After completing the first level in the DOS version of Prince of Persia, the game asks the player to drink a potion which corresponds to a certain letter found in a particular area of the game's manual. How was this skipped?

We use (for TAS and for RTA speedrunning) a version of the game that has this screen disabled. Edit by Nach: Please do not post illegal links to games.

Having watched the previous entry I Yes voted this instantly even without watching. Should be a total pleasure to see how it looks : ) As a burning side question - is it possible to drink the +1 HP potion on Level 5? ; )

Hi Planet, Thank you for your vote :) Regarding your question, no, it's not possible. However, we haven't proved this categorically yet. I'm planning to make some improvements to the bot to have a wider search and see if in some strange way this could be done.

What's the major skip glitch in this one?

Here are the timestamps for the so-considered major skips in this run: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIEG42RMt_I Level 4 Door Skip - 3:21 Level 5 Door Clip - 4:25 Level 7 Door Clip - 5:18 Level 8 Wall Clip - 6:18 Level 9 Door Clip - 8:48 Level 10 Overflow Glitch - 9:13 Level 10 Door Clip - 9:35 Level 12 Overflow Glitch - 11:50 These tricks skip significant parts of the level. The ones market with * are especially notable. In addition to these, a multitude of guard skips (see 0:15) and other minor glitches are performed throughout the run which are not allowed in the No Major Glitches run.

Sorry I haven't read the entire submission text, but is this meant as a "major skip glitch" counterpart of #7096: GMP's DOS Prince of Persia "no major glitches" in 18:50.82?

Yes, that's correct
