You have to go out of Phil's place so that the cars spawns earlier, the video is self explanatory. This is slower than current any% strats by about 8s, but it's faster in 100%, because you have rockets already.
The HUD gets broken because of dead E2G, otherwise it's fine. After you instapass Gone Fishing, the mission script restarts, so you need to cancel it with a Taxi/Vigilante sidemission. Dying doesn't end said script.
Still needs to be routed into AM and hundo, if it saves time.
you start e2g first, with a rampage. then the rampage timer ends then you pick up gone fishing then you jump out of the mission marker after the instapass so you wont pick up Plaster Blaster (crashes the game) then gone fishing restarts for some reason, but with the on mission flag set to 0 you need to get rid of the ghost mission script, right? well dying doesnt end it, because you are on on mission 0. nor does getting busted so you use a taxi or vigi submission to cancel it. you can still cancel the mission by getting yourself to on mission 1 then dying, but it's slow and pointless.
notice that you are on omf0 after the instapass. so you just literally get in a copcar, start and cancel vigilante to get rid of the ghost mission<<< then you continue by doing Plaster Blaster or whatever you wanna do
You can set up this trick during the two and a half minutes of waiting during the mission. What you have to do is memorize the package locations, pick up the mission, then get to the docks ASAP, set up the replay while going as fast as possible with the boat, then drive back to Donald's place, and activate the replay after the final package had dropped already. I have not tested whether it's possible to make all of this happen in time, but it should be.
You can NOT pick up the same package multiple times.
Edit: watch Vegeto's VOD Down below for a way faster version of this strat!
Seems to be totally consistent and it's 1s faster than WR when done sloppy like I did. It can be about 5s faster, I think.
Key moments:
- Take the flying route I took, keep low to trigger the enemies. Go higher when you approach the trigger zone for the cutscene so that you don't trigger it.
- Land on the roof.
- Pick up rockets.
- Jump down behind those containers to trigger the cutscene. Keeps you safe.
- Shoot down the heli.
- Go up, kill m16 guy as seen in the vid, on the stairs.
- Get Maria.
Ideas and opinions are welcome!
Hey all,
You can try getting a first try win by holding down F2 (New Game) and mashing Left Mouse Button.
The game resets immediately after you click the first field.
It's a very efficient strat, although I don't have the patience to grind out a frame perfect run this way.
EDIT: Here is a quick summary so that you don't have to dig through this thread to get the info. The strat to get consistent good patterns during Bait is that you touch the grass near Phil's place. Examples: 'touching grass patch' # # (with an intentional shit turn in front of the dam car) # (went behind USJ which usually gives bad dam car, but didn't here) #
For the reason behind this, check out Nick's answer below at the end of the thread.
Hey all,
I and Chivu and Karl and others were testing Dodo Bait quite a lot lately, here are some VODs from my latest testing session.
The video titles are self explanatory, the videos contain the setups.
The purpose of this is to get rid of the Dodo Bait 'pattern RNG', to find a consistent setup. The videos labeled NEW ROUTE have not failed me yet, it's pretty promising. EDIT: The new route is bad, but the 'grass touching' and 'barracks touching' works well, good pattern every time.
