The megasphere by the blue building can be grabbed with SR50 from the platform with the shotgun ammo. You have to hit it very straight on though. This lets you skip the whole blue building. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
almostmatt1 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Cool idea for a skip! That'd save some time, but would call for some re-routing a little later in the level, as the blue key is needed for a door shortly after the red key section. This blue key door is certainly circumventable though. The most obvious way I think it could be avoided is by simply taking the rock path adjacent to the lava just outside the yellow key section, as has been recently implemented for regular NoMo. This could be accessed if the 3 platforms are raised earlier in the level, which require switches that you earlier end up very close to anyway. Here's an example of what I mean, obviously skipping a bunch of secrets along the way, but following the general route and making obvious references to points of interest. - Example.zip If the above was done, I'd imagine it'd still save some time from skipping the blue key building, but not as much as initially hoped. Thought I can't think of one, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a faster way of doing it than what the above example shows, but the only way onto the other side of those raised platforms is to get to the entrance to the yellow key area again, which would doubtlessly take more time. I think it'd still be faster than going through the blue key building but at the very least, using SR50 to hit the megasphere outside the blue key area would still save a few seconds over needing to get the key, go back a little to get the megasphere, then backtracking again to get towards the yellow key area. EDIT - I realised right after sending that, there's another aspect of the route with makes skipping the blue key unfeasible. During an all secrets route I'd actually need to go through that blue door twice, which means if I want to hop over the platforms and avoid the blue door, I need to do it twice, which at that point would be significantly slower than just getting the blue key. Another example demo showing what I mean - Example2.zip Edited July 1, 2019 by almostmatt1 Adding information 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
ukiro Posted July 2, 2019 I haven't checked your examples (currently on a mac with no good demo playback) but the BK door to the green building is indeed an issue. As you say, the regular nomo route shows a fairly efficient route into green building without any key. The problem is when you drop down for the invulnerability: To get to that you either need the blue key or you need to have been in the green building already. If you don't have BK, then the route pretty much has to be one where you are now wanting to go back into green but that requires BK unless you traverse to the yellow building side (hence the pillars must be raised) to get into the lava a second time. I feel like I had some sort of plan for this when I decided green building should require blue key both for the big door and for the little elevator to the switch lowering the bars, but I can't really remember what my thinking was. I should probably make a less complex map next time… 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Your NoMo run is very clean, you'd likely have no problems getting another 20-25 seconds (at least) out of this. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

I decided not to go for a better map 03 time even though it's a bit bumpy as, honestly, I wanted to leave it a little un-polished to maybe motivate someone to try to beat it and go for a record. I know it's a less popular category but I wouldn't mind a little NoMo competition. :) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

ukiro Posted July 26, 2019 37 minutes ago, tchkb said: MAP32 UV-Max in 42:50 Most impressive! The thing that stood out to me is that there's a faster way to the BFG, but you might know that. From the serpentine bridge, you can jump in the lava where there's some cell ammo (it's a clue!). From there climb the cliffs to the BFG. You will have to plow through imps though and there's a bit of backtracking to get back into red building from that same direction, so maybe it doesn't save a whole lot. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
