He actually doesn't die from the explosives directly, what kills him is getting flung into the wall and hitting it at such a high speed that it just insta-kills him! This is a strategy you can do with Boc (which technically is faster than the force throw strategy), but because of how he moves it's very random and can cause you to lose the run if you go for it. Light side is /significantly/ slower, for one because it adds some really long unskippable cutscenes, but also because you lose out on the force throw quick kills. The only advantage on light side is that you can use force protect in one spot for a cool strategy, but it doesn't save much. I tried finding a video for you but they're long gone-- light side was mega-obsoleted aaaages like at least 8 years ago. LOL 11:14 is this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OlkHyXa8uUnrM Audio missing on this video since I only had the audio going to the stream. I think I didn't have it on the local recording because of copyright..? Not sure. Legendary clip though.

@@ocircles738 Thanks for getting back to me so fast! So on the Dark side they did not bother to complete cutscenes for the Jedi fights? I notice their absence? ...and you are right to hate Boc, he is the biggest loser with his silly two swords. Question, what did you do to defeat Yun the first time? Or is he just that lame?

@@jbol2454 Always glad to talk about JK :) Yeah, on dark side the cutscenes literally just do not exist; no clue why, I'm guessing dark side was added as kind of an after-thought. And oh you have no idea how much I hate Boc, I've spent countless hours trying to find better ways to kill him but literally the only thing that is consistent is the force throw thing. It loses ~7s vs the fastest sequencer strat, but it's semi-rare to get it that fast. And more importantly, Boc can decide to misbehave and go on an adventure for 1m+ if you do the sequencer strat, so the risk/reward is kind of skewered. But on average you lose ~3s doing the force throw strat so it's not too bad. The force throw strat also has some amount of RNG, because literally all the bosses in this game gotta be like that for some reason, but at least you don't risk losing the run. Even Maw has a 50/50 coinflip when he decides whether to go left or right at the start of the fight, which is significant. Boc is so frustrating since it's right at the end of a really hard run (I've done a lot of other difficult speedruns, and it doesn't even look like Jedi Knight is that difficult comparatively but it really is the hardest run I've ever done). We've always been kind of haplessly joking about Boc whenever a run ended because of his BS. Boc is the gatekeeper and run-verifier, and boy is he a bitter and grumpy guy. As for Yun 1, yeah he's a complete pushover. Three secondary-fire lightsaber swings and he's gone. It's the same on hard difficulty even. There's a couple of things with Yun 1 though: first one is that right as the level starts he will either force jump towards you or try to run around the table. It's a 50/50 chance, so you can end up restarting the level a few times there if you're unlucky. After that you have to weave in and out at a sort of weird timing to bait him into swinging at you, because he's invulnerable when he's not swinging (he'll just deflect everything with the lightsaber). You don't want to get hit there at all either because you need as much health and shields as possible going into the next level, and usually you are at 100/100 going into Yun 1 because of all the boosts at the end of Fuel Station Btw if you liked this then I highly recommend checking the Mysteries of the Sith run (u know the sequel to this, same game engine). It's not as difficult as JK to speedrun, but visually it is a lot more impressive and fun to watch

Thanks :) it's a bit hard to feel good about getting the 0:10 this way but at least I discovered something important

You shut your mouth

That's a great way of putting it 😂yeah, they just don't make 'em how they used to

We only use the classiest means of transportation in JK 😎

He unfortunately deserved it for standing in the corridor :( I need to be able to get back out there without bumping into anything you know!

​@@ocircles738yea i know lol

well yeah can you fight me url like right now? pls?????

@@ocircles738 yes *fights you and wins* mwahahhahaha

Somehow I made it to the end 😊 glad that I got to show it to you

Thanks! 🙂 Got no clue how many hours I put in but I think honestly I'd rather not know; this is by far the one single thing I've put most time into lol

Ha, glad to hear it :) the first playthrough was definitely a struggle at points, especially since I was playing with software rendering + lighting which makes big chunks of the game basically pitch black. There was definitely a couple of times I got stuck for like half an hour at some spot, aimlessly running around the same area without being able to find out how to progress. The force seeing at Dromund Kaas wasn't entirely obvious either

4 years huh.. Soon 9 years since I first picked this up, whew.. Time flies :') hope to see someone beat this some day, there's still time to eek out without implementing absurd strats!

Easy. The other difficulties loses out on a lot of boosts, particularly on The Lost Disk, and is just a lot slower overall. Not as fun to play.

@@ocircles738 thx for a quick response. Nice speedrun btw🔥

Thank you!! I'm rewatching this run right now and honestly it's is kind of unbelievable to even myself that I pulled this off. So many years of work went into perfecting the run all the way back from Ysalamiri's 2014 AGDQ appearance. This game was literally my life for a good while, so now I'm just so glad that I was able to show that to you :)

Thanks :) there's also a MotS run up that people like much more than this one. It's a lot less optimized, didn't spend nearly as much time on that as I did with JK, but it goes much faster and has more impressive-looking tricks

Was about to say that there is no such thing as too much when it comes to JK but then I remembered all the 24h+ sessions😅

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKiwY56DgMynmrc Thank you :D speedrunning is a great exercise in mentality, lots you can learn from it when grinding away that is applicable in pretty much everything else

@@ocircles738 that's amazing haha

Actually a completely unintentional thumbnail, it just happened to end up that way from the auto-generated ones; since it was a long cutscene I was playing "Café bärs, han är lugn" during the long waiting bit on that level which is a parody of the scene from Sökarna, I did have the audio from it also running on stream but can't here for copyright reasons. But the reason foir it is bc of legendary Swedish speedrunner Fniure who would also play the original scene from Sökarna during a cutscene while speedrunning Majora's Mask-- it's a homage to my retired fellow countryman. He deleted all of his WRs when he wanted to quit so there's no vids anymore, but he was absolutely dominating in that game for years. He was the only one who could beat Ennopp, which is something that I couldn't say for any other MM runner, past and present. Never forget Fniure.

It's brutal but Boc deserves all of it, an instant death from explosion would be too kind Actually this quick kill is a bit slower (anywhere from 2s to 6s slower vs fastest explosives strat), but because of how the lure works with the explosive strat there's a decent chance that Boc will just go on a picnic and you will lose the run for no reason

Shut up, Wesle-- I mean Anakin

Hahah yeah the game is pretty broken on v1.02-1.07. I accidentally did a REALLY weird out of bounds when I was a kid that I'm pretty sure only existed in the demo (it would warp you to the completely wrong map tile when you ran around north of the castle) and that's what made me want to try and break the game as much as possible :') The RNG I'm referring to is mostly about the gold drops. When you arrive at the dark lands cow you're gonna be a bit short, sometimes you'll have more and sometimes you'll have less, but you'll always be a bit short. So ideally you'll get all the gold you need from the pillbugs to the left of the cow. Sometimes they just don't give you enough and you'll have to do the screen left of that, with the gold chest. The other (and more important) RNG is how long it takes for you to get the shopkeepers to walk up to the wall so that you can interact with them. A LOT of runs die here because they just don't want to behave. I think it's like a 1/4? But they can also delay moving a lot so you can lose tons of time even if they're choosing the right path. And sometimes they choose the right path but move away so quickly that you don't have time to interact with them (that's usually just a skill issue though, you should be able to catch them most of the time. It depends-- their speed is random as well)

hax$$$$

Best of luck :)

do you need to magnetize the cell key on agent? imma find out right now...

Do you?

There’s a certain side aim strafe thing that does it. Yes normally you always have to pull the key off the wall with the watch magnet

You gotta secondary fire them while standing still and then move backwards

Don't ask me, I have no clue. Had way better runs than this, 3 boosters that were faster than other 16s in RTA, 3 FIVE boosters that were good but still didn't get 16. This is such a shit level

And then the 16 end up being on like the worst possible run. That Boris stuck should have made it mid 17. Idfk, I hate this PB and I don't want to look at it ever again

@@ocircles738 Any advice for completing runway on 00 agent in general?

@@hereskyubi3333 If you mean for speedrunning, don't use R-Lean. It's still RNG heavy and difficult even without R-Lean if you use the nades, but I'd strongly advice against trying R-Lean for that level if you're new to running the game. If you're just trying to complete it normally then using the tank is the way to go. That actually used to be the speedrun strat before Boss used nades; iirc they turned the tank turret around and shot backwards to go faster (could be wrong, but they definitely did the driving backwards thing for Streets way back in the day)

@@ocircles738 Interesting, I thought that tank was for decoration. Thanks!

You should see the 0:21 nade juggle, it's beyond cooked
