This has nothing to do with speed running, but the *unskippable* cutscene where the fox spirit comes and attacks you is really badly edited! The camera crosses the line twice!! I'm a film student, I can't help but notice. She will help me regain chi that I desperately need to get through all these ghosts. The first thing I do is level up for the first time, equip all my gems for the first time, and switch to Dawn Star. If I run this again, I'll split this segment. Officially my least favorite segment uggghhh. Grrr >=(įreezing Silk Fox and then pounding her to death works. The fight with the ghosts right when Chapter 2 starts was a pain. I intentionally 'crash' my flyer just to get rid of the last plane faster, but every time I play I'm more convinced you can't adjust how long flights take. At any rate, it was the quickest Toad Demon fight I'd ever done. It always seems like you can sneak around that Toad Demon in the cave, but I don't think you can. Mostly for initiating Harmonic Combos, but also the projectile attacks allow me to hit enemies without moving. I get Ice Shard, and unlike Garrote, I abuse my magic style extensively.

I managed to do this one of the two times. I also noticed that sometimes the cannon fire on the beach doesn't hit you, even if you don't dodge them. It only seems to work really early in the game, though. The coolest thing I discovered is that if the tip of your sword scratches a weak-ish enemy, it'll kill him instantly. I choose Fortune's Favorite because you can hit multiple enemies simultaneously. This segment goes from the beginning all the way to the Swamp entrance. You can pin down enemies by constantly switching between two or three styles. So basically 99% of this run is actually just mashing START and A alternately =D In all instances of dialogue, START doubles as the A button. Ice Shard + Legendary Strike harmonic combos take care of my chi, and Storm Dragon + Legendary Strike combos help out with focus. I use Sagacious Zu up until Segment 6, and Dawn Star helps out intermittently. My primary follower is Sky in support mode. And besides, what is 5.5 seconds worth in the end, anyway? A segment may take up more than 5 autosaves, so if I were to attempt the segment again, that save point would have been deleted. This is because the game does not keep count of more than 5 autosaves at any given time. Yes, using autosaves at the end of segments does not incur the 1/2 second penalty, but I manually save my game anyway. I do level up my body, mind and spirit, however, because that doubles as an instant Focus Shrine + Spirit Font. Well, I don't completely eschew leveling, but I go segments at a time without leveling up my fighting styles at all. I approached this run with the 'completely eschewing leveling' strategy. Radiant Jen Zi | Legendary Strike, Heavenly Wave | 4 body, 3 mind, 3 spirit Big thank you to Garrote, whose run preceded mine, Nate, Radix, Mike, Enhasa, hell, even Grenola, the whole team.
