Is there a reliable way to farm (and max-out) elemental ammo in hard mode? It's almost like I cease to get them beyond a certain point, making it impossible to max out.

Answering my own question (again), I have now found out how to stumble into pre-1rst green rain Sand Grievers. You can encounter them at the entrance of the Ice Belt before you get the fire-chip.

(man, it's really annoying that I can't simply go on Discord and ask those stuff, but if there was anyone other than me that wanted to know, now you know. You are welcome)

I am asking because, on the Discord board, it lists in the enemy's health that pre-rain Sand Grievers have an health of 54:

So does that means they can actually be encountered pre-Green Rain? And if yes, how and where?

I'd ask on the discord myself, but Discord will simply not send me the verification number on my phone to allow me posting there.

Is there a way to encounter Sand Grievers before the first green rain?

Answering my own question and, apparently, it's 9.

3 in the Observation Deck (a bit tricky to save them all and you have to immediately use a missile to save the one who is about to be sliced by a space pirate when you enter; the one on your right when you enter can also easily die if you are not paying attention)

3 in the Courtyard (quite easy to have all 3 of them alive by the time you have cleaned up all space pirates)

And 3 in the Research Lab Zeta (most difficult to pull, you have to get out of the morph ball rails as fast as possible and then go assist as quickly as possible the GF soldier near the entrance of the hangar where you'll have to deal with two space pirate at the same time, but you'll have to start dealing with the 3rd space pirate before even killing those first two, or tat 3rd one will kill an other GF soldier; what matter is that you keep agro-ing the space pirates to tank the damages instead of the GF soldiers)

Also, it looks like the 3 GF soldiers at the landing pad aren't in any risk of dying. And all the other dead GF soldier you encounter were, as far as I know, already dead before you came in.

There is no real reward to save all 9 of them, but it's still a fun challenge, especially on hard mode.

Here is a video about that talk about it (among other things):

I have noticed that not all death in the intro of the game are scripted and some Gf can actually be saved from being killed by Space Pirates. I have tried to search online, but couldn't find a real answer: How many of them can be saved?

Could the Glitchless run have an hard mode option?

Seriously, is there a way to report bot accounts?

And an other bot. Why do they keep coming here?

Thanks.

I see there that in the 100% category, there is a New Game or New Game+ subcategory, but even is the simple "New Game" category, it's possible to play in Hero mode and... I don't get it.

I thought Hero Mode WAS the New Game+!

How can you play in the New Game Category AND Hero Mode at the same time? Are they actually two distinct things? What is the difference?

any mods here able to delete those bot-accounts?

Wait, both of those are spam bots. How do I report them?

It's funny how I get an answer to my question so long after I have asked for it, get a "no" answer, only for the game to now be in the list anyway while the toggle itself is now gone anyway.

(though there are now a few rom hack that shouldn't be in the list anyway and go into the now existing Zelda fan game category: https://www.speedrun.com/series/zelda_fan_games/games)

Steam achievements? Because those can be a bit excessive and sometimes just meme level of commitment.

Doesn't the any% run already include sending the 5th package, though?

If there was a 100% speerun category for this game, what do you think it should entail to?

Last package sent to the space elevator, of course, but what else?

-All the building possible build at least once, this include latest latest version possible.

-All the items possible produced

-All the items possible analysed

-All the alt recipes discovered

-All the hard drive found and analysed

-All the power slug found?

-All the resource that exist in limited quantities also found?

If I am not mistaken, the Doggos also exist in limited number, should all of them be tamed?

I considered at a moment to also include the exploiting all the existing pure nodes, but that seems a bit too much arbitrary and pointless.

What do you think would work best and would actually make sense for a 100% run?

I'd still say that after completing the challenge and champions mode, you must still lose three fights on Mac's last stand to get the credit and lock the career mode.

The credit is the reason you should get the three losses last, especially if the game is measured in real time, as it would add a lot to the time if you were to do it before the challenges or Champion mode.

Fangames shouldn't appear in the main series?

That's what the toggle was for, before the site changed.

If they are officially licensed by the IP owner, then they are official. That's the only rule.

My main issue is when fan-games and Rom-hacks appear in the game listing of a series. Look at the Metroid Series page, for example:

(and the stupidest thing is that there is now a fan-games page for certain series which contain none of the official release, but not the other way around. That make no sense)
