I have a playlist here with footage of (hopefully) all known tricks, skips, glitches, etc.

If any new discoveries are made, or if you find that I'm missing anything, please let me know and I will add it to the playlist!

Timing ends as soon as you enter Lair of Death. I adjusted the time for you.

Ok, Then I will Only make keybinds for movement. I will tell you though, my program does have capability to make click+drag keybinds for trinkets & etc, so maybe we should make a requirement to show keybinds before starting a run. I will certainly do this if I ever start recording.

So, I found a way to play Swordigo on my computer. It's the android version, just so you know, so if you're on iPhone, you'll have to shell out an extra 2 bucks to get CD. But more importantly, should this be legal? For me personally, it's going to be hard to transition from mobile to desktop, but once I got used to it, I'd be way more skillful of a player. I personally have nothing against it, but I definitely wanted to ask your guy's opinions. Also, this may be obvious, but I'm using keybinds to play. If you think maybe keybinds are a bit OP for Swordigo, you could make a rule saying you can only have keybinds for movement, sword, magic and potion (mouse must be used for everything else). Another thing to possibly think about is how this could give our community more accessibility. Think of all the PC Master-Racers. Also, going back to Android Vs. iOS, if they're playing on iOS and they skip the opening cutscene, just add 45 seconds onto their official time (I timed it using a rubick's cube timing app). Last thing, if anyone else wants to know how to set up Swordigo on PC, just post a response on the forum and I'll put up a guide (Unless it's decided that PC isn't legal for runs).

I am conflicted. While I think that Saying 100% on the end screen would be simple and makes sense, it also doesn't make sense not to get every achievement, and completing all quests invalidates all of the interesting skips that you have potential to do. I will have to test this out and get some outside opinions from other runners.

I like them and think we should use either 2 or 4. Also, the trophies are guud.

This glitch is probably going to be vital to be able to recreate, and honestly this discussion kind of makes me want to try any% or some funny shenanigans in 100%. If we are defining the category as if the game says 100% after you stop the timer, you're good, then I definitely want to try some things...

I think you should skip the Frost Trinket too. All the corruptors are immune to it and It doesn't help very much anyways. Especially if you're skipping 2 bosses.

Wait a minute... If we're not getting the mageblade at all, then the only boss you'd need to fight is the final boss. Just leave each dungeon right after you get it's respective spell, since that's all you need. Ok actually, you'd need to fight The Overseer too, but, I mean... 2 bosses? Really? Another thing is what level would you be by the time you got to WEK? I think the any% run just became a lot more skill based, so good luck to anyone who wants to try this run...

Ok, so 1 works, should save a little bit of time during the Dwarven King fight. My recommendation is to put fire on armor, shadow on magic, and ice on sword right before the fight begins. Also note, since you're not really gonna care if you get hit, you 100% NEED a potion. Also, 2 works and I'm playing through the game to see if it has any other effects on gameplay or scripting. By the way, the setup for 2 is extremely precise, so if you miss it, I'd say just go get the pot rather than try again. This skip doesn't save that much time, guys. Another thing about it is that it may not save any time at all. You android users may want to get this investigated on your end, but on iOS version I was experiencing framerate drops and increased lag after doing the Ferryman Skip. I wish I knew why, but it fixes when you close the app and re-open it. The game is otherwise normal.

That is partially true, but I had a file that beat the game with 99% on it. I finally got 100% when I got the achievement "Explorer". Not sure if you can get 100% without some achievements, but I think you can. If you can, then we should probably should change the rules of the category to reflect what the game sees as 100%. I'll have to play around with that once I get some more time.

I don't think we need a 3rd 100% category. I just don't think that you would gain that much time by not buying those Items, but what do I know? I think the main reason my time is so much higher is because of skill difference than anything else really. However, if I notice that there is a substantial difference in category times, I'll make the new category.

I will try to test some of these out. Thanks, drgrumble! As for some of these, I know for a fact that while exiting the area from chest #37 (In Wasteland, where you bomb the two rock formations and push the two boxes to get to the house in the background), There is a much faster way to exit that area than bomb both formations again like intended. Instead, what I do is run to the top of the slide area, and pull out a bomb. That should push you out to the other side. Also, I have done #3 before, and will be testing out 1, 2, and maybe 5. I'll try to take video and post that whenever I finish testing.

So, I did make my first run attempt just now, but my screen recorder failed to work, and I didn't find out until the end of the run. So obviously, I can't submit my run due to lack of video proof, but if anyone was wondering, my time was 2:14:31. Don't speedrun games at 1 AM guys. Hopefully, I can get this to work and start sumbitting runs. Anyways, gn all.

So I watched Zack Miller's 1:44:37, and I noticed he never buys the Iron sword, nor the Broadsword, from the first two shops. He does meet all other 100% + CD criteria. Does this make his run invalid?

Hey, drgrumble, if you can't be on very often, I can take over mod permissions, as I'm going to start submitting commentated runs as soon as my mic comes in (probably tomorrow).

Yeah, I tried to reach out to drgrumble to make a new 100% + CD Category, also because I want to start running it.

Ok, so a youtuber by the name of Zach Miller has already taken the top spot in two of this game's categories, however, he hasn't submitted them to this leaderboard. Are these runs only considered WR if they've been uploaded and verified?

Any% + CD in 1:21:35 by Zach Miller

100% + CD in 1:44:37 by Zach Miller

I did the math. To obtain everything in the game, (assuming you get the 999 achievement before buying the magic armor to save time, which is absurd anyways) you need a minimum of 1,629 SS. However without CD, opening every chest in the game will only net you 695, leaving the other 934 for you to get from killing enemies. That's absurd. However, with CD, you only have to get 239 from enemies, which essentially becomes a mere 120 because CD. It's just a much bigger time save than you'd think at first. Also, with CD, you can obtain both the Iron Sword and Fire Trinket before entering the first Dungeon. So surprisingly, I actually think when I start running this game, I'll have 100% + CD as my main run type, and if I wanted to start running 100% - CD, I'd have to reroute my run, at least slightly.

Dr.Grumble, I would appreciate it if you made a 100% CD category. It would actually speed up the run more that you think and make it so there would be some grinding you wouldn't have to do. Also because I intend to start running this category with my friend.
