Architect's Tomb Puzzle Skip

[seekeroftruth69]

can you tell me if im doing something wrong i cant get in i just keep going through the wall then there is a 1/2 sec of sky then its all dark and i cant move or jump and after about 15 sec i die. what am i doing wrong??

[kevbew63]

@seekeroftruth69 you are going too far into the wall. The area you can land on is extremely small. Once you are about to move into the wall, watch for the camera to move to the side at all. If you don't stop your combo immediately, you're screwed. Hope this helps.

[mohitd845]

@kevbew63 thanksssssssssssssssssssssssss­sss

[RazKurdt]

shit, if the dude who speed runed this amzing game knew about all those glitches, he would have beat the game in an hour and a half...

[kevbew63]

It has already been beat on god mode in about 55 minutes. This is an old skip by the way... I have a better version on my channel where you just jump behind that door and don't need the skull..

[RazKurdt]

fifty-fi.....holly motherfucking piece of shit i am to be sooo late...

[forsurenoob]

@kevbew63 rofl, you're awesome.

[101nob101]

kratos:NINJA ...BREAK YOUR NECK TECHNIQIE

woman:OH F***

[gowpft]

how can you do that with the BoA i dont understand that part

[kevbew63]

What part? BoA lifts? square, square, circle, poseidon's rage. repeat.

[afbb1998]

very good !

[Vercetti44133]

wtf is this lol its great

[bionicle005]

can you tell me the combination of buttons, cuz when i pass to the left behind the wall, i don't land in the architect's tomb, the screen puts black and a few seconds after i die, please help me!!!!!!

[DeViLGoD65]

Did you use some kind of cheat?

Cause I noted your magic regenerates without orbs.

[kevbew63]

Check my other vids. I have a demonstration how to get regenerating magic throughout the game on any difficulty.

[KRAUSER0130]

WTF IS THIS?

[shadowpowertimesand]

great vids those shortcuts must be really useful on a speedrun.

[Taylormade595]

How do u do it with out skiping

[KairiSLovely]

sad thing is.. that wasn't the architect's head T-T ..I think

but wau I shudve done that O_O

[cacapula]

does it work when using the bades of chaos as well? cause i'm having some trouble doing it...

[kevbew63]

No, you can't get high enough with the BoC.

[retaliatorek]

@kevbew63 - "Can't get enough high", hehheheh, a good one ;P

[o11ymarshall]

that was nice! how do people figure this stuff out?

[kevbew63]

Thanks. It was just a matter of troubleshooting/ testing and finally something worked. Now we've found the tomb is completely skippable since you can jump directly into the hall behind the door.

[o11ymarshall]

is there a video of that skip?

[kevbew63]

No, not yet. It's the same method but with the simple change of jumping toward the hall behind the door. I haven't got around to recording it yet but I plan to.

Are you new to GoW exploiting?

[o11ymarshall]

i bought the game about 1 week ago and im just working my way through the levels slowly cos this is my first play, ive just got to Ares final battle, hope to have completed within the day

answer to the question: yes

[kevbew63]

You might want to check out my other videos and subscriptions. There are lots of videos on GoW/ GoWII exploiting as well as general tips and tricks that will probably be of interest to you.

[o11ymarshall]

thanks anyway, but i dont need them anymore, completed the game that night (on easy) now im going for god mode. perhaps you can help me though, on challenge of the gods i kill all the undead soldiers etc and then i have about 10 seconds left but it just stops there. what do i need to do to go to next round?

[masha5658546]

thinking

[AKheon]

You can make it ~30 seconds faster by jumping straight out to the corridor without using the skull, etc. I tried this out myself, and it worked. The skull isn't needed...

[kevbew63]

I figured it was possible but hadn't gotten around to testing yet. Could you demonstrate it?

[AKheon]

Sorry, overwrote my Tomb save... Not sure when I'll get around there again. (might not play in a few days)

[kevbew63]

That's ok, I might give it a try soon. Did you just do the same thing as me with the exception of jumping toward the hall instead of the tomb?

[AKheon]

Yes. It seemed easy to reach, didn't have to prolong the jump at all.

[kevbew63]

Figures.

[FiveGlory]

Nice find! This will make my life easier for my NUR+

[kevbew63]

Unless you are using regenerating magic in the run, I'm afraid this one won't be possible with all the PR usage needed.

[FiveGlory]

I will be though :D

[BigVEE]

IF he saved all of it for that one skip *dealing with the hallway* he could make it with just 3 PRs as you did..that is doable.

Could you not do this skip from the other side (2 other chests) as well kevbew? There is a chest with magic/health over there I think..not sure. So I could use the skips you did, get a refill and do the skip *in theory*.

[kevbew63]

I have not tested the other side recently but I don't think it works - at least not like in this vid. I will have to test again to make absolutely sure but I think the wall is a little higher and harder to glitch into from the left room.

[BigVEE]

That seams odd..but I'll take your word for it until I get around to dicking around in GoW1 again.

[kevbew63]

After I thought about it, this might actually be easier with lvl 1 PR, assuming the bar is full upon entering the chest room. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it cutting off prematurely or rely on the magic to regenerate sufficiently. I just didn't think it through.

[BigVEE]

That isn't to say it is your first NUR+ is it?

[AKheon]

Very good! When I get home I'll try this out myself.

[BigVEE]

Nicely handled up until the faithful spot.

Looks quite easy actually.

~I like how you linked it to PSU..that shit is just classy because I bet a faggot from that site is the cause of the 3 stars rating I see.

[kevbew63]

-Thanks.

-Not as easy as it looks. That spot I stand on for just a fraction is pretty small. It's easy to miss. That along with the tendency of PR to cut off prematurely with Artemis can make this a little difficult.

~LOL. Most likely since it was rated so quickly after the vid was posted and that's the only place exploits seem to be viewed negatively (by some). No worries here, I know this is a good skip for speedrunners. Saves ~1:20-1:30 I would estimate.

[BigVEE]

We shall see. That spot is similiar to the one I stood on while trying out the skips at the Shields (Zeus/Hades) section. I'd grown used to the antics of PR w/ Artemis before the 'lift' was known about.  I can see how one could easily screw up though.

~I wonder if it was Chickenmeister himself giving it a 1 star to offset the obvious 5 stars given by us. *lololol*

[kevbew63]

Most likely.  He even gave me a half-compliment at PSU. LOL, he showed me with that 1 star rating.

[BigVEE]

Such an interesting way to show interest..

'Nice work, 1 star.  UR WELCUM FAGGOT'

~lololol

[MrEmpirical]

Awesome! I know GodModeGOD managed to skip the puzzle one time, but he did it by accident and couldn't reproduce the glitch. Well done on finding a reliable way of doing it.

[BigVEE]

His version was different/reproducable *better*. I was actually testing in that same spot after learning of AKheon's 'lift' and satvara's tricks...I should have thought to land on that spot and leap towards the room or at least use swings towards it..but I just fell..thinking nothing of it..like "oh well". Not at all like me but yet it happened.

[drifter19]

Nice
