'''World Record Strat - 2:20'''

'''World Record Strat - 2:20'''

This level might seem pretty straight forward to run at first once you know the fastest route, but knowing the fastest route actually isn’t what will bother you the most. There are three parts of this level which makes it not so straight forward: The valstrafe, the trevshot and the random appearance of the flight recorder. The objectives are the same for all difficulties, hence, the same strat will be used for each.

It is strongly recommended that you study a video of a Statue run in order to learn the correct route and strafing lines. However, here’s a brief explanation. You should wait out both cinemas, since this will increase your chances of boost(s) in the beginning. Also, you may choose to smoothly kill the first guard (assuming you waited out cinemas) and pick up his KF7 which you can use later on. Note that you will lose a considerable amount of time doing the “KF7-strat” so it is not advisable considering the standard “PP7-strat” isn’t much harder. You start out in left strafe and go along the left side of the slope, to the left of the white statue, along the red statue and through the small opening between the two blocks. Continue on until you get to the block before the dumpster and change to right strafe just as you pass the block. Strafe passed the corner of the dumpster and turn left around the little “hill”. Do a sharp turn around the end of the red dumpster and just as you meet Valentin, immediately start alternating right- and left strafe while slowly moving backwards. This makes you able to “lure” him towards you and is known as the “valstrafe”. It is a bit tricky to pull off at first, but the amount of time saved makes it a crucial part of the strat. To strafe him as far as possible you should do a sharp turn around the first corner and attempt to strafe him in a straight line upwards the slope. You will need to watch a video to get a further understanding of the valstrafing (how long and where to strafe), and on top of that a lot of practice of course.
