Yeah I saw u do it in your vid, cant copy it tho. I tried over 200 times and it just doesnt work for me :x

Don't ask me why, but it seems to work with zoya and amadeus. Maybe it is just a matter of acceleration (underwater speed is not constant)
My version of the game is update, if you use steam, we probably have the same version of the game... I'll check and see what is my "true" way to pass through.

Yeah I use the steam version, and I tried with every characters and tried to hit the stream at certain point of the swim animation as well as different angles and I never passed through once ^^. I dont know how to do it : P.

Found an instance where the door/floorglitch is useful : P Mosslight Marsh!, I recorded until I had a try which was below 1:30 ^^ and here it is : P. Trick is still very inconsistent though, so its pretty lucky to get it done fast.

Oh YEAHHH ! Thumbs up dude ! (in fact i love speedruns with glitches, and it would have been sad not to use the underfloor glitch)
otherwise the run is good. My route is a bit different

0:09 -> I do not dash right here. I first grab the wooden platform with zoya, then i plankdash.
0:17 -> I pass underneath the wooden platform using the grapplinhook 2 times. Then i destroy the rocks and hook the wooden wall (the one you destroy in your route)
0:27 -> there is an off screen wooden platform (allowing a nice boost)
0:45 -> Hook the spiked trap here : it pulls you faaaaaaar forward
0:50 -> i use a fire arrow on the destructible wall (who protects the goblin with a bow) and I use my grapplinhook on the wooden platform or on the spiked trap). this one may be slower than yours, needs testing...

Thanks Serial, gonna look into these. Would be really cool if I could see you posting vid of whole levels at some point : P. Any chance that that happens in the near future? ^^

Huuumm...

Checking a brand new PC's price
Checking how much money i have in bank...

Answer would be "no" BUT i can record entire levels with a sh*ty gameplay. But honestly playing while recording is not "playing" anymore. This is more something like "pain and punishment"
moreover you probably noticed that timing is pretty important in trine 2 runs (moving platforms/enemies/traps) and failing a move sometimes means the end of the run.
To be honest, the easiest way is that you record sloppy runs, and i tell you where i see improvements, then you can record well-played runs.

I'm affraid I won't be able to record the run for now. So if you are motivated enough to record true runs to submit on SDA, go for it.

SDA is not only videos, it's also a community : i won't blame you for recording a run i was planning to do.
(But take care of yourself when i'll have a new computer ! just kidding Wink

Really nice stuff. I've updated the main post with your times, taking your word on the ones where you gave times and having a quick look in vegas for the others.

I know this is all rather unoffical and casual but it would help if you stopped for a split second at the start of your runs and let the icons fully fade at the end. Really needs to be an in-game timer and it's something I've put to the developers. Hopefully we can get it added in soon.

Hey there, would be cool to have an ingame timer indeed : P, hope they put something like that in the game ^^.

I am going to try learning the rest of the levels in the easter holidays coming up. Hope I can make a full run by then and can compare my times to Serials : P.

Sup Guys, managed to do an ok job with Eldritch Passages, few small mistakes as usual : D, anyway I think sub 3 should be good enough for now ^^.

1:41 Missed casting first plank, ~2 sec lost.
2:04 didnt shoot him directly, ~2 sec lost.
2:20 should have cast plank to get over ~4 sec lost.

Welcome to the Future !

Nice run, some improvements i see

0:10 : a little piece of wood, no great dash, but good to take.
0:25 : two more wooden platform Wink

0:40 : wooden platform above the gear (off screen) then you can grap another platform just at the left of the spider.
0:50 : you probably noticed you can hook the wooden platform through rocks here... I dont know what route is the best.
1:47 : wooood Smiley

2:14 : if you stand at the middle of the "balance" the poison won't touch you. You can throw a hammer (one shot instead of 2)
2:28 : you can use your bow to destroy the poisonned tumor (dunno how to call this thing) and go with amadeus OR jump on the moving platform and dash : you'll be able to destroy it with your sword during the jump (doent work with the hammer)

Oh yeah I kind took it really save here just wanted to make sure to get a decent run going which was under 3min. Some of these wooden platforms you mentioned didnt seem to me like an improvement tho, dunno have to test a bit more with this. Wanted to learn the last few lvls as soon as possible to make full runs.

Thanks for your points tho, I really appreciate your comments.

Finished my first 3 runs today on stream my best one was 38:51 RTA (with loadingscreens etc) I think I can get it to 35 if play really well.

When i check my watch, a run is around 40 minutes long : this time includes loading times and cutscenes. The actual time might be around 35 minutes...

Haha we are not that far in fact thumbsup

I'm glad you can handle the run, even though i basicly wanted to do it (sights...)

It's been a long time I didn't play trine 2, but don't worry I'm behind you !
Go for it !

Thank you Thank you, just got a 37:38 : P, you should join me in chat while I am streaming sometime : P

Catch me at twitch.tv/aphox ^^.

I think I can get pretty consistantly under 40 now, waiting for the first run without mayor fuckups :x hope thats gonna happen at some point ^^.
Guess I am going for the run then, when I started I only wanted to race this game but nobody of my friends joined me in training this game so far : P... AFTERMATH!! Come get me ^^...

Hi there

I was watching around trine 2 news on frozenbyte's website and what did i discover :

Cool stuff incoming guys !

Hi, I'm @mbace from Frozenbyte and we are having a speedrun competition for Trine 2.

So just post a video on this thread and try to stay in the top 3. Smiley

Here is more info copypastad from our blog:

As prizes, we will be sending out autographed retail copies (PC/Mac) of Trine 2 and an autographed “Zoya” discgolf frisbee to all who make it to the top 3 in any level.

Just to be clear, that is one prize pack per person, but everyone who makes the top 3 will get one.

The deadline for putting up a video on youtube is 28th of April 2012 and we will contact all winners the following week.

Cheers!

Welcome to the Future !

hum interresting Smiley

by the way, do we just need to put the video on youtube or do we have to send a link on frozenbyte's forum ?

i played a little bit tonight and here is what i found : We do not need to kill the giant gobelin in icewarden keep. That is pretty simple, it just need explosive arrows on the rocks. I dont know why i didnt find it before.

and there is a way to use the trick i found but that didnt save time in searock castle (climbing the great wall instead of using the lever) You just have to jump on 3 successive planks with amadeus, and plankdash on the last one. This also gives a better dashtiming on this part of the level.

Haha you should have checked out my streams dude, I was always skipping that goblin ^^.

Did you time the 3 plank dash method in searock btw? I remember trying that and it was just tieing the time but I might be wrong.

Oh and from how I understand it you have to upload a video and post it in this thread here at SDA to make it a valid entry for the competition.

Yeah I hope some ppl might join us if they see the news... atleast I hope there will a little bit more competition ^^.

Would be cool to have ingame leaderbords for stuff like this. That way I think far more people would try :P, but lets see...

Just the basic youtube way as before.

I will send some more tweets etc so hopefully others join and we here at the office will do some runs later (just for kicks) Smiley

Exoray

I just finished this game last weekend and am definitely interesting in working on some runs. I'll join in as soon as I've got a submittable run for Stacking done (or if I need a break from that).
I always make all kinds of crazy box solutions to many puzzles when playing this game. However plank dashing is way faster for pretty much all of those places so going to be fun seeing what else we can come up with Smiley
