Blood - Cryptic Passage in

Описание: This is a speedrun of the Cryptic Passage expansion episode. Decided to improve my time as I found a couple new skips! This was done in one segment.

In map 7 (Mountain Pass), I discovered that you can mitigate fall damage by landing on top of the pillar at 5:01 (I hold jump and A+W upon impact). There have been a few times I didn't take any damage from landing on top of it, but it doesn't happen very often... most times I lose 186-198 HP (as long as I don't die, that's all I care about). Could get it to work about 70% of the time with the setup I use.

In map 8, I do the Life Leech clip differently than in my 8:26 Cryptic Passage speedrun. This time, I try to also get the Life Leech staff to clip through the door so I can re-acquire it and use it for the next level. The staff appears to clip through the door easily when I place it at the corner of the door instead of the middle. With the Double TNT setup, I can pull it off pretty consistently. At the beginning of the video, I believe I messed up from jumping too soon.

Map 9 now has a couple new clips. I can skip a big chunk of the level by placing a Life Leech at 6:36 and performing a clip that works similarly to a door glide trick. When a sprite object is near a sector split, and you run into the sprite, this can lead Caleb to clip through the wall next to the sector split. The only problem with using this clip is that you skip picking up some of the keys, and the door at 7:10 requires all 4 keys to open. Fortunately, you can clip through it by using a sprite boost (in this case, jumping on top of a gargoyle or zombie to increase Caleb's speed) and strafing against the corner of the door. The clip is pretty difficult to do quickly, and when you do get it to work, you have to be careful not to fall into the pit in the next room (I lost a couple runs because of that).

Overall, pretty decent run. Obviously sub 7 minutes is doable, but I just wanted to get 7:20 or better, and wanted to show off the new tricks!

Hope anyone who watches this enjoys the video. This was played on NBlood. Haven't tested the new tricks on DOS yet, but I know all the other tricks work in the vanilla game.
