This run has some very unique strategies that enjoyable to watch! Watch here or by clicking on the creation post! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qjuUA4FvV8 Edit: Hard mode does not effect speedruns or even casual runs in year 2. I will list the differences. Abyss: the ogre at the end is a major (omg so spooky changes the difficulty by 10000000x) Bridge: None. Deathsinger: None. Crota: the 2 knights that spawn in on both sides are majors (don't even kill them holy cow so spooky super hard oh my). Crota takes the same amount of damage to kill in both modes. Hard mode has wizards when you kill the boomers (last I checked I didn't kill the boomers). One last point the health difference due to level is nonexistent now. Every major takes 1 raze lighter rt in both. So stop complaining about something that has no effect on the run. Almost forgot the classic one: Hard mode doesn't have a chalice so it's harder, play hard mode noob. So as you can see I din't even pick up the chalice. Anymore excuses? Year 2 gear: The record from year 1 was 11:52. This is equivalent to getting a 10 minute run back then. Yes its faster because of light. But how optimized this run is compared to year 1 runs is off the charts. The wr holder and 2nd place from year 1: Tfue and Scardrow have both done runs in year 2. Theirs times are 8:48 and 9:25. So if I have beat the records from the guys who had it year 1 what does that mean. I'll let you figure that one out on your own. Last point the 6 man current wr is 7:41 and I have done a 8:00 solo now. Thats 19 seconds off. So I'm doing what a fireteam did just 19 seconds slower solo. BTW I'm apart of the fireteam record. Thanks for the great comments but if you don't have any experience with this raid in year 2 and speedrunning don't comment something over your head.
