  1. Phoenotopia 100% GQIGA (Got Questions? I Got Answers)
  2. =====================================================
  3. Q: What is this game?
  4. A: It's a free online Zelda-inspired 2D platformer provided by Newgrounds. It's also hosted at http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/phoenotopia, which is my preference because it's easier to refresh on OneMoreLevel than on Newgrounds, and also because I am more familiar with OneMoreLevel.
  5.  
  6. Q: Why would you run a game like this?
  7. A: Because it's fun. (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/561/280/7f5.gif)
  8.  
  9. Q: How do you record footage of a web game?
  10. A: I use OBS. It's a free and easy download at https://obsproject.com/
  11.  
  12. Q: What split program do you use?
  13. A: I use Llanfair because I am on OS X. This program can be downloaded at http://jenmaarai.com/llanfair/en/
  14. To be honest, I never knew how to set it up until I realized that you need a second mouse button.
  15.  
  16. Q: What's with the lag?
  17. A: Apparently, my machine has a problem simultaneously recording through OBS, keeping Chrome open and connected, and keeping Llanfair open. For the time being, there's just nothing I can do about it.
  18.  
  19. Q: Why is the audio quality so bad?
  20. A: I couldn't be bothered to set up a program for capturing computer audio (El Capitan makes it impossible to set up WavTap, and Soundflower seems too complicated for me to deal with), so I just decided to stick with external audio.
  21.  
  22. Q: What is required for 100%?
  23. A: All Heart Rubies, all Moonstones, Blood Ring, Nebula Armlet, Lucky Belt, Ancient Armor, Morning Star, Ki Spear Technique Scroll, and giving Translucent Meat to the chef in Daea (the last of which is why we farm in Misty Gorge 2).
  24.  
  25. Q: What do RTA and IGT mean?
  26. A: Real Time Attack and In Game Time. The former is shown on the splits, and the latter is shown in the credits. The in-game timer is a little funky compared to real time, so pay no heed to the difference between them.
  27.  
  28. Q: Why are you moving around weirdly with that chest / piggy bank / jar over your head?
  29. A: I am performing a trick that I call Loot Duping, which is the act of making a loot container break twice on the same frame. There are two methods of Loot Duping: pixel-perfect and frame-perfect, but speedruns only use the former because the latter is impractical.
  30. The pixel-perfect method requires throwing the loot container at such a distance that it precisely reaches a corner, hitting the wall and the floor at the same time. For all pixel-perfect loot dupe positionings, please consult the following document:

  32. The frame-perfect method, if you must know, consists of placing a bomb near a chest and destroying it with melee on the exact frame when the bomb explodes.
  33.  
  34. Q: What the heck is a JBJ?
  35. A: Javelin Bomb Jump. This is demonstrated correctly in Misty Gorge 2, and it saves having to backtrack an extra screen farther away. You just stand on a Javelin, place a Bomb, and quickly jump and throw the Javelin to boost onto the newly thrown Javelin to gain a little height. Saving time in Misty Gorge 2 is the only practical use of this trick; I only pretended it was practical on floor 6 of Prince Tower.
  36.  
  37. Q: Is there a guide for this?
  38. A: I actually have three documents concerning Phoenotopia 100% runs.
