Hey,
I just watched some of your runs. How you can create planks while jumping ? It doesnt work for me, I always have to be on the ground to create them?! Do I have to unlock this ?

Welcome to the Future !

there are two ways :
- either you can spawn it a few frame after jumping (used for instance in the out-of-water jump in eldricht passage) It also works with levitation.
- either you have to spawn it while you fall. The timing is hard to get at the beginning, since it doesnt work if you are too close from the ground. However the longest is your fall, the easier it is to perform.

You should also train to spawn it fast, AND at the right place : under your feets (i know this looks stupid, but you'll understand when the planks will spawn above your head or next to you)

Hey guys, I'm happy to see that you are still running it and I'm very impressed by what I saw so far Cheesy

As I said, I will post the things that I've found this week. I have stuff that are going to saves minutes and some little time-savers that you might know, but I haven't seen on the thread.
I might start to run some specifics levels, because there are some which I really like and some which I HATE (Petrified tree), so I don't want to do a fullrun or something like that.
I saw a very good Searock Castle run on this thread and I wanted to give it a try because it looks like a fun level. I found a way a way to glitch into the scenery and to deathwarp to a further location, which skips the entire water part. I like finding glitches like that, and I am pretty good at it. I probably like it more than I like running the game so I'll keep searching.

I still have a lot of ideas, like skipping the elevator on Searock Castle and carrying lava to melt the ice faster on the ice level. Speaking about the ice level, it is possible to skip the first part when you are in a cell for around one minute, I'll show it on the video.
As I said, I'll post a video on youtube when I'll find time to make it. It might take some days because I have some things to do before.

Xevro, nice that you finally returned dude. I tried to find what u described as glitching through doors etc but wasnt sure if I found what you had. I am really looking forward to what u have found : ).

Hi all. This is my first speedrun: 2:18.70 for The Story Begins.

I think there are a couple of points where I could shave a little time off (I missed the boulder at 0:20, wasted a second or two at 0:30, misfired Pontius' charge at 0:60, and misjudged the first pumpkin jump when the Linux sound stutter bug kicked in), but I'm happy with it.

I had some headaches recording at 1920x1080, so I dropped it back to 800x600 and turned down all the settings to get the best performance while recording. GL capture under Linux is pretty imature, but I seem to have gotten passable results with Kazam.

Hi everyone, great to see a bunch of dedicated people here and a huge thanks for your efforts!

I've followed the videos and times around here and pretty much all of you have deserved the gift pack. Smiley

So, please send me your user name, real name and address info to mikael@frozenbyte.com and we can get you the prizes.

Also the competition is still open until the end of the 28th, so late comers hurry up. Wink

Exoray

I would be one of the late comers for sure Smiley

I've practiced and learned good timing for the infinite plank jumping so all it takes now is for me to sit down and do some full level attempts.
Seems like the 28th is the only day I'll have available for that so hopefully something can be produced and uploaded during that day Smiley

I'll give a shot at it as well. I'm not familiar with the tricks so need to learn stuff first and fast, I'll see if I can cook up something Smiley

I explained pretty much everything on the description, here it is :
I'm gonna try to record a level to be in the competition right now Tongue

Wow, Xevro. That's some crazy stiff right there!

By the way, is the original post still being updated?

Nicely done Xevro, finally I dont have to watch that cutscene in the beginning of level 12 anymore ^^.
Most of the other stuff I already knew tbh, but glitching through everything looks so easy now :D, should save a lot of time : P.

Great to see runs being posted!

I haven't disappeared, however I have been awfully busy. I'm away from home visiting relatives in Scotland right now but I'll be back tomorrow and should have a chance to check everything over and make all the updates.

Happy running!

Sorry Xevro ^^ when I saw that time I thought to myself damn we have to get this below 2 minutes somehow : P, well I managed to do it ^^.
Only barely tho, but its quite hard to save seconds in this stage :X.

moooh

2012-04-28 02:11:22 pm

Well I had a 1:33 Mudwater Dale where I wasted 10 seconds on failures at the frog. Should get it down to 1:20 if all things goes as they are supposed to.
Unfortunately I won't have time to get it, encode and upload the video before the competition ends but I'll keep trying over the weekend anyways Smiley

Welcome to the Future !

Yeah guys, this run is going to be great !
By the way i tried to record the runs, but i'm afraid i won't even be able to send a video for the frozenbyte's speed championchips...

However i'm glad to see the run is growing faster and nicer Smiley

Hey Guys,

I just got a 33:27 and I wanted to share it with you guys, still some mistakes in it ... when i rewatched it I was supprised, during the run itself I didnt really recognized how much time I lost, now I think I should aim for atleast below 33 as a submitable time, depending on what kind of mistakes I do.

http://www.twitch.tv/aphox/b/317190783

Sorry for the stupid cut at the end btw, I had a few seconds extra in when I highlighted it but seems like twitch did cut far before I wanted it to... you can barely see the end time when I give the dragon the last hit : P.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. I think there might be a few things in this run which I havent posted so far and only found recently, like in searock castle where the lightning strike destroys the bride and u fall down u can grab urself through the small hole in the wall directly into the room instead of going all the way down.

Serial_gamer

Welcome to the Future !

Good job Lordy

the run is pretty enjoyable to watch, especially loading times which are soooo faaast !
just kidding, there are some really good moves such as the hole in the wall in searock castle. I just noticed few wooden platform you ignored, but nothing serious.

The one thing that might be improved it the full-of-monstuous-plants passage in the hushing grove : passing above everything is quite good, but i think going the way down is quicker since there is wood everywhere ! However this way is sometimes glitchy : the plants sometimes eat you even though you are 10 meters far from them !

Oh yeah I tried to get a way down there which would be faster, but couldnt really find a decent route there. If you ever have the time to record a good route below I would be interested. I still have trouble with the flowers at some points in this level, you really have to make sure to not switch characters during that period before you have really landed on the ground or else some flower might even eat you which is already off screen lol.
I must admit tho Hushing Grove is most likely my worst level : P.

I think I am going to train a little more until I get these times frequently and then start recording to get below 33... dunno with which time I am going to be satisfied tho ^^.

Welcome to the Future !

My route was falling down to the rotating platform (the very first wooden platform if my memories are good) and dash on it, then i make my way undernieth the platforms.

Hi there, i'm bumping this thread by talking a bit about the expansion of trine 2.
Some bugs have been fixed :
it's no longer possible to use the levitation glitch
it's no longer possible to use spells at the beginning of a jump

By the way, can a "zoya-only" run be considerated as a category ? I crossed the whole game (but not the expansion yet) with our sexy thief, and every enigma can be solved.

Here is a silly way to finish searock castle : it might be ridiculous, but this is the only way i found !

Are people still speedrunning this game after the latest patches? I just bought it for the Wii U and I was hoping I would see some recent speedruns for the game.
