I wasted a couple of seconds but managed to do it in my own unique way. You have to be quick and run behind him before he re-enters onto his programmed path. You have to lead him to you and create enough distance afterwards to make him lose interest and become idle. In the next screen, I run by an UNUK and attempt to fake out another Shawra. I can either run above or below and with practice I manage to get by. Plus, I have virtually no room to run around. This one is tough to get around because it doesn't move far and is very fast. My first opponent is the bat like creature called a SHAWRA. Here, we begin the skill of enemy dodging. Many people say they can't stand the voice acting in this game, but I don't find it so bad and in fact, it's rather funny. I don't want to listen to gibberish for the rest of the game. The information is extremely helpful to determine enemy attributes, but I can't waste the time. I turn off a battle feature that displays damage results for every attack and actually pauses for the game to do so. I change a battle feature and a voice feature. Kalas can grab a DARK FLARE LV1 during this segment, but I skip it because dark flares suck for this entire game, and it really isn't needed for Xelha.įor segment 2 I start in the overworld of Sadal Suud and access my menu options. I thought I handled the opening run perfectly grabbing only the necessary items, with excellent dialogue progression, and near perfect movement. I speed through the conversation and finally get to save and finish the segment. I leave the house and speak to Xelha, who's dressed all in pink. This Magnus is of course for Xelha, whom I will be meeting soon. This is a must for the boss, who has water attributes. For whatever the reason the kid's dialogue window stalls when he says, "he's way smarter than the drunks around here." I run to the mayor's house and make sure to collect a FIRE BURST LV1 Magnus. First, I have to talk to the kid about Meemai. After Kalas collects his winglet I leave and concentrate on immediate story progression. Cut scenes cannot be skipped, and I am constantly jamming on the A button for this entire segment. Larikush's house in Celebrai, nothing but dialogue here. I go with the always classy 007 because it's quick and cool. Before Kalas begins his long journey his spirit sidekick needs a name. We have a shitload to talk about, so let's get started. If you are reading this then you are in for a treat. So this is it, my Baten Kaitos speed run.
