Hello,

I finished this game number of times, and managed to one life clearing it. I'm planning to learn the speedrunning route, but I have two minor problems :

• What is the correct manipulation in order to do accurate long slides ? This prevents me completely to go in the long snowy upper corridor in the last room before Freudia in her stage. Strange thing is : I remember having no troubles going the upper route in the non-Steam version of the game. Did something changed ? I tried different press frequencies, but no real success until now.

• Grolla without weapons is manageable, except if she decides somehow to keep hopping toward me, blocking me against the wall. She does this quite frequently, whereas she seems tame in the speedruns I saw, so I guess there is some king of tricks in order to manipulate her behavior ?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with these details.

Slides are rhythmically timed and are easiest described as being "3 times per second". The Steam and non-Steam releases are effectively the same (someone can correct me if I'm wrong here but I believe Steam to be equivalent to 1.06b).

Grolla's difficult, it's natural for her to leap towards you. My best recommendation is to close the gap yourself -- get closer to her so that if she chooses to leap at you, you have some breathing room behind you rather than instantly being pressed against the wall.

Thanks a lot!

3 times per second is slower than nearly anything I tried; this is probably the reason I couldn't get this timing right.

As for Grolla, yes, I agree it's indeed the best solution if she's just doing what she wants; a bit of a run killer this gal... hopefully tanks exists.

Well, I just have to train now... but probably after I finished the now released Freudenstachel I forced myself not to play until now (I just wanted the hour count...).

Thanks again!
