The "I need help" Topic

I got it now thanks for the help! Now I'm going for the early power bombs.

2013-08-22 10:31:08 pm

The wallcrawl for early power bombs is very simple. The part that a lot of people have trouble with is the ghetto jump to get out of bounds, so I have a few pieces of advice for that.

1. Aim for the left side of the rock to land on. It's a bit lower than the rest, so it's easier to land on.
2. when facing the try, I recommend locking your view diagonally down-left, so you see what you're ghetto-ing off of.
3. Make sure you don't touch the tree before jumping; you have to jump before touching the tree (and touch the tree as you're ascending, for the ghetto effect)

you can probably just watch any speedrun of mp2 and it'll probably have it. If anything, I'll probably be streaming mp2 in the weekly race tomorrow 4PM EST so you can watch that (and other mp2 runners too)

Where is the load trigger for Quad room? (i.e. When do I have to start sprinting to get to the door on time?

MP2 also a bit MP1 speedrunning

ive been messing around in the room before Grand abyss like 5 hours one day, i found a corner where you can do like infinite bombjumps on but its very difficult and slow and i actually have no ida if that would even lead somewhere, ive also tried to climb up the spinners for a long time, i got really far up but i could get over the spinner on the left side, so i tried to get up to the tunnel which is near the beam ammo without morphing, i couldnt get up there and i dont even know if that would lead to something... i dont think the room as a invisible ceiling though.

Where did I lose enough time to have Quad room load on me? Was it when jumping to the door?

It's loading fast because Quadraxis is dead. Boss rooms generally load a lot faster when the boss is gone.

So that's why I could never do it. Time to do a run up until to Quad and practice using that instead.

Oh, and for early PBs, I need to ghetto jump over the large root, then do my second jump and land on the other root, right?

kirbymastah

Yeah ghetto jump using the side of the tree to ghetto off of, and delay your second jump until after you completely pass the root. You want to aim to land on the left edge of the rock since it's a little lower than the rest of the rock.

RaphaelRobo

Oh, I want to land on the rock? I'll try that next time.

And I really hate when I screw up Quad skip and Quad room loads around me.

I just tried doing the jump and landing on the left of the rock and got it first try. All those hours of practice and all I needed to do was aim slightly further left. Thanks a lot. You're now my favorite Prime 2 runner.

I just realized this means I can start learning 100% now. I guess I should do that after I learn Quad Skip.

EDIT: Is there a video of how to get back in bounds somewhere? All I can find are you and Miles staying out of bounds so you can skip Violet, which doesn't really help me (unless I want to go learn Grand Abyss or Sanddigger).

or

the first one goes to the top of Temple Assembly Site and drops in through a hole, the second one morphs through the wall. both pretty easy

So there's no way to warp back in bounds up without going to the previous room? I feel like I should be able to ceiling warp in. I'll go with one of those methods for now, though.

those videos are old. you can do it in the other room. cutscene warp is easier. couldn't the video for this (i forgot about it in my earlier post) but once you get pb jump back towards the main part then to the right, stick in the wall and scan the gate control to warp back in.

The easiest method in any% is to make sure the game is transitioned onto Dynamo Chamber, then after getting the PB expansion, get on the standable spot, jump into the wall across from the machine and get into a sticky post, then scan the machine. The game will trigger a cutscene and warp you back in. Make sure you get back to the middle of the room to unload Temple Assembly Site before moving on to GFMC Compound, or else you'll crash the game.

The other method is to just ceiling warp into the alcove with the PB tank and use a PB to blow up the barricade. For this case, you need to make sure the game is transitioned on Temple Assembly Site, so you'll have to retransition it to Dynamo Chamber after breaking in.

You do NOT want to ceiling warp into the top part of Dynamo Chamber in any%, as the gates are up so you'll be blocked in. You only want to do that in 100% (since they'll be down because you're getting the PB tank after your trip to agon)

In that case, I'm glad I wasn't able to get the ceiling warp. The cutscene warp was really really easy, so I guess I can do that from now on.

I just killed DS1 in one hit. That felt awesome. I can't even begin to imagine what using Annihilator on her must feel like.

here is a better use of Annihilator Beam on DS1

I've managed to get myself stuck between the cobalt translator lock in the temple sanctuary and the sound lock in the sacred bridge. To get myself unstuck i've gotten in the secret world in temple transport A

Items i've got are
space jump
powerbomb
boostball
morph bombs
spiderball
missiles
light/dark beams

I'm in the secret world and can't figure out how to get up to the door as theres nothing to jump on to it seems.
