I have a very good new for the speedrun route : I have discovered a skull skip that allows us to pass the skull boss without buying anything more than what we already use. I'll present it with my incoming new WR run.

Have good runs guys :)

Interesting, looking forward to it. BTW after spending about an hour trying to replicate your tech I still haven't been able to jump as high as you, would you mind explaining how you are getting so much jump height?

Of course, what level are you talking about ?

There aren't any particular levels that need it, just that some levels might become a bit cleaner with it. But as far as testing, I specifically have been trying to replicate what you did on level 1 and 6 because both of those jumps we're significantly higher than I originally thought possible and could lead to some interesting re-routing ie easier skips.

I'll be a bit disappointing, but I have no special set up that allows me to jump higher. In my opinion, if you think I jump higher, it is about my timing. In fact, I think that I keep hold the jump button a little bit more than you seem to be doing (but I may be wrong). I don't know if there is here a way to help you or not. Another interesting point is to be found in the fact that, according to me, I wait a little more before doing my second high jump, so it gives me maybe a little more height. This fact of waiting a little more than I think you actually do can be very interesting (as you said it in your message) for a few skips that I'm trying to work on, but these ones seem to be a little more difficult than the actual skips we use (the timing is about almost frame perfect) for just a few seconds more, so they are not very useful for the moment

Hope it helped you

Interesting, guess I'll just have to keep playing with it. Which skips are you working on, I'd be interested in helping break this game any way I can.

Maybe you've already tried them and I'm just walking on your steps... I have first broken the 10th level as you can see on my last run, but, I also think the level 12's route can be changed because there is a way to pass it with the special jump from the falling head-rock that we go on in the middle of the level. The level 30 can also be ended with only 3 special jumps instead of 4 or passing by crushing a wall and pushing the red button. For the others, I'm still looking for skips.

The thing that is the most time-consuming in our runs is certainly the dialogues that are very, very slow... You've showed us the fact that it ispossible to earn a lot of time in the speaking levels, like the 25, so I'm trying to pass these scenes without success.

Yeah I've spent weeks trying to get pass the cut scenes on level 13 and 27 due to the fact that they seem like they should be skip able, but their trigger is a lot higher than that of other levels. The only suggestion I have for skipping cut scenes right now is that we might try to figure out exactly why we can skip the cut scene on level 18, and attempt to apply that knowledge to those levels.

I'm trying to manipulate the patterns of the soldier in the level 4 to push her to pass through the enemies. I think there is a way to do it, but I didn't make any true routing and setup for the moment. I've once made her follow me by going first to the left of the level and jumping from platform to platform without touching the floor, and she passed most of the enemies, so it was a bit faster, but in my opinion there is a lot of RNG in this level skip

I've played around with level 4 a lot, and it is definitely possible to make it "seem" like she is skipping the enemies, however in reality it is much slower than killing them yourself, about 20 Secs. It is certainly possible that I missed something, but in my opinion the best way we could skip the level would be if we found a way to early exit the level (ie. Beast skip on 29)

You spoke about beast skip two times, but how do you do this ?

BTW I was wondering if the fact of dying and retrying would not be useful to pass the cutscenes. It may be a way to search, also. Are the resurrections able to cancel the cutscenes ?

The beast skip involves jumping off screen at the end of level 29, and triggering ending the level, it works similarly to wizard skip on level 30.

As far as dying during cutscenes go, I've tested it on level 13, not possible. However it's certainly possible I might have missied something.

I'll try to do this skip. Ok, I just wanted to know if it was possible or not. But I think you're right, once the cutscene is on and the King is talking, there is no way to avoid it.
