Only Wolves is a game released in March 2019, and despite all that time, there are still many challengers who are still working on the game's quick ideas. At present, the best time for "Only Wolves" speed on the speedrun website is 19 minutes and 53 seconds, which is a new record in the recent period.
If a challenger says that it took 2 hours and 35 seconds to speed through "Only Wolf", you may feel that this person's level is not bad, how to make others so long. But if this challenger says it's a blindfolded pass of Only Wolves, how do you think he performed?
On the Speed Connect Event Games Done Quick, anchor Mitchriz blindfolded himself when challenging Speed Connect's "Only Wolves" and completed the challenge in 2 hours and 35 seconds.
Despite not seeing the game's graphics, Mitchriz's amazing memory and skillful operation, coupled with the wonderful commentary of commentator Lil Aggy, the audience enjoyed a near-perfect speed-up challenge.
I see that some netizens wonder if this challenge is catty, such as lifting the recorded video, or that the blindfold is actually transparent, and Mitchriz can see the game screen through the blindfold.
After all, this is not a 2D side-scrolling game, but "Only Wolves". FromSoftware's game is inherently difficult, where would anyone try to play "Only Wolf" blindfolded, and the challenge was successful, where in the world is there such a coincidence? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
I can understand their ideas, but all this is not a coincidence, but the result of Mitchriz's efforts over the past six months.
Starting July 1, 2021, Mitchriz began researching how to pass Only Wolves blindfolded and changed the name of his Twitch live room to "BLINDFOLDED Sekiro Routing".
At that time, if someone was attracted to the title of the live broadcast room, his viewing experience must have been very painful. After being blindfolded, Mitchriz could only hear the sound of the game, could not see the game's graphics, the terrain of the reeds, the configuration of the enemy, and the corresponding playing style needed to be re-remembered in his mind, and each attempt was accompanied by "Hidetaka Miyazaki's ridicule".

After torturing himself and his audience for nearly a month, Mitchriz finally completed "Only Wolves" blindfolded, with a total flow of 4 hours, 35 minutes and 13 seconds.
(You see how happy he is smiling)
After the successful challenge, Mitchriz did not stop there, choosing instead to continuously optimize the process. By the end of 2021, he was able to blindfold "Only Wolves" in two hours, nearly half the time faster than the first time. Although Mitchriz's challenge on Games Done Quick was lost over 2 hours, his performance in this competition was surprising.
For domestic players, when it comes to blindfolded speed through "Only Wolf", what comes to mind is definitely the feathers of the feeding dog group, he challenged all the bosses and elite monsters in the blindfold to kill the "Only Wolf" Shuluo ending in March 2020, personally demonstrated the applicability of the "Only Wolf" explosive raider video, and proved to us that as long as you know how to play, you can complete the game with your eyes closed.

Station B user "Just Blind" also challenged blindfold speed pass "only wolf", the latest result is the January 1, 2022 submission, the title of the video title is "Simple, 1 hour 36 minutes and 50 seconds, blindfold speed pass world record !!!".
Simple...... What about me who can't beat Madame Butterfly?

Blindfolding is not a novelty either, and I think other games are more suitable for blindfolding than Only Wolves, such as Escape. At the end of December 2018, anchor Acroh tried Blindfold Speed Pass Escape, and it took only 10 minutes and 24 seconds to complete the game. Honestly, I was still rubbing the door of the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital for 10 minutes, wondering if I wanted to go in.
It is recommended that friends who do not come to horror games try the blindfold game, which may be more effective than the single loop "Good Luck Coming".
In addition to the blindfolded level, speed players also have some other whole-life behaviors. For example, Twitch anchor PeekingBoo performed all the C-side levels of "Azure Mountains" with a dance machine on the 2021 Speed Connect Competition Games Done Quick, and won the golden strawberries for each level.

In fact, this anchor is a dancing machine speed master, he has used the dance machine to play through a large number of games, such as "Teacup Head", "Castlevania", "Super Mario Odyssey", which he has tried to use the dance machine to pass the level.
Now the speed challenge has become more diversified, initially everyone compares who can play through the game in the shortest time, and now you can see all kinds of strange speed challenges, such as the blindfold speed pass mentioned above, as well as the use of dancing machine speed pass. These bizarre challenges are more ornamental and fun, attracting more players to pay attention to Speedpass and the game itself.
As for today's protagonist "Only Wolf", maybe I should really find time to open the game, after all, everyone can pass the level blindfolded, what reason do I have to continue to escape?
