I don't have any plans in touching garden for a while as I want to take a vacation from speedruns and focus on lowman content first.

00:00 Entrance 4:20 Conflux 10:50 Oracles 15:05 Templar 21:50 Gorgon Maze 25:50 Gatekeeper 32:20 Atheon[WR] Garden of Salvation in 11:01 by AscendExblack2021-05-13 | Sadly we did not manage to get the sub11 in Season of the Chosen but this was our best run at the end of the season. It appears that bungie did not touch anything in the raid, so we will most likely come back to this in a few weeks after the VoG Day1 race.
Teammate PoVs: Seanie: youtu.be/FOm8F71duMo Antivist: youtu.be/rjLi4wCi9x8[WR | PB] Garden of Salvation in 11:15 by AscendExblack2021-03-03 | We are still grinding for the sub11, if you want to catch the grind live then you can do so on twitch.
This run was pretty solid, sadly our subsides weren't as good as they could've been. We also lost atleast 4 seconds in the ending, which was rather unfortunate. Bungie if you read this can you please make the first angelic consistantly spawn fast?
twitch.tv/exblack_ twitter.com/ExBlack_AscendFormer [WR | PB] Garden of Salvation in 11:29 by AscendExblack2021-02-09 | Hopefully this won't be our PB for to long, theres alot of easy timesave in this run, which we hopefully will fix in our next runs. If you are interested in watching the progress to sub11 live then you should check out my twitch.
Hunter PoV: youtu.be/s2-qzKxMhAs3man CONTEST Deep Stone CryptExblack2020-12-19 | This challenge was mostly rather easy since the encounters had so much breathing room & the rooms you needed to do things in were rather small. The only encounter which was abit stressful was the final encounter in its combination of ammo rng & captain management. We eventualy found a system that worked well for us & completed the entire challenge with just under 5 hours.
Definitly was a overall fun challenge to complete tho, bungie please give contest so I don't have to have a headach setting up for these challenges x.x

twitter.com/ExBlack_Ascend3man flawless DSC w/ crushty & MonksExblack2020-12-08 | This was quite a fun challenge to complete, there are still more challenges in this new raid that I'm interested to complete & you'll see the upload here if I manage to complete them!

I'm not happy with this Day1 result & will definitly try to improve our placement for the next one.

When we picked the run up again, the WR was already 12:28, I'm happy that we managed to cut 28seconds of it. There's still room for improvement, but this will probably stay our PB for a while, since we'll be busy playing BL & then hopefully speedrun Deepstone Crypt!
GGs to the team for grinding this out!

We'll be going for a "flawless" contest GoS run. (There's a unavoidable death in the first encounter unless you kick someone, we might do it without the kicking)
I didn't want to bother with optimizing the run to much but I also didn't want to play it super safe and layed back so you'll see me play it pretty risky overall.

Thanks mem3e for the thumbnail!
Watch runs/challenges live at twitch.tv/exblack_ Twitter: twitter.com/ExBlack_AscendAny% Leviathan PB - 15:47 by AscendExblack2019-11-18 | Leviathan has a diffrent encounter Order every week, once every 6 weeks it is the perfect order to speedrun it in for the faster transitions between the encounters. This is often refered as "Levi week" in the speedrun community.
Sub16 was a goal of mine for a few levi weeks now, there are new strats that we haven't used because we had new runners with us, I'm proud of them.
-- Watch live at twitch.tv/exblack_ Twitter: twitter.com/ExBlack_AscendSolo Pit of Heresy 13:15 PBExblack2019-11-09 | GGs to treezy who held the former WR with 13:40. My current Sum of Best is 12:33 so this run can definitly still go lower, but we'll have to wait and grind it out. I will take a break from speedrunning solo Pit for a few days and might either run it back when someone beats the time or when I have the urge to run again.
This is alot of fun to run so I will be running this whenever I have time and hopefully push it down to my Sum of Best next!
Twitter: twitter.com/ExBlack_Ascend Watch live at twitch.tv/exblack_2man Sanctified Mind w/ tcibzExblack2019-10-26 | Took me abit to get around doing this but now I finally have it done! Thanks to my partner tcibz (one of our new clan members) to join me on this journey.
We found a few things that were weird with this 2man, for example the position where the boss will stand when he opens up for the DPS tether. If you stack the Platform-despawn animation from the boss ontop of him going to walk infront and setup the DPS tether he will skip the walking part and just put the DPS tether super far back causing you to wipe.
He will also have a splitsecond where he takes aggro to one of the players (Usualy the player in the boss room) so what we tried to do is stand in between the two Confluxes/Relays to have him stand as close to the two Confluxes/Relays as possible.
Was loads of fun to do this, will probably run this back and do some more challenges with this raid or go back to the old lowmans and complete them again!

Watch the final ~5minutes!
Sadly since this is pulled from my Twitchvods & I ran some copyrighted music on them the Stream was muted for some of the passages that I have managed to clear the rooms in. I hope you guys dont mind that much / just skip over them. Incase you don't have much time on your hand go ahead and watch the final 5 minutes of the video, I kinda found it funny and it was the reason why I wanted to upload this!
Rules:
No Gun shooting No Sword Blocking
Sword Swipes (for movement only) allowed Supers allowed Grenades allowed Melee allowed Class Ability allowed
GGs to my team and to everyone running this, still can't believe that we have gotten this! We have been working hard on this! We've been on that Day1 grind together with Ascend since we got founded back in Forsaken. It was a month before Scourge of the Past dropped where we placed 4th. On our second raid Crown of Sorrow we placed 9th. GGs to both of our Teammates back then and GGs to the Teammates that returned to Garden of Salvations Day 1!
We mainly practiced by just doing low LL raids, we completed 350 LL SoS multiple times , 720 LL CoS and 550 LL Riven... All those practice sessions have made us understand the game way better then we did before since we learned how to survive and take advantage of everything we have at our disposal. I really hope Bungie will make Contest an Option for EVERY Raid so that more Teams can efficiently practice for Day 1 races! Since all our Items got infused to 750 LL and we have the artifact it is impossible to go ahead and do low LL raids :(

Zero hour is a very hectic speedrun, this run can be optimized and will be optimized further by us in the coming days. We ll first lay our eyes on the Whisper mission tho!
The timer starts when the first input is made by a player & stops when the ingame timer stops. I sadly failed to stop it at the exact time when the ingame timer stopped since for most things the speedrun community uses Mission complete, so it was a little weird for me to pause it.

Whisper is really fun to speedrun, I might even give solo whisper a shot but I don't want to ruin monks 3 WR's in every whisper category. We will be working on an even better time in the near future so look forward to that but for now enjoy the video!

I have never done Prestige Calus before but it was honestly alot of fun! Its quite challenging but thanks to high Damage from 150 GLs w/ Spike & Mountaintop the damage was high enough even with just 75 stacks.
Thanks Faldo for this challenge!Crown of Sorrow PB 11:55 by AscendExblack2019-06-26 | After a somewhat long break off speedrunning we came back to speedrunning and PB'd with 11:55 and we are happy with that time for now and will grind out the WR soonTM!

Huge shoutout to my teammembers with whom we tested plenty of stuff together with and shoutout to the Speedrun Panel Discord for sharing and brainstorming strategies! We currently have a 15:01 Sum of Best and we believe 14:30 might be possible with current strats! Once we don't have to wipe for the final boss, the run will be 30 seconds slower aswell! There is currently a bug where the Vessels dont respawn if you go directly from Phase 1 to Phase 2 :(
Follow me on Twitter - twitter.com/ExBlack_Ascend Twitch - twitch.tv/exblack_17:09 Leviathan No Leave/Join WR - with Ascend / Euros / Be BoldExblack2019-06-04 | To support the "No Leave/Join" category we decided to run it with two members of Euros (Wami / Holly1Kenobe) & a member of Be Bold (Millax). After just ~5h of runs we got this time in, we believe that the current Any% WR can be broken in this category but it might take some more practice. Sadly since Leviathan is only around every 6 weeks we will have to wait till its around again.
Got alot of the challenges done which I wanted to do before Whisper nerf and I really hope that Crown of Sorrow will bring much more challenges to the game!
We were working on a diffrent challenge but decided to go with the 3x Break kill because we got triple void on void side - which was the perfect RNG for 3x Break kill!
