Triforce Blitz Progression Spoiler

TRIFORCE BLITZ PROGRESSION SPOILER (TFBPS)

TFBPS is a combination of classic Triforce Blitz and Spoiler, a mode where you get the spoiler log of the seed in advance and have 15 minutes to read it and prepare the fastest possible route before starting to run the seed.

WHAT IS A PROGRESSION SPOILER?
The Progression Spoiler (in context of TFBPS) is a truncated version of the seed's spoiler log that only contains specific parts of the full spoiler log.

It contains:
- locations of all major progression items and copies (including Dungeon Rewards, Song locations, dungeon keys)
- locations of some helpful items (Bombchu packs, Farore's Wind, Biggoron Sword)
- all the text hints from the gossip stones

It does NOT contain:
- the locations of the triforce pieces
- trash items (this includes Ice/Light Arrows, Stone of Agony, Nayru's Love, buyable shields, stick/nut upgrades)
- information on which exact items are hinted on the gossip stones
- everything else that's in a normal spoiler log (seed settings, playthrough, WotH list, path list, shop hints, etc.)

With the knowledge of the location of all major items/songs and hints, it is up to the player to figure out where the three pieces are located, just like in normal TFB. The difference is that most of this is figured out during the 15 minute prep time, where you can focus on the logic of the seed without having to worry about playing at the same time.

SETTINGS DIFFERENCES FROM NORMAL TFB
TFBPS is based on TFB S3 and only includes these changes to the settings:
- minimum path sum is 12 (instead of classic 4) to reduce the chance of getting trivial seeds
- heart chest textures are ON (this is to allow for flexibility on collecting hearts, since they don't show up in the progression spoiler)

HOW TO GENERATE A PROGRESSION SPOILER
There's no proper automated way to generate them online so far, but Schulzer and me (Ramond) have written a python script and a notepad++ macro respectively that produces a progression spoiler from a full normal spoiler log. We might look into a way to add that functionality to Midobot if the mode is played more often. Until then you can just DM one of us on Discord for support.

HOW TO RACE TFBPS
When all players are ready (race room or not), the progression spoiler is handed out at the beginning of the race (the 0 minute mark) and all players may immediately use it. When the race timer hits 15 minutes, the players may start running the seed.
