Nice Forgotten Gate run Fatalis. 0:58 seems very possible seeing how Totec was well ahead when reaching the exit. And with the desync it might be possible to break the level in a whole new way, I want to believe that despaning the crushers or pulling Lara through them leads to something. I also love the fact that there's at least six diferent ways to bypass the gate now.

Btw for a faster (compared to using a spear maybe a second or so) desync in Stronghold Passage, do the backflip spawn trick on the right side of the gate and have Totec jumps towards the load zone. Everything about it is very random. And for an ultimate solution, just jump through the center of the gate. We managed to do it once and have no explanation as to what the hell happened, no effort went into it.

Considering I was able to do it with only one bomb to get over the gate for Temple Grounds, that will be the best method for ILs, but for a full game run I think the double bomb might be best. I need to practice it, though. Doing a bomb jump or maybe a double will make Mirror's Wake MUCH easier on the PS3. Seriously, a lot of the strats are harder on the PS3 version.

Wow... this is seriously crazy. I'm glad this game is even more broken then we thought, YAY!

A lot of new stuff in one day.. and here's more. I made an in-game timer monitor program for the PC version. It's 100% accurate and uses the same time that's posted to the leaderboards. The PC runners (all four of us) have agreed to use this instead of RTA for run comparing. See the readme file for more information. Source code is included.

Got some new records this evening. Here's the updated Xbox360 leaderboards for single player

EDIT: got more new records. that makes 8 new WR in the past few days

Xbox 360 single player
ToL - 2:39 (NEW)
TG - 0:55 (NEW)
ST - 1:32 (NEW)
Summ - 0:06.661
FG - 1:09
TS - 3:14 (NEW)
FP - 1:56 (NEW)
JoD - 1:20 (no one's had the patience to do the strat needed for 1:19)
TB - 1:07 (NEW)
FD - 1:54 (NEW)
BotB - 0:15.875
SP - 1:05
MW - 0:35
XS - 4:23 (NEW)
Best overall by a single player - 22:26.478

Still no luck on figuring out a new Mirror's Wake route, but I did discover that the double bomb boost route is the same speed as the stupidly hard method I used to get 0:43.

EDIT: there is a grapple point nearby the lower/harder route on mirror's wake. I wonder if this can be used to grapple jump to the cutscene trigger?? maybe I'll find out when I can get more consistant at that jump

I played some of the X360 version today. "feet resetting" is waaaaaay easier. From what I played, the rest seems the same.

EDIT: It's based on your FPS. If you have low frame rate, it's easier.

Speaking of fps, I wonder if that's what the old Fiery Depths skip was based on (one we used in the 1:17 run). I don't remember how consistent it was but it completely stopped working after I upgraded my computer and started getting 60 fps. Should have probably tested that months ago.

Here's movement speeds, using +3 speed (relics) as base.

+0 speed (no speed relics), running: 11% slower

Full super meter, running: 5% faster

Rolling: 38% faster

Running after throwing a spear (debunked): unchanged

Working on a sub 16 co-op IL table and a sub 23 single player IL table. Both PC version. So far it seems like the co-op time will be around 15:25 and the single player 22:30.

EDIT: single player might be sub 22
EDIT: co-op is now sub 15

I found a new glitch that's only useful in single player. Looks like I have to redo the Temple of Light IL. I need to check the other levels for similar skips.

EDIT: Didn't find anything in the other levels. Got 2:39.784 on ToL with a sloppy run, 2:34 should be possible. Also, first sub 22 combined time.

New JoD xbox time, 1:19.702! first to sub 1:20 on xbox!

looking back into ToL again, thanks for the new skip!

EDIT: i sadly cannot get the glitch to work, either by timing a throw or mashing RT or the Right Stick. is there something more to it?

First, test your spear like I'm doing in the first part of the video. If you see Lara stand midair for half a second, your spear is good. Drop down from the spear and buffer the spear throw input so that it comes out as soon as she lands midair. I tested it on PS3 also btw.

Hold RT the entire time and buffer the right stick?

EDIT: okay got it finally... let's see what I can get on ToL now.... 2:32 but I know I can get better

Updated the leaderboard with video of my 2:37 ToL that uses the new glitch and a few time savers I hadn't done before. Still choked in the room after the fire trap and lost a second or two. 2:35 is my goal if I ever submit an improvement for the IL table.

You put all the xbox times in the segmented ILs, I honestly do not know who else segments. I know I do and will admit it, but I really dont know or can confirm about the others.

Also, after watching your new ToL run, I have a few more ideas and think I can get sub 2:20

I'm told this game is free on XBL right now.
