Grondious | Cagney Carnation in 00:35 - Version 1.1.5 - Lobber/Spread Route @Grondious | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Finally got the 35s! This seriously took a long time to figure out how to optimize it to this point.
Some updates to this strategy over the 36s is the first down+right lobber shot in the air which is slightly better than dashing to the platform.
When he sways towards me I try to time a jump weapon swap to get full spread dps on him for a brief moment.
And my damage boost ending to the fight is just a little cleaner than what I used to do. The lobber EX at the end under him is also double damage but only hits him if he's not in a certain animation (when he is spitting stuff).
The only real tech I discovered that saves time that was not used in this video, is if you get a downward lunge as his 2nd attack you can do a quick jump+down+right lobber ex to actually hit him for double. I think if I got the perfect RNG and had this in the strat it would still be a 35s but just a lower 35s.

This run was done 1-day after the 27:47 lol. Had some awesome Devil luck to help clutch out the PB.

What a journey its been since coming back to the game just with the goal of a sub 28 and ending up taking it all the way down to a 27:4x. This grind in particular has been very mentally draining for me and it was a massive relief to get this goal out of the way that had been kind of haunting me.
This is instantly a Former WR because while this was played on Thursday, I did some more runs Friday to see how the RNG was and got a 27:45 which Ill upload later. Still though, this was the first 27:4x run and meant a lot to me personally, so I wanted to share it with you all and I hope you enjoy!
