56:57 Any% PB analysis for BehLev (Possibly helpful tips for beginners!)

Feeling a bit bored, I've decided to embark on an analysis of your PB run @[BehLev](https://www.speedrun.com/users/BehLev), (as you said you don't know **how to save time in it**), specifically the 'Any% in 56m 57s.'

# **[Run link ](https://www.speedrun.com/hp3pc/runs/ydglk7jy)**

# Why reading this?

*Well, maybe you should not...*

I only wanted to point out some moment for BehLev specifically, and not something very general for everyone to read, but it's now so large, and I've spend like 3 hours writing this for some reason, so it's no longer fits into single comment under the run.

If you are a beginner hp3 speedruner, and somehow clicked on this page, this may help you understand some lesser-known details, if you watch the BehLev's run and follow along my notes in this review. Some of the notes are also referencing useful videos to watch for strats, (besides ones that are well explained in the main [guide](https://youtu.be/DqcYk77LhA8)).

> While it might be a tad lengthy, there's a chance it could offer some helpful insights. - ChatGPT

Talking about me, if you are wondering if that will be helpful to read or not, I'm not very fast (my PB is [51 min](https://www.speedrun.com/hp3pc/runs/yvvx6nxy) at the moment of writing this), but I've learned a bunch of small details of this speedrun, which I wanted to share here in this somewhat strange format, using **[Run](https://www.speedrun.com/hp3pc/runs/ydglk7jy)** by speedruner BehLev as an example, and go though many common mistakes, that can help beginners to get bellow 55 without much trouble. I also assume that you have already watched the [ guide by Myelin](https://youtu.be/DqcYk77LhA8), and this [extremely helpful PB analysis by Tedder](https://youtu.be/_XSdeRjn15I). You also should probably watch some [runs from WR holders.](https://www.speedrun.com/hp3pc/runs/z5xegq5y)

**(some description parts here improved with chatGPT, so it looks a bit weird)*

**(split names are weird Cyrillic stuff because referencing BehLev's run splits, but they make sense if you just follow along timecodes)*

**(timecodes = video highlight timestamps, not livesplit, most of them are done after something happened, not before, so my logic for the potential reader is: you watch the run, something is going on, you look at timestamps to see my comment about it)*

- 33:30 - Unfavorable double jump (+1).

- 34:25 - The trick is tricky; avoid jumping immediately after the barrier goes down; there's about a half-second delay (+35).

- 39:03 - Casting on it first is the way to go, not what happened (+5).

- 45:06 - Nice AFK moment (+2).
- 45:15 - Oops, a fire miss (+5).
- 46:06 - Good RNG with imps; could potentially be a bit faster, but RNG plays a significant role here.

## **Сново летим на Ранчике (about 1:02s timesave) [Carpe final]**

- 48:40 - AFK moment / inaccurate skip (+2).

- 49:17 - A strange way of doing it; try landing on the platform first.
- 50:33 - Alohomora should be first / also a sad 2nd try cast.
- 50:47 - Unfortunate; it might work better if you don't look forward when jumping.
- (Overall timeloss at Carpe is about 1 min without using crazy strats, hard to pinpoint exact moments where you lose time because of the cycle mechanic.)

## **Дай Бог,дай Бог (about 23s timesave) [Transfig final]**

- 51:21 - Slow cutscene skip; smash it before it starts for a potential 0s (+4).

- 53:51 - Nice failed fire; at least you had a 2nd one (+2).

Also, Please ensure you're using the full original [English version of the game](https://archive.org/details/harry-potter-and-the-prisoner-of-azkaban-windows-pc-game) to avoid potential time losses (1min+ based on my experiments with Russian version few years ago) during cutscenes due to translation or animation issues.

## **Main Tips**

- Minimize unnecessary jumps.

- Utilize the Shift key for animation skips.

- Optimize cutscene skips for speed and accuracy.

- Avoid changing settings during gameplay.

- Stay active and aware to avoid AFK moments; learn the timings.

- Resist grabbing unnecessary savebooks.

## **Chapter-specific Tips**

- Поезд в Казахстан (Train to Kazakhstan): Avoid pausing the game while running. Consider resetting instead. Practice more for improvement.

- Летим на фиолетовой тяге (Flying on the Purple Sleigh): If you fail a risky trick, opt for a safe attempt on the second try. Learn faster strats for specific rooms and practice more.

- Ханрид нас ждет (Hagrid Awaits Us): Master clues for F&G skip and practice it regularly. Watch runs that [avoid white rings](https://youtu.be/pKwIpJ81iz4?t=754) to save significant time.

- Энимал Пленет от Гермионы (Hermione's Animal Planet): Focus on small details, and also practice better bunny jump strat and [Maze](https://youtu.be/Xdgl40_KH1Y) skip.

- Лечение деменцыи Люпина (Curing Lupin's Dementia): Increase casting speed.

- Библиотека (The Library): Attempt skip strats / practice.

- Ледяная гора аладайнса (The Ice Mountain of Aladdin): Skip the intro for a quicker start (lol). Find faster [sliding inputs](https://youtu.be/xdWDYDWu-b4?t=1645) and practice the bridge skip extensively.

- Убогие скелетики (The Pitiful Skeletons): Learn stairs room strategy. Sync casts with Hermione. Try casting through the [door](https://youtu.be/pKwIpJ81iz4?t=1974) Minimize failures in salamander room. Optimize casting order for efficiency. Look for time-saving opportunities with last skeletons. Streamline your approach; it's almost casual currently.

- Мы в прошлом (Back in Time): Learn optimal strats for the pixies room. Try [doublecast](https://youtu.be/pKwIpJ81iz4?t=2306), and if not working, cast with Hermione before doing bunny.

- Сново летим на Ранчике (Flying to the Ranch Again): Attempt the first swing; it's crucial. Practice the last room extensively.

- Дай Бог, дай Бог (God Give, God Give): Smash the cutscene skip at the start. Practice dragon movement.

- Гарри улетел... (Harry Flew Away...): Jump above at the start for a better setup. Avoid killing salamanders. Beware of imp/crab trolls. Optimize shield grabs and practice turncasts. Learn the spongify position (use frogs). Keep door jumps simple; it's easier than it seems.
