Maybe it only works with the caped prince , similar to trick 83.
One problem with the YouTube video is that the player (Suave) does not show the viewer how to get into the trick starting position.
It's also difficult to tell what is the exact starting position, because of the custom environment graphics.
Various different SNES-like VDUNGEON.DAT files exist too, so I can't easily tell which one to compare with.
Anyway, I've been unable to replicate the trick.
And no, I think it's possible to do with normal graphics too. Check this, I've not yet tried this, but will try soon if you couldn't do it.

Thanks. I can do it now.
I'll add the trick soon, and I'll edit this post once done.

Thanks. I think it should mention see 65, and 65 should mention 162, since both are quite similar...

Use case of Trick 162 is Level 11, Room 22 and Room 24.

Edit: Corrected the trick number (my bad).

No way!!! :shock:

I used debug cheats (in SDLPoP) to get to that below room, but never tried and never thought that we could use that guard.
Let me try this today.

BTW, is it saving time? (I think it should).

Unfortunately, I currently lack the time to give this a try.

This is also a new trick, right?
Similar to 23...

...but with the characters 'swapped'.

How do people figure out these kind of tricks, not just by trial and error I guess?

Well, we always thought it was possible. I mean we have all seen the guards and prince get pushed through walls. But, how to do this was literally discovered by someone using Cheat engine who was slowly stepping through the events.

I doubt I will ever have the WR again. These new players are much better than me, and surpassed me in a much shorter time.
