Identity Fraud Speedrun - Beat The Game% in 6:37.667 [Prev. World Record]

(EDIT: Made a mistake while editing, run actually starts at 2:29)
almost perfect
[More technical stuff below if you are interested!]

Found out how Fraud works! It turns out Fraud activates approximately 2 minutes after a player spawns in, but if that player dies, Fraud gets stuck. I also used an alternate route in Maze 2, which is slower under normal means. However, it allows you to be chased by Fraud two times instead of one, which I believe is faster by around 7 seconds.

Some things to look out for is that you should avoid shooting the core of The Last Hurdle, as that doesn't do damage to the boss. The hex code can also be decoded very fast, by taking the last set of numbers from the first line and the second to last set of numbers, then translating them. Morse numbers are also quite easy to decode once you realize the patterns; when the beeps go from long to short or vice-versa, you can already know what number it corresponds to by taking the previous number of beeps (this applies to decoding them manually). Fraud always spawns in the hallway on the left from where I spawned as well.

I do believe this run can be brought down even more with the development of new strategies, like the possibility of an even better route for Maze 2. Memorizing hex numbers and morse numbers can also help in saving time. Some other things that I thought about that really didn't seem like working was using the quickest spawn point to the end of Maze 1, while waiting longer so you'll meet Fraud near the end. The problem with this though is that Fraud does not travel as close as it was at the end of Maze 1 on its own, making it easier for Fraud to lose track of you when you are chased in Maze 2. You could suppress this by waiting for Fraud to get closer when he starts chasing you, meaning this actually could be a viable strategy. You can also occasionally hear the morse code when you begin the run, so you can already have the second to last code before the run even begins. I found this to be too much trouble though, as you have also have to get a specific spawn point for the run, making it even more time consuming to even start playing the game. It's also quite difficult to hear the code in full, as if you mess up even once or miss part of it, you won't be able to hear the code again as it doesn't loop. Another possible strategy that ended up being shot down was using the Maze 2 Disco Room as a faster way to enter Maze 3. Unfortunately, the base64 code is randomly generated, unlike previous versions of the game, making it much harder to use in an efficient way. Maybe it could work though, because a specific part of the code is all that matters, but I don't think base64 can be decoded similar to the hex code before The Last Hurdle in order for it to be actually usable.

The new WR used faster routes on Maze 1 and 2, so that proves there is more time to be saved. Maybe I could attempt some new runs if any other strategies end up working, but I'm focusing on other things currently, so I likely won't run this game anymore for quite some time.

[alstef]

when your at maze 3 that gave so much anxiety when fraud is gonna come at you lol

[LUNRA]

It literally took me 2 FRICKIN' HOURS and you pass it in 6 minutes, just wow..

[Davo]

my run looks so dumb compared to this...

[magmadestiny]

I love how you so well avoided fraud and got through the mazes flawlessly, its truely impressive, far more impressive than anyone like me could do,



btw, I subscribed!

[DiscontinuedForNow]

Ah, I see why you don’t start the speed run straight away ;)

[xorloz]

That's the smartest thing I've seen. Using fraud to go faster

EDIT: Thanks for the likes! Also, this should technically be the WR.

[deathakav]

would fraud be good at tag?

alot of people said yes, so thats why I lost :/

[OrchidsStuff]

After you beat the game


Fraud: Am I a joke to you?

[posucizvychodu]

LOL revamp has been launched so that means that its a new game now so if a make a speedrun its going to be a world record XD

[Luchechi]

I remember I played this in a vip server with my friends, I got caught in the frauds gaze and he chased after me. I got stuck in the corner and he came over and hit me and became me, but the thing is I wasn’t dead. I had a speck of health

[mugincoffe]

Did he just... Complete the Morse code by just listening to it? Truly amazing!

[waterized_bottle]

So he speedruns with Fraud to get speed boost?

[Floodpro-olwj]

Ralph: Ah yes I can kill-
Wait why is he going so fast?!? WAIT UP!!

[thuyh]

Fraud helps a lot in this speedrun for when he waves at you. You get a speed boost till he catches you.

[renewings]

one time i was in the 3rd maze and i was waiting for james to go away. and then stan just appeared and did that SCREAM he does and i died.










SENT BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

(this was before the revamp)

[thisisarobbery]

Everybody talkin about how fast he did it while I’m tryin to figure out how this man did it on his first try.

[honeylime]

Im more impressed with how did you find out the morse code so fast, It took me ages

[timothylee]

This gave me anxiety I never knew I had.
