More strats! I wanted to find a setup for the pod skip/rocket jump in d3\_citadel\_01, but ended up doing a different strat entirely. As like my last post, I don’t know if this has been done before. This is just an alternate strat to the current one and I haven’t timed it to see whether it’s faster or not. It is however much easier to do in my opinion.

EDIT: Files were screwed up so to make things simple here’s the demo files instead.

I found that there are two other farther away locations that you can rocket jump from, but them being farther away of course means that the trick takes longer.

You can actually make it to the very end trigger, but it’s much riskier:

There’s kind of a setup for it shown in the above demo.

1.7gb video… I would watch it, but its a big video to download. MP4 next time 😛

EDIT: Assuming your using Fraps, dont. The fps hit is VERY high. Use a dxtory or something else.
