This video was made using an older combination: Intel i5-750 4-core processor, 8 GB RAM and the AMD Radeon RX 580, for as far as I can remember correctly. Recording done with OBS at the time. Currently using a AMD Ryzen 5 6-Core processor, 16GB RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 580, recording with Streamlabs.

It is rough for older games. I enjoy playing this series, still need to play RoA3 even😅 I want to share the routes and times I can achieve so other might see the crazy things you can do. Might even uncover long-lost strategies!

@@Happydanser it's sad that you don't get the right amount of respect but I'll try to tell devs about you so they will know what a great speedrunner they have

I would need to brush up on the War aspect of the game. I will be speedrunning this game!

Well, all the levels except Hades and the boss fights have a timetrial, but those are not visible in/accessed through story mode. I have a few videos of my Timetrials (some WRs on the PC leaderboard). I would also recommend watching other runs/runners of this game by visiting the SRC leaderboard ( www.speedrun.com/rock_of_ages )

Happy to help. 1) There is 23 levels total. 1 tutorial, 18 War levels, 4 boss levels. 2) Hades, the first tutorial level, is the shorted at 2~3 minutes. Level War 1 - 14 are around 5 minutes each, War 15 - 18 are likely around 10 minutes with the long tracks/harder enemy. 3) A boss level is gimmicky. Somewhere between 2~5 minutes each. 4) Adding the average times would result in 2hours 15 minutes of playtime, but I would take a full 3 hours to include menu-time, a defeat at 1 or 2 hard levels and to collect the progression items. The progression items unlock the boss stage, most of these are in your way during WAR so you will likely collect enough playing casually. Luckily you do not need all of the progression items/collectables for the final Boss. A 100% offline completion would more likely take around 5 hours with some collectables being hard to collect in a single WAR attempt. For quick 100% achievement completion you might want to ask a friend/friendly RoA player to battle/lose to you, that would take another hour with good planning.

Yes, that is me! The video-proof is also uploaded here. As well as a video with keyboard-inputs shown for a similar run.

@@Happydanser oh that’s cool I added you on steam

Far from consistent, for 30 secs a try this is not bad to reset on at the start.

@@Happydanser true, true. As long as the only major skip is at the beginning it isnt bad.

You only see the good runs ;) Lots of trial and error behind the scene It is fun to improve these ridiculous fast timetrials

Yes it was, I am currently taking a jab at all the Timetrials in this game.

@@Happydanser i also like time trials i still play roa 1 today

I noticed this behavior before, running the any% main story. When "unstacking" to skip the cutscene I give a directional input as well, knowing where to go next, which after a cutscene sometimes turns the camera in that direction. I have this happen consistently on the Zeppelin cutscene after you pass potpourri and keep holding left while skipping the cutscene it will instantly turn the camera there. If needed I can record some examples on the leaderboard.
