You know you've done something wrong when someone makes a downgrade patch for your game
Failentin
Omg, the wooden barrier in the second camp of Gaul is destroyable with the magic potion
Failentin
I'm going to try to beat this camp without the crystal menhir then and see if it's worth anything 😄
Failentin
Okay, it's completely useless
Failentin
Thanks to that fucking quest log
Failentin
It really destroys all the fun in speedrunning this game :/
Failentin
So you can complete the second camp early, but you still have to do anything in the right order, the game doesn't even save the boat license
Stinkek
boat license? :WutFace:
Failentin
Yeah, you have to pick up Epidamais' boat license that the Romans stole to be able to sail to Thule x)
Noxus94
well, we don't have an inventory, so you don't actually get anything :/ All you get is your quest updated
Failentin
@Noxus94 Why do you think that getting on the path leading back to the boat after the camp in Thule early is useless? You can enter the camp, quit the camp via the menu and you are already in the village! This way would surely be faster than the intended way to the village 😮
Noxus94
I don't think so, especially because you have to do the forced fight that way
Failentin
Hm well, I think we'll just have to time the two ways
Failentin
With a good fight, I'm pretty sure this one is faster
Martyste Tendertail
Quite possibly, the way back goes much more straight
Martyste Tendertail
And, you don't have void, only water to slow you
Failentin
Okay, the intended way takes about 3:30 to the village, while the unintended one takes about 2:25 (both without magic potion, timing starts at the spot where you do the double dash)
Failentin
With magic potion, I guess it would be about 1:45
Failentin
This game is so weird
Failentin
In the camp in Thule, when I do Marty's skip, Astérix gets teleported like 50% of the time back to Obelix for reasons, even though I'm not switching characters or anything
