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 :)

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

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

Thanks :) I'll probably start adding in the new boss strat soon, I mostly just wanted a run that was able to make it through all the regular levels with out any mistakes, as I knew I could save a lot of time from that alone. My sum of best is in the low 3:13's now, and it'll definitely require those new strats if I wanna hit that.

Hard agree 🤣

Huh?

made me look real bad lol

traps are randomly generated every time you play, some times you can see the same trap show up 5+ times in a run, other times it might not show up at all. The reason you don't see traps where you have to wait for super long in this run, is because since it's a speed run, I simply restarted the game, every time I had bad trap layouts. The WR for this game (at the moment of writing this) is 2:24, or 144 seconds, which literally means less than 5 seconds for each of the 36 fragments, so any trap I come up to where I have to wait 1-2 seconds to get past, I'll simply restart since it becomes impossible at that point to beat the record.

I don't have any plans to really put a category like that for a few reasons (I may change my mind later) first is not being able to simply use the in game timer at the end. and other than the "get one fragment and die" achievement, the rest of the run would basically just be playing the entire game 3 times over before actually finishing, which doesn't sound very interesting. I have been trying to think up categories however that add a little more variety to runs, and still allow use of the in game timer. just a few examples I can think of would be something like a 12walls% where you have to physically touch all 12 walls on the ends of each of the 6 layers. Or an Elevator% where you can only grab 1 of the 6 fragments from each layer at a time (ie if you start on the bottom layer you grab a fragment, then go up a layer, grab a fragment so on until you hit the top, then you can start over grabbing another fragment from each of the layers) Again these are just some quickly thought up ideas, that I'll probably toy around with over the next few days.

+JukesAndStuff oh really? haha, thanks for letting me know :)

+Quakes HD there are tutorials on YT about how to do it, just search "how to enter a destiny strike solo" and you should find something pretty quick.

+xJackieBx (ddrmasterdude) ok thanks

+Amr A Thanks mate :D

yeah you alternate gas and break over and over again, you can use r2/l2 or you can use the button equivalents (which is X and square for me) as those are easier to mash than triggers are

thanks man
