I also have a strat there, but it's still risky
since it's only the gladiator who can open the pit, kill the first one and flash the second one away and while he's defending, you can move Asterix if the lions aren't too close
Yeah, I'm thinking right at the start where you get in on the cataput you get a full combo meter, takes like no time at all. Then you get asterix into the waggon and all that, then push off the gladiator from the switch and wait for the gate to close. Then kill the gladiator with the combo and make sure the new gladiator spawns on the side where Asterix is. Now if you're fast you can 100% skip him.
It's a bit more risky then I'd like it
I want to find a way to make it less risky but it's hard man
I hope you find some way to do it perfectly consistant (even though it most of the time works)
Even if it's one second slower I think it would be worth making it safer
Having a run die there hurts so much
That's why I never do it when I'm not 100% sure it's safe to do when the first Gladiator died
Yeah, also sometimes the tigers just instantly send you into the pit :)
They also stop you from pushing forward sometimes, cause sometimes they don't get moved then and are just stuck. And then the left tiger simply kicks you into the pit
Yeah, basically what I'm thinking is using the combo to kill the left tiger, then jabbing the gladiator untill the trap closes and then using the combo to kill him and get to asterix so that the next one can't get to the switch
But it's harder then I expected
Either way getting the full combo faster might be worth just in general. But IDK
but where exactly do you want to get the combo bar?
At the area right after the catapult there are many romans spawning
get in there and start punishing while moving the camera so that the corner right to the left is behind thus forcing them to spawn from there.
