Heya,

I'm currently in the process of playing through this game casually still. But I found a few things which I wanted to bring to attention of any runners. Sorry for all the twitter links, I recorded all these with the switch capture.

First, found that I can do a bomb jump with the regular bomb on the bottom and a remote bomb on top and a well timed jump, and I ended up getting the broken blaster early essentially after the lab was unlocked and having 10 moonstones for the repair. https://twitter.com/Shauny7188/status/1343640092364005377?s=20 https://twitter.com/Shauny7188/status/1343640681810599936?s=20 https://twitter.com/Shauny7188/status/1343640810521206784?s=20

but I've had access to the blaster for all the bosses after the first kobold fight in the castle.

The second thing I found was a weird quick kill to the robot. https://twitter.com/Shauny7188/status/1343377996904767488?s=20 From what I could gather, I got stunned and put inside, and me mashing a became a attack prompt even though I wasn't using any stamina. I think it was from both of us being stunned at the same time.

both of these things I found are on the current switch patch. but yeah, wanted to pass this along incase it could be useful for others.

Cool finds. Getting the blaster has early been documented here: https://www.speedrun.com/phoenotopia_awakening/guide/15eym those bomb boosts are possible with just regular bombs, no remote bombs needed. I use that trick in my Zero Trial run actually, it's pretty much a replacement spear bomb

That Wrecker kill is pretty sick, seems too situational to be useful in runs though

ahh, cool.

I wanted to make sure I posted them before I forgot. I'll be sure to take a look at the guide later, I definitely want to pick this up as a speedgame.

and I figured the Wrecker kill would be situational, but its kinda goofy it happened though.
