Hello hello, for the Hard Mode All Quests speedrun on a Fresh File, is it necessary to start from a fresh file and beat all normal quests as part of the run? Or do we just not use any heirlooms or the like?

Hear me out: a category for fulfilling the requirements of all achievements as quickly as possible. This includes the fast tutorial, the one-hour game of chess, the 8 player light show, the 1000 table flips, the three legitimate workshop items, and also playing the game for 1000 hours.

I see no issues with this category and it definitely isn't a horrible idea.

I don't know where to put this issue, but I figured here would be the best place.

I use OBS to stream games, which works for nearly every game I own, N++ being one of the very few exceptions. Once I started getting into running the game, I wanted to find a way to stream or record my runs so I could actually submit them. I've downloaded a few other recording/streaming devices such as XSplit, and none of them seem to work. The game always crashes every time I start streaming or recording. This leads me to believe that N++ is the issue. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm somewhat new to the speedrunning community and found this game a good place to start. I'm going to document my findings here.

1. It's around 13 seconds faster to exit and reload the game when inserting a Rune into a Stone.

2. You are able to teleport between Stones you have visited, even if you have not inserted the Rune. This paired with the exiting strategy makes getting the 2nd and 3rd runes in their correct places much faster.

3. No fall damage. If we figure out how to angle our jumps, we can easily fall from the top of the map to the bottom without having to retread the ground we just cleared to get there.

With this information, my current route is as follows:

Map for reference and colors (Credit to StarOfDoom):

1. Get the Red Rune on the way to the Red Stone. Activate, quit and reload to skip the cutscene.
2. Get the Blue Rune, then visit the Green Stone.
3. Get the Green Rune, and continue up to the Blue Stone. Activate, quit and reload.
4. Use the Blue Stone to teleport back to the Green Stone. Insert the Green Rune, quit and reload.
5. Teleport back up to the Blue Stone and continue to the right, picking up the Pink Rune along the way.
6. Go up to visit the Yellow Stone, and then get the Light Blue Rune.
7. Continue to the left, pick up the Yellow Rune, and activate the Light Blue Stone. Quit and reload.
8. Teleport to the Yellow Stone and activate it. Quit and reload.
9. Fall down to the Pink Stone and activate it. Quit and reload.
10. Open the center door, and interact with the final god.

Update: If you quit and reload t0o quickly (i.e. pressing quit multiple times which works for some reason), there is a chance you will be spawned in the top left corner, outside the edge of the map, unable to enter. If we can find a way to break back through the barrier, we can essentially teleport to the top of the map, allowing easy access to the Yellow Rune and Light Blue Gate.
