Overview
The level is the same across the standard difficulties. Bond must find the golden gun then defeat Baron Samedi three times. The level ends after the Baron's Death Animation finishes.
Objectives
00 Agent
- a. Recover the golden gun
- b. Defeat Baron Samedi?
Facts
Baron Samedi: Positions after spawning
As you've probably noticed, the baron doesn't always stay in the middle of his explosion (2nd spawn), but rather a bit to the right, allowing us to shoot him from an optimal position far away. However, this isn't always the case, sometimes he's on the left side, and sometimes he doesn't move at all. So what determines his position? The answer is simple and probably already known by many poeple.
If you've ever walked up to the baron shortly after him spawning, you'll notice that he constantly tries to face Bond [1]. Exactly like Valentin/Miskin does. So it's actually possible to Val-strafe him around for a few seconds before his evil laugh.
Since he spawns facing the opposite direction of where Bond usually is on wr runs, he needs to walk around in a half-circle to face Bond. And this brings him either to the left or the right. So him being to the left or the right simply depends on if Bond is to the Baron's left or right, since he uses the shortest path he can find to face Bond.
But what about the 3rd Baron? Why isn't he standing more to the left sometimes allowing us to hit him from further away? Well, he is already facing towards Bond and therefor won't do the half-circle movement. There is another fact preventing this as well, which is less obvious. If you don't have a direct line of sight to the baron (pillars are fine to have in the way, but not walls), the baron won't move. He'll stay still in the middle of the explosion without turning to face Bond (actually he "teleports" to the right angle). So on normal wr runs, unless you got an uber-slow death, you won't be able to see the 3rd Baron spawn and therefor he won't move.
The Golden Gun Room
Retrieving the Golden Gun requires movement through a floor maze (see below) [2]. Step on the red circles = fail, step on blue circle = success. As you can see, there are some gaps between the circles, and if they are large enough, it is possible to sneak through (IMPORTANT: The gaps in the first row of spheres are not large though to pass through this way, but the ones in the second row are. Therefor, in order to do the new tile warp strat, you MUST do a warp). Doing so requires alot of precision though and doing it in full speed might even be impossible. Also note that these are not actually circles, but spheres (although they're centered on the floor, so they're more like hemispheres). Bond's Y position matters here, and if you duck, the circles become larger.
Some examples of what is possible:
1. You can reach the Golden Gun by walking up to the first drone on the left, then walking along the black line on the floor, then continue along the normal route. 2. It's possible to sneak through the small gaps between 2 of the circles near the first drone on the left. 3. Unrelated to the picture: If you fail the room, and step into the big room with the 1st Baron, then quickly walk back again (don't fall down), duck, and re-enter the GG room by walking under the closing door, you will be able to pick up the GG safely.
Note: Bond has a collision radius of 30 units, and therefor won't be able to stay exactly at a wall. So it's possible to walk up along the left side of the room without failing, but not the right side (because the red circles are slightly closer).
A few notes on the tile warp strat:
1. Tile warp allows you to go straight through any spheres, even if there are no gaps. 2. The strat works because when you create that much lag, your position won't update for a while. So you "teleport" forward a bit. If timed well, you'll teleport past the spheres detection completely.
