Nokey’s Epic Minecraft Speedrun Fail

This is krook and he is about to get a world record in Minecraft’s hardest speedrunning category all he has to do is craft beds and respawn anchors in order to kill the dragon but Then well normally a super quick Dragon perch is incredibly good luck in Crook’s case it’s the opposite because he wasn’t able to make it to the Fountain fast enough he wasn’t able to complete the one cycle and claim first place choking a PB sucks now imagine that but with a

World record what’s even worse about this whole situation is that this is a feeling krook is all too familiar with now who is krook krook is in my opinion and many others the most skillful Minecraft speedrunner Chad I don’t give a single flying that crook got it

An 1134 I couldn’t give less of a if I literally tried to Crooks has 748 of them I don’t care about krook’s latest sub 12 that he ripped out of his ass I do not care but why am I saying this well I think the most prominent evidence I can provide takes

Place about a year and a half ago as normal people were gunning for the world record however another major goal was to beat Minecraft in under 10 minutes at the time there were only two sub 10 speedruns a 936 by rlda and a 908 by Cube 1337 which was the record at the

Time krooks would managed to become the third person ever to get a sub 10 with this current PB of 9 minutes and 36 seconds I’m going to go over this run really quick he starts off in a really unique Way by stopping at a ruined portal to get gold

Armor and tools that don’t end up being all too useful after swimming for 35 seconds straight he stumbles upon a shipwreck that contains iron for tools and a bucket using a magma Ravine he enters the nether before 2 minutes passes 40 seconds later he’s at a Bastion to get ender pearls obsidian and

String for beds he finds a fortress but isn’t able to enter right away this is because he had no food at this point and had to perform a death reset which involves using a respawn anchor to get full health and hunger in an insane Stroke of Luck Crooks kills six BL

Blazes and every single one of them drops a rod which as a side note is a 1 in 64 chance exiting the nether at 548 he’s off searching for the stronghold around a minute and a half later he sees his ocean exposed portal room unfortunately the Bastion didn’t give

Him enough string and he had to resort to the string in the library which lost him about 25 seconds finally he enters the end at 736 on world record Pace to compare that with the other sub 10 runs Cube entered 12 seconds later and blda entered 45 seconds lower now was this a

World record no sadly the dragon took a whole 90 seconds to perch which didn’t allow him to beat Cub’s time and what did krooks have to say about this second place whatever man like it’s not world record I don’t really care Crooks just got a second place time and

Said not a world record who cares if his goals weren’t clear to you before they sure are now what could have caused this intense drive for gold well to answer this question we have to go back a few months before this run the world record was 9 minutes and 36 seconds as normal

Krooks is resetting seeds until he finds one that looks promising using a technique known as mapless Berry treasure he’s able to get materials and food right off the bat finding a lava pole underground he’s able to enter the nether with an almost perfect spawn right next to a Bastion it allows him to

Get everything he needs something to note is that this particular seed has a fossil in the z00 chunk for those of you who don’t know what this means it allows Crooks to utilize Divine travel for those of you who don’t know what that means in short it’s a way to find the

General area of the stronghold due to how World Generation Works traveling in a random Direction he gets lucky and finds a fortress after killing 12 blazes he gets six rods calculating to find travel he finds that his optimal blind location is very close to where he already is putting a portal down he

Travels for a minute and 40 seconds to get to a stronghold it takes him 20 seconds to find the Portal room and he’s again about to enter on world record Pace but you’ll notice krooks doesn’t immediately start placing eyes instead he decides to craft his beds before

Entering the end but isn’t this a Time loss yes and no this is because krook is going to attempt a zero cycle a zero Z cycle was something developed because Runners were getting robbed of good times due to a slow Dragon perch I could explain all the intricacies but that

Might take a while so just know that it’s a way for runners to kill the dragon by bridging to its flight path and using explosives the only problem is that it’s incredibly hard and doesn’t even work on all seeds with road record on the line krook is going to attempt a

Zero cycle entering the end with an insane amount of pressure this happens no the dragon had flown away whether it was due to Crooks being too slow or the dragon just not wanting to cooperate his best chance of a world record had come and gone he was still able to finish the

Run and get a PB of 1056 but obviously it was a Bittersweet one I am speechless dude what’s that world record if he didn’t fly away dude I wish he didn’t fly away I would have Sero pych and it would have been the best run ever

Dude I was shaking so hard man I don’t know what to say D I haven’t even mentioned the craziest part about this whole thing krooks had wanted the world record more than anyone else if you can’t tell how hard he grinded for it the let me tell you this this PB we just

Talked about wasn’t his first of the day in fact literally a few hours before he had entered this seed he got a PB with a time of 11 minutes and 15 seconds oh that feels pretty good might I add his triangulation in this run was absolutely insane

What there’s no way I hit that imagine getting an incredibly fast run for the time and the deciding it’s not good enough yet krooks just had a very large passion to get to the top of the leaderboard unmatched by anyone so now that he had a world record Pace run what

Happened next for the next year krooks would post solid runs and PBS on his YouTube his PB lowered to 1013 then 10:03 and finally the aformentioned 9336 where it stands now but if you can tell by the length of this video this story isn’t over yet among the various YouTube

Videos you’ll find examples of crooks just being incredibly consistent multiple super fast blind travels and not to mention two additional sub 10 runs with a 957 and 944 krooks was getting multiple sub 10s before it was cool at the time of these runs there were only four other Runners with PBS

Under 10 minutes and none of them had more than two krook was just the best whether it was mechanics game knowledge or even reset efficiency he was doing it like no other getting to the top was where things faltered take a look at these two runs both with incredibly fast

Blind travels not even 2 months apart are world record potential runs these runs were only dying to bad luck such as a far blind travel if these runs had perfect luck then Crooks would have had an unbeatable world record now there’s only two more runs I want to go over and

The first one kind of shows off how unfortunate Crooks could be on June 9th Crooks started a run with one of the most unique seeds ever this world started off with a ruined portal ruin portal runs are good and bad on one hand they can provide extremely fast enters

With golden carrots for food and golden armor which makes Bastion super easy however the big downside is that they normally don’t have enough iron for a pickaxe for Crooks all it gets are six gold carrots the nether spawns him directly next to a blaz spawner while this is lucky it’s preferred to start

Out of Bastion in order to get fire resistance making the fights much easier crooked being a gigachad only takes damage twice with a short travel he makes it to a Bastion since he doesn’t have an iron pickaxe he has to spend time looting chest for iron eventually

He starts his route gets everything and calculates the distance to the stronghold krook also got 20 obsidian which allows him to do a technique known as calculator travel by placing one portal to gauge the location he can set a second portal in the nether to teleport to the stronghold doing that he

Ended up in the stronghold at 6:42 after getting wood and locating the portal room krook was once again setting up for a zero cycle when he entered hello it’s bugged a very very rare glitch occurred that caused him to freeze keep in mind that the world record at this time was a

908 so krooks was still on Pace for a world record even without the zero however this opportunity slowly faded away as the dragon flew round and round without perching having two chances for the world record vanish due to dumb luck would be really disheartening but knowing krooks he would bounce back and

Bounce back he did 1 month later on July 21st krooks started one of the best runs we’ve ever seen even to this day using a shipwreck he got iron and plenty of food a nearby magma Ravine led him enter the Nether and instantly he saw a Bastion and Fortress after a near-death

Experience he started his route while his pigs traded he got a chest with 15 obsidian his trades were phenomenal providing enough pearls string fire resistance and five more Obby arriving at The Fortress at 356 he started killing blazes he went 6 for8 on rods and set down his first portal a quick

Measurement later and a few pearls got him to his second portal location as expected it put him right where he needed to be Crooks used the strategy known as preemptive in short this allows a runner to find the Portal room by using the pie chart Cooks found on the

Portal room and entered the end for one last time except there was a problem he only had three pieces of wood Crooks however knew it wasn’t over yet a complicated method that destroys a boat can give a player three wood with this additional wood he would have two beds

And one respawn anchors three explosives is tough but definitely doable for someone of Cook’s caliber but as you’re probably used to by now disaster struck an insta perch is when a dragon perches as soon as possible in almost every run this is a good thing this run wasn’t

Every other run in this scenario it was the worst possible thing that could happen in the end the Run was over the world record slipped out of his fingers for the fourth time in the end assuming Crooks was able to kill the dragon here this would have been around a 7 minute

And 30 second run and this was about a year and a half ago currently the record is a 745 if this seed had gone correctly Crooks would have had complete domination over the category even to this day at what point do you give up for KR it was here we haven’t seen

Consistent runs on his twitch or YouTube since then it really sucks cuz he was one of my favorite Runners seeing him get insane Paces almost daily was a treat to watch over the past years we’ve seen new records come and go the worst part is that the player who deserved the

Number one title for even just a little never got it as much as I want this story to have a happy ending it doesn’t although a ton of people want Crooks to come back I don’t think it will happen Minecraft speed running hasn’t been as active recently with less and less

Runners going for the world record however if he ever did come back I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before he finally gets his record I’ll always keep my hopes up for the eventual Return of the most unfortunate Minecraft Speedrunner
