf the time. If you keep looking at explosions, especially multiple, the game will bog down and run at like 2 fps.
Cool guys know this, hence the meme.
The spawning Laser guards on Aztec are some of the scariest guards in this whole game;
that stage literally becomes a horror game at that point.
Yeah, I used to dread the second phase of this level because of those guys.
Now that I know you can kite Jaws to the computer room and completely avoid it...
The DLTK Depot music is not an "8 bit version", but a MIDI version. How it actually sound depends on your operating system and its implementation of General MIDI.
MIDI versions of all levels from GoldenEye 64 were available in the early 00's on VGM and similar sites. Entirely made by fans of the game :-)
it was really cool to see you in GoldenEra
I was today years old when I discovered the Xenia music track in Jungle ended after a certain amount of time has ben reached.
Just like in the movie, it turns out that all you need to kill Xenia is a tree.
There is something really hilarious about slapping guards for a very long time and hearing their screams on repeat.
I think these episodes on DLTK are my favorite, so much suspense! They've actually gotten me into looking up DLTK runs. Still would love to see you go over some more!
Gonna have to edit in the Jaws theme for the first run. And I learned two things about Jungle: The strat to let Natalya kill Xenia and the fact the music stops after a short while
Nice just got home with a double double time to watch this and get baked
Enjoying these DLTK speedlores immensely. Fwiw, if you zoom slightly in your browser it shows the date on smaller resolutions. Was having the same issue with my 2nd monitor and that has fixed it.
Thanks!
One of the most interesting speedlores out there. I really liked the commentary that weren't necessarily related.
So according to the website, Goldeneye Forever, slaps to the front do the same damage to the head and torso. Slaps from behind do double, and slaps to the limbs do half.
I couldn't find a source for this, but I've noticed enemies who haven't yet "activated," such as the interrogators in Archives, go down in a single hit even on 00 Agent. Maybe when that's the case they're classed as hits from behind but I don't know.
They do double from behind likely because of the scene in the movie where Bond chops Xenia in the back of the neck to KO her - it's known in English as a rabbit chop and in Japanese (and pro wrestling) as an "enzui giri" (strike to the afterbrain.)
You'll hear English-language wrestling commentators pronounce it "enziguri" and it's usually a leaping kick to the back of the neck rather than a chop, but the idea of striking the medulla oblongata (the afterbrain) is the same. To Japanese speakers, whether it's a chop, a kick, or a really well-aimed thrown rock, an enzui giri is an enzui giri.
Bond rabbit-chopping Xenia actually raised the film's age rating here in the UK (among other things) and the shot is usually cut when it's broadcast on TV.
You are correct in that enemies who haven't "activated" will go down with a single slap. This was extremely useful info on Jungle SA & 00A, for example, where we would slap the first guard for his AR33.
The original Jungle music is used in a few of the custom levels on N64 Vault
Really enjoying the content!! Great episode 👏
I've had guards gun down Natalya in Jungle before. A good handful of times too.
Awwww yisss! Love this stuff, GG as usual Goose!
Straight pumped about this
Hey, Goose, I love your stuff! It's been five years since season 1! Maybe it's time for some speedlore updates?! Thank you for your content!
I've been thinking about it! An Aztec Part IV and V would be cool.
@@SpeedLore yes! Precisely on Aztec. Congrats for the 1:33, truly remarkable!!
Dark License To Pass Away
DLTK Speedlore is the best, and (as others have said) the runs feel unexpectedly tense to watch. "The Very Hard League" (from Illu's forum post at 1:43:00) would have been a great episode title...
Great video Goose!! Thank you!!
Enemy accuracy and reaction on 100 and enemy rockets....caverns gave me the hardest time. Caverns scares me of all levels.
I don't play aztec and egypt.
2004 box ending confirmed
damn i'm essited
2:19:06 When a roller door has gone ASMR
Lore time! Let's get into it!
Man, I wish my first experience with DLTK runs had been these mid 2000s ones.
My actual first ever exposure to DLTK was, unfortunately, this guy who suddenly had a nervous breakdown about this girl he was stalking and decided to take all his runs down, replacing them with videos about how it was okay for him to stalk her, and it kinda ruined the genre for me :P
Hopefully more of these videos can change my perception of that.
Love this series, I do find it funny how the Goldeneye community talks about speedruns because the IL's are short. Imagine your 40 min in and you lose your run.. Yeah, like most other games. lol
Hey goose how do u feel about doing a “goldeneye TAS speedrun explained” video. I feel like it could be pretty cool and you could also go into strats ppl used to think were tas only that are used nowadays.
I think i would probably get a heartbeat of 200 at the end of Caverns and Aztec
Grats on quitting soda.
I counted about 450 shots on Jaws.
Love this
Lmao the Irie Dall-e image
Tonight's viewing has been decided!
@1:14:58
that is some legit PASSSION **MY FRIENDS**:
and plassion is
very contagious?
i love you goose
You could upload over 10 minutes if you were considered a director in 2006
I never heard that before.
Good series
You should have had the runners in a chat with you, talking though what they are thinking at the time and explain why they are doing certain things. Could have been really insightful
I liked this video a lot. I have been a fan for a while, but I did get bored after a while(not by your fault, but it's like: mark, clemens, ace, base, goose, sterling, wouter etc). There's something about watching 1 run per level that caught my interest for 2.5 hours. Maybe you can imagine another way to do it.
That's some good feedback, I'll think about what I can do to freshen things up.
Do you reckon you're gonna do perfect dark dltk lore? Or any other games that have a similar challenge as dltk?
i love goldeneye
Is the whole “passed away the guard” expression to avoid TH-cam censorship, or is that just another weird speed running saying?
Toogoori doogoori doo!
Who else loves the Baron laugh
Lmao the euphemisms you have to use for the youtube censorship is unintentionally hilarious. "self-eliminated" lol
Fun fact: you need to be a bit mental to post pasta in Goose's DLTK streams... and waiting 5 minutes between each post will make you more mental...
So true
4:27 why are some stages green in the stage select??
I thought mark rutzou completed the silo DLTK run?
Nah though he is absolutely capable of doing it. He just is not a big DLTK player but hint hint you likely will see a run of his show up in DLTK lore at some point.
@@PHILLYCHEESESTEAK26 The first person to beat Silo on DLTK was Adam Bozon in 2013 - however, his video was in very bad quality, and was basically a low-quality recording of his TV screen, so it isn't very liked among that many people.
The first "proper" completion of that stage was done by Bryan Bosshardt some time after that.
@@Peter_1986 Bozon is the first person to complete it, and I am sure Goose will recognize as such. The video quality issue I am sure will be bought up but Goose has moved past noting degenerate moments and I am sure will recognize Bozon mostly for his amazing accomplishment.
Boss's run is amazing no doubt and yes is the first in good video quality.
But there is an important question to ask here. Is this done with the original controller? And played on the original 64
If not that changes everything.
Yep, original controllers & hardware. No cheats whatsoever.
Aztec TL;DR
Do you know the most about Golden eye?
im cooming bros this is gonna be a good one
1:22:44 LMAO 😂
This video randomly popped up in my recommendations. Some people might remember me, or might not. Anyways... Hi
Best B2 DLTK ever
You will probably be mentioned in future episodes!!
I remember you! You were the first person to ever complete Streets.
Gimmie lore then gimmie more lore lore lore 😆😆

It's AN homage, not A homage. If you pronounce the h, you're a schmuck.
And you have nothing better to do with your day I see
@@ThySoulessGamer My comment didn't take any more time than yours, my bromide.
@@cptnoremac ah, true.

What’s the big deal just play with all guns, infinite ammo and invincibility… 🫥🫠.
