EscondeR, I think my optional limitations got lost in the trigger squares discussion - in post #20 of the arrangement thread, I declared for Pistols Only and Low Kills (priority to All Pickups).

Ikas90's Stats
I'll use this post to reserve my stats.
I've downloaded the demo just to get a hang of it. The game should come in the mail sometime soon. Does anyone know if airmail operates from USA to Australia these Christmas holidays? If not, I'll probably be waiting until January for the game to arrive. Anyway, here are the stats for the first level. My game arrived a few days ago in the mail. Surprisingly quick. Highland Fling Time Taken: 19:40 Secrets Found: 3 of 3 Kills: 21 Ammo Used: 532 Hits: 488 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 2.67km Some of the jumps in this level were challenging and took me a few tries, but overall the level was amazingly easy. Dogs were relatively easy to kill and didn't cause too much trouble. I found safe spots to shoot them from. Oh, and I skipped a vulture and a dog. A vulture from the top of the roof where you get the second Thistle Stone, and the dog towards the end right after the control room after the third secret. Willard's Lair Time Taken: 11:09 Secrets Found: 3 of 3 Kills: 10 Ammo Used: 240 Hits: 207 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 1.90km A much shorter level than the first, which was a bit of a relief. Grabbing some of the items was difficult, but I managed it without too much fuss. No part really frustrated me. Overall, this was a great level. I skipped killing most of the Highlanders towards the end. Shakespeare Cliff Time Taken: 19:50 Secrets Found: 3 of 3 Kills: 18 Ammo Used: 529 Hits: 476 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 2.40km This was a pretty good level. I did have trouble at one part, because I left a guard alive. I had to climb the ladder at the big green hole area, and he would usually kill me before I got all the way up. I was lucky to get away alive, as was completing the rest of the level. Sleeping with the Fishes Time Taken: 19:25 Secrets Found: 3 of 3 Kills: 7 Ammo Used: 313 Hits: 286 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 2.37km Probably my favourite level so far. It was pretty good. The fish at the end of the level took most of my health away, but overall, no major frustrations. It was a very enjoyable level. I might also add that it's hard knowing how much health to conserve since this is my first playthrough, so I try to lose as least health as possible. But at the end, I knew I was close to the end of the level so I let the fish take away almost all of my health. But yeah, best level so far. I hope the remaining levels will be at least as good. It's a Madhouse! Time Taken: 17:03 Secrets Found: 3 of 3 Kills: 17 Ammo Used: 441 Hits: 377 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 2.97km Another great level. This one wasn't too difficult either. The only slightly difficult part was getting that Aviary Key out of the piranha water hole. I managed it in a few tries, and the rest of the level was pretty much a breeze. The eviscerated corpse at the end did give me a bit of a shock though, causing me to fall into the pit to my death. Reunion I've finally found some time to continue and finish the last level. It was very short, and not difficult at all. Infact this was definitely the easiest level for me. But overall, I'm glad to be done with the game, and I definitely enjoyed this challenge. Here are the final statistics: Time Taken: 01:35:36 Secrets Found: 15 of 15 Kills: 81 Ammo Used: 2318 Hits: 2079 Health Packs Used: 0.0 Distance Travelled: 12.23km Last edited by Ikas90; 23-05-09 at 13:05. |

I thought I looked at a spreadsheet of the participants. Never mind!

Be careful though - there are many pickups, secrets and and even entire rooms missing in the demo, but which are present in the full game. So don't forget about those when you finally get the full game! |

Here is one for rr_carroll's collection.
Mytly aim the jump a tiny bit to left from what you've seen in this video. Ikas90 in the demo there is a rock which was removed in the final version, from where you can jump for the uzis. Last edited by akci; 18-12-08 at 17:45. |

So sumarizing all of the above - the water jump trick for the uzis is officially allowed!

my stats
My limitations: generic + all kills, pistols only, no scratch.
Highland Fling No scratch. Since we are allowed I used the water trick to get the uzis. Time Taken 01:19:11 Secrets Found 3 of 3 Kills 24 Ammo Used 918 Hits 508 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 6.12km Willard's Lair No scratch. Time Taken 01:01:38 Secrets Found 3 of 3 Kills 21 Ammo Used 706 Hits 516 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 4.92km To get all pickups, at the spiked walls I went for the large medi first, then after pulling the switch to lower the middle spiked floor I climbed down to the spiked corridor, on the side of the ladder Lara can let go and drop next to the spikes unharmed. She can also climb back up the same way, that too will be important. Took the pickups under the lowering spiked ceilings, ignored the 2 packs of shotgun shells in the alcove at last one to get down without injury. Crawled out, collected the secret and harpoons, then went back to the spiked ceilings area again to get those shells, and this time climbed up the way I came in. Shakespeare Cliff No scratch. Time Taken 01:27:00 Secrets Found 3 of 3 Kills 30 Ammo Used 911 Hits 703 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 7.16km Sleeping with the Fishes No scratch. Time Taken 01:46:14 Secrets Found 3 of 3 Kills 15 Ammo Used 779 Hits 510 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 11.71km Found some harpoons which aren't mentioned by any walkthru that I know of. They blend in the texture quite well, but still in plain sight. It's a Madhouse! No scratch. Time Taken 01:30:58 Secrets Found 3 of 3 Kills 23 Ammo Used 733 Hits 484 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 6.48km Getting the key from the underwater pit without health loss, before the piranhas get there, took a zillion reloads, but it can be done by a fluke. There are 23 kills on the level, the Traveler's Guide missed a monkey in the first secret area, counts just 1 but there are 2. Stella's walkthru also states 22, but she mentions monkeys (plural) in that secret, so she must have missed on another one. Reunion No scratch. Time Taken 00:32:13 Secrets Found None Kills 10 Ammo Used 295 Hits 229 Health Packs Used 0.0 Distance Travelled 2.02km Level stats taken from the inventory. Here is the inventory at the end of Reunion. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j.../inventory.jpg And the final stats. Last edited by akci; 27-01-09 at 08:16. Reason: added Madhouse |
