Any tips for speedrunning the forge?

[slendyproject]

My record run was 16:22 and me and my team were thinking about trying to do it even faster than that. Any good tips (we already know about rapid fire)?

The one tip that will save you the most time (4+ minutes) than anything else you do is minimizing how often you let Boarrior sleep. There are two phases/strategies to this. First one is easy, second one is hard

During the first phase (From boarrior spawn until he spawns pigs), your team is never in a critical need to make the Boarrior sleep if your tank and woodie are timing their specials well enough where you're interrupting Boarrior's attacks. Therefore you can go without letting Boarrior sleep and heal up while attacking him.

During the second phase, after you have defeated the pigs, the woodie keeps a distance from boarilla, and constantly throws lucy to interrupt Boarrior's attacks, and keep aggro. The rest of the team basically keep attacking Boarrior while making sure they're doing nothing to steal aggro. IIRC, the Woodie wears the marble suit (or the new 90% armor if it drops), and the speedhat (or wreath if it drops) that allows him to dodge the fissures, by running to either side (sometimes you might still get hit by the first part of the fissure). This will require a lot of practice, but when mastered you will kill Boarrior without ever needing to put him to sleep. Until mastery you can alternate heals from team to Woodie, or let Boarrior sleep some.

There was a video posted last year on this forum by a speedrunning team that demonstrated this strategy. You might be able to find it on youtube still unless it was taken off.

*Use both multishot (multi targeting) along with rapidfire (only works with staff). A strong speedrunning team would be Web, Wolf, Wicker healer, Woodie runner, Willow staff, Wigfrid (uses darts during boarrior)

Press F to win. Easy.

i've done 13:30 with a random team, obv no cheating/anime cancelling involved, post Rhinos; as Faceless said the boarrior part is crucial and you need a really skilled woodie to manage to stop his attacks properly, wich we did have in those games, but me personally i'm not skilled enough for it. However with the swineclops i'm not sure wich would be the fastest way to kill him as i don't get his patterns yet, and also it does not seem possible without healing. But i'm thinking having a wilson to revive and just swiching the tanks on him when they die, so not use the heal to sleep him. Needs testing.
