That's only one part, the most important is how difficult it is!

The difficulty is a part of its look haha

This is perhaps the most difficult Battle Race map ever made, and it has taken people years to figure out how to complete every part.

Here is a BRSolver run of this map, one-turning it in 308.78 seconds: Wyvern - Tranquility - 308.78 second solution by BRSolver.WAgame
I am releasing this with Wyvern's permission.

Tranquility is terrifying when you think of how many hours went into it. I used to make much more rudimentary battlerace maps, and playtesting and revising a map took forever, and my maps were about 1/20 as intricate as wyvern's. 100+ hours is probably a reasonable estimate. This is truly the GOAT walkrace map.

Cool replay, did BRsolver always skipwalk, DC? I thought it used to walk normally in the earlier build.

a joy to watch

It is actually flipwalking, which is a bit faster than skipwalking. It has always done this... in fact BRSolver discovered flipwalking the very first time a working build outputted a solution.

I would actually REALLY like to make BRSolver able to walk at 1x speed. It currently is not even capable of this. It's a bit complicated because the normal 1x walk doesn't have a short repeating pattern (if you extend it to the point that it does, it is very long, longer than the width of any BR map), but CS and I have discussed this and have a plan for how to do it.

Edit: Perhaps you are remembering the BR TAS replays I made before BRSolver existed? All of those used normal-speed walking and were manually made.

I remember the struggle on this map, like never before. And it occured to me just after watching that i have never finished the map, got stuck somewhere in the last quarter and gave up in madness.. oh well..
Wyv is a genius, probably not a human too and easily 1 of the most notable people in the history of this game that inspired me since a long time.

Wow. As brilliant as I already thought the map was, seeing the solution... holy shit.
It's amazing how he makes his map in such a way that in order to finish it, you have to revisit some parts several times. Usually, you'd have to sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of making a feasible map, but here, it's like the art is working for him. And all built from scratch!

I miss Wyvern.

This replay is, by far, sickest thing I've seen in W:A yet.
What a map...

so many awesome hours of adventure spent on this map, with many players

my most recent adventure was with kory, I was stuck at the 243s part so I'm not watching beyond that xD

love this map <3
