TRLE - Fortress Stonerock-Secrets-Speedrun: Segments 1+2

This a the first part of my "Fortress Stonerock"-speedrun.
Fortress Stonerock is the highly praised debut of l.m. and can be downloaded here: http://www.trle.net/sc/levelfeatures.php?lid=1871
Please know that this secret doesn't even show 20% of this great adventure as huge parts will be skipped (My aim is to get a time below 30 minutes for the whole secrets-run. A normal playthrough takes about 4-5 hours) so for the full experience you just have to play it yourself.

FIRST SEGMENT:
0:00 - This jump is q uite known bug in TRLE. If it starts on a slope one normally can do a jump into any direction before Lara starts to slide down.
0:16 - I'm using a flare-wall-bug here, which was discovered by xXApelaumXx. This bug will be used very often in this run so special credits go to him
0:26 - Triggering the first secret here. In this game you don't essentially have to pick up the secret to trigger it - similar to the system in TR3. I basically just have to enter the secret area for a short time.
0:43 - I'm bypassing a trigger here in order not to activate a long flyby. That's why my jump may seem a bit weird ;)
0:57 - sorry for it being so dark...I could actually see everthing fine in the uncompressed video and even turned the brightness up a bit in MovieMaker...Let me just say, that everything here worked as intended - even the extended sprint :D
1:52 - Stupid framerate-drop that kept me redoing this segment many times after the run you see here was recorded. However I just couldn't do a better run and so I kept it.
2:25 - Well-known bug to get through any static objects. If you just keep jumping against them Lara will bug through after some time. Shooting isn't needed but I was hoping to hit any of those annoying bats (didn't work)
02:59 - the flare-cancel just isn't possible here. But it helped to stand up at least a little bit faster :) I'm failing at the extended sprint in the following sequence...
03:08 - This annoying dog just HAS to be killed
03:23 - FAIL #1
03:33 - FAIL #2 (I still used this segment as the final one, as all the other jumps worked perfectly - especially the following one)
03:54 - the following set of jumps is hard as hell and I failed many times. It's the biggest reason why I kept this run and why I segmented it afterwards.

SECOND SEGMENT:
04:30 - This cornerbug is pretty hard as Lara turns very fast when she's holding a torch. If you add forward in the air, Lara instantly bugs up but she's not able to stand there so you also have to quickly press "roll"
04:37 - Funny somehow, that you can burn your torch as long as you are still on the square with the flame emitter - no matter where you are looking....
05:00 - ...and same thing also works for burning wall-torches ^^
05:07 - To drop the torch while Lara is in air you have to press one of the weapon-hotkeys
06:03 - Most annoying flyby in the first level as the bat is able to throw Lara back into the hole while it plays. -.-
07:26 - I hate my father for calling me during this flyby right at the end of a perfect second segment o.0. I had to stop the run for s short time by pressing F5 so that the game is paused, but the timer doesn't go on...I edited out a VERY long part of the "Save Game"-Screen in order not to annoy you. Believe me, that i didn't save the game here.

Very entertaining run! Crows and castles, reminds me of Highland Fling from TR:LA. Good to see all my favorite bugs in residence.

Inventory screen: what's with the Marlboros, product placement? I also see a compass and a cellphone, but what's the 4th object? Cigarette lighter? Vibrator?

@rrcarroll252 LOL...I think the author should better answer this :D I can't wait to ask him tomorrow on MSN, but I guess it's an uncommon-shaped lipstick...

Btw: I completed this game now 2 times and NEVER realised there were these items in the inventory ^^ It's maybe an hommage to the inventory of TR2-Gold.

Great run ;D I def wanna see the rest of it!

[nightwish1603]

@monstrobiscoito Thanks...Hopefully I can put it up soon...Might need a while though...The second level is pretty hard :)
