TRLE: The Beginning demo speedrun - The Cai'xia Temple 12:28

"The Beginning" created by Jackie Wu (geckokid).

This is a very sloppy run, but since this is just a demo, I thought it'll do. Here are some quick comments:

Some tricks, most notably the crouch drop through a slope (!) and the swim corner bug, were found by Apelaum.

Segmenting where I segment for the first time creates a savegame bug, which results in one less lever throw later on.

I'll explain the rest of it and answer comments sometime later. :)

This game has fascinating unusual details. On a longer fall, Lara flails her arms in a charming way, as she regains her balance. When hanging from an edge she doesn't pull up in the usual slow way, she vaults up! I enjoyed the mauve clouds and the slightly purple breath bar.

At 10:55, that looks like an opportunity to use the movable object glitch, but you could only save a couple of seconds.

@rrcarroll252 But I did use it! :P I just had to move the one on the left next to the hole in the floor first (a lowered raising block). Otherwise the bug wouldn't let me move it past the hole when I push the one on the right.

Both the level and Lara's moves look amazing!

Flawless. I didn't know the object bug would work like shown. Thumbs up

[LarasLawyer]

Awesome run!

[VideoGammerMan]

As said, this level looks amazing, Lara's moves are awsome and the run is brilliant !

Oh, new I see the movable glitch. That's why you pause while moving the second pushable one last square, to break the master-slave connection. And as the camera moves around after, you see the first pushable pop into it's new position. Then as Lara installs the prayer wheel, you can see it in both irs starting and ending position, I think. Saves about 17 seconds!
