Hey everyone
I beat the game a couple days ago and looked at parts of the runs. I feel stupid for asking this because it's one of the first things you would actually do considering the tech available but here goes.
How much testing has been done for massive skips? I'm talking like multiple chapters. This game has so much revisting areas that I feel like it could be something the game has. The skips are definitely well thought out that people would have tried this stuff I guess.
I'll have timestamps from the record run to help explain some ideas. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me none of it works before I try and learn the tech and stuff myself.
About 5:27 (YouTube time) you get to the de rune farm. You do go back to the area in chapter 12 around the 59 minute mark. I take it the lab isn't out in the distance from chapter 1?
Actually thinking about chapter 1. I do notice that the run goes in the house and plays normally for awhile. Can you not make it to the area you start at 8:08 from 5:27 with a clip or is it a different map? Seems like it would save 2 minutes or so.
Round about the 41 minute mark there is a lot of time spent doing the puzzle. I take it you can't just clip into the door at the far side and make it into the castle and hit a checkpoint?
There is most of the start area (59 minute mark) is played in bounds. Can't you clip out around the 59 minute mark on the right side and make it to the area you start around 1:01:42? I guess there's no walkable collision but still wanted to ask.
At start of lab around 1:04:26 the lion blocks the way. I take it a clip past it has nothing loaded so you have to light the torches underneath?
The catherdral seems like it should have way more skipping especially for how often you go there. At 50:58 you're outside the cathedral. Is the area at 57:08 just before the cutscene plays not reachable from 50:58? The cutscene that plays shows them coming out of the door at the right hand side of the cathedral entrance. I know that's ridiculous and people probably tried it but you never know.
I take it none of the tech works in the second game? I saw there was a glitch hunting event but it seems like nobody runs it.
