Hey there, I'm new in the speedrun community and Dino Crisis 2 is my first run I'm attending, but I got a bit of a issue with reaching the points quota to buy the firewall, so I was wondering if anyone got any tips on the subject? I was able to reach 2100 points without damaging my time too much, but that's the best I can do for now.

Thanks in advance guys!

You're meant to do two x5 combos in jungle with Dylan and Regina.

With Dylan it's at split 7, military facility 2.

With Regina it's split 18, south route 1.

You get 2700 for the raptors plus a 2k non damage bonus in both rooms.

I suggest either watching Kaladere's guide, which is pretty good even though he says it isn't, or just watching any top 10 run and seeing how they do it. One that has an input overlay is even better because you can see exactly what you need to do.

I suggest joining the Dino Crisis 2 speedrunning discord to get help quicker.

Welcome to Dino 2 Speedruns.

When you kill 5 dinos without taking any damage, you will get bonus points for it. All runners do this twice before getting to the firewall in order to have enough points to get it. You can do it consistenly without losing time in a few areas.

Good luck with your runs :D

Actually laggusmaximus explained it a lot better than me, we were writting at the same time XD

Fun fact, I watched both of your runs (vendettavic and laggusmaximus) yesterday to have a preview hahaha But I'll make sure to check the guide and join the Discord, but thanks for the quick answers and the insights! :)

Another option is you can do an early combo with Dylan in the second room (first one with dino's). I do have a video demonstrating it if you want to see it in action. I would replace Regina's combo as its the harder of the two META rooms that you farm in. There is some downsides with it. It is about 2ish seconds slower if done optimally. The other downside is it uses more shotgun ammo which can get a little tight once you arrive at Paula's section. If you are just starting out and want to do it I would recommend buying some shotgun ammo when you buy the chainmine after the underwater section just to be safe. I would also recommend still attempting Regina's combo just for the practice cause long term you will want to get the hang of it since it is the fastest room to get a combo in.
