Four Advent Members Play Elderly Climbers and Miss the Summit Twice

HOLOLIVE — Fuwawa Abyssgard, Koseki Bijou, Shiori Novella and Nerissa Ravencroft of hololive English -Advent- played a cooperative mountain-climbing game as elderly versions of themselves in the Sunset Summit collab, and twice ran out of time before reaching the top. All four streamed it on their own channels, and the session ran a little over two hours.

The group opened by introducing their old-man characters. Shiori Novella presented hers as “Shio Gramps,” a retired, traumatized high school math teacher who hates children. Another claimed to be 600 years old and to have once run an ark, and a third was a retired chemical engineer counting on a new hip. Before setting out they found an urn holding their late friend Ernie and agreed to carry it to the summit, with a countdown to sunset ticking.

The climb was built around teamwork: ropes that stay in place for the next player, a drone for scouting ledges, and items such as a pogo stick, a grappling hook and mushrooms that raise stamina. A checkpoint on one stretch only activated when all four players stood at it together, so the group stopped to wait for whoever had fallen behind. One of them said the cooperative design was something they liked. The first attempt ended with the clock at zero about 1 hour 11 minutes into the broadcast, shortly after one of them said they were close. They restarted and treated the second run as a speedrun, noting that the early stretch had cost them too much time the first time.

On the second run Nerissa Ravencroft lagged on the island jumps. The others urged her to use the bean items that boost a jump through flatulence, but she refused, and she was still working on the gap while the countdown ran under ten minutes. As the final minutes ticked away the route told players to climb down the mountain before they could go up again, and the timer expired roughly two hours 12 minutes in. “If we had more time, I could have gotten there,” one of them said.

In the wrap-up the four said they had reached neither the sunset nor the peak, and joked that Ernie might have come back to life if the urn had made it to the top. Chat spent the opening minutes trading old-man nicknames for the cast and later cheered Nerissa Ravencroft’s struggles with the beans.
