Not many tries were required to improve the old record with 28 seconds. If Vengeance is the hardest level to speedrun Abduction is by far the easiest. After using every single trick I could think of I managed to improve it with 17 seconds. If you miss the wallclimbing with 1/10 of an inch inside and around those narrow vent shafts you're screwed, you get completely disorientated and lose lots of time. Just getting through the level with a somewhat constant speed can (and will if your name isn't Luck or Faith) be hell. Without doubt the hardest level to speedrun in the entire game, at least if you want to make it look really good. The predator fight couldn't have been much better, although another 1-2 seconds could be removed if the first tail attack had hit but instead I got lucky and the AI locked up, so no effort was required to finish it. Surviving the "three-hundred-feet-free-fall" doesn't have anything to with cheating, playing as alien you have the ability to fall from any height without taking damage. This is actually the only real shortcut I've found in the entire alien campaign. The hardest thing is almost right at the start, getting past the sentry guns and down the ventilation shaft alive. How well did I do? About 26 seconds faster than my previous record. At first I didn't think I could improve this level very much but after a "few" tries I discovered that a 30 seconds improvement was possible. In this level I abuse the pounce so much it should almost be illegal.
Level 2: Surprise (ignore that the game write Escape, bugs bugs bugs). Instead of waiting for the guards to turn their backs I just rush through and hope that I will get to the end of the level alive, and it worked and saved A LOT of time (provided by Yautja).
As the chestburster I use a trick I didn't think of at all in my first run. As the facehugger I perfected my pouncing. Yautja for support and tips, without some of his tips this run wouldn't be much faster than the first.Ĭhillout for support and for handing me some competition, which drove me to make this improved run. In case you for some reason don't want to watch all parts I recommend part 3, 4 and 7, they have the highest wow-factor.īefore I start with the level comments I would like to hand out a few thanks to people who has contributed to the run in one way or another. I have disabled the music because it is just disturbing. On top of that there are countless bugs in this game that cause further problems. Even though this game is very short I don't do an SS run for one single reason, this game don't run very well on modern systems. All the levels in this game are very linear and straight-forward so I won't bother commenting about the levels themselves too much, if you haven't played the game before you don't have to worry about missing anything anyway (except for cut scenes). One thing I abuse even more than in my first run is the pounce attack, after a lot of testing I discovered that just changing the angle a little will save you up to three seconds in some places. I thought the old record was very good, and many who saw the run believed it was very close to optimal, but when I explored this game a little more I discovered several places where I could improve my old run. This is actually my second AvP 2 speedrun as alien, and the goal was to beat the previous attempt at around 23:20 (never submitted).
