So, heya everyone, Shime here!

Been grinding the game for a couple of days and since I started, I noticed some stuffs around the game that needs to be shared for the ones who want to know more about the runs.

So, in general, GA II works exactly as the first game- Every spawn is default and they avoid the down stab attack if you press too early, although here we use more the mounts than the first game.

Yet, Tyris is the best/quickest character in the game, due to her magic making the boss fights more easier. It's the best character to start speedrunning it.

Gilius is still fun and he has the quickest first stage overall, since he can due 2 tackles with the mount + a level 3 magic to kill the giant faster (going around 1 sec. faster than Tyris, who can't use magic to preserve to second stage, and 0.5 faster than Ax, who has a lower level 3 magic, but can use it against the first boss.) and makes the RNG on the first camp a lot quicker, together with Ax (making it 3/4 seconds faster overall)

Although Ax uses the same strats as Gilius, he also has the same problems on the first game (for ex. not reaching the end of the screen with his dash attack), which makes him the hardest character to deal with, still he's faster than Gilius because stage 2 forwards his magic outstands Gilius'.

About the glitches, Raffmonster reported about making the black skeletons on stg 4 clipping through the wall and instantly dying as if it falls into a pit. That probably happens when you press the enemy too deep in the wall that it ends entering there and going all way down (I could do that on the black enemy on the third stage, near the stair).

There's a skip you can do in almost every stage start. Basically you skip the character's walk until where you're able to control it on every stage transition (except the first one). It needs to be studied, but that can save a couple of seconds if made it perfect.

That's it, that's some notes I had while grinding this game, hope you have fun!
