No obviously not, but I found it when playing Okaar world (which is the last world I complete). So I would have to start a complete new run (and differente route) to take full advantage of this Okaar glitch.

Maybe I'll have free time at the end of the week and if so I'll try to do the entire run again. I think I could save 5-10 more minutes with an optimal route and with the help of a few others glitches I found.

I'll contact you if so !

Whoa! You just made me realize something... You're right: eventually it won't matter how fast you play anymore, because the event quests triggers always take their minimum time.

So it becomes pertinent that you get the first Mon as soon as possible (Okaar, via the Fae temple Daoka, using your wall trick), and that you do the event quests immediately when they come up and fast (here's where 5 F-links come in handy).

[atomicJo42]

yeah getting Okaar Mon first is a very good idea, unfortunately I didn't do that in my run because I found Okaar bug too late :(

Anyway you'll give your thoughts about the quality of my run (if you verify) and even though it isn't 100% optimized it can be accepted and maybe improved one day by another runner

[atomicJo42]

Actually I don' thinkt it's possible to beat 1hour because of marion cinematics which requires several minutes delay from the previous one to trigger

[ioncloud2012]

Alrighty then! I'm going to register at SDA asap.

Just for fun, this would be my critique of the Ranzaar level

(aside from it being excellent):

You should jump to cut the corners of the stairs, and dive in the water later. This should buy you enough time to collect the money from the vases. At the end you waste 3 seconds, and consequently you arrive at the Daoka 3 seconds too late. As if this game was made to speedrun. :-D

Obviously I don't expect you to redo your run for this. ;-)

[atomicJo42]

Yeah the ranzaar part isn't perfect (like the overall run) but those are very small mistakes and I accepted the minors ones.

BTW this isn't the real first part of my run, I "re-did" it for capture purposes (I didn't use Fraps for this video)

[ioncloud2012]

Wait a minute... (I suspect a typo here)

Are you saying you did the entire Okaar Mon quest in that 1h18m run?!

[ioncloud2012]

I'll PM the SDA admin again, but I don't expect a reaction any time soon.

How about we continue this converstion on the SDA forum?

[ioncloud2012]

Yeah, I'm still not sure what exactly triggers those event quests.

Getting a Mon and switching worlds is part of it, but there's also some rondom timed factor to it.

But in the end you can use the "wasted" time to get a big weapon and set out the route from Ranzaar to Okaar with F-links.

I'm wondering, in what order did you get the Mons? If you did Okasankaar last, you've indeed got a problem with the event quests.

[ioncloud2012]

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect your run to be perfect. I couldn't do it any better even if my life depended on it. I have extensive knowledge of the game, but I suck at playing fast. That's why I'm more interested in the planning.

I think theoretically it could be done under an hour, but it would have to be played by a robot that has 100% accuracy and can predict the consequences of every action.
