Risky's Revenge 100% Route changes (from pre-9/2015 routes)

Full route here: http://pastebin.com/rkGXKHAL

It turns out that it is faster to do the double jump using fire in the Polyp Bay cave during your first trip through it, but the route I wrote does not include it. It's only 10-15 seconds faster and is really hard to do. Plus, I just flat out did not feel like doing another rewrite of the route for something that I can't see a lot of people wanting to do immediately upon learning the game. If you want to do it here's the shortened list of changes, aside from entering the cave post lab 1/prelab 2, the only other major change is squid baby order: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snhqn5

Lab 1:

	When getting Key 1, collect all the pots of gems before you drop down instead of getting them when going for the Jam in the vertical room 2 rooms before Key 1 Room.

	In the water room during the part with the moving spike platform you can jump right off it and land on the next platform without waiting for it to move. Activate the pike ball right before you land on the platform before the moving spike platform and just run, stop a half a second then jump forward.

	If you time it right, at the part with the 3 spike platforms in a row you can get to the door by only jumping on the 2nd one.

	After getting the Jam in the vertical room 2 rooms before Key 1 Room as monkey, backtrack to the main room instead of heading through to the Key 1 room. It's 10 seconds faster according to Xsczo.

Post Lab 1 – Lab 2:
	Shopping Trip 2:
		Super Pike Ball 150 Gems 1 Jam
		Fireball 30 Gems
		Spitfire 50 Gems 1 Jam
		Storm Puff 50 Gems

		Attract Magic 100 Gems 1 Jam
		OR
		Magic Fill 150 Gems 1 Jam

380 OR 430 Gems (depends on whether you bought attract magic or magic fill)


	Lab 2/Ammo Tower is faster to do twice in a row then to come back to it with monkey bullet. Transforming into monkey each time costs half a second or less. There’s also the whole, having to exit and reenter the tower thing.

Post Lab 2 – Pre Lab 3:

	Post learning Elephant, once you come back from the area with both a Jam and a Heart Holder, use the Tangle Forest warp and warp to Baron Desert.

	Once you leave the desert use the Pumpkin Patch warp to warp back to Tangle Forest.

	Once you get to the backmost layer of Tangle Forest go right to get the Coffee beans first instead of 2nd.

	Once you get the coffee machine and deathwarp back to the beginning of the screen enter the cave with the jam in it. Wrong Warp to Risky’s then warp to Lilac Fields.

	Get the jam from the cave to the right of Lilac Fields after warping back instead of getting the jam right before the endgame.

Shopping Trip 3:
Mega Pike Ball 300 Gems 2 Jams
Silky Creme 200 Gems 3 Jams
Map 20 Gems

Attract Magic 100 Gems 1 Jam
OR
Magic Fill 150 Gems 1 Jam

620-670 Gems (if you bought Attract Magic first the buy Magic Fill, and vice versa)
(Also Storm Puff if you didn’t get it during Shopping Trip 2, you need it to get into Lab 3)

Lab 3:

When opening Lab 3 activate Storm Puff first then attach explosives, skips waiting for the cloud to activate.

		EYE ACTIVATION CHEAT SHEET:
2nd Room Eye:
Hit eye Down
Hit eye Up
Room with open and shut eyes
Hit right eye Shut
		Go in Right door
		Go in Left door
Room with 2 Rotating Eyes:
			Leave eyes facing Right
			Hit both eyes Down
			Hit both eyes Left
			Hit both eyes Up
			Hit right eye Down
Hit right eye Left and left eye Right (HAVE CAMERA OPEN AND READY TO TAKE A PIC HERE)
			Hit right eye Right and left eye Left
Room with open and shut eyes
			Hit left eye Shut
			Go in Right Door
			Hit right eye Open
			Go in Left Door

There are sections where I noticed people not using Monkey Bullet where they should be. Specifically in the rooms after the two rotating eyes: when they are both facing right and when they are both facing left.

Post Lab 3:

	After leaving Lab 3, head left and transform into mermaid. jump in the hole then swim down, left, down into a small passageway, down again, right, down through a passageway until you see a little outlet going down, then head left to enter a secret passageway.

	After collecting the first golden squid baby at the beginning of Mermaid Cliffs, there is an optional shopping trip you can do. Only do it if you feel you need the potions, just buy these things then the rest after leaving Lab 3 part 2:

	Shopping Trip
		Super Silky Crème 300 Gems 3 Jams
		Crush Puff 125 Gems 1 Jam
		Flamethrower 300 Gems 2 Jams

		725 Gems total

	After shop head to Lilac Fields and warp to Tangle Forest.

	The Jam in the cave where you got coffee machine is gotten pre lab 3 now instead of post lab 3, so after you warp head straight to Lab 1

	From Forest warp to Mermaid Cliffs and get the Golden Baby Squid by going into the water and: Go down, right, down, and left until you enter a secret passageway.

	In the Mermaid Cliffs cave:
		Jump on the platform and jump into the pool on the other side. Swim all the way over until you get to the second Golden Baby Squid.

		From platform near squid, backdash in the water so you go right under it. Transform into mermaid and leave cave.

	Warp to Seaside Retreat and get the last Golden Baby Squid there.

	From the last Golden Baby Squid, run through Polyp Bay until you see a cave. Enter it and get the jam there then fall in the pit and exit it instead of Wrong Warping.

	Run from the cave back to your house and talk to Sky/Bolo for the Bubbles.

	For Lab 3 Part 2 going through the rooms with the 10 pots is now optional in the gem gathering route, although depending on your gem count you might want to at least go through the 1st or even 2nd room.

	SHOPPING TRIP 4:
	Super Silky Crème 300 Gems 3 Jams
	Mega Puff 125 Gems 1 Jam
	Crush Puff 250 Gems 2 Jams
	Flamethrower 300 Gems 2 Jams

	975 Gems

Notable Gem collection spots:

General:

	Kill every Orc you see, they give out 5 gems each, which adds up a ton. For example from entering Tangle Forest pre-lab 1 to talking to the cook there are 7 orcs you’ll encounter. That’s 35 gems right there and they only take about a second or two to kill if you kill them fast, even with single pike.

	Another enemy you can grind are the mermaids, they give 5 gems each. The issues however are that the mermaids have a slow death animation, and also they only appear in Mermaid Cliffs, which you won't get to until after Shopping Trip 3, where 5 Gems isn't as big of a deal. They tend to respawn if you move away from their spot slightly however so they're at the very least a good backup if you're low on gems.

Up to Lab 1:

Kill the dog after giving him back to the cook [100 Gems]

In the room you collect Key 1 in, activate pike ball right before you go through the flower pot enemy [you can get hit by the enemy once without taking damage] to break the blocks below the platform right after.

Hit the Chest from the right side, jump, then break the blocks while climbing through the little tunnel. Climb into the tunnel on the chest’s right side and zip over to the hidden area and get all 3 pots (one’s hidden in some bushes).

In the room right before you learn Monkey, Fall down to the bottom of the room (do NOT fall off too far to the left to avoid spawning the platforms up high too early, it’ll mess up the pattern), break the breakable blocks on the right. Open the chest, collect the gems, then proceed to jump back up, breaking as many pots as you can, Go left again and fall down to the platform below.

In the room/set of rooms right below the main room, Hit the breakable blocks right under the first vase you see and break the gems as you’re breaking the blocks. [12 gems]
Afterwards, climb up as monkey, Grab the pots under the main floor platform [12 gem pot and a 5 gem pot, sometimes will have heart][anywhere between 211-223 gems], then drop down a bit. Zip towards the pots in a hidden alcove. Break all 4 and climb up [34 gems at best?] [anywhere between 252-256, probably even lower than that at worst if some of the pots drops a heart] Finally, break the 2 pots right below main floor platform [12 and a 5 pot]



in the room with the chains where the door leads to the final boss, climb up the wall on the left as monkey. Keep climbing to enter a secret alcove. Break open the two pots, fall down and enter the locked door.

From Post Lab 1 to Lab 2:

At the Pumpkin Patch warp talk to Bolo for 100 Gems. He only appears here right after beating the first boss. He won't be here once you talk to the mayor in Seaside Retreat.

[You need 380 or 430 gems for shopping trip 2, depends on whether you buy attract magic or magic fill]

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE POTIONS FOR LATE GAME: break open the chest right before entering Polyp bay for 12 gems, if you do that though you’ll have to transform into monkey right before entering, otherwise if you transform once you enter it’ll mess up totem pole pattern.

In the area where the mayor is, break the two chests at the entrance.

After entering the cave in the desert, Head through the corridors until you see a divide in pathways, one way blocked by breakable blocks. Head the opposite direction. Transform into monkey once you see the cave and jump through a secret alcove blocked from sight by tree branches. You’ll see a 5 and a 12 gem pot. Dupe both. After talking to Ammo Baron and you re-enter the cave go up and dupe these pots again.
Go right and break the breakable blocks, fall down, there’s a longish passageway that leads towards a room a bunch of pots. Climb in it as monkey, dupe the 3 pots.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE POTIONS FOR LATE GAME: In the room right after learning Elephant: once you get back to the top jump on the very edge of the platform to the right of you. Charge twice, the second time jump right after you charge. If you time it right you should be able to jump across pretty easily. It’s slightly tricky to time but it’s not too hard with practice.
Charge through the blocks and either charge through the pots and charge back across the gap, or detransform and dupe both pots. Takes around 5-6 seconds if you don’t dupe them and gives you 24ish gems. If you do dupe them it’ll give you around 48 gems but you’ll have to transform into monkey or elephant and jump/charge back across gap.]


In the room where you learn Monkey Bullet, Use Monkey bullet to land on the grey platform, face away from cave door, switch to Pike ball, use it to dupe 5 gem pot, then press the hair whip + backdash buttons simultaneously to slide off the platform and into the entrance.

[You need 620 or 670 Gems for Shopping Trip 3 (if you bought Attract Magic first then buy Magic Fill, and vice versa)]

Lab 3:

After getting the top half of the skull key, drop down and get the gems on both the left and right sides. Drop down again and get Key 1. On bottom floor get the gems in the pot.

In the room right after the one where you have to break the gargoyle rock w/ elephant, there will be 2 pots, dupe the one near the left door on the way to the two rotating eyes, and the one near the right door on the way back.

In the vertical room with the two rotating eyeballs, dupe the pot on the left before you jump on the eyeball platform going upwards.

In the room you enter when both of the rotating eyeballs are facing up, go to the top for the key in this room. After collecting this key, drop down to the pot right below the platform where the key was and dupe this pot.

In the room you enter when the left rotating eyeball is facing up and the right rotating eyeball is facing down, break all the medium pots on the top for gems while getting the Jam out of the chest too.

In the room you enter when the left eye is facing right and the right eye is facing left, there will be 10 pots spread out between 4 rooms, each has more pots in it then the last.

Back in the area where the eyes open and shut, In the room you enter when both eyes are shut, there will be a bunch of chests. Open them all for loadsamoney.

Two rooms before you get the bottom half of the skull key, there is a secret passage right above the water with a couple of pots.

Post Lab 3 and the return to lab 3:

In the beginning of Mermaid Cliffs, the underwater cave with a Golden Baby Squid has 3 chests guarded by rocks. Use Elephant to break them.

IF YOU’RE REALLY LOW ON GEMS AT THIS POINT OF THE GAME: When you return to lab 3 and are in the room with the two rotating eyes, hit the left eye to face right and the right eye to face left and enter the door.

Dupe a room or two of pot for gems (36-108 Gems), exit.

[You need 975 Gems for Shopping Trip 3]
