Two rock skips.

Just a minor thing. Both annoying though.

Good ! With training we will be able to do them quick. The first one is a good one as the usual way we have to wait for the counsellor monologue to end ; the second one is minor, but still saves little time and ammo

Yeah these are really good. Great find.

France

But they're difiicult and annoying indeed ; these jumps are a real engine abuse as they make the delta 38 object rub against high gradients, and mess with the computing of the jump. You can fall back, or bounce, or take advantage of it to climb up. I understood the first one well, i'll make a video for the 100% chance method (more like 70% though). The second one is terrible to make...

Achieving the first rock skip (in 8 steps) :

  1. take mark of this shape, frontier between the two rocks.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6SWVPVzEzVkV5eHM 2) You have to keep aiming at the middle segment.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6R2lDU2h4LVBDRE0 3) go back a little bit, you will see a trace on the ground. Take mark of - (I) the end of the trace - (II) the angle made by your wrist

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6QkVjcFdGSjAwLXM 4) make the points (I) and (II) match.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6Z25aOGxGSmxJRWs 5) run using only the "forward" button and jump at the right moment to climb up this first piece of rock. You have another hindrance awaiting...

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6ZGpvem80bnRwZFU 6) put yourself as close as you can get in the angle, and take mark of the intersection of three textures. (let's call it point O)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6OHJGanQ0MFpyU3M 7) draw a vertical line (green) in your mind passing by O, and use the Nadir method to get as far as possible from O. Now that everything is aligned, take momentum using only "forward", jump and then read point (8)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1qxV0xQRYF6MC1xX2Njelg0dEU 8) DID IT !

If you want not to fall, press "walk". It will block you at the edge of the surface to prevent the fall. It works on this rock like anywhere else in the game

France

Third rock skip :

it's not that hard to make, but I can't figure a 100% chance method, and it will waste your time if you fall repeatedly

France

Fourth rock skip ?

let's dig this

Is this run dead or what ?

I bring you (if you're still there)... the Territory skip !

to do so :

  • be at more than 30 FPS
  • get on the top of the first rock. You have to be on the very top of it, so use 'walk' not to fall. If you are on the top you are likely to fall upon releasing the 'walk' key (because you'd bump on the curved texture), so be sure that you are not touching any direction key when releasing it.
  • then move right and jump. Since you were on the very top of the first rock, you will land at the aimed spot (that was the difficult step before...). There is a high chance to bounce there, so you better press 'walk' again to stabilize.
  • then jump the other rocks and cross the whole scree
  • you can trigger the spider droid figth without problem, and finish the level

is it safe to do ?

  • yes, once you get used to the proper execution you can succeed more than once outta two tries (mind to shock the sbd) and faillure isn't too punitive

what do we gain ?

  • the casual way, we were forced to head to the end of the force field room to trigger the "oh, there's a force field', so to go back and place a 10sec charge. Plus, a lot a droids spawn on the map ; they won't load in this case. so I guess it's a 25sec gain

and once again we prove how the delta squad is nothing but 38 and a bunch of tools

.

I'll add that you can finish Geonosis without anti-armor, by skipping it this way

Yeah I'm not dead and I guess the run isn't either. I just haven't had anytime to play because of school. Good find though. I wish we could skip the walking droid.

oob would be the only solution, because this spider droid is the key to pass the second forcefield ; the only effective way to speed up the fight is to take an elitebeam in Advance To The Core Ship

Australia

It's a nice trick, but without the squad, especially on hard, it might not be much of a time save. Would be nice to know how that magic trick to kill the spider in one hit works.

I'm submiting a run right now, and yes it is a good time save : I managed the spider droid on myself in 15 seconds and completed Geonosis in.... I won't spoil you :)

I forgot to read "especialy on hard" Yeah, you are totaly right on this point, mostly because you can't be revived well... in easy mode it works fine

2nd skip in Advance To The Core Ship a little improvement here, maybe you had it already...

France

I don't really know where to post this, it's not realy a rock jump, but it's still a skip including a jump, and it's in Territory. 15 sec gain, and easy to do
