You don't need a weapon at all.

1. Walk into the corner in the video.
2. Adjust angle until you're bobbing up and down a bunch.
3. From here, if you stand still and lightly tap forward, you'll slowly cycle through the bobbing up and down positions every time you tap
4. Tap forward until you get the position where Flynn is extremely low
5. Go left and you fall.

I think what's happening with this glitch is that you're simply standing at the height of the floor on your right but inside the floor to your left, so when you go towards the left you just fall through.

I did a few experiments with this. If you try to take the 4th floor shortcut when Alraune's domain is up, when you reach the 3rd Floor her domain will be blocking your way. I was hoping some trigger behind it would let you skip the domain but nope. You can't activate the domain either, so you softlock. Also, if you use this at the start of the game, to go to floor 2 before you get the quest to get the ring, the chest won't be there. It will spawn as soon as you clear the quest to get 3 demons. The trigger preventing you from going to floor 3 is also not there until you get the 3 demons, so you can use this as an alternate way to reach floor 3 early.

Since this early Minotaur thing doesn't work I really doubt anything would. The game is probably really strict with the triggers. Our best bet would be something like falling through the floor to go around a boss' trigger. For example falling behind Medusa's trigger to possibly skip her, but even that might not work. It would be really cool though if we found some useful OoB. I tried looking in other places but I had no luck.

Hi It seems some people don't know but there's several runs of this game on nico. I'll link them, maybe it'll help someone here. They only use IGT but you could probably manually check RTA if you care. I made a list of all the IGTs (per stage and total) a while ago so I'll just throw that in a pastebin along with the videos. I'm only linking part 1 generally the other parts are on the video's description: http://pastebin.com/reCAAr0R

Maybe you guys already know about it, but don't do it since it's so unreliable:

It's worth messing with it a bit though, I think. Don't think it's gonna be worth it on Easy unless there's a consistent method, but maybe for other difficulties. Also if Suzuka dies from OoB, other enemies might too. I can't remember if any of them have any moves like a dash though.

I found this casually over a year ago but forgot all about it. Remembered thanks to seeing howdenking's run on speedrun.com's frontpage the other day.

Is it alright if I use this thread too? I don't want to make another thread just for one request.

Could someone please add these games: http://www.speedrun.com/swr http://www.speedrun.com/soku to this series: http://www.speedrun.com/touhou please?
