Writing this down here so I won't forget or anything:
Critical Hits
- Very hard to manipulate Harry's criticals; it seems the RNG for it is determined after then enemy hits you
Example:
Rat hits 5 damage; you hit 30. Cannot be changed to anything but 0 or 30.
Rat manipulated to hit 6. You score a critical. Like above, you will always get 0 or critical for that turn.
Enemies can be manipulated to hit, score a critical, or miss on the same turn with input and delay. Note: Manipulate giant rat in 2nd bank visit to nearly kill you, as that's the only enemy capable of doing so at level 90 which can survive posion.
Purple Rabbit
Always wear gloves to avoid the battle with it. Wear gloves at the second dungeon where you need to pause to skip dialogue.
Train section
There's a NPC starring out of the window that when glitched does the following:
-Transports you to the forbidden woods
-Transports you to beginning town
-Door opening sound
The first option makes you stuck in woods; dying does not get you out.
Edit: Yes, you can go to the school, but when you try to go where the 3rd boss is, you get stuck.
The second option makes you stuck into a wall.
Ironically, the third option is the most useful as for some reason, if that didn't happen, the battle with the purple frog (the one which gives you 86 levels) would be replaced by a troll. Note: Boss battles cannot be replaced.
Talking to NPC's before you talk to the glitched one that messes up the screen causes weird effects:
-Gives you glitched items
-Give you 10k-50k sickles
-Never ending dialogue box
-An
expiray date
-Nothing
Cards
You must use 3 cards to level up to 91 so exp gained from the giant rat and chickens wouldn't level you up, which heals you. Also, must die somewhere in the forbidden woods to allow cards to deathwarp you later, since you overrode the previous deathwarped cards when you fought 5 chickens and won.
Edit: Before chickens, manipulate 2 blue spiders to weaken you.
Edit 2:
There are two methods of weakening:
1.
Abuse glitch to make spiders hit you 5 times in a row.
2.
Abuse glitch to make spiders hit you 4 times + poison.
Method 2 confirmed to be faster.
MP
Use MP liberally; almost every battle in the final dungeon levels you up, thus restoring MP to full.
Also, adelikat already mentioned these run aren't publishable. So why are you doing this?
.....You know it's not the "shortest" if the time matches that of another run, right?
