I've been looking at doing a fresh game run of this game, I've done a fair amount of research and last night did a 2:17 with multiple deaths and many other mistakes. So before I start recording the runs in High quality I want to first, confirm that the route I'm doing will probably be the fastest one currently available, and second to get some advice on the vid-comics if anyone has any, as my current strategies are terrible.
Here is my route, a bit lengthy but very precise:
Veldin-Nothing special here just run through the level as quickly as possible.
Florana-Use the glitch to walk up the tree and skip the first part
of the level, then just run through the path of death and fight quark.
Phoenix-Drop quark off talk to sasha and leave.
Marcadia-Just run through the first part of the level and do the ranger
missions normally but after doing hit and run jump into the muck and activate
walk through walls. Inside the laser defense facility jump around the refactor
and jump through the doors until reaching a pretty nondescript corner, you can
jump through this corner and land opposite the bridge you would normally need
the refactor for, skipping it's only use most of the time, then just finish up
and leave.
Phoenix-Do the first Vid-Comic and leave.
Annihilation Nation-Simply complete as fast as possible.
Aquatos-Run through the entirety of the first part, with little play-around
portions while Skidd is hacking. At the end of this part buy the mini-turrets.
Complete the first half of Clank's portion and then the first tyhrranoid talking
minigame, immediately afterward become ratcher and jump through the wall on the
right and land out of bounds just outside of the wall and turn back to a
tyhrranoid, follow the wall around jump back inbounds and do the final tyhrranoid
talking sequence. I also choose to sell the sewer crystals for an easy 4000 bolts.
tyhrranosis-Start off by wrench climbing the wall to the right and then running
across the roof of the structure until you fall through then hover to the cutscene
start zone. I've seen people use what appears to be a rather time-consuming walk
through walls glitch here, instead I use the turboslider to clip through a wall
next to the door and jump around it like that. The mama tyhrranoid fight isn't
that hard, I use all three of my weapons to fight it though finishing with the
miniturrets to funnel experience into them.
Phoenix-VR Gadget Training:I'm not comfortable with attempting to use the
miniturrets to clip through walls as it's really really hard to do, so I actually
use the hacker for these first three puzzles.
Daxx-Grab the charge boots 1st I throw out some miniturrets to get a bit more
experience into them as the enemies have a lot of experience. I then take the
platform up and using a common glitch get to the computer terminal by going out
of bounds and then using the charge boots to fly there. I timed the 2 paths to
get to the other computer terminal and found that using the islands and skipping
one outcropping of them was about 10 seconds faster. I make sure to finish the
warp-copter with mini-turrets to funnel more experience into them
Obani Gemini-Using an awesome glitch I fly off the asteroid belt and land right
next to the end of the planet
Annhilation Nation-First meet courtney then using scorpio and the terrible 2
level the miniturrets all the way.
Blackwater-Do the missions buying the rifle in there somewhere.
Holostar-Just do clanks part with the fight and everything. For ratchets part
after disposing of the couple enemies right in front of you do three consecutive
really easy megaturret clips to finish the planet.
Draco-jump up and float over to the tube in the first boiling acid part, other
than that just continue normally I use megaturrets for most of the courtney fight
(they're so powerful) and make sure to funnel experience into the rifle.
Zeldrin-clear out the first area with rifle then run through it and back as
quickly as possible.
Phoenix-Do the rest of the Vid-comics.
Metropolis-go out of bounds and climb across the entire level including a charge
boot to the ending platform. For giant klunk I just funnel more experience into
the rifle.
Crash Site-Grab the infernox crate near the beginning, then run through the
level as quickly as possible, going back charge boot from the elevator down
to the beginning area
Phoenix-do final vid-comic.
Quark's hideout-in order to skip warp-pad wrench climb the wire next to the
elevator and charge boot by the second forcefield. Climb up to the snowdan and
do a crouching high-jump off the rock's behind it combined with a hyperstrike to
clip OOB, then charge boot to the higher layer of the building and from there down
to Quark's room. Doing this makes the taxi not appear so climb up by the window
and charge boot to the ice, and go to the ship this way.
Phoenix-run through until the acid pit, then land to the right half way down and
hover up the edge.
Koros-Run through until entering the command center then then when you see the
final bridge double jump and wall kick combined with a hyperstrike to make it
onto the stairs right next to it.
Command Center-after first tyhrranoid talk go out of bounds and charge boot past
a lot of enemies, deal with the enemies here and then megaturret clip above the
door and jump and hover around the room, deal with the enemies and finish the
area.
Nefarious Fight-Basically use everything I have in combination to beat him, then
defeat the biobliterator and finish, also if anyone has any idea as to what causes
the splitter rifles damage to seemingly fluctuate randomly sometimes it would be
very much appreciated, also it seems what does the most damage to nefarious is
firing just beneath his crotch o_0
P.S. I won't have internet for a few days so my replies might be slightly belated.
