Boss Battles and Silent Realm Time Trials

[ArthurDent]

Your a fighting master Jackimus, and you should invest in better recording equipment so the the video quality is on level with play quality.

Demise 24:56 (new strat)

Working on a video, my current best is a tad slow compared to what should be feasable, high 22:xx I am thinking. Phase 2 has a slight tweak, and phase 1 is completely brand new (it's an endless combo good for low decimal 8 secs). Stay tuned....!

EDIT: This strategy is larger bullshit than I initially figured, at least when trying to rush it. I have a crappy 25:13 run on video where I deliberately was careful about what I did if anyone needs to see this new strat immediately. I've almost entirely given up on 22:xx (although it is very possible), so once I get 23:something I'll upload for sure, probably going to be a few days.

Demise 24:46

I stand by my initial estimate of high 22:xx being possible, but the phase 1 needed for it is ridiculous. Even "taking my time to do it right" in the above video is kind of, well tough. Nearly every attack has to be in a specific direction, and throwing in 4 instances of attack -> spin is simply hell, I can't even complete this faster phase 1, at least not yet. Lost a bit of time early phase 2, being a bit late starting the combo (tough to time). Until someone crazy beats this time, I'm happy for now.

EDIT: Occured to me that I should elaborate a bit on phase 2 as well. The attack where he shoots the wave of lightning at you likely runs on a timer of some sort (5-ish seconds from the looks of things), if he's not in the middle of another attack he'll do it immediately. Luckily, his vulnerability period starts at this time whether or not he actually is doing that one attack, so that's how I was able to start the 9 hit combo from a standard vertical swipe of his.

Imprisoned (1) 55:06

Imprisoned (2) 1:04:43
Imprisoned (3) 0:56:93
Horde Battle 1:21:59

No vids due to camera faggotry. Horde Battle is not great yet anyway though.

[Jackimus]

Horde Battle 1:14:99

This time is pretty much unbeatable without stamina potion hax (or insane luck).

12/12, I think I'll finally give some silent realm a stab this weekend.

[Jackimus]

Faron Silent Realm 2:11:73

Used ZFG's route. Of note, I am using a tiny trick which might be enough for sub 2 mins (roll into the crawlspace). I'm horrible at the vine climbing bit near the beginning right now though, so that's an ambition for another day.

Scaldera 20:83

Random improvement while practicing for a full boss rush run.

If you manage to grab the tear surrounded by waking water then jump over it to leave the ''circle'' and roll when landing, you might be able to save another 0.50 seconds... But that's just an idea. I really don't know how to get sub-2.

[Jackimus]

Horde Battle 1:13:59

Was probably on pace for 1:10 or below if I had as good an ending as in my 1:14 run, but ehhh.

[Jackimus]

Couple new ones. My records are getting tougher to improve, which is why I haven't posted in a couple weeks.

Ghirahim (3) 0:39:93

There is a way to end phase 2 with one long combo, but it's slower (by about 1.5 seconds) than the method used here. It CAN be done without a shield though, to do it, attack to spin to knock the sword out of his hand, quickly charge a skyward strike and stab 2-4 times. Charge another skyward strike while backing away (too close and it wont work), and stab continuously to end the round. In phase 3 without a shield, use skyward strikes while moving backwards to get him to raise his guard without having to shield block one of his attacks. It is possible to clear 50 seconds without a shield if everything goes well.

Horde Battle 1:10:13

Really happy with this time. Didn't get the crazy good ending in my old 1:14 run, so a time like 1:07 is probably possible, 1:04ish with potion glitch.

Faron Silent Realm 2:08:39

Still awful at the vine climbing bit. Probably will record a run and move onto Lanayru once I can get 2:05s reliably.

[pivotguyDC1]

My best times: They're horrible.
Ghirahim 1= 33.16 sec
Imprisoned 1= 1:55.79 (in-game)
Moldarach: 51.58 sec (spam those stabs)
Tentalus= 4:15:32. yeah.
Koloktos= 3:52.04
Faron Realm= 2:30.10
Definitely going to improve Faron Realm, Ghirahim and Imprisoned.

Hey first post. The page where the records are kept is pretty out dated but I was surprised to see there and even throughout this thread that there was a large gap from first to second place for Koloktos.

So if those are still the standing scores my fight would be second place: http://youtu.be/B70Xka41Lwc

There are a bunch of mistakes in it and it still ended in 2:04.36. I only tried to do it for a few hours so I think I could score sub 2 minutes but probably not nearly as fast at Jackimus.

[fourtoe]

Dammit, this French guy now holds 1st and 2nd place on Koloktos, and did so since June:
http://youtu.be/GIQOvf_FffQ 1:47.86 And I thought Jack's score was gonna be impossible to match. Nothing better than going from 2nd to 4th in just one quick youtube search.
