I still have to add some of my other skips and glitches that could save time on runs. If you have one, you can post it (video recommended), but also add a description on how to do it and what it does.
Yeah same Twitch's video player is god awful. I had to go on the site to watch it.
Ok I moved the videos into you tube. Not really sure whats wrong, but I can watch it fine on twitch. But I still have a few glitches and time savers to record. So I will update soon.
That Outpost door thing is so frame perfect it seems or you have to kill a certain amount of enemies. But I ended trying it offline and was still slower than Dave's IL.
I tested the outpost door glitch on agent. I could open it without killing any enemies. It looks hard but all you need to do is go unarmed, then hit a on the switch really quick and run to the other switch and hit a really quick. But this can definitely save you about a minute.
Yeah, but it requires perfect input and if not you lose time and run is ruined. And considering it's towards the end of the game I wouldn't use it. Plus take into account the Trinity Infiltration mission where if you go past it with good RNG. You have to do it again with bad RNG to get the good one.
That's definitely a strat for ILs only I'd say, but still well worth attempting I think. I got a 2:54 glitchless with a new route in the second half so could add up to a really low time.
@ShavedThrone10 the problem is entirely mine, but thanks for re-upping :)
I've watched all 4 videos available so far, it's so cool that you are making these guides. I'll also provide my own ones at some point, I'm afraid I don't have much time right now. I knew 2 of the strats, but the other 2 are brand new to me! My comments:
-
Mission 0: I knew this one already, but unfortunately that only seems to be possible on PA and DA. At least in my game, scientists seem to be immortal on both Agent and Secret Agent.
-
Mission 3: I didn't know this one, and I have to say it's pretty cool, definitely woth a try!
-
Mission 5: I knew this one. It's awesome, right? :P. I found it by accident when messing around the level.
-
Mission 11: I didn't know this one, and it's a good find. Of course, it's not as fast as using the OoB glitch, but it's definitely a time saver for glitchless speedruns!
I think that's all, keep the good work! And good luck with the Dark Agent full game speedrun! If you manage to do it deathless, that would be an impressive gaming achievement!
I've cracked the mission 11 glitch, got the time down to 2:04 and I'm pretty confident about being able to pull it off first time (like 9 times out of 10) It actually saves about 20 seconds I think compared to the OOB (that I've seen anyway) and my time can be improved since I got wrecked in the streets after doing the skips.
Is it just me, or does the enemy AI seem more aggressive if you do the skips? Could just be my imagination.
