After thinking about it most times for this game a lot of time can be wasted on backtracking and or getting trapped in a trap room, so I'm setting out to document all the maps in this game, but I'm wondering if I should make a guide for each chapter with very high in detail guide to the chapter with tips on the bosses or do a massive all maps guide to all maps in the game with indicators to where there's events and such?
Actually, I have found some detailed guides about this game, but most of them are in Japanese like this: https://gamekouryakuworld.net/crystar-topmenu/
I also thought about making guides in English here, but my English is bad, so it is very difficult for me. If you are willing to make it, it will be a great help for English runners who are willing to run this game!
I can officially say that it is in the making.
Right away I'll include maps that'll have: -Full map view (So you can chart your own path) -Spawn location -Trap rooms (Both story and non-story ones) -Endpoints/boss room
I will also include some tips on the areas if I come up or across any.
On top of the maps, I'll also include which dialog choice is the fastest within the cutscenes (like the least amount of text boxes, and if they have the same amount then it'll be down to words) to cut down time spent skipping lines
But my question is: what is the best way to show a photo here? should I leave like an Imgur link or have them hosted into a google drive or some other way?
FYI: I will not post the guide until I make a run (1 Alcea run) with it to make sure that it is fully correct and I think that someone can use it effectively
It sounds so good!
About photos, using imgur links is a good method cuz Speedrun.com seems to be able to directly show the content of imgur links.
Started my first bit of testing of the maps and guides, this was a quick pic before I started (so no maps, strats, or guides time)
and I finished the prologue and chapter 1 in about 18:43!!! (without trying but that was with the strats and good RNG but missed quite a few good spin skills(also was with failing to press the button so it was more like 17:33)) didn't get a pic because I screwed up my table when I freaked out about the time
But with a perfect run? 15 or lower (maybe 13) could be possable
Good job! I think if the run could get in 15 minutes, may have to get a perfect rng (like hit more critical attacks?) Btw, I noticed that if you want to show the imgur photo,the link must be i . imgur . com / . png
Perfect in the sense of more critical attacks, good monster spawns (getting the right revenant monster spawn (and for the enemies to notice you because I had some trouble with that)) and perfect dash jumps up stairs
thanks for the heads up, fixed it
When I do post this how should I set it up? should I try to cram it all into one to make one big full guide or split it into parts to organize it by chapter?
Although not sure how big your guide is, I think it will be clearer to to split it into parts if you can, and post them on the Guide page!
fixing some spots here and there, but when i finish.... i challenge ice to do the run again with a full set of maps :)
The schedule of my job is not fixed, so I can’t know when I have time to run it in advance. But to celebrate the game's release on Switch Platform, I'll try to find time to run it in a few weeks :)
