hi, maybe this will help you, i made that ages ago they are all permanent.

Hello folks, my name is Amawolf!

I am a devoted speedrunner from Austria, mostly "known" for my speedruns of The Evil Within! I am really having fun as I am writing this thread with Uncharted 4! I am currently on my 3rd playthrough of the game and I am really into exploring it! I learned the "boat clip" 5 minutes ago, as I am watching the WR run step by step while doing my 3rd playthrough! I am grateful for every little tip you can give to me for speedrunning this masterpiece of a game! I do own the disc version, so it might be good to run version 1.00? How should I use RTA for my upcoming streams of the game? (I know that RTA adds at least 30 minutes to the time, but splits are nice for the viewers and nice for me to have some references) Have a nice day, I hope I get some replies :)

Hi!

Yes casual is the fastest difficulty for speedrunning TEW! It saves time in CH1 for example, because you don't have to lure the Sadist away, you can just run right in front of him (watch my Casual mode runs)

Ofcourse enemies are not really aggressive overall, and there are way less dangerous enemies like on Nightmare or Akumu (Ruvik Puppets in CH3 & CH4, Sniper in CH11, only 1 Ruvik Puppet in CH11, etc.)

Also casual mode has the fastest Machine Gun part in CH15 right before the last phase of the final boss fight! Cutcene triggers faster, because the boss takes less damage I guess! Also, if you are really lucky you can 1 shot the final boss during the last phase on casual mode (Happened to me 1-2 times when the game was released, idno if they patched it)

Should I/We add "all" the Segmented runs and WRs to the leaderboard?

So guys I was thinking about 100 % for quite some time now. My Thoughts so far:

• start New Game on Survival Mode (gel values)
• collect all keys+open all lockers (which means we have to kill CH10 Laura)
• collect all 28 map fragments
• collect & use all 5 (CH3, CH6, CH9, CH11, CH14) med-packs
• max out all of Seb's stats
• rescue the lady in CH4 and kill the giant pig
• kill Sentinel in CH6

I would not say that all notes, missing person flyers, newspapers and audio tapes are required, because there is no reward for collecting them.

What do you think?

General Shortcuts:

TEW = The Evil Within SS = Single Segment Seg = Segmented (Run) NG = New Game (start from a New Game file) NG+ = New Game+ (start with all unlockables, everything maxed out, etc. you can download a full NG+ Savestate for PC in the "Guides" section) IGT = In-Game-Time(r) RTA = Real Time Attack, using an external timer such as LiveSplit or Wsplit FCP = Fighting Chance Pack (every TEW runner needs it! :P) CH = Chapter, if you read CH3, CH10, etc. it simply means Chapter XX CS = Cutscene, "watch CS, skip CS" etc. RNG = Random Number Generator, you can simply call it luck. "The locker RNG (related to the items) is good today. AI = Artificial Intelligence, simply means behavior and reactions of enemies and your partners.

Weapons:

Gun = "Normal" Handgun we receive when finding Connelly, you can't skip/miss it. Bow = Agony Crossbow SG or ShoGu = Shotgun SR or just Rifle = Sniper Rifle RL = Rocket Launcher, NG+ only. Knuckles = Brass Knuckles, NG+ only MG = Machine Gun, NG+ only

Hi everybody, you may read about the pause trick while browsing the leaderboards.

What is the "Pause Trick"?

The Pause Trick can be (ab)used to manipulate the In-Game-Time(r) [short=IGT] It is not allowed to use it for Single Segment runs (no saves). I, personally have no problem with it, when people use it for Segmented runs, because on a Segmented run you HAVE to do everything, that cuts out IGT, (like reloading checkpoints to skip cutscenes and stuff like that) so the "Pause Trick" is just another technique to save In-Game-Time. It is nothing new, it exists in Resident Evil 4 aswell.

How this this work?

Everytime a skip-able cutscene comes up (skip cutscene by holding B or O) the IGT does not stop, for example in Chapter 1 at the very beginning, on console versions you have to watch the first CS until the police car makes a turn before you are able to finally skip it. But if you pause here, the IGT will stop and the cutscene will be loaded in the background, with shortens up the time at the chapter-end, because the timer simply stopped for a few seconds.

Here is a video, pay attention after the loading screen.

Hi everyone!

My name is Amawolf, 23 years old, from Austria. May some of you know me for my Resident Evil 4 Speedruns! I speedrun since April 2013 (RE4). I think I have a good eye and knowledge for tricks and glitches because I love to watch speedruns of other games and to understand what is going on!

But I really don't feel to play/run RE4 anymore for several reasons, maybe next year again..we will see

My main game for now is The Evil Within! I finished it in under 4 hours already! Don't get me wrong, there is so much room for improvement and glitches and stuff, but I am proud of it! So a TEW thread would be nice to find other runners or people who want to get their gameplay on a better level :)

Here is latest TEW run if you want to rewatch it: http://www.twitch.tv/amawolf/c/5513662

have a nice day :)
