In this installment of SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, we go over how Alien: Isolation speedrun world record holder, xEB, beats the game in 22 minutes. This run utilizes some major sequence breaks, using one of the games only mechanics, crouching, to clip through walls (crouch clipping). In addition to that, most of the missions are skipped, and some other useful tech is used such as silent running, which lets you get past aliens without detection.

    The amount of dedication it takes to work towards a WR on a run that ends because of RNG most times right at the end is insane.
  • Glad me and Infomastr could be apart of making this happen. It was a great experience explaining how stuff worked, even if the explanations came down to "we just don't know why this works".
  • @brandonbrown5555
    Can we take a second to appreciate xEB's little celebrations after the face huggers and making it to the elevator. You can feel his excitement from a little shaking
  • @ryanbacon4070
    Dude the insert at 10:42 is such a wholesome thing. Was in a hole about a year ago and was able to pull myself out of it, but hearing that might change someone’s entire perspective and mindset. You earned the fastest sub off one video just for that. Thank you man.

    The Aliem watching Ripley crouch clip through doors: “I admire its purity”
  • @purplehaze2358
    This game gets a lot less scary when you blitz through it in completely unintended ways, doesn't it?
  • @hellfrog24
    As someone who recently thought killing themselves after a long term relationship ended, your words around the 11 minute mark mean more than you know. Thank you. Seriously.

    21:42. HE SAID ALIEN HE SAID ALIEN HE DIDNT SAY ALIUM I CANT BELIEVE YOU BETRAYED US LIKE THIS MILLIMETER PETER
  • Never though you would do this game. For how great it is, the game is severely underated. One of the best game adaptions of a horror movie to date.
  • @stovetopoven8614
    I literally bought this game yesterday. this is insane timing.
  • @petitepute383
    18:15 I remember doing a no death run and dying in the black screen for no reason. I was furious as I had lost about 7h of gameplay. I never knew about this glitch though so I alwayed wondered what had killed me.
  • @SSZaris
    Carcenogen's no damage no glitch walkthrough with commentary is still one of the best Alien Isolation videos out there. Really good watch.
  • @griffin7452
    The amount of joy Alium brings me is unreal. ❤
  • @ulch11
    It's amazing how this guy beats the game in 22 minutes and here I am not nearly at the end after playing it for a decade.
  • @glennk.3378
    I just want to thank you for what you say at 10:35 in this video. The algorithm tossed you my way almost a year ago and hearing you say this in all your videos really did help me through a dark period. I also really love the content. I have fun learning all these cool tricks that I'll never practice in the game.
  • @AtlasIsCrazy
    This was the first video I ever watched from tomatoanus, and I watched it during a particularly bad day. The speech he goes on to say around the 11 minute mark made my day in a way I can’t begin to describe, and that instantly made me gain such a respect for him. Thank you for making my day even a little bit better, and that alone made me subscribe.
  • @davidjsaul
    I love this game. Such a shame we never got a sequel. And IGN should be forever ashamed of the pitiful score it gave this 😂
  • @grigorsamsa6564
    Btw Allium (two 'l's) is the genus of plants that includes onion and garlic, so Allium Isolation would still make for a very tasty soup if you sauteed it in butter.
  • @sethmoyer
    This is a great video as usual! I think that most flares would actually still work in space because they're self-oxidizing. I know that a lot of them work underwater too!
