Hi !

A new thing I recently discovered about stools is you can take it from a level to the next in some case. I managed to do this in the Fortress of Tell Halaf and in the Gorges of Orlok. But I guess it cannot be done in some levels for which you'll have a cinematic at the end (Karum for example)

I try to find some skips with these stools in the Mines of Kelbegen and in the Fortress of Nemrut but nothing yet. There is already stools in Nemrut but not from the beginning of the level.

For now, the route through levels is: Marakamda --> Tell Halaf --> Kelbegen --> Ephyra --> Karum --> Shalatuwar --> Orlok --> Nemrut --> Nejeb --> Al Farum --> Xshathra --> Ianna --> Dal Gurak --> Abyss. But I know you can take some alternative route, so I'm wondering if these stools could be used in other levels. Swapping for example Kelbegen with Tell Halaf would result in bringing a stool in Ephyra which is not the very useful (in this case) but could be for other swaps.

It's not so consistent as it seems because you can not see the stool underwater ... Concerning the skip in the Island of Karum level, it sometimes behaves differently, after jumping from the top of the building, you are "on" the window and you have to roll to get through.

For now, I only managed to use it on other portcullis in Tell Halaf (close to the beginning of the level) but it did not work on both sides. We can already pass through a portcullis in Shalatuwar due to the stair step behind it (I guess), but for the other ones, I did not succeed with the stool.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick answer. For now, I only practice for the bad ending but it could be interessant to do both as the overall route does not change so much between both endings.

I've managed to record both skips yesterday but it was my first time using OBS so not very smooth recording (probably due to the chosen settings).

First video concerns the stool + portcullis skip taking place in the Fortress of Tell Halaf:

The second one is about the other skip in the Island of Karum level:

Hello everyone,

I would like to run this game as I've played it for a long time. It will be a first time running a game for me, so I'd like to do things the right way.

First of all, I'm wondering why there is none run with the bad ending.

I'm looking to implement new strats that I've found :

• Stool + portcullis (Fortress of Tell Halaf): I've found that you can get through some portcullis using a stool in front of it and jumping on it. I'm wondering if this is allowed as there is a used shortcut in Shalatuwar Fortress but without a stool. For now, I've managed to use it in the Fortress of Tell Halaf, but it may be useful elsewhere.
• Island of Karum: I've discover that you can get into the building where you get the tower key (by passing through a "window") without performing the long jump.

I'll try to upload some videos soon to show what I'm talking about. I'm planning to run the game during the Christmas period, still practicing now.
