Jump King | Beating [Babe] (Challenge Custom Map)
updated
really cool map, am bad at wind lmao
By far the hardest custom map on the progression list (only other contender across existing maps is Babe of Bloodmoon, but that one is a little different). Both Ghost of the Immortal Babe and Babe of Transcension are currently sitting at tier 11, and when this map came out is was said to be tier 12-13, living up to the higher end of that promise. A map that I couldn't end reach halfway after spending 20 hours on it. A map that like GotIB keeps on introducing new gimmicks, but these ones are actually really difficult, and I haven't even shown the crazy ones. After 21 hours of this map, my mind was destroyed from looping areas 1-4 and personally didn't see the point in continuing. I got really close to area 5, but at that point it was going to be endless suffering. Sorry, to those that wanted to see me conquer this map, but I'm really not built for it like some other players are.
Hopefully Cloudy releases a video of his 150 hour progression on this map, but in the meantime you can watch his VODs from live streaming his playthrough on Twitch, and give him all the support you can, because what he did (and everyone else who has beaten this map) is nothing short of incredible.

Atrocious gameplay.
Neat concept and spectacular artwork like usual from my map making GOAT Cloudy.
1 billion likes and I'll grind a perfect run.

Banger map, super cool and creative. A nice switch up in concept and not too devilishly hard to the point of insanity. Struggled in areas 8 and 10 but definitely redeemed myself by clutching up the Final Frontier on the first go (not difficult but nerves were there egging me on to choke on some easy ahh jump), otherwise it would have probably been endless suffering.
Maybe speedrun-able, I'll give it a go but there seems to be a lot of new content coming so look forward to seeing those instead.

Very happy with how I played in Immortal Babe and the ending of Ghost of the Immortal Babe. Immortal Babe+ not so much, but hey, there's always room for ONE MORE RUN, or however many runs it takes to get the ultimate sub 45.
Only rules for this challenge if anyone else ever does this (impossible), the maps must be done on sequential attempts (duh) and must be played in release order.
Don't ask me to speedrun every custom map in a row, I will politely decline (:

After playing on and off all day, I finally got a decent run that will probably become 2nd place overnight. A nice new easy custom map but still plenty of opportunities to rage if you play as stupidly as I do. Assuming this map can reach like a 7:3X if you play riskier, adopt some 2f strats and abuse the snake ring but that probably won't be me. Will still give some more runs a go but not to the extent of keeping up with the TAS.
Baller skip at 6:50

#RiDGYY #JumpKing #Speedrun #WorldRecord
The tournament will be held this weekend and leaderboard positions up to the date will determine seeding and there is a small prize for fastest run before the tournament and an even bigger one for the tournament itself.
Now that I have sub 2:55, it's all about trying to catch the wind cycle earlier, rather than just getting micro PBs from improving my post-wind. Hopefully on the day no one is cranking out sub 2:50s but there are some really good players playing and that'll probably be the norm by then. Just gotta lock in and do my best!

#RiDGYY #JumpKing #JumpKingMadness #CustomMap
This map really feels like it has 1000 different chokepoints with every area having its own annoying and frustrating jumps that got me borderline ready to throw hands at my monitor after playing for 5 hours straight. I initially got comfortable with Ghost Tower but soon realised it was kinda a struggle in my grind. In runs, once I get past this one hell of a jump (9:33), it is game on and I just gotta fluke Yggdrasil and The Olymp and get the dub, which I finally have done.
I would complain about my playstyle causing this grind to take longer than it needed (resetting all the time on bad but not "dead" runs), but I don't think I could've got such a banger time if I had continued on any of those paces. Really I would've been happy with a low 14 minute time but I clutched up the run with my fastest pace into area 4 and possibly my fastest into area 5 (not sure), and now am very happy with myself.
Believe it or not my PB before this record was only an 18:33, not very smart to restart dead runs near the end (i probably needed the practice) but luckily I didn't choke the final two areas very much.
Now I can move onto other things and prepare for Jump King Madness 6 and perhaps do a speedrun of Babe of Exile.

Quick lazy editing because I'm uploading this really late and won't be able to Jump for the next few days. There was more dialogue and another secret I found but best to explore yourself if interested in the lore, if not skip past I know there's a lot.
Such a long map but I spent a good portion of my time stuck with the krills in Krill Kingdom. Water and wind is not a good combo but the real problem is how punishing and slow the area is. I'm sure there are easier ways of doing certain jumps though. I saw the bird at the start and chased it until it found the absolute worst possible position to hide from me.
Last few areas were nice and some really cool surprises made this map fun, I played almost 9 hours today.
The map is receiving updates and balances after some feedback from players so things have changed and will change to make the map better. Not really sure how this map's gonna be speedran, really long and definitely some annoying areas to deal with when trying to go quick. Gooey Grotto has anti snake ring snow, so no cheesing that area :(

I initially was worried about doing Ghost Tower in runs, but that has actually become relatively free and is rather safe. Dimensional Rift/Yggdrasil/The Olymp are all concerns at the moment but hopefully I can just fluke some god run out of thin air.
Sorry about the inconsistent choppy frame rate, don't know what's causing that to occur.

Surprisingly no mistakes on pace past Sanctum, with the early game making up for it in all sorts of embarrassing ways. Most notably trying to optimise the transition into the second last screen of Castle and miserably underjumping it like 20 times and also bonking on the ceiling with the full left after entering the first house in Underburg (many many times).
This run is exactly what I was looking for time-wise, though there are a couple of unideal moments, especially the hesitation in Sanctum and not hitting the fully optimised short jump in Blue Ruin (aiming for the top of the stairs). I can only really imagine going for a sub 5:45 before it would personally feel impossible for me to PB further, so that would be the final goal.
Now I shall be attempting something rather crazy.

#RiDGYY #JumpKing #Speedrun
So many hard jumps in this route, it's not even funny...
Some of the days were left out because I made absolutely no progress :/
For reference, the areas alternate between Extreme/Normal and the first three extreme areas are fully submerged in water but not the last.
Sorry for the "slow" start, but area 1 helps explain the idea of the map and the route that I am taking. Knowing what this was like on release makes me all the more happier that I took my time on beating the main route and didn't rush into this right after. Initially, falling in extreme area 1 (Fabricated Depths), you would need to exit back into Crystal Den before being able to attempt Fabricated Depths again. Also, if you've watched my clear on the normal route, you'll know that the fall from the second half of Lavender Hall and upwards was nerfed. This felt necessary for even the normal route, so for the extreme route it would've actually felt impossible if every fall would lead straight to the top of Taiga.
Would've been very interesting if Psychedelic Ruin actually had functioning switch blocks because without them it was definitely the easiest extreme area. Lavender Hall felt impossible at the time but that's because the 2 recoveries are super tough and I was being stupid and wasted hours on one of the screens before resorting to help (only on that one screen - second one before the end). The bird obviously took up a lot of my time and especially in Holo Constructs with that outside spot that I had no idea how to get to, basically throwing myself at it until a later day where I realised what I was trying to do was actually impossible.
This is still more to this map, but not really the kinda stuff that I'd ever properly make the effort to attempt. Very proud of myself for sticking through with this, the biggest roadblock wasn't even Lavender Hall, instead it was having the motivation to get through Holo Constructs. Especially with that one double wall bounce jump that felt absurdly hard (6 frame water jump ainnoway).

Okay New Babe+ run (epic chimney recovery and very close catch).
Awesome Ghost of the Babe run to secure the sub 17!
MB - 4:37.440
NB+ - 6:27.209
GotB - 5:49.996
Would've been nice to not fall in Black Sanctum and get my first all maps 0 falls run, but that wasn't the main objective here, so it's all good. Massive 73 second PB since my last run from over two years ago, mainly thanks to Ghost. Next time I run this category, I should be aiming for at least a low 16:2X, getting a cycle 0 in main babe and not falling in Black Sanctum or anywhere else in the run.
Waterfall Babe extreme route time!

A map that has been in the works for 2 years and it's finally out. I started playing this on release but had to take a break for a couple of weeks before I was able to continue and beat it yesterday. This map offers a great sense of exploration and mystery and there is still plenty of stuff to uncover, as noted by those cryptic messages. Thankfully the map has had some balancing done to it which honestly helped me beat it, that tower fall used to be absolutely brutal and was part of the reason I didn't play the map for a while.
From here, I want to speedrun this route of the map and then dive into the secrets and explore the rest of the map. All I know is that it's going to be very very hard, but hopefully that shouldn't stop me.
Honestly did not know that I was in the very final parts of the map, was expecting more (but I guess this map makes up for that in "horizontal height").

I plan to leave this run for at least a while but my end goal would be sub 10. I got too much to do now that Waterfall Babe (a map in the works for over 2 years) is finally coming out this weekend and there will be tons of content within that map so stay tuned.
WR because CrazyNeighbour hasn't beat the map and therefore hasn't speedran it yet.

Original/unnerfed version.
I must say that The Tower of Invisibility is not fun, and unfortunately doesn't give you the opportunity to learn the jumps properly before sending you down to Insanity Chamber where the 2 frames destroy you and literally send you into a spiral. However, that feeling of conquering the first tower doesn't go away each time you climb it.
The final loop was pretty fun even though I set a challenge on myself to not use the giant boots in the real tower, The Tower of Frozen Genesis. The giant boots make cancelling on the ice much easier and consistent but of course because everyone else was going for the bird, I had to do at least something else to make this playthrough just that bit harder. Also, I wanted to experience the "natural" or I guess "intended" difficulty.
Now onto speedrunning this map, and it unfortunately won't be on this version, because both towers are going to feel impossible to get consistent at. Also because every other area apart from 1 and 8 have some real awkward jumps that I just don't want to "get good at".
Didn't have the energy to edit the tower grind like I did in the last video and I'm sure it was probably at least 100 more attempts than "The Olymp". Too much work...

First there was Immortal Babe, then there was Immortal Babe+.
And now, Ghost of the Immortal Babe.
I knew going into this map that it would be much harder than Babe of Transcension, because we all knew that Abaddon was cooking up some insane new gimmicks with the help of Zebra and Gotch. Playtesters were beating the map in 30 hours and so everyone in the community knew it was going to be a struggle.
A struggle it was, but the map is really awesome and the only area that I could not stand after a while was area 5. Knowing what I know now, after beating the map and seeing a speedrun of it, it isn't actually all that bad. I'm really excited to attempt to speedrun this map in preparation for the ultimate IB trilogy speedrun.
The final screen was a bit of a puzzle, but the answer was there all along, I was just too stupid to realise at the time that the text at the top of "The Ghost Tower" was indeed referring to the final screen. So yeah
I kind of got confused and completely forgot about it, not even realising until I was completely frustrated with the final screen that I asked for hints in the discord only for it to ultimately basically be "remember the text". After that it was pretty obvious, the only part I should have been slightly confused about was interpreting what the text was saying about the second jump.
I did not expect my mic be so quiet in the recordings compared to the music, so that's why I decided to add in subtitles for the parts where I want people to know what I'm saying/thinking. Doesn't help that I got a new PC and didn't really check mic/music volumes before jumping into this grind, but that's alright.

Definitely felt hard to find the motivation to start this grind, but it also was a struggle throughout to keep going at certain points. Some days I'd play for at most an hour and then not play for over half a week. However the goal simply being sub 30, I knew it was not impossible to achieve, and actually quite feasible when I started to get low 20 minute times into the tower. I did not really expect to get it today though, so I was super relieved and can now focus on the @duckboxing "Babe of the Duck" speedrun challenge. After that I will move onto New Babe+ for a better negative cycle time.
Thought it would be a good idea to put my PB time in the corner, especially since this is my first uploaded speedrun of the map. I will probably add them in for future runs, even in categories I've already done.

#RiDGYY #JumpKing #Speedrun
The hardest parts of this run are the ledges in Manor, Bugstalk and Phantom Tower, with the hardest definitely being the Phantom ones due to the falls that missing them cause and the fact that the area has 2 of them. I never felt that I was consistently getting these last two ledges down and kept hoping that I would just land them, luckily in this case I did with no hassle. Halted is also pretty difficult as you can see in this run, however, this is actually only my second completion of boots + ring on this map, so I never had much practice at all on it and am also not too familiar with the recoveries.
If i were to come back to this category I would aim for a 10-11 minute time. Also, I normally play with in-game music on but I kinda liked the peacefulness for once, especially whilst grinding out Manor.

Definitely my fastest pace into Crimson Rupture which helped absolutely demolish my PB despite that fall in Lost Sanctum. After falling, I went for that risky strat in Crimson by entering Sanctum on the left. The risk with this is that if you fail the 2f, you fall much further through Crimson which is why I tend not to do that.
Now I shall fulfil the rest of my promise and tackle Ghost of the Babe with Boots + Ring (but actually speedrun it).

This time I went mostly all out on new strats which is the reason this is so fast despite making mistakes early on in Bog and Manor. Also, my last PB was July 2022, so I'd like to think I'm naturally much better than what I was back then. Will definitely come back to this eventually as I see lots of room for improvement but could be in another 22 months time lmao.

Came back to this map with a bang. Had high expectations of myself from the beginning when I PB'd with minimal effort and knew I could get a really great time. Since the transition from JK+ to the Steam workshop, there have been a few small changes to the map, but nothing that really changes the difficulty (tower remains untouched - except for an extra slope at 9:42).
I say at the end that I might not be able to beat this, but the run isn't perfect and of course I pause a lot in the tower. It definitely is beatable, but personally at this current point in time it's not worth pursuing a faster run.

*0 unintentional falls, played on v1.01.
Only differences between the original release and the new workshop one is that there is an extra tile on the ledge jump in "The Well" and the low gravity walking speed is no longer faster than the normal walking speed.
A few more skips executed in this run, with more to come in my final run. For my next and final run, I'm going for top 3 and 3rd place is a 7:55. Very much doable when you understand that this run was actually very slow (for a top level standard) in movement, but I didn't make any costly mistakes like normal and utilised many more skips. Tower was particularly slow, so I need to work on my nerve control, but it was fine for this run because I wasn't aiming for sub 8 (got very close tho).
Fails at the end. Enjoy!

This map is awesome and boots + ring felt like the perfect challenge to attempt and conquer and so I did just that. I will speedrun in the future and maybe attempt the challenge area with boots + ring, but there seems to be a lot of maps on the horizon so stay tuned! I definitely recommend playing this map, it isn't too hard (with boots + ring it is) and there are plenty of secrets to find (ORB!).
Also, the babe art after the credits is the New Babe+ babe art because I'm wearing the giant boots. Seems to be a mistake on the creator's end.

#RiDGYY #JumpKing #Challenge
The day has come, I have finally beaten Taken's 4:17.754 speedrun from 3 years ago. I initially thought I never would as at the time I wasn't skilled enough and I started drifting away exploring the new and exciting custom maps. But I felt it was about time I did this as I knew I had gotten better and better and custom map releases had been slow.
For the longest time Fast Chapel Entry was a mental roadblock because I never knew of a consistent setup for it (I tried creating my own, but that didn't stick). Luckily there is one now (I'm not sure when it was discovered), but with it you really only have to get the timing at the very start and very end correct and so it's not too bad.
I will come back eventually, just had to get this run in before the influx of custom maps on the way. Also, I don't think I'm running Babe of Transcension, I'm simply just not motivated for that length and difficulty of a speedrun.
2 very sad chapel fails at the end.

I really pushed myself to beat this because I wanted to upload something before Waterfall Babe comes out and because I needed to prove that I could stick to a challenge map and beat it. I've given up on most other challenge maps because there is this sort of bias to the so-called "polished" custom maps, that with (many of) these challenges, finding the motivation to grind them out is very difficult. This is especially the case when some are just too extreme in difficulty, but something about this map wanted me to keep on going.
Personally area 1 was really annoying, area 2 was slow and a little boring, area 3 was fun and area 4 was just straight hard (4th jump is a 1f).
Should also add that I didn't use giant boots and only used snake ring for that one drop down in the tower.

Took a while, but it's finally here. Babe of Transcension is the game's first true collab map with 5 main creators, which is awesome. The map is very long and very hard and the tower is truly next level, but I had a good time grinding it out over the past week.
The day after I started playing this, the Jump King Workshop Update came out and it auto-updated, deleting my first save in the process. While playing this map on a later date, my power tripped, and I lost my save again. This was pretty much a blind playthrough except for a strat in area 6 and two jumps in the tower.
This map has two challenge areas, the first featured at the end of the video. The second one (which I won't be playing) is the most insane Jump King gameplay you will ever see in your life (fr fr). Jump King quirkiness to the extreme (will have to share a save stated playthrough of it at some point, because it is truly insane - and not possible without save states). It's kinda like Circus but more technical.
All those alternate paths you see in the video are for the bird, which many other players decided to take, and they are truly insane. After the tower, you gotta do a whole area just for the bird and each fail requires another tower climb. If I chased the bird it woulda taken over 30 hours, probably 35 to be honest.

This is seriously a really stunning and innovative challenge map that kept me playing Jump King for over 8 hours across mostly the past two days (which I haven't done in a while). I had to lower that keyboard slam on babe jump fail 2 by 20 decibels, it was pretty loud. Also, plus 15 minutes onto final time.
Basically the tower has two routes and each time you warp across the screen they change. Pretty clever (and brutal) gameplay in this challenge map, which I definitely consider to be the best out of all challenge maps out thus far.
If you want to see an alternative route near the top, here is a VOD of another Jump King player geek_wave beating it (timestamp - 7:40:50)

The atmosphere and vibe of this map was really cool, and it isn't that hard or punishing. I struggled the most with the poolrooms and ice areas but after that it was fun. This kinda feels like Babe of Ascension in a way, which is cool and the story/lore was a nice inclusion.
Will try speedrunning this in the next few days after of course finding strats and familiarising myself better with the harder areas.
He didn't make it out alive :(

The jumps I really had to be careful with towards the end of the map are at 8:00, 10:28 and 11:07 (it's a 1 framer but you can undershoot it without penalty).
I don't see myself running this map anymore even though a low 10 minute time is very much possible. Also, I don't know what's next, but whatever it is, it won't be in another 2 months time from now.

Good challenge map, especially because it's just Babe of Inferno made a little bit different to spark enjoyment for it once again. Overall, not too punishing, just the only thing is that there are a few sections that are quite tricky to figure out where to go.
I really thought I had to beat Reverse Rinfone to continue but that doesn't even make sense because there'd be nowhere for you to exit other than the entrance if anything. What didn't help was that I thought that that one platform I couldn't get on was a slope, with me believing I had to skip that platform entirely to pass.
I'd love to see other maps like this, especially Immortal Babe or Babe of the Heavens.
Oh and sorry if the editing seems rather "slow", sometimes it's hard to work out a pace that the video should be at and whether or not to include certain things.

Speaking of that area, I've had to downgrade versions by playing on the low props (low animations) version. In the original, The Mire of Ecstasy is a really stunning area, but due to the heavy use of props, it was crashing the game for some people, so a low props version was made to remove all props from there and The True Tower of Light (that one video I made two weeks ago) to stop the game from crashing. My game worked originally when I first played the map but one day it just stopped working unfortunately.
The Tower Gauntlet may be next, who knows...

You can find this area on the screen before area 4 (The Chaos), hidden in the ceiling (neutral up to it) of the bird section with all the purple platforms in the bottom left hand corner.

You can find this area on screen 6 of area 1 in the wall to the right on the purple bird platform.
This took nearly 8 hours, I could've fluked the ending and finished in 4. It was misery, but I'm so glad it's done and can now move on to the other 2 hidden areas. Using the snake ring and/or giant boots would've helped slightly, but I set out from the start to do this area itemless, so yeah.
As you can see, my process of eliminating what works and what doesn't isn't very good. This is particularly for the low gravity screen (the one with the green background) and the final screen. I would constantly change strategies and have no clue what ways are actually possible because this challenge area is so brutal that you can't just get back to the same spot as you please. Each attempt is very valuable and so wasting them is a huge punch to the gut.

Really loved this map. Really cool areas, music and animation. Shame that there were crash issues caused by the props (animations), but I'm glad that didn't occur on my end.
I would say this is perhaps overall harder than Babe of Dimension, but has better balancing, especially in the endgame loop. Three hidden areas, one each in areas 1, 2 and 3, so I'll get started with that now. Gonna need to do some stratfinding and practice before I even think to attempt speedruns.

This is not so much a guide, as it is more a showcase of skips and setups that I was able to find, also meaning that this isn't everything as I'm sure I overlooked some stuff here and there. On top of that, some of these skips require tight positioning or timing, so you won't be able to easily replicate some of these for the sake of beating this mode.
Only really going into full jump skips and not silly one/two framers (accidentally left at least one in). Also didn't include many examples of new full jump transition variations where you may just bonk on the roof and land on the same platform.
I was going to complete Ghost of the Babe but I fell out of Phantom on the left hand side and failed the Cats recovery and then just couldn't be bothered to get back to just fail miserably on Phantom.
Good luck if you ever fall into bog (high gravity also) because I ain't show no strats for it (:
Lemme know your favourite skips because I'm really proud of myself for being able to find some of these.

Big 6h+ grind today for this run. Really wanted to get it done and knew that if I just kept on playing, I would get it. Really goofy mistakes and hella background noise that I was oblivious to throughout the run, sorry about that. However, I'd much rather keep my microphone on throughout then to have just game audio in my runs.
I feel like I should go for the world record. It'd still be another huge grind, but I've definitely seen that I'm capable of it after all the attempts I've churned out today.
In the meantime, I have some other, more urgent goals to achieve.

Only thing I couldn't figure out by myself was the portal gimmick on screen 1. Learning what to do on screen 1 from the help of others made me realise how to do screen 3 by myself. Much more enjoyable and less of a joke than kz_null (youtu.be/B2l2lfwp3e0).
A 12 minute time on Babe of Redemption would be nice, so I'll push for that next.

Now I will get to playing the secret area.
I should probably have my microphone further away from my face so that the video is not full of random breathing.

Apart from really only area 5 (which I got hardstuck in), I enjoyed this map and had a fun time grinding it out today. Really dug the visuals especially in the final two areas.
I was playing with percentage on towards the end but realised when I reached the final screen that it was broken. I wasn't incredibly nervous towards the end, because I figured that (partially due to the skips I had managed to find) it wouldn't be terribly hard to get up again if I had failed. Nice 1f babe jump with apparently subpixels allowing either 2 frames or even 0, glad I managed to do it first go.
Secret area "kz_valid" clear next. Heard it is easier than "kz_null" so that is great.
Reached Each Area After:
Unused Prelude - 0m
Chemical Powerplant - 9m
Neon Fractal World - 29m
Woods of Sorrow - 35m
The Eternal Winter - 43m
Control Matrix - 1h27m
Containment Breach - 1h56m
Neon Grid World - 2h26m
Needle Void - 2h43m
Tower of Dissociation - 3h05m

I had delayed playing this for a couple of days because I was almost dreading the grind for it. However, I lucked out and got this. I knew my last run had enough mistakes that I could still mess up a bit during this run and still beat it, but I had no idea if I was on pace or not until I got towards the end of second to last area.
Don't really wanna play this unless someone beats it, this could've taken days, maybe even a week. Very surprised and very happy (:

Windowless and sewer skip-less as a nice touch. I was being kinda stupid, grinding out no sewer skip but doing window because I didn't like doing sewer skip, but honestly it isn't that bad and I just wanted to feel like my runs were getting somewhere instead of me resetting in area 2 more often than I should have been.
Fails at the end.

While this was painful, I'm still happy to run this again in the future, but for now, this is great. There are still new strategies to whip out if needed, but a lot can be done by simply playing better. I don't really expect this to last for a long time as there has been some strong activity for this map recently, also talk of newcomers swooping in to take the record, so we'll see what happens.
Funny (absolutely depressing) fails at the end, enjoy (:
