I Died 4,079 Times Attempting This Challenge

Celeste is [Music] [Applause] phenomenal the diverse mechanics of each chapter the provocation of the b-sides and the tightly focused challenges of the seasides it's a game that's become one of my proudest accomplishments and a little while after I got every achievement in the game I found out about two achievements that the XBox doesn't have a few times you might even say I couldn't stop finding out about them I'm of course talking about chapter nine otherwise known as farewell and the secret one-of-a-kind collectible the moon bearing farewell opens to a grim scene the old lady is incredibly dead and battling is telling us how much we suck for not going to the funeral the only thing that could save this mood is if a bird were to land on her tombstone and squawk in my face after that only one thing crossed Madeline's mind I gotta catch this bird in order to do that though we have to play on its home turf above Celeste Mountain passing through the clouds all the way up until I reach the stars and up here there's a few things you should know first battling out so we're stuck with only one dash this chapter is also going to be expecting every bit of advanced movement Tech that the game has taught me so far and the third thing to note this is a big one I haven't played in three months oh that's not correct at all I sure hope this isn't the hardest thing I've ever done first screen of the chapter and we've already got something new no not the berry but this purple thing it's like those green Dash charges all throughout the game except you get a Double Dash instead guess I didn't need you after all battling I moved through the next few rooms slowly improving as I got back into the groove of things clutching it out here hell yeah brother everything was going well right up until this room it's pretty simple in concept navigate the springs and falling platforms all the way to the other side the problem is when you get to the other side you'll realize that you need to carry both of these dashes all the way through I was pretty sure I knew what the correct route was but I just couldn't figure out this third spring baffled I'm I'm baffled no matter what I did I couldn't hit the spring without using a dash I ended up bashing my head against the wall for like 20 minutes before I swallowed my pride and watched someone else do it how do you do that he did exactly what I tried to do how do you is there a way to fall faster you can hold down to fall faster yeah turns out you can and it's called fastball who would have thought if you hold down while falling Madeline will bend the space around her just to fall faster off it's okay it's okay I understand it now I get it see got it and I'm good at the game that's what they say about me you can see her like like tilt up I love that oh you Dash into the spring and get slightly faster oh Jesus titty Christ okay I continued running through the chapter and on my journey I found a fishy friend these guys are really cool you can bounce on them from the top kind of like a spring but when you do they'll drop down making them useful for future parts of the same section and if you come at them from the sides instead of the top what a funky little guy we're a little early but I think these fish might be my favorite mechanic [Music] that was really lucky I was not planning for that a few more screens down and we get to meet the other rambunctious little rascal of farewell the jellyfish and the jellyfish is cool as hell you can grab onto him and when you jump you'll drift down much slower the same way umbrellas work in real life don't believe me climb on your roof and give it a try now why does that make the jellyfish cool as hell okay so he drifts and first of all don't ever disrespect him like that he's perfect second I'm getting there in this room the chapter really starts to open up once you step in five locks appear and a red bubble just above your head a simple challenge collect five Keys the main room is a jumbled mess to navigate hidden Roots electricity everywhere even collecting things just to use it on another screen but this big screen is here for a good reason to give you the tools needed to get through this chapter the first big thing is power boxes Dash into them twice and all the electricity in the area will disappear at least now it's easy to run around which is good because we'll need to go into five side rooms for those five keys this room teaches you how to be sick with it with the jellies there it is that's a spike not grass throwing it against the wall and then dashing towards the jelly when you grab it gives you some nice momentum one down this room teaches you a similar lesson about jellies except you use it for a horizontal boost two down the next one I did is found on the very top left of the room I'm pretty sure they wanted you to do this close to last and it shows oh oh I did it out of order the second time well I'm Gonna Save myself for death how about that second time is so much hard [Laughter] well that's unfortunate with a little practice though I was able to nail the timing marvelous three down this one lets you know that jellies are impervious to the hazards that would kill you while also teaching you the concept of leaving the jellyfish and reuniting on the other side four down and now we're cleaning it up with number five oh Jesus Christ I got so confused just looking at the layout of the level I have no idea what to do oh good lord man Jesus what was that what a weirdo I forgot how to do everything some of the oh what the yeah that was cool let's do that again [Music] good now that we've got all five Keys we can make a stylish exit oh there's a platform there you really ruined my moment there's another platform there this sucks after we launch up through the dancing stars beautiful screen by the way we get introduced to probably the biggest problem I had with farewell um [Music] okay a little confused on that oh I did not see the cloud literally did not process the cloud it happened so many times I'd see a new screen and just completely miss an essential part of the route what's with all the in the background get it out of here I'm trying to place a list and I can't bounce it on the clouds if I can't see them okay noticing a lot of uh throw the jellyfish through spikes here loving that that's weird oh a rat holy I was not expecting that oh that was that was nothing I that was none of that was planned outstanding outstanding in a field now this screen is just exceptional it takes all the mechanics you just learned with the five keys and mashes them all together with a couple extra wrenches thrown in for fun it took a lot of specific positioning and a little trial and error but seeing it all come together made it clear that this was going to be one of the better chapters of the game uh-oh Pop Quiz how do you get this key what are you just gonna drop down there and dash back up in Biden's America you gotta bring the fish down to the key and blow it up but it's too far to the left so what you do is you use the platform to scoot it over to the left before bonking it down the second time a little Kaizo boinging and zooming later were already on the last level one more section and it's all over all right throw I immediately it up it's getting goofy got it got it got it snot it even I need to turn left and grab that or I'm going to commit a crime I'm gonna do it oh it did deserve to be the final room of the chapter but still after a few minutes I was able to wrap it up and get the heart oh yeah the bird I have to break your neck with a reminder of what the original goal was I was back on track oh fire I came across an internet cafe conveniently situated at the end of the universe and decided to step in even more conveniently it had something useful to teach me wave dashing the idea is to jump and dash towards the ground at an angle then jump at the end of the dash if done at the right time you'll get a big Booth forward and still have your dash as well this is the normal one but there are so many other kinds of wave dashes there's the wave Dash the vertical wave Dash the standing wave Dash the reverse wave Dash everything you'd ever need and they're all called wave Dash right after learning about it online you'll also be shown how to do it by the shadow of you that's stuck in the static which is a little unsettling one final challenge of two wave dashes and a wall bounce in a row and I was ready to graduate from the tutorial and get to the real chat there's that bird kick his ass suck his toes after the failed attempt Madeleine got so mad that the world started breaking down around her the anger must have fueled me though because I was starting to get a lot better outstanding I'm kind of schmooving right now I'm no longer schmooving those days are behind me hey it's my man scrunkily if everything before the heart was the a side everything after is definitely the B-side they teach you a few new tricks and boom longer Roots using everything you've learned mechanics from multiple chapters going forwards backwards and forward again just to finish one section it's nuts and it's the best this game has to offer throughout the game there were definitely some chapters that were stronger than the others for me but this one blows all of them out of the water oh hold on I'm so stressed out what the I nailed it stop doing that it's such a weird you're a weird person you're weird dude I don't know if I'm gonna get it let's try but that's good oh [Music] chapter eight mechanics not in love with this you're such an stars are cringe stars are so cringe I hate these stars these stars are so annoying they make this whole thing so much worse [Music] oh you're a all right oh okay that was weird a few screens down and we're at what was maybe the most frustrating screen for me the ice room well this just looks miserable I was floating all over the place marching down their predetermined paths and an updraft helping you on your way just getting to the top would be pretty easily managed but you also have to get six keys on the way the first two are nothing to worry about but the others are guarded by a wall of ice balls cringe not only do you have to break through to get the key but you also have to get out and continue climbing and while there is infinite ice down below you only get these five per Circle so if you use them all and then fall oh you're done it's all right we got it we got it we got it even if you manage to get all that done they go ahead and change it up on you at the top instead of ice it's fire so they take your platforms and you have to get in and out in one motion [Music] it happened again this one sucks sucks my ass I did some platforming against the win had a bit of a mishap I wanted to see the level and with the wind at my back blew through the next room the section after had a bunch of wall bounces that definitely didn't take 20 minutes and I finished it up without a problem oh Jesus you're fast I made it though I had a long ride with Kevin a shitty ride through the Stars holy don't you dare I knew you were gonna do that that's so up but luckily all my troubles are behind me oh the cassette room which doesn't have a cassette tape but I don't know what else to call it is garbage all the praise I have for this chapter forget about it for a little bit uh yeah this isn't great cassette rooms never bothered me but there's two things this one does differently it's long and it has four colors not even taking into account that it's the most technically demanding one there is and the whole time I'm dealing with all of this I have to listen to this Salvation Army worker just jingling away in my ear if farewell was the ultimate test of skill this is the ultimate test of mental fortitude playing it with ass and beating it was more bitter than sweet once I beat it I caught the bird wrestled It To The Ground looked it dead in the eye and said this isn't my grandma that might not make sense basically Madeline thought that the bird was to Grandma as badlyn was to her but it's just a bird and this is just a dream now we need to make a daring Escape while freeing the bird which is weird considering we know it's a dream now but whatever I raced through the next few levels with the hell of battling and the bird turning off the power in each room that is unfortunate oh yeah hell yeah brother that was all according to plan baby and with the power of friendship I got to the end and the moment you've all been waiting for farewell the trend holds strong here we're done with the A and B sides time for the seaside it takes almost three minutes for a successful run you can't even see a section of the route and it combines everything you've done so far while also adding a couple new ideas by the way if you're confused why I said we just made it to farewell when that's what the chapter is called this section has the same name bit of a nesting doll situation it starts out pretty simple a jelly Dash into a puffer push but even something this simple is misleading usually it would work the way I wanted to but every now and then this would happen why and that I'm not pressing jump I tried testing all kinds of things to figure out what makes it happen but it ended up just feeling like a 20 chance to die for no reason and if the first obstacle gave me this much trouble I knew I was going to be in for a long ride uh well don't miss him don't miss him up here the electricity turned into a maze narrow corridors tight turns moving hazards and the ever-present risk of smacking into a wall you guys remember that old maze game where when you touch the wall you die oh at least there isn't a jump scare at the end of this one [Music] snake past the two electric balls moving on to the reunion with my arch nemesis stars but they were never an issue for me I don't know if I ever died here through the Minefield of puffer fish I got to the First new idea they have a bit of a truss fall you need to float up as far as you can before throwing your jelly off to the right that unlocks the gate and now that trust fall turns into free fall uh yep I was couldn't have said it better myself okay I've got it in me I don't have it in me why what happened why'd I go sideways I'm the calmest little boy in the sea I'm a little less calm than I once was I have been overtaken someone is more calm than me it's so long it's so long oh I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared that's so up I saved it though it took a long ass time but I got through it all did the last jellyfish jumps and that is farewell done wait what do you mean chapter once you get to the final power box and destroy it you'll want to go to the left instead of the right you're now officially on the moonberry path this might seem scary since you're not in a new room yet and all of your progress is on the line but don't worry the moonberry root gives you a checkpoint bummer well it's it does give you a checkpoint I just didn't get to it yet remember not to up the good news is this section isn't that hard holy the bad news is you're three minutes into the run and you don't want to have to redo all of that again so the pressure can make you play much worse oh my God I was just trying to settle and get off the spring and I just went right into the spike because of that my heart was pounding and my hands were sweating the most out of any section and farewell but again it's not bad wave Dash wall bounce girl boss and you're up to a safe spot before you know it oh God hey that was stressful what the bro this is the checkpoint by the way a little more climbing that's much more precise as well as a bit of stamina management then we go into this room which just feels like the devs going ah and we've actually finally made it the last room of the chapter the moonberry room it goes so high into the air that we can't even see the top so there's no room to strategize until you're in the thick of it let's get going [Music] thank you [Music] oh we get there boys we get there in the end oh there it is it's moonberry clock holy [Music] after a little over 15 hours I finally got there it took a lot of effort but it never really made me that mad and I maintained that it is by far the most well-designed chapter in the game and now it's done how many deaths we got hmm [Music]
