General Flemoid Tips

Flemoids have no contact damage; They only damage you when they are attacking. So feel free to rub up against them; It won't matter when you consider the next tip...

Zorch attacks don't just deal damage; They also stun the flemoids for their damage animation. This pairs with the above tip; As long as you're shooting with enough firerate, you stunlock the flemoids and can faceroll them for no threat.

When I refer to weapons, I'll usually refer to the doom weapon that they replaced in the original.

I'll see if I can get decent damage stats on the flemoids. A couple of things I know out of the gate though:

Flemoidus Communus takes 3 shots with the pistol or chaingun. I need to double-check, but since they use the same ammo, I'm assuming the same damage and just a change in fire rate.

Flemoidus Bipedicus takes 5 shots with the pistol or chaingun.

Both take a single shot with the Large Zorcher/Shotgun

Flemoidus Cycloptis can be taken down with two shotgun blasts.

I have noticed that sometimes I get extra damage while strafing and firing; I believe the shot is clipping the hitbox in a way that multiplies the damage, but I can't reliably recreate it. A good example occurs around ~0:37 in my NewGame Run, where two shots take out a Communus: https://youtu.be/q406LODmzCs?t=36
Also at ~0:45 with another Communus. Compare with the first in the game taking 3 shots at ~0:20

I'll add in more stuff as I find it, but a couple of observations that I thought would be nice to share.

Goobers experimental strats for bowl%

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

quoting the discord 6:27pm 3/04/2022
"I've done a small amount of research and have formulated a theory that cuts out the mouth entirely. To my understanding, with perfect rng, the atomic makeup of each piece of chex could theoretically allow for the cereal to be clipped directly into your stomach. I would think this would only be tas only due to the unlikeliness of this happening, but maybe"

he also had a rejected run where he used the original chex quest to test his theories on a 12 year old version of the game
he performs the equivalent of a mario back-longjump until he builds enough momentum to skip to the credits sequence of an empty bowl, very interested to see if it ports to CQ HD, but it remains to be seen

Thorpy Skip Tutorial

Why to use Dr. O'ryen

Every character has the same default walk speed, when sprinting this speed gets cranked up to roughly 150%.
When the sprint stops, every characters speed gets reset back to walking speed as you expect, all except o'ryen, who retains some of the speed permanently after doing at least 1 sprint in the level.
This is why runners use o'ryen for any% runs.
