Elevator% (Japanese)

The Japanese version has unskippable cutscenes and the full game run is significantly longer than the English version. So, to make a fun run, I figured I'd make the equivalent of a Master Sword run of LttP for Operator's Side (the Japanese version of Lifeline). 
This guide (some of the spelling in Japanese may be a bit off) will get you through the game to that point, and has strategies for grabbing healing items as safeties. 

If you need the full (incomplete) guide in English and Japanese, I have it here.

**********************
Keyword Tickets [f-03]
**********************

These are tickets you find that have keywords on them.  The keywords are listed
under SPECIAL or BATTLE in the R2 menu.  They offer additional helpful func-
tions that can be used in either battle, while searching, or to ask Rio for
help.  Some are just for show too like the Sexy pose and Spin the Gun.  The
Ticket keywords are listed below along with their function and location.

["Consultation"]
Let's you start a conversation with Rio by using the SCENARIO keywords.  After
key events you'll get new keywords.  Say them to ask Rio for more details.
Great way to get more out of the story.
----
Location: You automatically get it in the Security Room

["Microphone Check"]
Lets you determine how well the voice recognition is cohering to your voice
commands.  Kind of useless.
----
Location: Security Room "Vending machines", "check second [Dispenser] from
right".

["Zoom in"]
Lets you zoom in to get a better view of items or objects.  This is a great way
to help you determine the identity of an object.
----
Location: Guest Room 1 "Living area", "open BRIEFCASE".

["Low kick"]
Use in battle to drive back enemies that are dangerously close.
---
Location: Guest Room 2 "Living area", "check GLOVES".

["Camera check"]
Lets you pinpoint Rio's location in case she is somewhere off screen or hidden
behind a background.  Kind of useless.
----
Location: Guest Room 3 "check EMERGENCY PANEL", "take SHUTTER KEY".

["Category Game"]
Lets you play a mini game with Rio.  She picks a category like U.S. states and
the two of you trade off picking items in that category.  The first person to
miss loses.
----
Location: Guest Room 4 on the "Dresser", "check back of [Invitation]".

["Spin the Gun"]
Rio spins the gun in battle like in the ol' West.  It doesn't work with the
Machine Gun.  Useless.
----
Location: Sun Suite "second floor" "Wash Room", "close Toilet lid".

["Taunt"]
Rio taunts the enemies during battle just for fun.  Useless.
----
Location: Equipment Room "Utility unit" move to upper right shelf and "check".

["Sexy pose"]
Rio strikes a playful pose for the camera.  Cute but not all that sexy :(
----
Location: Infirmary "Desk", "check the [PC]" and then turn it ON.
Or in the Manager's Office by the "Bed" on the bookshelf. (*Thanks to Matt*)
Note I have not confirmed this.

["Auto-fire"]
Rio will empty the entire magazine in her handgun on an enemy until you stop
her by targeting a different body part.
----
Location: Restrooms "Ladies' Washstands", "look in [Trash can]".

["She sells"]
Play a tongue twister game with Rio.  Rio says a tongue twister and you have to
repeat it.  Very tough.
----
Location: Guest Room 5 "Bathroom", "check [Wig]" and say "sea shells".

["Strafe"]
Spray all the enemy's body parts in succession.
----
Location: Staff Room "Galley", "check [Wax paper]".

["Break time"] (not really a ticket)
Rio sits down and takes it easy.  Good for keeping Rio from wandering around
and out of trouble. ;)
----
Location: Warehouse "Area C-1".

["Launcher"] (not really a ticket)
Rio shoots a grenade at her enemies.  Be careful unlike your ammo you only have
whatever you've found.
----
Location: Automatically after you find grenades in the Air Ducts.

["Jump"]
Rio will jump in battle.  Useful in dodging the shockwave of the Yellow Crab.
----
Location: Waiting Room "Business Center", "use the [Copier] in the front".

["I'll leave it to you"]
Rio will fight the enemy on her own without your guidance.  I encourage you not
to do this because she will not generally go for the weak points and will not
shake off enemies.  If you do, watch closely to step in when necessary.
----
Location: Observatory restaurant "VIP seat 3", "check top of [Floor lamp]".

["Jumpback"]
Jump backwards out of harms way.  The game doesn't recognize this command real
well (at least for me) and it isn't really necessary to avoid damage.  "Jump",
"dodge" and "flee" are much easier to use.
----
Location: Break Room "Galley", say "[Tea bag]".

T3t's Lifeline Speedrun Notes (English)

T3t’s Lifeline Speedrun Notes

General tips for fast:

Enunciate as much as possible and speak with a consistent meter. Sometimes the game cares less about the actual word you say than how you say it. (We’ve managed to get Rio to accept commands by guitar instead of your voice.)


Prepositions can be dropped from mostly everything. You’ll end up saving a fair bit of time just eliminating them from your commands completely and going full caveman speech. (“Run to Shutter 7” can become “Run Shutter 7” without a problem. This can be taken to extremes with “What are you looking for?” becoming “WHAT LOOK FOR?”.)


If Rio is walking for any reason, tell her to RUN or HURRY. Time saved really adds up and sometimes she just won’t listen to the run command the first time.


Don’t sit at low health. If you’re at low health there’s a chance that Rio will be winded and move slower during animations. It’s more worth it to shortly go out of your way for a health capsule than miss enemy cycles due to slow animations.


In battle if you can’t get a good view of the enemy, press R1 to switch the camera. This is useful in some battles that would make it so you otherwise can’t see the enemy at all.


Multiple commands can be sent in the same message and will be executed in order. Instead of saying LEFT EYE and then waiting for Rio to finish and then saying MIDDLE EYE, you can feasibly send LEFT EYE, RIGHT EYE, MIDDLE EYE and Rio will shoot in all those locations one after another. Sometimes the game doesn’t like long messages so try to limit it. Generally it’s advisable to give her no more than two commands at a time.


It is possible to queue commands. It’s not always useful but there’s some points it could help you. (Mostly steam vents and fights.) When you hold O to give Rio a command it doesn’t send until you let go of the button. So if you have a situation where you want a command to be instantly sent after an animation or in anticipation of something you can give the command, remain silent after the command, and then release O when you want it to be accepted. This is useful in situations like fighting a worm where you can say “Left Eye, Right Eye” and while the animation is playing out for those, quickly queue “Middle Eye, Red Eye” for when it finishes.


Whenever you say “Shoot” in battle. Rio will shoot the last shot location. Useful for locations with long names. (“Shoot Shoot Shoot” is much faster than “Left Stomach, Left Stomach, Left Stomach”)



Script and Walkthrough:

SAFETY denotes areas that you should take extra precautions in for marathons and if you’re running low on health because of any number of bad things that could happen. Going out of your way for health capsules always takes time but in a no-reset run it’s preferable to dying or running low on health. During marathons, you’re gonna want to go out of your way to get save points before big areas.

Whenever you are meant to analyze, close, or open something, that’s the square button. 

Donation incentive / alternate run options are noted in a way that wastes the least time.

Enemy List:
SLUG
Minor enemies. Their weakness is their Mouth and Stomach, and you can only hit these spots if they stand up, roll over, or fly at Rio. Very easy to way get around waiting for them to start an animation is to shoot them in the head and then shoot the mouth while they are recoiling. Most early slugs can be taken out immediately with a HEAD, MOUTH command.

Orange Slugs are unique: These can be killed by just shooting the Head.

If a slug jumps on you, SHAKE it off.

WORM
Shoot out the Right Eye, Middle Eye, and Left Eye. Then shoot out the Red Eye. If the Worm is still alive, take out the Mouth next, and then the Tail. To hit the tail shoot it after anything else while it’s recoiling, get behind it, or wait for it to electrify.

EVIL HAND
The Evil Hand will not attack you if you are too close to it. If you are far enough away, however, the Evil Hand will do a little dance and then shoot its long Tongue at you. You want the Evil Hand to shoot its Tongue, because shooting the Tongue is a one hit kill. You can force a tongue reveal with EYE to immediately follow with TONGUE.

FROG
Frogs are unique in that they always drop an item (usually a Launcher Shell, though sometimes a Heal Capsule). Shoot either the Hind Leg then the Front Leg. When it’s on it’s back shoot out the Right Stomach and Left Stomach, then end it with the Red Stomach. If neither leg is available to shoot you can go for the mouth or tail to flip it.

GIANT PLANT
First, shoot the Branches. Then immediately, shoot any of the Eyes. “Branches Left Eye” Repeat until it dies.

YELLOW CRAB
Aim for either the Eye or Mouth, whichever is in front of Rio. The Yellow Crab will disappear and then reappear somewhere else. If it reappears in the air, “Jump” as it is landing and then shoot weak area twice. If it appears on the ground, shoot weak area. The worst thing that the Yellow Crab can do is reappear behind Rio, because she hates obeying "Turn Around", so try to keep your back against the wall.

BLUE ALIEN
You want about 3 Launcher Shells for this fight as it seriously threatens to end the run without them.

Begin by shooting all the limbs that are glowing red. Flee after he attacks to get behind him to shoot the tail. Once all limbs are no longer glowing, hit him with a Launcher Shell. While he is on the ground, all limbs will glow again, so shoot as many as you can. During his standing up animation he stops glowing for a bit, hit him with another launcher shell and repeat until he’s dead. If you run out of Launcher Shells, "Dodge" him when he attacks, and then shoot the random limb that glows for a short time afterwards.

FINAL BOSS
Operator controls the left thruster with the d-pad, Rio controls the right thruster with the Operator's voice. Rio can maneuver in 8 directions: Right, left, up, down, upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left. 

To hurt the Final Boss, take out the barriers he shoots with both thrusters, and then position both thrusters directly on the Final Boss in the center while he is vulnerable. You can queue Rio’s thruster to move towards the center directly after the barrier pops. 

Kill the little enemies that the Final Boss shoots if it is convenient or you’re about to die, but not if it gets in the way of damaging the Final Boss.
