It saves the 3 minutes we would have spent watching sarias song twice. R0bd0g said he was going to try is on console, but his wrong warp test file already had shadow medallion from RBA.

what about hammer slideing through water temple? and after dc u can do bottom of well and get bombchus is that useful

Re: MST Route Discussion

#243
Hammer sliding to the west door on the 3rd floor of the water temple could be useful,  but not to the boss door because we still need long shot anyways for shadow.

Bomchus aren't necessarily until Ganon's Castle and even then,  I bet you could just hookdhot clip through the bars with the torches. Since we can't even get the bombchus until after we have bombs,  it just isn't worth it. Now if there was a way that we could get the bombchus before dodongos cavern then they might be worth it, but at the moment there is no way to do that. Thank you for your suggestions though ;)

I'm curious to see what he finds Taylor. I wonder if it does work on console. I assume it would,  but I guess there's no way to know besides simply testing it.

by the way ben someone found nocturne wrong warp thing before you its in max% child :/

Re: MST Route Discussion

#245
Im gonna try to find a way to warp to serenade cutscene, not sure but it might work.
Might be useless and waste of time, but I dont have anything better to do.
Kinda ironic that the nocturne warp is the otherway around.
Offtopic should we make a warp table thing in oot3d zsr page?

E:any theory warps to serenade?
E2:tested 4 warps: Goron city ->DMT, deku = goron ruby cutscene, you dont get ruby
nocturne warp from DC, it works. HF -> Zoras river, deku = emerald cutscene, area unloaded and Link falls OOB before the second text box starts. DMT -> DMC deku = title screen bolero video.

Pedalpower, there is a table under the OOT section here listing all the wrong warps known. So look at that instead of just trying random things lol. We dont need a serenade warp, we are skipping it.

So both the silvers and the nocturne warp work from DC and Deku, I tried all four.

I think the new plan is:
Blah blah to get magic
Owl down
Set HF->Kak
WW in DC to Nocturne
Get to lost woods through GC or HF, whichever is faster
Set Kokiri->Lost Woods
WW in Deku to Silver Gaunts
Grab Silvers(optional), Mirror Shield and Requiem
Return to Warp point,Set FW, Equip Sword, Dive to Zoras River
Enter Domain, TSC past KZ, Jabu
Get the real FW, return to warp point, OOT, Dins, Master Sword

Some of the warps are different and I know its useless. Just wanted to find something. I also tested the nocturne warp from DC. I think theres a small mistake in your route
Return to warp point, equip sword, dive to zoras river
Set FW, enter domain etc.

I like the new route Gamestabled. I was still finishing Deku tree before Dodongo's Cavern and then I would get my shield burned by the keese and I'd have to buy another before Jabu Jabu. Doing the dungeons in that order should save me a bunch of time and should prevent me from having to go out of my way to get a new shield. Wow this route is way different than it was less than a week ago... I like it :)

Thanks for letting me know that LttpMmOot

one thing I've noticed about the new route though,  is that deku sticks are going to be very tight. You'll get three in goron city,  use one in the lost woods,  get three more in goron city,  use two on lizalfos,  and use three and king dodongos. If you mess up even once,  you have to make another trip to goron city before king dodongo. It's technically possible to kill Gohma with one but I'm going to buy two from the kokiri store to be safe.

Ben, gohma 1 cycle is VERY easy ive done it about 3 times in a row now, you need the right rhythm.
For easy rupees, just after bombing those stairs down in DC, go left and break the closest pot. It has 20 rupees in it 100%

Would it be possible to wrong warp to Prelude of Light cutscene for DoT Skip?
We would need the warp and this is MST. If it is possible we would use it in any%

Re: MST Route Discussion

#251

Would it be possible to wrong warp to Prelude of Light cutscene for DoT Skip?

It might somehow possible, but there would be no point. We need to use our two child warps on Nocturne cutscene for hover boots early and for Silver Gauntlet warp for the Requiem of Spirit. Both of those warps save quite a bit of time. Also, doing child dungeon's as adult link wouldn't really change much our save to much time. Time would be saved in DC, but all-in-all it's just not worth it. Would getting prelude early even allow for DoT skip? Thank you for your suggestions though. Any idea you have feel free to share. Sometimes ideas, even stupid ones act as springboards for good ideas.

I already get the red rupee in the pot in the stair room actually. I also pick up the red rupee under the rock on my way up to magic. As for gohma 1 cycle, I never get it not because of the rhythm but because I never break my Deku stick the right way. I'm working on getting it right though.

I think child spirit wrong warp is only useful for the song unless you actually need silver guantlets for trails which i dont think you do in main quest not sure about master quest

you can just silver block skip in spirit temple with hover boots could save time on watching the cutscene twice when you only really need the song

You need them for trials? Uh..what. Didnt GS say theyre optional?

Re: MST Route Discussion

#255

You need them for trials? Uh..what.


was just pointing out the child spirit temple wrong warp for gauntlets is pointless you dont need them as for the song it saves a ton of time
i have no idea if he said that but they are optional i'd skip them period cut off a minute of watching the cutscene again.

dont think it matters though still have to setup block skip in spirit temple so idk lol block skip for me is faster then actually pushing the block

Re: MST Route Discussion

You do not need silver gauntlets. I agree with Lttp. Block skip is faster than pushing the block. However mirror shield early is worth it. It's not even that hard.

Just attempted a run. Gave up 2 hours in. It was atrocious :(

also means skip watching the cutsence twice if you do decide to skip gaunlets only have to watch it once which also makes up for block skip save 30 seconds possibly more if you dont mess up on block skip once

Re: MST Route Discussion

Warning. Useless wall of text ahead. None of it is exactly necessary of a reply, so don't feel obliged to just because my wall is so big, lol.

About wrong warping into cutscenes, uh, for each area in the game, there are only two cutscenes you can warp into, depending on whether you used deku/dc to warp to that area or if you used fire to warp to that area. There are known two cutscenes that you could warp to that could function as a DoT skip. The first is to the temple of time using the fire temple warp (you could set FW in a lot of places maybe, but Market->ToT is the obvious one). This plays the door of time opening cutscene. I mean, not exactly at DoT skip, but still. The other is to the cutscene map (Kokiri Forest->House of Twins is one) which plays the light medallion cutscene if you use the fire temple warp. After the CS you will probably be child link inside the MS room, but maybe you would become and adult (either way you do get the light medallion). If not you might have to watch the light medallion CS again when you pull MS. I'm not sure if these warps have been proven not to crash on 3D. Obviously the problem is that both of these would require NG+ Hammer, doing Fire as child, and doing a difficult wrong warp with RI. Serenade and Prelude are both not reachable using current wrong warp methods.

I wonder about maybe just setting FW somewhere and making a half-hearted attempt to skip all the adult cutscenes. It'll take a couple seconds every warp to put down an attempt and if you get lucky once you could make that time back and then some. It might be worth it for you guys to give RI CS skips a few attempts to see if you can pull them off. According to MZX (this was with normal OoT, but it's probably not changed), there's a multiple frame window to warp w/ FW just as the screen is almost completely white, for adult warps.

I was wondering though about where you would warp to from fire temple. It would be nice if somebody could prove that warping into an area that doesn't play a cutscene were possible on 3DS, but nobody's proven that yet as far as I can tell. It's looking like you will have to warp into a cutscene, if you do try to CS skip the fire temple CS. I can't really see a cutscene that you would actually want to warp to, so I was thinking maybe just warp to the temple of time and watch the door of time opening again, which, IIRC, is really short if you've already opened the door. If you're doing fire temple last, the light arrow cutscene should be waiting for you. I'm not sure which cutscene will play but it's a possibility that the light arrow cutscene will play instead and you won't have to watch an extra cutscene at all.

Trying to think of what other cutscenes it might be possible to wrong warp to (but probably aren't better than the ones you're using already) are:
- Saria's Song. That can't save time because you, for the most part, need Saria's before you can WW and even then it wouldn't really skip anything, especially with having to watch it twice.
- The exit list says that Spirit Temple has cutscenes and that it should be possible to wrong warp into them but, I have no idea what those cutscenes are, and when people have wrong warped to spirit temple before, nobody mentioned anything playing.
- Nabooru Defeated CS in the Spirit Temple Boss Room. I'm not really sure where you can wrong warp to this from; possibly Spirit->Spirit Boss Room is the only way (the exit list suggests there's an entrance to Kokiri Forest that could work, but it's hard to say for sure if that exit is reachable, what with the wrong warp table (this cutscene isn't even on it) being so incomplete -- possibly it's the grotto, which wouldn't be possible to use, or possibly it was tested and crashed but could be possible somehow). Even if it were possible to reach somehow, you would need a DoT skip in order to WW to the cutscene as adult so for to beat the boss. It could maybe be useful if the Kokiri Forest entrance, whatever it is, is found to work, since you could just savewarp and be in the Spirit Temple.
- All 6 Medallion CS in the Chamber of Sages. By default this cutscene brings you to Dessert Colossus after it finishes. I assume if you beat Shadow Temple after spirit, it would take you do the graveyard instead. The problem with this is that the only known warp to it is infinite falling OoB. There's another entrance to the chamber of sages that should be possible to wrong warp to from a Temple of Time entrance, but who knows what entrance that is. There are a couple of entrances that would only be possible to use as a FW point on the 3DS version (first becoming adult, or after dropping the master sword), but they would require DoT skip since you would have to use Deku/DC to reach that cutscene.
- Door of Time opening / Light Medallion CS, using the fire temple, as I mentioned already. Just from glancing over the list, I think you've probably already got the best two cutscenes to use, but maybe I've missed something.

There are some exits that are only possible as child (to/from the guard house with the pots, owls, that sort of thing) that could possibly lead to unexpected places. Setting FW after taking the owl to kakariko and also setting FW inside the pot house are things that I'm curious about. If Owl->Kak leads to Nocturne it could be a little faster than setting it at HF->Kak (EDIT: this leads to Lon Lon, but, try exiting the house where Talon sleeps -- it should be closer than the main entrance). Since it's not the main entrance to Kakariko, though, it's more likely to crash, even if that's where it leads. The pot house because I see on the exit list something called "Lots O Pots" (that house was the only thing I could think of that that might be -- possibly it's the same as the poe house though) and it should link to the Spirit Temple entrance that has the mysterious non-existent cutscenes listed after it.

Re: MST Route Discussion

R0bd0g, I was also curious about some of those potential wrong warps that you mentioned. I might test some of new warps in a few days. Fire temple early might also be something to look into at the moment. If we can finish Jabu Jabu,  warp back to lost woods, enter goron city, climb DM and enter fire temple through DMC we could get there pretty fast. This would give us another chance to perform another wrong warp without having to use RI. We could potentially do one of your Dot skips. This could skip the Zelda fleeing castle CS. However, if you did skip that cutscene, the water temple route my have to be tweaked and you'd have to preform the glitch in Dampe's grave where you exit the hookshot room and sidehop back in to get trapped and warp back to the beginning of the race considering that you wouldn't have the Song of Time. Lots of things to think about after reading this.

EDIT: woops looks like beating volvagia as young link would require a hammer on b... However, wrong warping as an adult in fire temple using RI could be helpful, but is certainly not necessary. We could add something to the route that would simply save time, and would not cause a failed run if you don't succeed.

Owl->Kak WW's to Lon Lon.

That said, Talon Sleeping House->Kak is a little better than HF->Kak and it was tested to work so that's what I guess you'll be doing from now on.

Re: MST Route Discussion

#262
Yeah, so I in the middle of a run, and when the spirit song cutscene ended, I quickly pressed B to return to the warp point. However, this resulted in the camera locking in front of link, me not being able to push any buttons on the touch screen and no button on the 3DS itself save for 'Home' had any effect. It was not frozen, because links eyes would blink occasionally and I still heard the gerudo music and sand sound effects playing, but I couldn't do anything. I suspect a few things may be responsible for this- 1: I had no magic. due to unforeseen circumstances in deku, I actually had to warp out mid boss fight (heh) and return with adequate supplies. I know you can return to warp points with no magic, but still. 2: Maybe I pressed B too early? I don't know, I did press it almost exactly as I got control over link. Regardless, that was really weird and I hope it doesn't happen again  :-X    

EDIT: Did I just softlock my 3DS?
EDIT2: God damnit I softlocked my 3DS.

The amazing speedruns of TaylorTotFails :o anyway, anything new? Has Tom revealed his secret yet? Cant use mibbit irc on Ipad well  :(

So close! 3:50:01. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go wallow in my own misery for the rest of the day :(

Re: MST Route Discussion

#265
How do you prove your time? It its ok im going to use my phones timer. Ill take a photo after beating the game with the time next to it. Ofcourse i cant prove that i didnt wait and pause the timer before/after playing. (who would seriously wait three hours for a timer to pause it)

Re: MST Route Discussion

#266
Until capture devises come out, there really isn't a way to prove it unless you want to record it all on your phone :P
Just do a run a say your time. We're all trustworthy here.

Re: MST Route Discussion

#267
We're all trustworthy here.
Ok..my time is 0:01 with this new amazing sequence break which makes Ganon come to Links tree house, give him a hug and say "Link, I realized that I can't become the ruler of the world and obtain the triforce with my time traveling skills, so take these stones, medallions and flags that show you have completed everything in this game. Im sorry." after that Link goes back to sleep and the text "This is the real happy end" appears
Im amazed mzx hasnt said/found anything about this. It might be possible that this is something Grezzo put in the 3DS version :o I was surprised by this SO much I forgot to take a picture :( but I can draw one :D Hopefully we can dig inside this 3DS game sometime and see if there is anything else hidden inside.

Also a note, in my 56 min run which was on Gohma (I know it sucks) i had to reset because you cant use infinite deku sticks trick if you only have one :(

Re: MST Route Discussion

#268
Pedalpower,  you can do infinite deku stick with one stick. On Gohma you need to get close to her before you hit her. This usually does the trick for me.

Re: MST Route Discussion

#269
Link puts the stick away if you dont have more than 1 dekustick (or you cant attack with it, dont remember) and ive done it on gohma 3 times in a row.

Wait Gamestabled, didn't you say that you had a way to skip the gate in the shadow temple with a big sword? My memory could be fooling me but I swear I remember you saying something of the sort.
