Since we did a vote on January 25th, 2023 all Max Casualties runs now require the players to kill all muds in Rupture Farms manually. Since that is the case all previous runs have now become invalid. This forum post will serve as a resting place for the previous runs that existed to memorialize them and also allow people to witness how strats are done.

Old VERY OUTDATED information inside of these guides. I wouldn't recommend using them for learning, but they are a part of our game history.

HOW TO SKIP PARAMONIA AND SCRABANIA (ANY%)

In the Monsaic Lines after collecting the bell chime, walk in and out of the bee screen and slide into the bees. Get attacked by them and then get Abe to face left. Wait 3 seconds and then sneak three tiles and after the third step, let go of the sneak button and the glitch should work. Run towards the ledge and press down. Face left and then do an auto turn delay glitch by facing left and pressing up and run away from the ledge.

Climb up the platform and then run and slowly walk towards the ledge. Climb up the ledge, chant to possess the bells and then run and slide into the door.

After rolling past the native Mudokon, get into a roll into the screen and after rolling three tiles, press left and Abe will jump backwards.

Make a run and jump and slide into the door.

When you get to the screen with the mines and the Sligs, hoist up, jump and then roll into the bombs. Press down and then run into the next screen. If you can roll into the bombs and time your pressing down perfectly, this will be faster.

After sliding into the next screen, chant and run 8 steps and then press jump. You should enter the bird portal.

Sligfantry's YouTube video should explain clearly what I do but he manages to do the glitch without going in and out of the bee screen.

Tricks

RuptureFarms At the Grinding Area screen, wait until you seen the first rock move then run and jump. On the screen with the Slig and the meat saw, Chant, and walk a few frames and then run towards it.

Stockyards Escape On the screen with the sleeping Slog, slide towards it, chant, and then jump over the mines whilst the Slog dies. The slogs do have random movements on each attempt. Sometimes they close their mouths which will change the movement with Abe.

Monsaic Lines You can run past the slingshot Mudokons as soon as they close their slingers.

Scrabania Whilst Elum is getting stung by the bees, on his 'second' move, start climbing down the lift and he'll go down with you. You can rapid-fire password inputs. Towards the end of the level with the flying mine, tell Elum to "Wait". His howling will not wake up the Slig.

Scrabanian Temple The Scrabs have random movements between attempts here. Watch out!! Take the left door first, then the second, then the bottom one - Don't take the well, climb up towards the top right room with the bats.

Scrabanian Nests Do a slide towards the ledge where the lever is to kill the Scrab. Then walk and jump towards the lever and then enter the door.

Paramonia Do a slide towards the lever to kill the Slog. On the first password screen, make sure to throw a rock so you can collect three new rocks to perform the rock against the wall technique to blow up a mine below.

Paramonia Temple On the last door, if you press up and right whilst running, you'll safely climb upon the ledges.

Free Fire Zone You can use Abe's head to blow up a mine. If you find this difficult, there is an alternative route. You can de-activate the electric fence and collect a rock to blow up the mine.

Zulag 2 The fastest door order is = right, left 1 and left 2. Note that if you're doing segmented style paced strats up to this point, then the game might crash.

Zulag 3 In the first room, you can simply jump towards the lever instead of blowing up the Sligs.

Zulag 4 Throw a grenade towards the Slig in the green Slog Kennels to save killing slogs.

Emulators (Temporarily Banned)

MarkTheW0lf2 years ago

Hello community members,

In recent times we've been discussing emulators. This has been a controversial subject and has had different arguments on both sides.

As a temporary solution, we are going to ban emulators until more research can be done on them. We as a community have to know what is being changed with the game, what different emulators do to the game, and how we can best utilize them once they are finalized.

For now, any and all emulator runs are going to be rejected and can be resubmitted/reviewed when the research has been completed in the near future.

Thank you to @fknMirky for the suggestion on this problem and I wish the rest of you luck on all of your future runs.

Hopefully, emulators will be finalized within the near future.

Sincerely,

~Marcus Raxal
