SS: Trick Research & Discovery

[Weegeechan]

Wow it's really nice to see some new stuff for SS. Even if those don't have any uses, at least it's still something! This could probably be used somewhere else....I hope xD

I'm not sure if doing this without master sword was already a thing, but I haven't seen anyone do it, so I figured I'd put it here.

tl;dr - Strat for Koloktos 1st phase 1-cycle: rip off his arms, slash his heart 9 times, retreat to far away, when he throws boomerangs run up to him, do one sword slash and blow up a bomb.

Despite how I did it in the video, I've since found that it's easier, faster, and more consistent to place the bomb directly between yourself and koloktos, then do one downward sword swing that hits both him and the bomb.

Skips the second cycle animation and fight which totals about 35 sec, but costs about 10 sec to attempt it, so the net effect is like -0:25 next to current strats if you get it and like +0:10 if you attempt it and fail.

I found that it is possible to store text in Skyward Sword. Not sure if this has been found before, but I'm not bothering looking at glitches already found until I go through testing stuff myself.

Here's the video:

How It Works:
If you trigger a text box to come up at the same time as going through a door, the game stores the text to the corresponding NPC. The next time you talk to the NPC, the stored text will come up. I think this is really cool and may be able to be used in the future in other circumstances to get some more interesting effects. If you go through a loading zone the stored text is removed. Other NPC's text are unaffected by the stored text.

The setup I used in this video is pretty consistent even though the trick is rather precise. Just watch where I put link's feet and it should be pretty easy to reproduce.

Can you please fix the link. I would like to see that video. Even if you copy paste, it says video doesn't exist :/

I don't believe that loading zone works unless you open the door

[Tenderhearted]

probably not gymnast

I know this was talked about a while ago but, someone could use gecko codes to walk through walls to test if there is a loading zone behind the door

It's the third code down. I would try it myself but I don't have my Wii hacked

[gymnast86]

There is no loading zone behind the door
