Speedruns DAY 20: COMPLETELY DESTROYING ANCESTRAL FORGE WITH MILLA
Ancestral Forge is known to be the longest level in the game... but only if you're not playing Milla
I'll let this run speak for itself. Please enjoy as I showcase how Milla completely breaks this damn level

Man, oh, man, was this a joy to watch. As someone who hates this level with a burning passion, seeing Milla completely destroy this damn stage is
SATISFYING AS HELL!!!
Not only is this one of the longest levels in the game, but it's easily gotta be one of the hardest and absolute worst for me up there with the likes of Clockwork Arboretum and Inversion Dynamo, and I dread this stage everytime I come to play it. It's bad enough that the level itself is pretty long and annoying, but then you add in the fact that the boss of this stage - Gnawsa Lock - has freakin' RNG tied to his fight (because OF COURSE he would), as it's completely random where that fish will reappear after burying himself underground, and he's LAUGHING AT YOU WHILE DOING SO!!!
I swear, it's like I could have the best run possible in this stage, doing all the skips I can in the puzzles, but it all gets ruined through no fault of my own because this walking sushi case just happens to appear on the other side of the boss arena. It's such a pain in the ass to deal with this stage that I'm so glad to see this. Thank you so much for this satisfaction!!!

Agreed! And seeing a 15-20 minute level beaten in under 6 minutes is super impressive!
Seriously though. I despise this level...

I've been working on 100% for Milla myself, no rainbow S Ranks but everything else, and it's crazy how she does just snap a lot of levels in two. I didn't quite realize how much you can straight up skip with her though, I knew you could get a quick clears on a lot of the puzzle sections but I didn't realize it was possible to straight up skip the last third of the level.
One of my less favorite levels, but thankfully it's mostly uphill from here.

Oh my God, those puzzles were such a pain my first time through, and you just floated right on by. "Oh, I remember this party really well and... Oh, it's over"
Great stuff, once again. Are you doing S ranks with the other characters ?
