- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- Resident Evil has become synonomous with speedrunning the last couple of years and Resident Evil Village is no exception. In this video i explain the basicas of how new games are routed and how a speedrun becomes what it is, a lot of tehse strats are already outdated by the time i posted this video but that is exactly what i suspected would happen

Not about resident evil but, did you ever used the devil may cry 3 glitch that lets yoy skip the vergil fights by shooting continously as the fight begins?
I was able to do that in the special edition
I completed Vos on normal new game not new game plus because I thought that new game plus never even existed so I just jumped in and did it all on normal new game
Pretty sure most of the dislikes are because you thought it was ok to put an ad every 4 min.
you need cheat engine to count to 10 or whatever on VoS difficulty? seriously...
Playing the game normally: horror game
Playing as a speed runner: play as if you’re renting the game for one day
I did that in my NES days
Then on PlayStation I rented PERSONA...

@@Ramsey276one 🥲
Beat the game like 4 times now 🤣
@home9dog2blue horror survival technically, but yeah horror is becoming desensitizing.
speedrunning is everyday thing in PS5 cafe.
*Speedrunner sees mine*
Speedrunner: "This is a melee weapon."
Ngl thats mainly how i use them
I just came from a stream where some guy places it and literally in the placing animation he stepped on it 😄
A tactic that was found by being stupid enough to try place a mine when there are already enemies surrounding you. Turns out it deals bugger all damage to you if you do that.
Yeah, it's just the easiest way to use them. I accidentally dropped my first mine too close to an enemy and couldn't get away in time, but the mine did zero damage to me. Once I learned that, it was all downhill from there...
@@DrPonk loooool
This is just ethan being a dad and ruthlessly beating the shit out of everyone
SPOILER:
Imagine there was a alternative ending for people who beat the game fast and skillfully. Something like Ethan surviving or something.
@@idontknow2074 that would be fucking amazing. Spoils
That would be a great “secret/good” end for the game.
This comment Made me realize how much Ethan was like Joel
@@arabianprince7508
Yes, because some randos on a speedrun video definitely have the ability to do anything about that conflict.
@@arabianprince7508 Listen. You live on Stolen Land. Of someone Takes his Stolen House back it is not Theft but Justice.
RE8 speed runs are the only times Ethan uses his military training.
Lol, "military training" is just him not dropping magazines, but he still hip fires
@@B0ltActionPenis very accurately though
Hahaha this comment! Maybe that's why I like watching speedruns.
“Village of Shadows......... Starting Knife Only”
I did village of shadows and 3 previous play throughs with unlimited ammo on the dragoon and the wolfbane (later on) and it was still dam near impossible😭
@@marigarcia5804 nah, ur just bad if it was hard with infinite ammo
@@johnnyruoff665 literally, lol. I died only twice on Village of Shadows
The S.T.A.K.E is the better choice for VOS run if you ask me. More power, more ammo and faster reloads.
Bro how I was literally running on 1 hit the entire time guess I’m just bad
Moreau Skip will be found if it kills me😂 ITS SO CLOSE
foreshadowing...
Distortion2 has tried to skip the boss by using a cheat engine and, apparently, the game softlocks later on in the run if the boss is not dead. It sounds kinda hard to find a skip tbh
Moreau isn't so bad, it's just the irritating gauntlet you have to run to get to him, and on console the prompts need some work.
@@RvnWolf its not about moreau being good or bad, skipping stuff is fast for speedruns
yay greg skip
Could you imagine a "Wall monster" patch? A horrifying, powerful, creature that is always trying to get to you (even filling the area with unnerving noises) but can't get to you provided you're inside the games invisible (and visible) walls
YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE...
YOU!
SHOULD!!
NOT!!!
BE!!!!
HERE!!!!!
[Game Over]
That sounds exactly like the time when CD Projekt Red introduced the wendigo cow demon who only shows up when players where spamming killing cows in the Witcher 3 to get easy money.
@@RockNRollSurf lol, that's great.
The only reason I could think not to do my idea is:
_What if it gets loose on accident!_
Sounds scary...i like it
It doesn't kill you. It just grabs and holds you for an hour.
Bro, please do a RE8 speedrun explain when the run has matured a little bit.
will do bucko just you wait

should be accepted because I am pretty sure no one wants to watch them all over again
I've never speedrun any game before, but I've already finished RE8 5 times. I'm really interested in giving this a shot. I've already been lurking on the Speedrun forums and keeping up with all the newly discovered strats.
LOL I love when she says "Move yo hands!" That caught me off guard when I first heard it.
Lmaoo same, never heard it until just now, I kinda jumped, lol
I did the speedrun achievement for this game (I never really speedrun anything tbh), and I have to say it ignited my interest in running this game even faster. Amazing work documenting this, and I would love to see an update once the full route is complete!
Dude same! My initial playthrough took 12 hours. When I decided to speedrun it I got 1 hour 45 minutes.
Honestly the speed run achievement isn't really a speed run achievement. It should have been put to 2 hours because 3 is really easy
@@TheGhostLad1 the world record is 1:46:23 and the second place is over 2 minutes slower... yeah bro u def got 1:45.
@@5-iwnl-596 The fastest time I’m seeing on TH-cam is 1 hour 26 minutes...
@@TheGhostLad1 Sorry bro! I forgot that you could speed run the game and start out with all items. You probably did the lowest difficulty and didn’t have a new run. Cause even if you were a god you wouldn’t be able to do a new run that fast, especially on your first try.
Here’s why:
Casual Any% With Glitches- 1:32 WR
Glitchless VoS- 1:46:23 WR
NG+ With Glitches- 1:23 WR
Can’t wait for the “Village of shadows - Boulder Punching only” run.
Lol when heisenberg calls him a boulder puncher
And there will be a prize for the WR holder, that will be Claire Redfield as your new wife and you can't reject the offer. Or Chris will personally come for you.
Who knew, a shotgun that was historically famous for its slam-fire, is still highly effective in a game that features its slam-fire XD
I wouldn't really call it slamfire, we don't know when he's pulling the trigger and honestly the animation is pretty broken if you are mashing left click to shoot asap. It would be cool if he could actually slamfire it when you have it fully loaded which would make more sense. Its cool to see them do an animation where you load a round into the chamber to fire it immediately, but then if you let the reload play out he still pumps it after, ejecting that round...
Its still cool, but their animation system is still pretty limited and whats cool isn't really slam firing.
That’s what it’s called! been doing it in a different game for 7 years now
@@johntravoltage959 i don't know much about how guns are actually handled in real life but it's interesting to know about features or habits that get you using the weapon in varying ways like that, such as pumping the pump action shotgun after chambering a new bullet instead of before chambering, or other such things.
5:35 I love how one of the sisters is like MOVE YOOO HANDS
"I said screw it"
Me: Just do it?
"That's not what i said but yeah"
"ok"

This felt like a gaming documentary and I love it
yeah, they have a potential to do the likes of that, but I feel like they are not interested.
You should checkout Summoning Salt, he does literally that, speedruns documentaries about the entire process of world records per game
I ran into this weird "occurrence," after entering Caste Dimitrescu while speedrunning, and meeting Lady D and her daughters. Immediately after climbing down, I ran through the doors, and encountered all four enemies but invisible. I got so scared I couldn't register what had happened until I was already dead. I didn't see any of them, but I heard all three sisters laugh, and Lady D retract her claws. I was scared because I knew for a fact that room was safe, however this time it wasn't and I shit my pants. I have never been able to recreate this, and haven't been able to phrase this properly for a google search. Clearly it's a bug, but I haven't found anyone else who found the same issue.
I can't believe Cassandra caused all this mess

“300 damage times 3 and 9 of them- that’s 1800 damage.”
Wait what??? Isn’t that 8100 damage?
Yes you're right. Maybe he misspoke?
@@ProLaytonxPhoenix Probably, I need to hear how much health he said Moreau and Lady D had again.
@@CrispyBaconYT555 well he said that partway through the fight she "reset" to 7,000

Instead of multiplying 9 by 9 she added
900 + 900 is 1800

"when you stab her she turns into a bloodborne boss"
*shit went from 0 to 100 real quick*
I can’t even think about speed running the hardest difficulty, it is hard even with infinite ammo
Chris's section made me want to punch a boulder with how hard it was only having the Dragoon with infinite ammo to kill enemies
@@jonathanjoestar3785 just ran laps starting from ladder waiting for recharge. Stunning with grenades when needed. Even Uries fight directly after was fairly easy. Heisenburg fight gave me a real run for my money however, but made me appreciate the fight a lot more. Distancing yourself with rocket launcher and stun locking with weak points felt so good
@@chewruru yeah, I got it eventually, but it was really annoying until I got another checkpoint and kept getting screwed by one of the last lycan I had to get rid of before advancing. Also, I feel you with Heisenberg. I thought that was hard too.
The hiesenberg n miranda fights made me wanna kms
@@fun6264 i did 2 days ago village of shadows difficulty and damn heisenberg fight was the hardest part! the part with chris you gotta fight waves of enemies at the statue, i got inf ammo dragoon, but i did not notice until the hardet difficulty, about the 1 house behind the statue and the house one the left! both had 1 red barrel to blow up and ammo and medk its and grenades! made the fight wayyy easier. and urias mkII is NOT hard fight.
Wait, mines against moreu’s tongue are x3 damage, so 300x3=900 and then you planted nine of them so 900 x 9 = 1800? Did you mean 8100?
Even if he meant 300 times 9 it still doesn't need 1800 I don't know where he got that number from. I'm glad you made this comment I was about to.
@@theyearwas1473 no worries, I’m sure it was an honest mistake, just accidentally got the 1 and the 8 backwards or something like that haha
Literally as soon as I saw the word "Wolfsbane" I knew it was gonna work crazy on the lycans
I mean it works against any boss / normal enemy its just that for this one boss having it was found to have a better time save over normal fighting. since the magnum does 1900 damage and yes it means 1900 in terms of real damage value. Meaning every shot + lets say 200 (this might be a gross bonus) since they are headshots do 2100 every shot, in the clip they have 10 bullets meaning they do ~21000 damage once they are done shooting the boss. so yeah, it just does a lot of damage in general.

Such a relief that Village is a great game full of variety and replayability. What a blessing to us all!
Capcom hasn’t missed, with resident evil since 6. 7 was a great horror game, re2 remake was a great re game and re3 remake was good even though people acted like it wasn’t which is stupid
@@wthjinx1449 People were mad because R3make is full price for a 5 hour game that took out so much from its original version. Not to mention that a lot of the things were a copy and paste from Remake2. It’s not what people wanted
@Leonard Trent resident evil 7, 8 hour play through what shit you spreading?
@@chunchunmaru4185 for your first play through lmao
@@wthjinx1449 Agree with you. I loved RE3 remake, despite the length.
Love all of your videos. You got me into speedruning.
That's awesome!
Moreau: "i'M ThE bEsT!!!"
RE8 fans: Yes, yes you are! 👏
Dist is just not human, not just because his hugs crushes his gf Larxa bones but because he is a god damn machine while doing speedruns.
I cried tears of blood doing my VoS new game run. That moreau fight man... I was tellling myself that speed runing this would be impossible. (insert heisenberg famous "ah") You guys are crazy ahah. I cant wait to see the first speed run VoS new game !
The routing videos are so fun to watch even from a casual perspective
The shotgun thing blew my mind. Might help bump up my mercenary scores.
Right now my strategy is selling the handgun and all the handgun ammo and rifle ammo and that gives you just enough to buy the best shotgun. It basicaly one hits all the enemies but it has a slow ass fire rate. Using the reload trick I bet I can get a full level combo
using this trick like the old CS awp weapon swap between shots makes you bypass weapon swapping with shotgun to get better score lol I'm surprise this was left in by the devs as most shooting games, especially FPS always make it to where you can bypass reload or firing rate using these tricks.
The best way to get a huge score is using the pistol because It doesn't insta kill and you can keep shooting enemies to keep your combo going
I beat all the normal Mercenary runs SSS with the best pistol and it was fairly easy. They fucking drown you in pistol ammo and that thing shreds basically everything in its path. Also that trick wont work for the best shotgun because it doesn't take shells it reloads a whole mag. It WOULD work for the second shotgun though. The best tip I can give is always pick Agility in the normal maps. Combo is everything and you need to get to the next enemy fast. Once you hit the 2 maps literally everything you know about the game mode get's thrown out the window and all you have to focus on is staying alive and trying to keep a consistent combo. Factory 2 is the worst one but after that the next map is considerably easier.
I love speed running RE games. Even tho I am not a official speed runner. I love seeing people stream and figure out routes. I love seeing how to skip certain stuff and see very interesting strats for bosses. Good video
Uh oh back to da lab again. *Oh no back to da lab again.* We messed up back to da lab again. *Not again back to da lab again*
Every dat

ad: "mom... dad... i'm gay"
Op: "knowledge is gained by learning"
Human race: "blasphemy"
One big difference from RE4 and This game is that in R8 you can actually buy ammo from the vendor. RE4 you have to keep using same gun to kill enemies and make them spawn more of same ammo type that you are using as your main weapon, which kinda sucks since you have to farm ammo by using weapons with same ammo type. Here you can just stock up instant at the vendor with money. Also allows you to skip collecting ammo in speed runs.
I was just looking for a new video from this guy
Waifu men you're awesome, all of your content it's not only fun but interesting, keep it up!
Unloading on Lady D huh
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i legit subscribed because "screw it" joke lmao.
He really said "go back to the lab again yo" ...I'm crying😂😂
JESSE
I respect you censoring the spoilers in this video so much while everyone else is summarizing the ending in their video titles
Seeing Skyward Sword go from 5-6 hours to around 1.5 hours was incredibly fun to watch. Looking forward to RE8 speed run evolution as well
i love it! it's a constant race to find strats w you guys lololol
This is ACTUALLY so interesting I always wondered how speedruns first start
thank you for leaving out the final two bosses, I’m just before them on my first play through, respect!
As far as I can tell, the categories will be:
CASUAL STANDARD HARDCORE VOS
NEW GAME NEW GAME+
And then there’ll be categories for all the challenges people do, like knife only and no damage
the official categories go live on the 28th but from what the mods tell me it will be, Casual Hardcore and VOS, New Game, New Game +, Any% and Glitchless, 100%, Knife only
for those curious, the song playing at the start is a synthwave cover of Voltaic Black Knight, made by Millz.
Cool video dude, been loving the streams as well!
WaifuRuns: Yeah Dimitrescu’s fight is around 6 min
Me with my upgraded wolfsbane: yeah, about that.
Can't wait to see speedrunners come up with new routes and tactics as time goes
7:35 Gaz: remember reloading is always faster than shooting.
New sub because your hair is amazing
The only challenge in village of shadows was the perfect big local boi chilling in the basement, 1 of my 3 deaths was right there because I backed up into the corner to camp. The other deaths was in the lady dimitrescu chase and when I forgot to unlock the lower main hall door so after I went down the elevator her thicc hips trapped me in. I literally never died after this
I haven't even gotten to Moreau's section of the game yet. I've been dallying on playing it because I'm really skittish with horror games (as much as I want to go back, life keeps pulling me away anyway). I'm really looking forward to seeing how the rest of the game plays out, and following the speedruns of it!
I will say this the 2nd lord fight is more amnesia feel then find a puppet 3 times and you don't use ammo for it just a heads up
Resident Evil games are one of the only series I absolutely love to speedrun, so I'm very excited to see all of the ways people find to the shorten run times :)
with all this knowledge and strats being found, i wonder how a carci no damage run will eventually look
I like that these speedruns are really close to the way it's intended to be played
This is the first game that’s made me REALLY want to get into speed running, may look into it this summer after I graduate
The ADS can be disabled on the big werewolf boss by stunning him during specific animations with flash bangs.
Love the fact that you’re a long hair! I was too in the 80s!
Looks like a girl
I've not quite finished the game yet, just finished the Heisenberg bit, so thanks for removing end game spoilers! Been avoiding any RE8 content like the plague until now, a like a sub from me.
This game is super fun, but I wish there was a option for true iron sights like not a hero in re7
Is that the David Hasselhoff icon from completing the Zombies in Spaceland easter egg?

Dude..i just found ur Channel and this video is absolutely amazing bro....I didnthe village of shadows run but I used the infinite ammo stake lol and even that was not easy but I managed to run it fast considering I beat the damn fame like 8 times before lol I ran it on ps5 soo wasn't speed running but I loved the game so much and learned the ins and outs of everything from item placement to beating the game in what would be a good time for me. Anyway just saying I'm intrigued to give this a try myself now inseriously enjoyed r e village u got me over here thinking I should try to speed run it. Thanks man ill be checking out the rest of ur vids now this one was super informative u dontnget that often with a strat speedrun all u get is the run never the strat.
The speedrunner must know the game mechanics inside and out

Awesome video as always, I love your work ♥
Okay, really interesting video, as I was just wondering today, how much progress was made in the Speedrun. (as I'm not really part of the scene, these things fly by me) Just a question, are there any strats for the Doll-House or is ist basically just routing by now?
More interesting to see this after seeing the one vid of CarcinogenSDA beating the game damage-less on VoS (not a speedrun but takes alot to do no damage to yourself) and take it to how much their is to do more for a speedrun. Great vid and hopefully more breakthroughs to come (saying if the route is made already/ categories are made)

This was a really interesting look behind the curtain. Always blows me away the way speedrunners break down games like this.
Ohh hey I know distortion2
Chris, he’s all grown up now look at him.
I love this game. So much that I might start speedrunning it after I get all the acheivements.
Hey man - Good stuff will be subbing. Wanted to let you know that you can see some spoilers in the stream-chat at around 6:42, might be more in other areas where you show the chat too. Since you went to all the trouble of leaving out some fights to prevent spoilers, I figured you might want to know.

um, you might just need a better computer since for that to happen you would need to go really really fast on a computer good enough to run the game itself. and my computer isn't even that good but after I beat the game and got a lot of the achievements/challenges I messed around with cheat engine hacks like speed boosts where I was able to go 5 TIMES AS FAST and the game NEVER lagged. also unless you are doing it on a harder difficultly than casual you don't need to be that fast. I got the

So idk if this will help with anything. But talking about out of bounds. During the Moreau sequence, in the one area where you have to push the cart into the water, raise a platform and then push a second cart into the water to form a bridge, if you stand at the very edge of the platform after you push the first cart and look down, you will get a prompt to push the second cart (that's currently underwater still) and it will toss you out UNDER the map with completely free roam.
It's like not even reaction anymore it's just muscle memory
I let out the loudest "HA-!" during the intro when I saw that out-of-bounds trick! It was a mixture of surprise and amusement. Surprise because I didn't know what happened and then suddenly you're OOB and amusement because of how quickly it had been found! As you said it's only been a week or so.
Out of bounds is cheating.
I was just watching an older speedrun video and thought "hmn when does waifu gonna upload a new video?"... Checked my notifications and jeah.. Now I'm here :'D
Nice!
i wanna how speedrunners break house beneviento. All i found is you can turn back after 2 pillars to make the baby appear, circle around towards the breaker and use the baby's route to open the door faster. The second one is after hiding in the bed, after the baby enters and stop, when the baby made 2 steps, you can already go out(even though you will be touching the baby's hind leg) and make your way towards the elevator. This is the only part where im interested in cause it's so boring, replayability-wise.
This was an interesting video
I think this might be one of the first games I actually speedrun. I'm terrible at routing but I've always loved speedrunning and tbh this is one of the few games I can reliably beat stupid fast and know inside and out so quickly. Plus it's a very short run. I even had a sub 2 hour run (though it was on casual and it was on NG+, of course, so I'm guessing it's not that impressive).
Thank you for providing great resources like these! Also I'm SO surprised that flash grenades aren't used more in the route. I abused them.
Thank god for that magnum. lol because village of shadows would have been nightmare without it lol just beat it today. Didn’t struggle at all luckily until the second half and even with infinite weapons it gets hard. Lol my hats off to the guys that do this straight up and defeat these tank like enemies. Especially that quickly
What you gotta do to get infinite ammo?

Wow! I know very little about Speed Running, but this video so clearly explained so many things I had wondered about! Can't wait to learn more.
