Dawn of Mana Speed Run (New Game - Easy) in 2:32:37 (Seg 3)

Video Title :	Dawn of Mana Speed Run (New Game - Easy) in 2:32:37 (Seg 3)
Description :	Dawn of Mana (Playstation 2) - Completed by Nicholas 'Sir VG' Hoppe on November 22nd, 2007. Chapter 2 - Lord of the Forest 2-1 There's one spot early on that, if you play the game, looks like a HUGE shortcut. You see a tree and what looks like a short wall, which behind it leads a path to 2-4. Unfortunately, there seems to be an invisible barrier preventing you from jumping over the wall. Stupid Square Enix. :( 2-2 The demo of this game shows Keldy using the SRT to cross the broken bridge to get to the other side. I have yet to be able to duplicate the technique, so I take the next fastest route, the bridge to the left. There's a third way across, accessible from the river, and while it's more direct then the left bridge (it's just to the right of the broken bridge) it's much more difficult to perform, and also slower due to the number of vertical jumps you need to make. There's a dam to the right of the whole section, which if it was accessable would allow for a great skip straight to 2-4, but alas...Square Enix hates speedrunners taking shortcuts. 2-3 Pretty straight forward, until the end. There are two routes near the end. The lower route leads you through the dam (back in 2-2) to head to 2-4. Or you can slide a large object over and take the upper route, leading to a more direct path to 2-4 (also skipping a cutscene). In comparison, the upper route is considerably shorter, even for the time it takes to drag an object over and make the slightly tricky jump up. 2-4 Since I've taken the upper route in 2-3, I've skipped about one-third of this portion of the chapter. At this point it's pretty much go through the tree fort to reach Treant. 2-5 Ritzia is here, talking with Treant until the Sword of Mana, which is locked inside him, causes him to go mad. Keldy directs Chobee (a Chobin Hood) to take her away from the battle field. Grim Treant As expected from a tree, it's very weak to fire. My Salamander Hexorbs, as well as the various Bumpkins floating around, do great damage, but also open up his mouth, allowing me to hit his vulnerable spot. Occasionally, I need to back off from the mouth and hit his roots, as his mouth can become invulnerable to the previous mentioned fire items (why, I don't exactly get). Though I don't like the delay, destroying the roots does allow for more Bumpkins to appear. Time: 00:07:51 Current Total Time: 00:17:44 New Emblem Acquired: Apprentice Sorcerer (125+ MP Medals) - Boosts staring MP level, and raises it so it always starts on Lv 2 (giving me Purify and Healing Light)
