Hard agree 🤣

Huh?

made me look real bad lol

I'm not sure the mechanics exactly of why it disappears, but the short answer is you can do camera manipulations to despawn it. When you get to the building just under and to the right of the beehive (where you'd normally shoot the fireball from) If you go far enough to the right (I go past the chimney) then you need to jump in a way that you gain just enough height needed to get to the top roof (meaning if your jump is too low then you don't make it on the roof, and if you see a gap between your feet and the roof before landing then your jump is to high). It's a bit hard to explain that jump, but I do it at 3:18 in the video (3:03 on the speedrun timer). the jump has to be exactly enough to get you onto the roof, no more, no less. I'm not very good at explaining, but hopefully that made somewhat sense. :)

Hey :) the reason we switch to thief 3 is because its movement speed is just so much faster than the wizard that, even in just the final 2 rooms, it saves time. Even with having to do extra costume switches :)

Not a TAS, You can despawn that guy by having too many enemies loaded at once, this is done by loading 2 dogs and the man in front of the palace entrance. One of the dogs is hard to see in this run in particular, but you can see it come onto the left side of the screen very briefly as i jump up to the green building at 3:26 ish. the other dog can be seen going to the right of the screen, and then I jump up to the 3rd enemy to make the despawn happen. All 3 of these enemies are close enough together and close enough to the flashing guard that it gets overloaded and disappears.

@@xJackieBx oh awesome i didnt know that I realise this is an old video but this was an amazing run

Its a glitch in the sourcecode. Levitating at the right position will crash/skip this part of the fight.
