Massachusetts, USAIn light of this game picking up in activity, I went ahead and made a discord for folks to join. https://discord.gg/hwuUbpdThc I can add channels and any other suggestions as this moves along.
Not sure if these have been found, I noticed a couple Atrium of Greed skips in the other thread, this method should be faster.
And I managed to find this skip to the first encounter of Wrath.
I'll be looking for more if I find anything I'll add it.
Hey Zimmy, or anyone else, I just had some questions for this game. I have been thinking of picking it up as a speed run potentially, but I also noticed the game is getting a re-release in about a week, so I have been holding off until the newer release drops.
However, I was curious if there was notes for the run, (if not that's ok, things may change, and/or I can just watch the run and make my own) and also I did skip around the vod a few times and noticed you spend a little over an hour farming and creating items, and was wondering if this is really needed? I notice this game requires elements to use certain abilities, so I assume you seem to use fire based attacks in the late/end game.
Does not doing the farm simply make it slower? Is the trade off better to not farm, even if fights take longer, would it still be faster than doing the farm to make them faster?
Or is it more of a risk you will die, and enemies are too hard at the point?
All in all I hope new life comes into this game, I noticed some negative reviews around it, and I hope people look into it more with the re-release, thanks!
Hey all, I went ahead and made a discord server for us, if the link has any issues, let me know.
I figured this would be a good spot to ask questions as well. I wanted to throw this out to 6oliath, EagleLiver, Susan or anybody who knows about KOA in general.
I am wondering if there are places to find rare or unique weapons just like Kellerac's sword. I tried looking up daggers and a lot of information was not clear, or many said you can find things as random drops from chests or enemies, which cannot be relied on for a speed run.
The other question is mostly in relation to the dagger route, if we could craft or simply purchase better daggers instead of crafting the Fine Azurite ones?
We want the best stats/results, and we only use 3 daggers overall in the route.. though I am wondering for that early to mid-game range if there is a better option anybody is aware of at all?
Thanks! :)
So I notice the runs say New Game+? Is there a reason for this, or why you can't run normal Any% vs New Game+? I was thinking of doing some runs for just normal Any%.
I figured we should link these here in case anybody ever wants to pick up IUD, this is a great tutorial to get started.

Hey, I realize there is another thread about Route Planning from 8 months ago, but I wanted to ask if their is any route or strat information for doing a run anywhere? I read about the run being condensed down to 1.5 hours, but I was curious if there was any information on the any% route or routing at all? I am curious to possibly run this game, and I don't mind doing the work myself and watching the current run, but if there is anything anyone can provide it would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if anyone out there pays attention to this forum much, I know Armageddon hasn't gotten really any speed running attention, if at all before I began runs.
So I thought I would ask if anyone knows of any viable skips, out of bounds, sequence breaks and anything that could make the run faster?
I have found a few already, nothing oob, but I've found some sequence breaks and small routing optimizations/skips in certain levels.
Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated, and hopefully people may be inspired to run this game too!
Note: Hey Kotti, I know you're probably the one approving my submissions, would it be possible to add a way to state what system the game is on, since I am using pc, and this game is on 360 and PS3 also, thanks!
