    The first time I got over there without using the H-rune was using Lightspeed. But this is way more accessible. Lol

    Can't be on a runeless 0-5 because the trigger for the cavern key door IS killing the king, and therefore obtaining Homunculus. Of course you can make it easier by picking it up but never using it, it just wouldn't be a true runeless

      Well now I feel kindah dumb 😅
      In Powers video that got me thinking about runeless runs, he says to just get the homunculus for the key, since a legendary javelin drop is ridiculous. I figured this way you can still do it and avoid "breaking the rules" too much.

      @@GaiaGhost yeah, the moment the cutscene ends when killing the king, you get the rune. I even tried to close the game out via task manager's end task during the cut scene.

      @@POWERMF64 Damn, well sounds like it's entirely unavoidable then, except in the case of a *very* lucky javelin, too bad.
      I'm mostly just toying around with weapon mechanics at this point. Also found an alternative for reaching Graveyard without spider that you might get a kick out of.

      Bro he didn't USE the rune to make the jump, therefore making it a runeless jump who cares if he's actually got it he made the jump without using it

    • @GaiaGhost

      @@suismarc BRO.. it's just another way to do it. Using the kunai for extra distance was definitely not a mechanic many players used or knew about, only ever saw 1 other player doing it which is mainly why i shared. It is also a weapon that you have at the beginning of the game, so it's likely starter equipment if you got 1 BC right away (i.e doing those types of challenge runs.)
      But more than anything this is just showcasing that you can get around a lot of the platforming this way. It is specifically arranged so that you're not supposed to be able to make it with only 2 jumps, and yet you can.

    Not gonna lie after beating the game a few times through normal and not being able to get past boss cell +1 this would've been cool to know about before hand but doing it the normal way the first time felt accomplishing. This game really gives the sense of great feats and the feeling of actually learning something from each death. Dark souls just pisses me off but this game, why, it's a masterpiece.

  • @holidayoreoreal

    I forgot that the homunculus rune existed so I just used an amulet with an extra mid air jump to get it

  • @alexandruandreiursu3152
    @alexandruandreiursu3152 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Easiest way I ever got in there was using the assault shield roll strat. You just use the shield and roll off the platform, and then have two jumps to get in

  • @Crystal_Chaos
    @Crystal_Chaos 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Here's another idea I thought out of it myself and don't know if other people use it but you can activate the switch with your head and yes it can reach over there and once you're there you can grab the key with your head as well and go back honestly the quickest way I think but your way is interesting as well

    • @shrochrome
      @shrochrome 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Ok? But why? Don't you NEED to have homunculus to even access that room?
    Like I guess this method is faster... But still...

    • @GaiaGhost
      @GaiaGhost  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It _is_ kind of pointless, not really meant for vanilla playthroughs. Another player recently did a "runeless" run but the *only* other way to reach the cavern is if you're lucky enough to find a legendary war javelin, incredibly unlikely. So they said to just make an exception for the H rune to access the key room. But in keeping with the theme of the run, try to find another way across.

    Im confused on how the game wants you to get in there, is it not just shooting your head over? Its by far the most consistent and easiest strat just shoot your head right then jump underneath and activate the buttons, recall head then jump across..
