I just got back into the speedrunning of this game, been trying to get my time back down to what I had. Should've been obvious to me but to get consistent minotaur you need to run back to the entrance so the minotaur will always run straight and you have access to his back instantly.
Might be obvious, but I also want to check to see who is still around. So if you stop by drop in a message real quick.
hello bro, i'm preparing my run for my childhood game and I wanna know how u manage to do 2h24 only ? where did u gain times ? i mean for sure Athenes can be full optimised but Saturn's gate and Death and Circus looks pretty hard and long and u only did 20 min for both that's insane ngl, i was hoping for a 4h run but realised u only did 2h sooo idk what to do
Hey, I'm glad you're taking a run at the game, I'm glad more people are looking to try it out. It's a lot to explain about how to cut time especially since there are a lot of little tricks that need to be done in the run. Athens is definitely a run killer since it's such a long level that includes a lot of running around, and to be honest it still gets me a lot of the time. For that, I would suggest trying out the routes or getting extra familiar with where enemies spawn compared to where you are (Yes, where you are on the map affects where some of the spies spawn). As for the last 3 levels, I haven't fully figured them out either, the priestesses are very random, death and circuses and its hoards of enemies slows me down a lot, same with gods of battle (I definitely got a little lucky in my record runs). I can tell you a little tip for the final boss though. You get 1 roll, then after that if you try to roll around him again he will jump across the arena. Other than that, little tips like shielding after a radial attack to cancel the lag animation, or pushing NPC's you need to escort by walking behind them with your guard up but not pushing them away from their checkpoints also work. If you want more in depth stuff I could try to make a guide if you want but I'm glad you're trying the run out.
