Who's doing the Trial of Tyr?

[Zep Tepi]

I think I'll give it a try. Not going to bother recording it because I'm sure I have no chance against the seasoned speedrunners out there. Just trying it for fun. I even turned off my mods for test server and will try it all vanilla. Will I have the patience to finish without mods or looking things up? Who knows?

[Leiraion]

It would be cool if it becomes an actual in-game setting and/or achievement at some point!

I've already done a solo hardcore run before --- but that was with default mob hp/dmg, I believe one of the things mentioned was "Hard" in the new sliders.
Not sure what kind of buff that'll give the mobs but I know for sure if it increases damage by any amount I'm staying WAY clear of 2 star Berserkers, Seekers, and Soldiers!

Honestly, if Moder doesn't bug out during the fight, that boss will be pretty dangerous too.

If it's a setting I'm sure I'll do it after I'm done with BG3. :P

I would give it a try, but they need to clarify the rules. There is no way I'm doing this thing in one seating. So they would need to make it clear that it's the only way, or explain if it's possible to record several sessions.

It's an official seed. You can use mapviewer and dev commands before hand ti fully explore it and plan out your route exactly. The only RNG element is going to be mob spawns. It is going to go a lot faster than you might think when you know exactly where to go.

Seed Viewer here:
https://valheim-map.world/?seed=MX7L9GYcf2&offset=-33%2C1212&zoom=0.246&view=0&ver=0.212.7
In the menu on the left, check "Bosses" and "Tomb/Crypt/Inf. Mine"

The bosses are pretty close together and the swamp biome along the shore has a lot of crypts. Lots of caves around the area north (moving towards the other bosses) and the first mistland you run into going north (the direction you are already heading) has 10 infested mines.
It's definitely a good seed for a speedrun

Even still, I'd think it'd take over a dozen hours. It takes a long time to gather materials.
Most of the time would be sailing and crafting or building your necessary base stuffs.

I think it's just a "hey we think you hardcore peoples should give this a shot!" type of thing. But never-the-less I hope it becomes an offical mode, like One Life mode in Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

Hum, true. Another RNG will be content of crypts and all, but probably not a big deal. I may give it a try yeah.

Best of luck to any and all trying.

Looks like a superb map for this sort of challenge. The first five bosses are literally a short line north of spawn. Hecik, you'd need one portal to easily three of the six bosses, Deer is literally at spawn. The farthest trek is obviously the queen and she's still a straight shot when it comes to sailing.

Bet you anything someone is going to pull this off in under eight hours. You can cheese most (if not all) the bosses. The trick is figuring out where to cut the grind and the community has already done a lot of that publicly.

They'd better post the winning run

I might do it because for the last 5ish months I've been using the CLLC mod that set the spawn rate between 4*-5*. I've died 13 times on my current run at 700 days with over 40k build pieces....I took my time and built a beautiful village lol

I just need to research and study the masters on the craft of speedrunning valheim

[Zep Tepi]

Whelp, I'm already down one. Eikthyr got me, for the first time ever. Seems like I need to take hard mode more seriously. Simply tanking with a shield wasn't enough and I was keeping the rocks between us to try to get my health back.

I wasn't going to look at the map, but that's already been spoiled. Shouldn't be surprised though. Go north, eh?

[knighttemplar1960]

Not me. Speed runs on any game (or life in general) aren't my thing.

If I buy a sheet cake its going to last me a couple weeks. I'm not going to try to eat it all in under 5 minutes.

I'm with there speed runs make no sense, it's just a waste of money in my opinion. but to each there own.

Yeah they really wrote this as a fun for everybody event. While in practice its a marketing campagin disguised as speedrun competition. And its going as well as expected.
Im not even sure if we really have to kill all bosses, or as its says timer stops when queen hangs from the stone...

Oh my gosh. . .that's actually a good point. Obviously Deer needs to die for fast run speed. Assuming they're accepting runs that allow sitting into crypts you could skip the elder entirely. Could also skip Moder. Not sure if people would want to skip Bonemass because of the defense to pierce with its power. . .

Well, hopefully they learn to clarify if they do future events like this. I get the feeling someone was like 'hey, this sounds like a good idea' and no one took the time to actually sit down and plan out how it would work.

Where does it say fun for everybody? It's a hardmode solo deathless speedrun.

[Happy]

I'd love to do it but I've not that much time free of recent.

[Soulreaver]

I'm not participating as I neither have the time nor the knowledge to competetently join in but I'm very curious about the seed they chose for the competition.

So, I'm just exploring on hard and having fun on it.
