Since you're more familiar with the game than I am, are there any strange occurences of note that you've happened to come across? Are all the progressive powerups pretty much linear? The game seems very dry in the glitch department, which is a credit to the coders. I haven't been able to find any glitches online or in casual play myself. But any small detail such as the pixel boosts off of slopes could be useful.

Can you point to which RTA speedrun you're talking about when it comes to death abuse choices?
I'm referring to the current world record run on Speedrun.com, by Overswarm found here: https://www.speedrun.com/gargoyles_quest_2/run/me4gn49y If I had to guess it's easier for an RTA to abuse death at that later boss because you can just damage boost and spam it with attacks. I'm not entirely sure of the level, but it looks like the Jungle boss by observing his splits.

I was made aware of the search for the second password for this game and decided to give it a shot, since I currently have access to my university supercomputer. Maybe I can use that to finally solve this. I have read this topic, the page on tcrf.net about this and been looking at the code on micro500's github. I was hoping to be able to get some more details here. Where should I pick up with this? The repo contains a few different approaches and not too much documentation about them. So far I've been mainly looking at the bruteforce code. From my understanding so far, I would use tm_avx_full or something similar to find potential codes and then check everything that finds with process_code. tm_avx_full has an IV array for byte0 - byte3. My understanding is I would keep changing these values until I find something? byte4 is always 0 in the code, is that proven to be the case, or is that another number I would adjust while searching? My plan going forward would be to move the project to using cmake to be able to test different compilers and stuff. I also want to do a few modifications to the code to use more modern language features and maybe make the code a bit more safe (no more new :). I also got some ideas for some improvements to the implementation, including a potential avx512 implementation that I wanna test. And the MPI parallelize the thing and run it on the supercomputer if I manage to finish all that before I loose access. Any additional info on this problem and the past work that has been done, as well as any further help would be very appreciated. PS: Nec-nec-nec-necropooooost
