Back with another blindfold solo challenge. Gotta give a shoutout to Esoterickk1 for the idea. Thanks homie!

I did this live on stream for authenticity purposes.

This validates the run, so please chill with the "this is fake" comments.

Anyway, this was both fun and annoying. Not being able to see can get pretty exhausting pretty quickly. You don't really ever know where you are or what your exact mistakes are. It's all feel and estimating where you THINK you are.

A lot of time was spent developing the route through the maze. I used a combination of 3 things to navigate smoothly.

1) Walking periods - Every time I walk forward, it is for a very specific count. I simply count to a number every time and then stop. This was carefully measured out before the blindfold was put on.

2) Turning "tics" - When you see my character turn, you'll notice that I'm turning in short bursts or tics. I found this to be the easiest method of turning with some sort of consistency. Setting my sensitivity to 1 was crucial.

3) Sound queues - I use different sounds to identify my positioning throughout the entire run. These include: water splashes, feet hitting the ground, running into walls, Gorgon beeps, etc.

All of these things were carefully studied prior to actual attempts. The most difficult thing about the runs were the turning tics. Being off target by just a tiny bit threw off the entire run. This kept happening to me over and over.

All in all, it felt really good to get this done! I hope to maybe one day solo the Crota's End Abyss blindfolded, however, this will be extremely difficult!

Hope you enjoy the run!
