It was about time to improve that year old world record. Major improvements are on the spear throws and going for faster/riskier bosses strats. A44 - Ashen Discord : / discord Ashen Speedrunning Discord : / discord
I'm not sure what I would like more between an Ashen2 and a completely different project. The lack of support (or QoL) in Ashen made me less eager to have a followup game. Although this situation may have been outside of the devs' control, you can't really know what happened behind the scene...
For people speedrunning Ashen and having trouble with spear throwing, I've made a guide for it. It shows all the visual cues I use. Take a look at the guide section on speedrun.com/ashen or over on the Ashen speedrun discord.
Dude, u werent kidding, that palace waa insane, that last spear before u came out lol also, the boss fights were flawless! insane run, and u hold the WR, congrats! Ty for all your help during my solo run! :)
@@Anemion oh and u were right all along, i forgot to mention that, when u have enemies selected it is indeed much easier to dodge attacks, expecially in the boss fights! Gl on your runs as well! Thank you! :)
It's been said already, but I don't think it can be said enough just how impressive those spear throws are. On the one, it is the accuracy of the hits, but on the other hand, it is figuring out the setups in the first place!
Finding spear throws setups was my favorite part of routing in this game. It's actually not that hard to find or to reproduce consistently but the result always does look impressive indeed. This run doesn't show all that is possible to do with them, the "All Quest%" route has one or two additional tricks.
Your route baffles me. Well done my dude, how do you menu that fast? Are you using WASD+mouse? Slightly related, those are some *insane* spear throws once Amiren is dead
I'm using both a controller and a mouse. Some of the spear throws are a lot easier/faster to do with a mouse, while others require more precise aiming for which I use a controller (for moving the camera vertically). The menu kinda has a bit of visual lag but still takes inputs without delays or drops. So if you know what the button combinaisons are you can go faster than what the game displays. (Select, RB, down, A, up, A, Select, for disabling/enabling Jokell.)
There's an exploit at the talisman bench. When you buy something it asks you for a confirmation. Before accepting simply change displayed category using L1/R1, then confirm. This way you can buy Relics for the price of Talismans (or Talismans for the price of a Relic)
Can anyone help me on PS4? I have plenty of experiênce in Souls games, both in PS4 and Xbox system, but o cant beat Sissna on normal mode. And i really dont know whats going on. Tried melee, tried ALL types of Spears and trowables, but i simply cant beat her. The game Lost ALL Fun for me
You save&quit after picking up the item. When loading back into the game you'll be at the last ritual stone you touched. Last thing, the game has long fade-ins after loading but it doesn't prevent you from moving. With pratice, you know where to go without looking.
In Ashen, jumping is barely faster than running. The main upside is it allows to regenerate stamina sooner therefore makes stamina management a lot easier, specially in Children of Sissna.
