Legend of Kay Anniversary

It looks like the croc temple thing you found is exclusive to the PC version because there's a wall in the way on PS2... Not sure why they just removed the wall there but whatever

Looks like a anniversary exclusive then lol. Unfortunately upon exiting and re entering the temple after collecting the key is has vanished from my inventory so now I can't proceed through the dungeon Sad

Softlock....

EDIT: A side note: There are less chili peppers on the first boar race on easy mode then in normal.

Wanted to bump for this trick in the forest with the rabbits. You can cross the thorns and skip the fight to the two dragon eyes without zombie kay.

Also while looking for this I came across the weirdest glitch where i game overed on the thorns but Kay kept repeating the death animation where he goes up and down and he was slowly moving forward till he hit a wall. I was hoping for him to go into the load zone and possible get some kind of zombie glitch.

Also, I was trying to look for skipping the dragon eyes and there is an area on the left of the cave where you can jump onto some rocks. I've come very close but Kay wont grab the ledge.

Edit: Boarax skip works on Wii U. Also, the death glitch I was talking about.

Thanks guys. Smiley

I'm just in shock for the fact that the developers missed something like this lol.

The fighting in this game is rather difficult to do quickly. I'm trying to think of some strats for enemy hordes (besides potions). In the swamp section I would use magic to take the armor off enemies then switch to the claws and take them out.

Also, I feel like you can reach the dragon cave with placing only two of the dragon eyes. I came close earlier but gave up.

I found bombs to be pretty fast.

I managed to skip the ancestor fight without a softlock. Maybe I got lucky but I'll see if I softlock again next playthrough.

Edit: This trick below is really hard.. Whenever I'm under the top roof i cant jump out and onto the top of the roof cause I get stuck underneath it. Idk if this problem happens with ps2.

Edit2: I found two tricks. The first is a puzzle skip in the ancestor dungeons, it might be old. The second is in the volcano section you can skip two cat statues and should save a couple minutes since you skip a fight.

I actually think we found the volcano trick at exactly the same time as each other haha

Lol I had a feeling we did. Those fight skips are cool you found with zombie Kay in the lava river, I think I'm going to end up buying the ps2 version later on to look for some stuff and try a run. How long do you think a run would take? I'm thinking about 1:30-2:00?

Found a couple simple glitches on PC.

You can move around with the quest menu up by:
- Bring it up with pressing tab
- Exit and bring it back up immediately
You will now be able to move with the quest menu up.

You can get the quest menu attached to the the ESC menu. This can be done by pressing ESC & Tab at nearly the same time. (Not sure the exact timing) If you get it, every time you press ESC the quest menu will automatically open up too and give you glitch #1 as well. Congrats

I sent you a pm MashMelo. That glitch works on wii u as well rocmox. I wonder if it could come in use. I was trying to skip the first mission of the game with it and go straight to the master. Maybe we could find an oob clip somewhere instead. Another cool trick would be to somehow skip getting the two frog amulets.

Unreal found a way to collect part of the froghead amulet early on this version:

I wonder if we can similarly zombie Kay on other things that give text boxes, like armour or upgrades, or even picking up certain items for the first time. Possibly by using a bomb to kill ourselves and knocking back into the items?

That only works on ps2. But you can get Zombie Kay from collecting something out of a chest like a key or upgrade on anniversary. I've tried activating the dragon statues without activating the fights but you cant grab the statues while in zombie kay. I also got stuck behind the barrier when picking up the heart container.

We may be able to skip some stuff in the lava chase section of the later game by getting zombie kay off of a chest for anniversary edition. I just need to make my way to end game and test.

Edit: so I was doing the magic potion zombie Kay glitch wrong and you in fact can do it on anniversary.

My goodness. This made my heart skip a beat. I'm so happy that you guys are running this game. My oh my. I've been breaking cat village a whole lot.. but of no use. I actually found a way to skip the croc temple entirely, however Mashmelo seems to have found it aswell, since he uses it in his run xD. I've found out that (IN EXTREMELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES) you can actually use a bomb to propel yourself through a wall.. i dont know how i did it, but it got me out of bounds in the dragon cave. Best of luck to you guys ^^

P.S I'm probably gonna start running this again now Smiley

Do you have anymore details on this? Were you in a small corner? Also, what version were you on? Pal PS2?

Hi all, I'm the author of the Legend of Kay FAQ/walkthrough on GameFAQs, and am currently updating the walkthrough with a section on speedrunning. Is anyone still running this game?
