Another run-timed trial of providence with a huge skillcap and potentials.

Like others, when i played severals trials, I found a lot of interest and fun for them so if we are able to have a sub category for the most promising trials it can be nice !

Also thanks for creating the game page for speedrun.com, it was fast.

fastest i've done so far, this route seems optimal. 31 is def possible with some optimizations

nice !! the shot at the end is really satisfying haha

Been trying out many different routes to get the fastest time I could. My best is 28.8secs with this run here. I feel like you could save a little more time with better execution.

Nice catch, didn't think about the double arrow but you nailed it :)

Got a 28.6, I think 28.4 is possible with a different route where you go over the part at the 6 second in combined with better everything else.

It's interesting to see the current route actually matches my dev path, its just much more optimal. I'm glad you guys are enjoying it :)

Got a 28.3 with the route Wes mentioned. The boards are up so I assume we can start posting them there.

a curse upon the developer of this stage, for reducing my productivity to 0 while i'm stunlocked grinding this T_T

my notes:

I do not think the top route to get to checkpoint 2 is faster, i'm doing a slightly altered bottom route where I jump into the arrow release which might just be a placebo, but as far as I can tell it's faster. (i'm getting to the checkpoint at 14:50 consistently, high 50 on a good pace whereas the top route I can't get better than just barely getting there at 50)

Monochrome90's altered route before the double wall climb is a lot faster, it's annoying to get consistently but if you loose the arrow and start charging another before it hits you're saving years of time. Not having to wait on an arrow charge makes the [red item > stairs > upward arrow] speed actually matter, so be swift for some nice time save there.

still a lot of optimisation to go, and maybe even route alterations(?) but so far this has been pretty fun. Here's my current best run, 26.1:

Nice find. I got a 26.6 around the time you posted this with top route and all the same optimizations, so bottom route seems to save around a half second with some degree of error.

so top route seems to save around a half second with some degree of error

I'm assuming you mean bottom route here and it was a mistype, yea you could be saving a little bit of time with that for sure. I'm gonna go for a 25.x, though it might take a while lol, good luck on your runs.

Managed to land this run. Very close to sub 26s. I'm sure someone will get the perfect run soon.

wait i didn't know this thread was a thing! you guys are all so good at this, it's been really fun watching everyone else's routes!

I got there on the perfect line.. one for the ages

I just got the same run! congrats Melancoliax you beat me by half an hour about!

congrats mate! I'm glad we both got the sub 26. you really pushed me to grind it out haha

I think it'll be hard for us to beat these times without changing something up, I'm happy with my time for now at least. I want to take a break and maybe look at some options for adjusting the route if it's possible. I mean surely we're not at the end game of the level already right?

I hope we aren't at the end. wanna see it go down a second or 2, so I'll be on the lookout for more strats. But I am very satisfied with that run, so I'll be calming down unless I find something out for now.

just got a 25.6 i've been shooting arrows for HOURS the last two nights! i feel like there might be another couple tenths to clean up but i'm feeling a little gassed about it

big props for getting this! yea, I think there is a small margin still with current route. gonna hop on for a bit and look for some potential improvments
