There are two easy-ish save crystals you can get from the start point without much risk. But after that you'll want to use at least one of them before going on to some of the more dangerous areas/tasks unless you want to doom yourself to repeating long sections you've already done. |

It sure is! I haven't found the determination to try something of that magnitude...yet.

A no medipack, all secrets run in itself is not that difficult. It's when you start adding other restrictions that it becomes much more demanding, but also rewarding like Maverin stated: Quote:

Gonna have to restart my run... I missed a secret in one level
Ah well... least I can do a legit FULL no medpacks all secrets run - wish me luck. Been a while so I don't know everything off by heart like most speedrunners etc do Edit: So pissed. Just had to restart Temple Ruins right from near the end thanks to being on low health. Forced drops and that darn spikewall gauntlet let me down, and cannot get past the spiked ceiling ladder area. Had to restart the level... I took no damage from anything else which was a shame.. really took me time being careful. Urghh Thats 47 minutes wasted Thats the annoying thing. At least PC players can have multiple saves and slots (and cheat with the green crystals for free health) Its not like I could load an earlier save on PSX Last edited by dcw123; 05-11-18 at 15:47. |

dcw123, how did it go after all this time?
Keep in mind that even though it's not possible to use savestates on a real PS1, you can always buy a lot of memory cards and change them to have more of the "Current Position" saves. With emulation you have it even easier. You can have almost unlimited memory cards without spending a single dollar - utilize this fact. But when it comes to this "no loads" challenge. Hey, that's a much better representation of reality and the dangers a player would face in a real life trip. And a valuable lesson why one should be careful in potentially dangerous situations and come prepared to face them. You wouldn't jog or sprint while, let's say, traversing over giant pits in the mountains, right? Know what I mean? The walking function is there in the game for something and how it prevents accidental drops. With that said I'd like to see someone complete the game this way while walking and enjoying the scenery rather than running through. |
