Many words! Handle it!

Quote from Projekt:

Not sure how much help this'll be but here is the damage boost and the two platters after it. The capture didn't seem to capture the damage boost too well but yea.

Random note on this video:
At about the 9 second mark you pogo down a set of 3 blocks. You can actually cancel your pogo by hitting attack while falling. So you can probably get through that gap after pogoing 1-2 blocks. Not a big save obviously =P

Not sure how useful this stuff will be, this is the first game I've ever speedrun but here are a few things I've found

Single Cycle screen in the first area:

Semi Useful Damage boost in pridemoor keep

The first one's pretty simple, just don't let go of right and you hit the cycle. Thanks though, if you catch anything else, say the word.

Quick Kill for the Iron Whale Mini Boss

it could have been faster by 2 sec if I didn't screw up with flare wand

Nice kill, Jaguar! When you mean screw up do you just mean not hitting it sooner? Or was there something else involved that I missed?

Jaguar King

2014-06-27 05:35:45 pm

I didn't use the flare wand in my first two jumps at him due to bad positioning

I should have hit him three times per jump, two hits with shovel and one with wand

I wonder, does the game let you continue through past that fight if you avoid opening the treasure chest? Or is it mandatory?

Jaguar King

2014-06-27 05:38:49 pm

nope it doesn't, you have to open that chest

Just as a side note semi unrelated to the run, the flickering from damage is every other frame. if you set your recording settings to be something other than 30 fps you don't have the invisibility problems in your video ^^

Are you 100% sure? I just played that part and feel 99% sure I moved on without checking what's in the chest. As the screen transitioned I remember looking at the chest and thinking "Hmm if anything/what was in that.."

Jaguar King

2014-06-27 05:42:58 pm

100% sure, I just tried it myself, you can't skip it

Finished ng+ just now, will definitely stay up to date on this one.

Just some food for thought - you can break the checkpoints to get money.
Wondering if it would be worth it when you're tight on cash.

Looking forward to what we can find guys :3

Ohh wait my bad. I thought we were talking about checking the chest after killing him.

Ok so, plague knight. I found something really cool, im sure a few others may have found it, im not sure. But i was trying to route plague knight for NG+ and was having a ton o ftrouble with 2 rooms. One of them being the room full of pots. This minor jump skip helps immensely. http://imgur.com/ig60M7M

The circle i drew is the position of one of the ghost-like biter creatures that spaawns then moves down and to the left. By bouncing off of his head , you can land where you see me i nthe picture there. It's very helpful to speed up that bit of the level

Oh shit, that's really good, nice find man. The game tends not to let you jump above walls like that, but it's cool that we can do it there.

wow nice find, plague knight stage is stupidly hard

Worst stage, worst boss. Nice little package of bullshit.

Yea, from there you can prpel blade to the right edge of the level , and down thrust straight into the next room

propel* if you are in ng that is

Finally I was able optimize Iron Whale stage, there are few mistakes and plenty of room for improvement

the last area of the stage is extremely hard with those goddamn purple knights. I wonder if I need to upgrade my health

I think this is the best I could do for now
