## Challenges

Challenges themselves are nothing new to the speedrunning scene - but our developers have been hard at work recently building out a feature to officially support Challenges on Speedrun.com! Currently, these challenges are created internally, but our long-term aim is to enable Speedrun.com users to create their challenges, with or without prize pools. A Challenge leaderboard functions similarly to the regular leaderboards you're already familiar with. However, we've made a few layout adjustments to cater to the time-sensitive nature of challenges and the inclusion of prize pools.

We are aiming to avoid any undue pressure on the Ghostrunner 2 moderation team - so to ensure a smooth process, all runs submitted to the challenge leaderboard will be screened and verified by either SRC staff or Ghostrunner 2 moderation team members *volunteering for the challenge specifically*. After the challenge concludes, SRC staff will collaborate with the Ghostrunner 2 moderation team to discuss the potential merging of challenge runs into the regular leaderboard once the moratorium period expires, respecting the mod team's preferences

## Preparation Suggestions

To follow the challenge and find tips & tricks for the speedrun, visit [the Ghostrunner 2 Challenge leaderboard right here on Speedrun.com](/challenges/42ymr396-Ghostrunner_2-blood-will-run-10-000-challenge) and the [GRSR Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/gYGgtzC5s2)

## Some Advice

The challenge lasts for two weeks, which may sound short, but it's ample time. I recommend taking your time for your first playthrough, focusing on learning the game's movement and practicing sections before diving into full runs. The fiercest competition for the top three spots typically emerges in the final week or even the last few days of the challenge, so there's really no need to rush through your initial playthrough.

Good luck, and have fun Ghostrunners!️

Speedrun is excited to host our first challenge featuring Ghostrunner 2 Any% with $10,000 in prize money on the line. Do you have what it takes to save Dharma in record setting time?

Welcome to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Speedrun Page!

Unfortuntely due to a recent patch, a debate around downpatching has appeared causing ongoing conversation around whether to allow it or not.

So I ask for a few more days for the boards to go live
