TUGOWU Speedrun Thread

Took 56 minutes to reach the Island. 

Soooo slow. 

>too slow

I suppose this cannot be helped.  I'll just have to try and do without it in my calculations.

>without swimming

Preferred.

>casual speed

Such is the way of a truly fair play speedrun without any 'major' work beyond 'skip what you can', clear things fast, etc.

>back on Monday

I'll be working on CoO Tactics/Tips next among the projects lined up.

Ignore all the messages I've sent you on psn. They are merely a reference for me to keep track of my times for GoW II.

 **NOTE** When I say skip, it means I skipped the fighting unless otherwise noted.

Final Save 4 hrs 07 min

[/spoiler]  

Up next Easy BP. Same skips as before, but a ton more skips thanks to High Jump from the start with BP.

BP Done 2 hrs 54 min.

Skips used included Skipping getting Typhons bane(straight to RotT trial after first meeting with Prometheus?), skipped Theseus, skipped the fight with Euryale, did swimming glitch, took same route as previous run, but this time I swam all the way to Great Chasm. Skipped TM3, skipped Nymph hive nest. All the remaining skips from previous run were also implemented. Zeus died much faster due to everything being fully upgraded.

Almost done with VH NP, then VH BP. Followed by DO BP early swimming glitch.

Okay. VH NP is 3 hrs 55 minute. VH BP is 2 hours 40 min. The only way I figure this is possible is due to collision being so overpowered on VH it makes it quicker.

Now time for ALL out swimming glitch BP Easy Speed Run. May not use DO, not sure the damage values. 

>ignore PMs

Easily done when I'm not online most of the time.  I only got on while my nephew wanted to play some demos (because I don't really have games for his age demographic).

>all that space between paragraphs

I assume GS did that, not you.

>finish today

Suits me.  I've been tied up all day.  It won't change tomorrow or even Sunday.  Monday should be the return to business as usual.

>final time 04:07:00

And that was for Easy NG?  I forget the conditions. Some major skips/glitches?  So this wouldn't be fair play, I take it.

>Easy NG+

Taking it to another extreme as such.  02:54:00.  I see.

>VH NG

With or without major exploits, skips, glitches, etc.?

>VH NG+

Same question.

>DO antics

So I'd gleamed.  Strong hits, strong collisions, etc.

>VH NG

03:55:00.  Again, what was allowed for this?

>VH NG+

02:40:00.  I see.

>all out

>not sure

GoWII Tactics/Tips thread should have costume values in it.

All skips used are listed in the skeleton. 

Easy BP using just Kratos Skin and swimming glitch from Divine Pools. Final time was 2 hours 03 min.  

I just couldn't stick to a strict no skip speedrun on GoW II. But the  skips I used can all be done on NP by even the most casual players. 

>Easy NG+

02:03:00.

>couldn't

Such a pity.

>minor cases

Time to add, nontheless.

The major exploit used was the swimming. It shaved off roughly 15 minutes of gameplay. So add that in and you'll have your correct time.

At most add 20 minutes to easy and 30to VH. It would adjust to the right time.
