◆ TWHG2 First ever deathless run! A TWHG2 speedrun in 11m55s by Danicker.

◆ Thanks to @Maximum for putting up the bounty that pushed me to finally grind for this achievement! This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I put my head down in 2019 in a quest to achieve the first deathless completion of this game, but I got continually stuck on Level 18 and Level 19 and so I gave up quickly, with a best score of 6 deaths. Since then, I have done a lot more speedrunning of this game and improved my times dramatically, but it always nagged me that my lowest death count was still 6. So when Maximum announced the $500 bounty for getting the first deathless world record in twhg2 I knew I had to go for it, and this time I would not stop until the deed was done. Thanks to everyone who tuned into the streams to cheer me along, I have more streams and videos coming soon so make sure to subscribe and click the bell to be notified of my new projects!

    Brotha can go 0 deaths noscope but almost chokes on a gulp of water.
  • For the people that are confused with minute 1:53 in lvl 13 where he faces through a enemy, the game is programmed by a 16-year-old boy some time ago, so the game is not perfect. What we can see here is a hitbox bug, because the enemy is going too fast for the game to register it and the player collision hitbox is reales small. That is also the reason why he can sometimes face a little bit through walls. More on this on @Maximum new video about world hardest game 1. Ps: sorry for bad spelling and language, I am from Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
  • Maximum: Nobody has ever done a deathless run of WHG2. Danicker: And I took that personally.
  • the craziest thing about this video is: There is still so many things to optimize. If this blows up and a lot more speedrunners do this, the time is going to go down so much.
  • @77elite9
    Can I get explanation on how the player phased through the enemy in 13? Look, I still believe the run is real, I just want to know how this enemy clip is performed.
  • Holy crap, years after this game has been released, it has finally been conquered like it's little brother. Gg
  • @GHSpaghetti
    Can't imagine how nervous you were past 43, good job
  • @10thletter40
    Made that look 500x easier than it was. That was so smooth towards the end that I would have assumed you completed it so many times before!
  • @zixiany
    I love it how Maximum was talking about a 0 death run on worlds hardest game 2 just a few days ago.
  • Amazing man! History came way faster then anyone ever expected!
  • @sonnic9182
    Wow, massive congrats brother! When I was a kid I'd wonder if someone would ever pull this off, and now it's happened. Awesome.
  • @ShaneCasserly
    Trials of death, deep fear, and now this! Congrats man, that is an amazing accomplishment. What a year for speedrunning
  • @lucidmlem
    I wasn't expecting to find this such a short time after that documentary, congratulations on this.
  • @Smeric
    Wow that was quick. GG's you're truely amazing at this game
  • @thebus3181
    I didn’t think this was going to be done for a while, this is insane.
  • Awesome job. Thanks community members for explaining the phase-glitch.
