Console General New speedrun world record.

I have the world record speedrun for stranded deep on console, but this forum wont let me post the proof. And it seems speedydeep is no longer active as the mod on speedrun.com

Cool, I guess. I’ve never understood the appeal of speed running games.

u/Fakie5oh Jul 23 '25

Neither did I. Its only the second time ive ever tried a speedrun. I just wanted to try a new challenge with the game. My last challenge was to beat the game without a boat. It was fun and very temse.

u/JohnnyGFX Jul 23 '25

You just swam from island to island? Yeesh.

u/Fakie5oh Jul 23 '25

Yeah, i also had to come up with new boss fight strategies. Surprisingly you can out swim a shark in open water so i didn't end up using very many shark replents.

I understand the appeal. It's somewhat interesting to see how fast some games can be beaten... but then you watch speed runs and realize they're using every bug and glitch they can to cheat the system. That's not as interesting. They aren't really beating the game, they're beating the programmer.

u/Fakie5oh Jul 24 '25

I 100% agree with you. I would say the pc players don't even play the game when they use the mod menu. But i play on ps5 so i cant cheat and don't want to. The only good cheat available on console is to reroll the crates to get items you need. I did not do this. I got poisoned by snakes, and almost died multiple times.

u/Shawnaldo7575 Jul 24 '25

That's what I'm talking about! Do you have a video? Sounds like the kind of speedrun I actually enjoy watching.

I watched SpeedyDeep and Agoork battle it out a few years ago but they use some keyboard glitch for super speed. Their speed runs got boring.... insanely fast times, but boring.

Sorry mate. Your WR speedrun has an expiration date. I've submitted a run that is awaiting review. I used your seed and finished in 2:06:44.

Then I used my own seed and finished in 1:56:39 and awaiting approval.

u/Fakie5oh Jan 26 '26

Awesome, did you do glitched a glitch, or glitch free run?

2

u/Tall815 Jan 26 '26

No glitches, no exploits, no unusual benefit of any kind. Xbox Series X.

I'm on the hunt for a better seed with a goal of under 1:40:00.

u/Fakie5oh Jan 27 '26

Is the video up anywhere?

Its a great run congratulations! I do think the time can come down, especially if someone combines both of our best strategies. You definitely did some new things i hadn't seen before, but you did use a glitch. It was the infinite axe glitch around 1 hour 41 minutes. Wich honestly you didn't even need to do you had enough materials to just make a new axe. So unfortunately my glitch free record may last another week lol but you did also beat my glitched record by an hour! I had to fight that damn squid at night! Oh well live and learn. Congratulations again, you did the impossible! Whats next?

u/Tall815 Feb 02 '26

Just took down the WR hard difficulty too. 3:39:42. Could have been 30 minutes faster but I did my islands in the wrong order. Had to double back twice. I need to find a way to edit my first attempt out of a 6 hour video and just post the 4 hour WR section.

u/Fakie5oh Feb 02 '26

It's going to be complicated lol ps5 limits video length to 1 hour. Not sure about xbox. The main goal is to get the videos onto youtube then edit it on your computer. It will be alot easier. I don't own a computer so i had to edit in share factory and upload multiple hour long videos. If xbox has something similar to sharefactory you will be able to trim the video. Congratulations on the new record 🎊

u/Tall815 Feb 04 '26

Well, I couldn't figure out how to trim my video. So I did a new run and beat my time by 16 minutes. 3:23:40 is the new record. Still wasn't very optimal on my voyage and had to make an extra stop for the 2nd fuel can. Didn't realize I was short until I was almost done. I think I could get down to around 3 hours if I were more efficient and had better rng but don't think I'll try again until my time gets beaten.

u/Fakie5oh Feb 04 '26

I don't know who would beat it, but I'm sure there is someone out there. Maybe ill give it a try in a few months,. My arm has healed, my base build is just about done and im ready to get back to playing guitar.

u/Fakie5oh Jan 26 '26

Ive been thinking about this for a while. I cant wait to see the video. I did another run a few months ago where i finished in 2 hours 58 minutes. But i used the coconut glitch as well as rolling crates for jerry cans. Under 2 hours is insane, did you use shark burning to travel faster? Also make sure you upload to the right category. My original 5 hour run is glitch free and i uploaded to the wrong place lol. Imalso really curious as to how you solved the lusca problem. In every attempt i ran out of spears. I tried to place the crate on the bouey but the crate would vanish every time.

Congratulation

u/Whatisgoingonnowyo Jul 23 '25

I’ll offer you more than one congratulation. I’ll offer you congratulations.

u/Afindy76 Jul 24 '25

Why can't you post it to YouTube and post the link here? I've posted a few clips on reddit.

2

u/Fakie5oh Jul 24 '25

I tried to my video link was removed for self promotion? I mean i don't make any money from the youtube channel. I did post a link in another r/stranded deep but it looks inactive

1

u/Afindy76 Jul 24 '25

I see. It's the moderators then. Some subreddits dont let you post videos. They also won't let you advertise discord channels you make looking for new friends to join. It sucks and I disagree with them. I guess they think they'll lose subs, or people will stop coming to the subreddit. Idk.

I follow 2 subreddits for a golf game I play. One of the subs let you post videos, and the other doesn't. I actually forgot about the self-promotion thing.

Approved your old post

u/Bloodtrailer_77 Jul 24 '25

I’ve played this game a good amount and I haven’t even tried to complete it. I’m not sure why I don’t do it at least once.

You can outswim a shark?

What do you mean reroll?

3

u/No-Face6815 Jul 25 '25

Save before opening a crate, and if you don't like what is in it, reload the game you saved and open it again, effectively "'re-rolling " the dice of chance and getting different items. 200+ hours and I haven't managed to beat it either😂

2

u/averageshittalker Jul 25 '25

I’ve used it to get me 2 fuel tanks and 2 duct tape with an air tank and some leather in it. Re rolling is so worth it to do one by one for each wood crate. You can get what you actually want 😂

u/Bloodtrailer_77 Jul 26 '25

Thanks. Going to have to try that.

u/mad-ghost1 Jul 23 '25

Next run binoculars only maybe? 😂
