There are two simple options to address this-I have now completed a pair of ‘Fresh File (FF)’ runs, which term I am using to denote natural runs in this category, and am on the verge of making them official on. Unlocking everything in the game does take many hours of gameplay, usually, and so any other player who wishes to run alongside me and contest my times would have to dedicate a similar amount of time before even beginning the run. Of course, the other side of my decision is that it is so much more difficult for new runners to become involved in the game. With all of these factors, I decided that simply running with my fully unlocked game would be the ‘default’ way to run the game. It’s not a significant NG+, as besides these carried-over levels the only other difference is that the NG+ game skips the Tutorial Chronicle with no other changes in the gameplay, but it can still make a unique run all its own. And, finally, CotS does within itself offer a ‘NG+’ feature, allowing you to start your CotS game all over after you’ve completed it, retaining all the characters and levels from your previous run and allowing you to continue leveling them up even more. All the equipment pieces needed to make these characters as rich as possible are also items that would be unavailable in a ‘natural’ run of the game. In addition, one of the joys of CotS for me is creating custom characters, either ones I fashioned myself or attempts to replicate existing characters from other games, both of which I thoroughly enjoy. In addition, there is a huge difference between a fresh file, a ‘natural’ run of CotS and one with all the options unlocked, in classes and weapon styles available, in weapons available for equipping, and even in the number of characters I can personally customize and add to the party. There is no way to begin a ‘natural’ run of CotS without deleting my previous game data (or was no way I knew of at the time), and for numerous reasons, this did not appeal to me. ![]() However, when I began speedrunning CotS, no other player had laid claim to Soulcalibur III, let alone the CotS sub-game, and it was the very first speedrun I ever really attempted-I had no previous experience and no other players to influence the rules that I set up for my run. This document is intended to help players looking to get started at playing my ‘normal’ categories of Soulcalibur III – Chronicles of the Sword speedruns to unlock all the necessary weapons, characters and items to speedrun them.įirst, a lecture on the CotS runs as I built them-most video game speedruns delineate between ‘New Game (NG)’ runs and ‘New Game Plus (NG+)’ runs rather simply: an NG run is a natural run with no outside or supplementary save data affecting it, while a NG+ run uses previously cleared or present save data to add new options to the run. ![]() Soulcalibur III Chronicles of the Sword Unlocking Guide
