Water Shrine completed! maTO had a very well optimized WIP made. I'm about 10 seconds ahead at this point, with most of that due to an optimized intro/Title screen. However, I did find a number of tactical improvements inside the Shrine.

I would like to start from beginning and finish this game finally. It seems speedrunners have found some shortcuts: Link to video Just to name some: -Forest shortcut at 6:56 (saves maybe 4 minutes) -Killing snake boss in two cycles with stronger sword at 14:30 -Using a bomb at 17:28 (saves about 20 seconds) -Better strategy against dragon at 18:06 -Secret shortcut at 21:28 -Some shenanigans at 27:40 where you are "dead" and boss is frozen -Shortcutting again at 29:21 I don't have my testruns anymore, so if ars4326 comes back too, it could help a lot.

Okay, test run is now completed in 37:38. This was still quite unoptimized. I didn't realize to save death bombs for cave in desert, where 20 seconds could have been saved by having a Shade and use bigger bombs to go through 3 pillars of fire. The techiques were discussed in SDA's forum. Any tips how to record the soft reset in the beginning on Gens. I can't get BizHawk to work on my computer.

Have you tried installing the prereqs? If the issue persists, perhaps you could ask in the BizHawk sub-forum to see why you can't run BizHawk.

So glad to see people work on this game, let me join this thread with some stuff I have found long time ago. I am not a programmer by any means, but thanks to this forum I have found some useful hints for LUA scripting in the search for hitboxes and object sizes. This game has very interesting features because of pseudo-3D graphic style and maybe we will find weak places and more shortcuts. Here is my WIP script https://pastebin.com/wTk1uc88 and some memory addresses for this game http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/40091548648096541 If you are interested in this information I can tell much more about this, anyway I feel myself very stupid in tech stuff. Memory addresses digging is very cool and sometimes it makes my head boil, but in such action/rpg/adventure type of game you can make many creative things if you change values of the items, objects, door types and warp destinations. Sorry, but no Wrong Warp yet lulz PS if you need any help in speedrunning or practicing TAS routes, please ask our guys Delekates and PacnyTHuk - they know more practical stuff than me, I am mostly glitch hunting and making fun of the game
