I just tried to make you and TempoJesus Mods but it's telling me both of you need to go to Settings and enable "Require e-mail authentication" before I can Mod you guys.

Sorry for the wait to verify. Awesome to see another category being ran besides Any%. It's cool to see all the route and trick changes that are only possible with cheats enabled. I saw your post about the total gem count as well. Possible 100% run from you?! >_< Anyways hope to see more runs from you in the future. It's been years since I've ran the game myself but I always love watching them.

@Liv You have already stated why I haven't made @ArgumentDestructif a mod for the game. After 2 years he has still never submitted a run.

Second, about the messages to contact me. Most of his messages to contact me have been through this site. Maybe a few times on Youtube or Twitter over the years but I can't remember. But his consistent account changing has always been weird to me which is another reason I have never modded him.

Third, which you have already mentioned Liv is that he has never posted any gameplay explaining his findings. His posts have either been to:

1. Ask to be a mod
2. Suggest categories (which I did listen and reply to years ago.)
3. Post games statistics (that I have already collected. Again no game footage from him to back up his own personal findings.)
4. Show broken emulator footage (the game only runs on Original Xbox, nothing else.)

So after 2 years he hasn't shown me any real evidence that he cares about running this game. He only cares about the website page, which is why he wants to be a mod. I'm looking for someone he wants to run the game. That's the type of person I want being a mod. ArgumentDestructif has never shown me that. After 2 years of the same posts over and over (with no gameplay or run submissions) I just stopped replying. He's not adding any new runs or information to the game. Once he can show me those things I will totally consider modding him.

I play in widescreen also. I just conform the video to a 4:3 aspect ratio so it doesn't look stretched when I upload it.

Yeah your right about those missed diamonds. After getting that chart from the game developer I went back looking and I did miss those diamonds near the waterfall.

I just want to repost a post I made 10 months ago to make sure you've seen it:

[I got in contact with Stephen Clarke-Willson who was the producer & director of Azurik. He sent me a map from 2001 that tells the total number of gems in each area. http://imgur.com/a/elJ5J

That brings the new total gem count to: S387 E386 R382 D386 = 1541 (That's 5 more gems that MachineDJP missed)

I'm still not one hundred percent sure that this is the final total though because in my playthrough I got S388. So I'm wondering if I'm wrong or something on the map is wrong. Also on the map there are no totals for the Life and Death Realms. So I can only assume I found all the ones in those areas.]

Yes please submit a run of some kind. I've been the only person running this game for over a year now and not having another player push me to get a better time is why I really haven't tried to beat my best time.

Let me know if you have any questions about tricks or routes.

Also here are some videos that maybe helpful:

Azurik - Any% Segmented Speed Run - 1:58:38 - by SillyGoose (Shows the fastest possible known routes for Any%)

I also have a route video for the 100% category (previously called '80%') if you would like to see that.

I don't think CXBX is going to work. There are no working xbox emulators and no one has ever done an xbox emulator TAS before.

I'm just hoping Azurik gets on xbox backwards compatibility so it will play on Xbox One. But I'm not sure that will even happen.

I want to see video of that working emulator.

Good, just been doing other stuff. Haven't played Azurik in awhile. Waiting for you to start playing to give me some motivation to play.

You don't have the game yet? You will be getting it on Xbox One?

No just asked him if he knew the total number of gems in the game and he ended up giving me that map. I didn't want to bother him with a bunch of other questions.

YES finally submit a run!

No French. Only English.

I might replay through the whole game following along with MachineDJP. Getting everything he gets.

I did that for the Death Realm. Just followed along with him so if I missed something there than he missed it too.

I also eventually want to make diagrams of all the levels that show all collectible locations. I already made a few to help me with routing 80%.

Wasn't sure where to post this so I'm putting it here. I played through the game trying to collect all gems to get a count on the gem total in the game. Here's my list:

NOTE MY LIST IS NOT CORRECT.

Total: S388 E380 R380 D383

Pre Level: Beach: S25 E18 R17 D12 Ring of Fire: S25 E18 R17 D15 Town: S18 E19 R19 D19 Flower Pods: S25 E17 R18 D16 Tesla Trees: S18 E18 R19 D19 Frozen Islands: S25 E13 R18 D15 Main Valley: S18 E24 R16 D14 Drill Area: S18 E25 R16 D16 Spotlight Area: S17 E24 R17 D16 Volcano Area: S18 E17 R20 D19 Battle Platform: S19 E17 R20 D19 Conveyor Belts: S17 E27 R16 D17 Fire Caverns: S19 E17 R20 D20 Guardian's Fortress: S18 E18 R18 D19 Water Slides: S19 E15 R18 D21 Air Tubes: S15 E15 R20 D25 Great Tree: S15 E15 R20 D25 Atmospheric Projector: S15 E15 R20 D25 Life Realm: S18 E19 R19 D19 Death Realm: S29 E30 R29 D28

That brings me to the total MachineDJP got in his walkthrough of the game. His total was: S386 E383 R381 D386

That means I missed some gems he got but I also came out with 2 more Sapphires than him. So I don't think we can one hundred percent confirm the total of gems in the game for the 100% category.

No Gems - NO. That would just be Low% which I've thought about but it doesn't make sense for this game. I mean you're pretty much not getting gems anyway in the Any% category.

No Kills - NO. In any category you should be getting kills anyways because it just wastes time.

No Power Storage Glitch (PSG) - YES. I like this one. It would change up the route a lot. It can be called "Any% (No PSG)"

Expert Mode - NO. For the same reason I stated above.

I haven't had time to start recording the segmented run. I can upload the route video if you want. It's really roughly cut together but it shows the basic route.

Finished routing the 80% route. Just have to record the Segmented run now.
