KingCheez Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Alright. So I'm doing a speed run (amazing fast-beating of a game) and I'm looking for help. No, you can't play it for me, but any tricks to speed the game up are appreciated. For example, getting Levitation far before it's time (and boy do I need that) getting around Cruller before Basic Braining...crazy things like that. Any tips for beating the game fast (1:39:22 for only going up to Boyd is not good.) are appreciated. When the first draft of the run is done, trust me, you'll see it up here. Also, no need to say "Collect arrowheads in the morning" because I just learned that...for the third time. Anyone who can diagram exactly where to go in what order (just to beat it, not a figment/item collection run) for Waterloo World and the Milkman conspiracy, and anyone who can help me beat Lungfishopolis under 45 minutes gets their name in huge letters on the speedrun webpage. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hm... a good idea is to visit every area of camp real quick at the start, then you can just use the stump to hop around everywhere, other then that good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Squid Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I don't think you can do it in a speedrun... how fast does it have to be in order to be a speed run? The game generally takes a few days if you collect everything, 15 hours if you don't. Do you skip the cutscenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well you have to go out of your way to pick up some stuff otherwise you won't have enough ranks/arrowheads to get into the Milkman Conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, as players of the Demo can account for, there's no way to get past Cruller before Basic Braining. I think it'll be tough to speedrun through the game, there's a hell of a lot you need to do, like get to a certain level in order to buy the dowsing rod, which is needed to buy the cobweb duster which is needed to get through boyds mind. i think it's possible to get through without worrying about psi-cards though, so that's something, and as long as you only use the cobweb duster where needed, you shouldn't have to waste too much time on them. As far as I can see though, the only other way to speed up the game would maybe be to try and get levitation as soon as possible so you can levitate through most of the game, speeding yourself up a bit (although losing a bit of control at the same time).

Purple Squid Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ...holy crap! I beat Lungfishopolis in under 45 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It's pretty easy to do, just don't smash any buildings and shield up when the tanks and stuff come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Lol, sorry, it just seemed to simple, can't say I've ever done it as I've never timed myself, but I'm sure it's mroe than possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCheez Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well. Getting Levitation early is a big hand. This isn't exactly a collection run - it's more of a "minimal run". 1 hour 39 minutes for everything pre-boyd...good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. I only did it that fast because the tanks kept beating me in the face. I ran. I didn't try to collect anything the first time around... in my second game I did. The level just makes me frantic.

KingCheez Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 I did it. On my glitches file, just after beating Basic Braining all quick-like, I decided to use the collision model glitch that every, yes, every game has, and jump off the dock. After many times of failing, and wanting to skip the dumb coming up from the water cutscene, I hit all the buttons frantically- and suddenly Raz pops up from the water and makes one last leap. However, it seems all that happens is Lili says to meet her at the lake at night. Dumb stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosky Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 get the arrowheads underwater. that's a big speed-up. 1200 arrowheads in one area. also, rank up to get the chain-blast, and then don't bother collecting anymore. the rest is simple butt-kicking!
