Turok : Dinosaur Hunter (100%) Speed Run (Level5: Catacombs)

continuation of the TdH:MM speed run from www.speeddemosarchive.com

requested by turok

-- I ran this world the most to figure out how to best use my ammo. Thus, I found myself having to fall and get the cache of ammo behind the beginning. Explosive shells and Tek arrows are that valuable.

- One Tek arrow takes down a warrior even on hard!

- The Warrior Priest guarding the level eight key *the caged one) is a unique priest which I like to call a pink priest because he can teleport in a cloud of girly pink sparkles. Lady luck kisses me here by making him not teleport, which wastes a lot of time. There's another one by the Chronosceptor piece but we don't go there so it's all good. He is EXTREMELY durable.

- I take the time to blast all the darters with my machine gun because I had 10hp and they do 10hp of damage. Good enough reason I believe.

- Before this speed run idea I knew I could hop to one of the switches to save time. After a moment of thought I realized I could do the same to the other switch, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside as I skipped an entire section of a level (a rather long and annoying section, if I may add). Not an easy leap, however.

- I need to get the grenade launcher in the caverns because it is required for a smooth Mantis fight. The cave is dark and confusing but I get through, wasting maybe 4 seconds being stuck between a rock and a warrior (it looks like I should be able to slip through!)

- I don't save before the boss because I have balls and have practiced enough.

- I use explosive shells immediately because you must force him out of stage 1 because it's so easy to become trapped in a corner with pools of acid all around. By the way, how does the acid look so sexy? Best real time liquid effects I've seen from a game in the 90's, let alone one from 1997.

- Grenades are good -- magic grenade respawn is GOODER!

Damm man, you sure know your way there

We should all have peerages for having completed this level! Unless you used a guidebook or map or any other help of course! Doing it the hard way is like having to find several needles in a barn full of haystacks without any guide as to where those needles might be and without distinction between all the straws around the different parts of the barn, while you nearly get killed every few seconds even though it takes forever and then you have to do much of it again & u never know when it'll end.

No chronocepter piece. No particle accelerator. Not 100%.

I HATE this level.

[Omegax9000]

HOw long it take you to memorize this game? So many questions ppl that do theses speedruns legit are a mystery to me. Practice? Luck? Skill? Or all three!

I love this level. I about shit myself the first time the Purr-lin bust through the wall (on the part you skipped). Normally you go through all that trouble to hit those two switches, and the only new toy you get is a crappy particle accelerator. I learned to diagonal jump the shit out of this place.
