THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


101/100 and 1999/2000 is actually how my attempt at a perfect run of this ended. The last one was hovering over the black abyss in Gol and Maia's Citadel. Somewhere.

Some say she was raised by sentient birds, and that test subjects replicating her equipment were horribly broken.

All we know is she's called

Reminds me of my old run on the PS2 years ago. It was also 101/100 and 1999/2000, except the last Orb was somewhere in the Lava Tube and I could NEVER find it.

Fast forward to partway through the LP and I finally decide to go through Jak & Daxter HD after putting it off. Finally got that 100% Run, and also discovered a neat thing that could help a small amount in a speedrun, but likely wouldn't since it's only relevant to a 100% run.

You know how the switches in the Sage Huts always trigger a cutscene you're forced to sit through? Well, you can get all the way to Gol & Maia's Citadel without hitting a single one. It just requires you to almost get 100% in every area you can access before Volcanic Crater.

Essentially, once you clear out every area except the Precursor Basin (which you can't access without hitting the switch which generates the Zoomer in front of it), you have to use a sort of an Out of Bounds "glitch" (since it just requires a bit of precise platforming and swimming) to get past the boulder that blocks your path to the Mountain Pass. You fight the boss, get to the Crater and don't hit the switch in the Sage's hut. You then just buy as many of the Power Cells as you can, then get the last few you need out of the Spider Cave.

You can hit the required Cell Count without the Precursor Basin and Snowy Mountain. Once you do, you just go to the Lava Tube and the Zoomer will magically be there. You then get to the Citadel and hit the switch since you're forced to do so to enter the Citadel. Once you've triggered THAT cutscene, you can use the Warp Gate to go to the previous Sage Huts even if you never triggered the switches on them. And when you go there and hit the switch for those two Huts, you'll skip the cutscene that would normally play.

It's just a neat thing that actually does work, but wouldn't make a difference in a speedrun outside of a 100% or 100 Cells/all Cells Speedrun since you have to go to the Spider Cave anyways. This just saves you the time from the two cutscenes in the Rock Village (Switch Trigger and Moving the Rock) and the one long one in Volcanic Crater (Gol and Maia's monolog).

Downward spiral? I think you mean downward grind rail, because it is x-treme radical, as any 90s kid would know.

Good lord that must have hurt Jak, though, to have all those orbs just rocketing out of his backpack and probably bonking him on the head.

YouTube has finally introduced 60 FPS support, so I'll get to simplify the OP and the LP.
Thankfully it'll be rolled out fully by Jak 2 thread.

I 100%ed Jak 2 twice. Jak 1 once. Only finished Jak3 and the racing game. Jak 2 had just something that gripped me.

Probably better for RJ to focus on Tomba as Heavenator has already finished his Jak 2 LP and plans to LP Jak 3 and Daxter after he finishes Watch Dogs.

There! Now you can relive all the good times in 60FPS without one weird trick! It's like night and day how easy this is.

About Heavenator's Jak II/3 LPs, they aren't going to affect my schedule for Jak II/3, because I can only manage about one LP thread per year and Jak II isn't the 2015 one.

How do you even check something like that? :psyduck: Either way, they're all listed in the OP, and there's a playlist on his channel, so does it matter?

Chimera-gui posted:

There's a lock by the video's name if it unlisted. It matters cause I use the Youtube app on the Wii U to watch vids on my TV and said app does not show unlisted videos.

Huh. I learned something new today.

Oh, I didn't want to Public them all at once and flood my subscribers' inboxes. But I didn't know that Wii U and probably other devices can't play Unlisted, I'll change them now.
