First of all I would like to give shoutouts to the CLgamers for supporting me through all the rage filled runs I endured upon trying to complete this game as well as getting to the point I am. Not to mention Panda in particular taught me how to jump after I fall :p Also shoutouts to Mmobossman for his TAS of Turok which taught me quite a few tricks along the way. This is my first run to be submitted to SDA and hopefully more to come.

Level One-

• Strafing by far proves to be the optimal way of movement throughout the game.
• Hitting the switch before obtaining the first key saves about 8-10 seconds.
• Gliding up the wall to the second key sheds off about 3-4 seconds.
• I missed the highjump leading up to the pur-lin, but not too much to worry.
• Jumping to the last pillar and killing the soilder on the direct right reduces time tremdendously.
• In the cave leading up to the last key, there's a small window to skip jumping up all the pillars which sheds off a few seconds.

Level Three-

• Like many other runs, I skip Level Two first for the sheer fact of ammo conservation and a chance to enter with tek armor.
• Leading up to the higher portion of the level, there's a set of stairs that are able to be hooked on to in the corner which allow for "wall climbing", the first of three I do throughout the run.
• I visit the stave station without saving for an unofficial check point. Doing this allows me to take a death after obtaining the second key without taking on two pur-lins which saves roughly a minute.
• After the death and re-entering the portal, I jump around the tower in order to get to the switch more efficiently than the intended route.
• On the way up to the last save station, there is a chance for another "wall climb" but the chances of succeeding are very slim so I opt out.
• Jumping over multiple pillars optimally leading to the Longhunter allows for 10 jumps rather than 17.
  • Boss Battle- Jeeps and Longhunter
  • All the jeeps do is circle you so take advantage
  • The Longhunter can be a pain to target, so I tried distance attacks as well as close-ranged.

Level Two-

• When swimming towards the first key, I strafe to maintain the speed.
• After obtaining the first key, it is time to perform two "wall climbs" back to back @.@ however executing the climbs saves about a good minute.
• KNOW YOUR CAVE ROUTES, otherwise they can be rather troublesome.
• Jumping in water-covered grounds is faster than just strafing through them.

Level 4-

• Instead of going towards the first key, I head towards the Level 8 key first to avoid backtracking.
• After obtaining the first key, I take an intentional death to save a rough 20-25 seconds.
• Everything else is self-explanatory, although I still have yet to figure out a one trip strat for bringing down the force field after hitting the switch.

Level 5-

• Probably one of the easier levels in my opinion, except the dreaded ledges DX.
• I pick up the grenade launcher early in the level for the Mantis battle along with three 10 point life forces for later death strat.
• After getting to know the game a bit better, I realized that knifing the High Priests throughout the game is more effective than using ammunition.
• At the section where there are heinous mazes to travel through and much much agony followed, I make a falling jump to reach the main switch to raise the pillars. Overall that saves about ten minutes, I kid you not.
• Up until the last key, I continue to snag up life forces for Level 6.
• Climbing up to the last key is the MOST ANNOYING THING EVER! Quite possibly the glitchiest portion in the game.
  • Boss Battle- Mantis
  • Rather simple, just use the grenade launcher and whatever other ammunition you may have until its dead

Level 6-

• Oh boy, monotonous bridges and evil dart warriors. Lets begin.
• I grab the grenade ammo since I am out by the end of the Mantis battle and decide to make some leaps of faith, seriously....
• After reaching the check point leading up to the first key, I venture on to the key only to take another intentional death (number three), this really does save you the trouble of coming back normally.
• Bridge jumping is very risky..... You might vanish through it to your death.
• I visit the first save station just as a check point marker in order to execute the Easy Way Out strat, or a shotgun launch up to the end of the level. This never wants to work when I do runs, but luck was on my side (:
• So at that point I just transverse the level collecting the last two keys and at that point take my last intentional death, about a good three minutes saved if all goes well.

Level 7-

• Demons, demons, demons, that's all I have to say.
• Nothing out of the ordinary until the Triceratops, just watch out for flying aliens @>@.
• I skip battling the Triceratops for one simple reason, ammunition depletion.
• Be careful and watch out for falling rocks, they have ruined many of my runs.
• I go ahead and grab the Pulse Canon to avoid any troubles in getting it in Level 8.
• To quote Marshmallow, "Pillars of DOOM!" Yes I take my time after finally memorizing the patterns, just don't fall.
• After the first key, I pretty much just go through the level normally while watching out for cute vicious dinosaurs along the way.
• At the exit, do watch out for what I call....

Level 8-

• ROBOT RAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Yes, robots do not under any circumstances take pity on Turok at this point in the game,
• There's honestly not too much to comment on throughout this stage except for always avoid Cyborg Sergeants. They are meanies >.<
• Whenever I run into the two Pur-Lins, you only need to kill one of them to gain access to the next area.
• Other than that, I just grab any ammunition I can get and make my way to the most precious T-Rex I've ever seen.
  • Thunder-
  • He may seem difficult, but just circle him and unleash every last ounce of ammo you have on him, Pulse Cannon first people!
  • Ring around the Rosey.

• The Campaigner-
• After Thunder you stock back up on every weapon along with a Tex Armor, unfortunately no energy powered weapon or grenades harm him.
• Shotgun shells (explosive preferably), minigun, and tek arrows are your best friend.
• Watch out for his sky attacks and blazing inferno, otherwise you might be having a fried Turok with a side of despair )=
• TAKE HIM DOWN!!!!!

So that's my walkthrough of Turok (= thanks to SDA for
