Walking While Talking

ZLAMP: /* Moon Cave Entrance */

==Explanation==
'''Walking While Talking''' (aka WWT) is a state where time continues to advance, possibly with the ability to control Ammy, while dialogue is up. WWT is normally activated by triggering dialogue and interrupting it with a cutscene. Only certain combinations of cutscene and dialogue will produce this state -- this, along with the effects of WWT, is not fully understood. There are two distinct kinds of WWT state -- this page will denote WWT that allows full control of Ammy as type one, and the second, which does not allow control of Ammy without "breaking free" via another cutscene, but allows pausing and the use of the brush and allows time to move type two.

With WWT activated, speaking to an NPC will generally replace the existing dialogue while Ammy retains WWT. On most versions of the game, if one has the dialogue of a character with a portrait on the screen and then moves too far from that character, the game will crash. This presumably occurs because character portraits only remain loaded when Ammy is close enough to an NPC. This crash will even occur if it is Issun's dialogue on-screen. The Wii version has more lenient crash behavior -- instead the character's portrait may be replaced by some other graphic, such as the Stray Bead icon, and in many cases it is possible to move far away from the NPC without a crash. What determines crashes and portrait replacement on Wii is not well-understood. Additionally, some NPCs' text appears have a strangely magnetic effect on Ammy -- she will constantly turn and skew toward the NPC in question while in proximity to them -- this even affects the trajectory of dashes.

WWT can be cancelled by simply closing the dialogue box. It is also cancelled when going through loading zones (long or short), meaning WWT must be activated in the same map where it is used.

WWT is not speedrun-applicable, but may become so in future if its current limitations are overcome.

==Areas where WWT can be Activated==

===Moon Cave Entrance===
See https://youtu.be/sU0_HONWo3g. Issun's text on attempts to draw a sun can be combined with the text triggered by letting the Moon Cave barrier hit you. Fairly limited, but still noteworthy. No method to draw a second sun and get free movement without KTs seems to exist as of now, so it is limited to type two for new game.

===Kamiki===
Unlike most cutscenes in the game, Ammy is not prevented from drowning after Rejuvenating Kushi's waterwheel. By jumping into the river near Kushi and waiting until Ammy is just about to drown before using Rejuvenation, one can respawn before the scroll transition occurs and tackle Kushi. See https://youtu.be/Dl9lI99ih88. If one then allows the cutscenes to play out in the correct sequence, one can exit the dialogue while Kushi's introductory text stays on screen.

If the dialogue is taken to Komuso, you can start his battle from outside the battle barrier, allowing you to effectively flee the battle, though there are no directly interesting consequences of this.

===Shinshu===
DriftingPancake/ZLAMP reported that they performed WWT in Shinshu using Issun's intro text for the dojo, possibly via some effect of the [[Invisible Cherry Bomb Glitch]], but could not replicate it.

===Agata===
It is possible to delay activation of the cutscene which plays when one of the spherical objects in the area is returned to Sleepy (aka Nemui, the bear). This is done by cutting a torch, then pushing the ball into position so that the torch will push it into Sleepy's trigger when the torch respawns. Before this happens, you can jump down and go into the cave below, then PS the chest by the guardian sapling to collect the Prayer Beads. The associated tutorial cutscene will be interrupted by the Sleepy cutscene. Ammy will then be placed in type two WWT. If one waits for a day-night transition and cancels it by skipping the Sleepy cutscene, type one WWT can be entered. See https://youtu.be/r_3xO4vZSaU.

This WWT has a unique use: if one begins the dialogue for fishing with Kokari, then feeds an animal as the transition to fishing occurs, the minigame will immediately end after the introductory dialogue. When loading completes, all NPCs will T-pose, and Ammy will have no-clip and a locked height.

During this no-clip, Ammy isn't affected by gravity. If she jumps, she gains no height and will get stuck airborne. By ending a dialogue will Ammy snap back to the ground. One can also air tackle into a slope to regain a grounded state, which also allows you to gain height. Otherwise, Ammy is height-locked. This no-clip state is retained even across loading zones, unlike WWT itself. Enemy encounters are also affected -- the battle begins, but no barrier appears and Ammy is invincible and can move freely.

Hypothetically, this could allow for major sequence breaks, but the long, precise setup and under-explored mechanics have prevented its implementation into speedruns. A shorter or more generally-applicable setup would be a large step forward.

===Tsuta===
In the poison pot room, it is possible to perform a [[Brush Adventure]] up to the ledge where the poison pots, but before all 3 devil gates have been defeated. Though the pots are invisible and cannot be attacked or PS'd, their hitboxes can still be hit by CB's. If all of the pots are destroyed using CB's, then the mushroom growing cutscene is triggered and allowed to play out, you will have WWT. See https://youtu.be/5Wjfv3Bg0-o. This also has the effect of removing the loading zone to the Vine room.

===Kusa===
In cursed Kusa (i.e. before talking to Fuse), whenever Ammy attempts to use the brush, Issun will talk as soon as the brush closes. You can interrupt Issun's dialogue by talking to the merchant at the entrance of the village, then tackle his shop and talk a few times to bring up the shopping yes-no menu. This menu can be taken through the village without crashing. Because the only way to progress in cursed Kusa is to completely talk to Fuse, cancelling WWT, this has no use. It is, however, likely the easiest and fastest way to demonstrate WWT. Note that the merchant in Kusa is a slightly different type of NPC -- his dialogue may be triggered while airborne. There are several other NPCs of this "type", including the innkeeper in Kusa and the merchant in City Checkpoint. This property may facilitate other ways to trigger WWT, but so far has not.

===Sei-an Aristocratic===
Exiting the Eastern treasure room in Himiko's Palace just after opening Rao's secret tunnel from Ryoshima Coast for the first time with a day-night cutscene queued will interrupt Issun's text and allow WWT to be triggered. A day/night cutscene can be queued by entering an interior after drawing a sun or moon, or drawing one OOB from an interior. This can be done via an interior clip out of the treasure room and into Rao's tunnel. See https://streamable.com/zrsch. This WWT is particularly interesting and flexible -- a portion of the day/night cutscene will play before Issun's text comes up, and if this is instantly canceled, Issun's text will be "stored", and expended on the next cutscene. This means it is possible to jump out of the treasure room again and get out of the palace while avoiding the guards and other sources of text and cutscenes. Day/night cutscenes may be used to enter type one or two WWT anywhere outside on the same map.

Unfortunately, while Benkei does have a fishing minigame here in restored Sei-an Aristocratic, due to the lack of animals on the map to feed, known methods of no-clip are impossible here.

Origin Warp

ZLAMP: /* Explanation */

== Explanation ==
Normally after voiding out or dying in water, Amaterasu will warp to the point where she was last standing. However, when loading into a new area, if the player jumps on the first frame of allowable input, Amaterasu's respawn point is initialized to (0, 0, 0) and remains unchanged until she lands. Therefore, if Amaterasu voids out or dies in water before landing on the ground, she will respawn at (0, 0, 0) instead of where she entered the level.

Alternatively, it is possible to jump on the first frame after landing to keep the respawn point at (0, 0, 0). These one frame jumps can be repeated until voiding out.

In a similar vein, it is possible to set Ammy's spawn point somewhere arbitrary and respawn there after voiding out -- this can be used to get behind short loading zones in many houses, as Ammy's "last touched" position continues to be updated during the short load's fadeout.

== Tutorial ==
Coming soon

Documentation explaining when to jump to set it up correctly (only useful for TAS as of now)
https://youtu.be/SnGqj1KZSmM

== Applications ==
Origin warp is possible in almost every location, but only a few locations have proven to be useful in runs. These are explained in detail, but a complete list of all origin points can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11VeokQNVGnWjtICilrUVeSxM6hvfzSDiYu1x-nMfJBA

=== Gale Shrine Origin Warp ===
This warp is used in NG+ to warp from the entrance of Gale Shrine to the elevator in order to quickly obtain Galestorm. This is done by first entering Gale Shrine to clear the initial cutscene. Exit, re-enter and jump on the first frame. This can be repeated until the jump is successful. Then KT down the hallway and over the invisible wall to void out. After landing in the elevator, KT up one floor and go toward the balcony. KT over the invisible wall and clip into the bottom of the top platform to obtain Galestorm.

Video tutorial for Gale Shrine origin warp: https://youtu.be/zP8QxOk26E4

Gale Shrine Origin Warp was discovered by Lyriati, and proven to be RTA Viable by Cornchunks.

=== Oni Island Origin Warp ===
This warp is used in NG+ to warp from the entrance of Oni Island to the top of the mountain in order to quickly obtain Thunderstorm. This is done by jumping on the first frame after entering Oni Island, and doing one KT to get over the invisible wall. Land in the water and swim at full speed to die quickly. This will warp Amaterasu below the mountain and she will be launched into the air. After reaching max height, KT over to the Gekigami statue and rejuvenate the bow and arrow.

The Wii version has more lenient crash behavior -- instead the character's portrait may be replaced by some other graphic, such as the Stray Bead icon, and in many cases it is possible to move far away from the NPC without a crash. What determines crashes and portrait replacement on Wii is not well-understood.

WWT can be cancelled by simply closing the dialogue box. It is also cancelled when going through loading zones (long or short), meaning WWT must be activated in the same map where it is used.

WWT is not speedrun-applicable, but may become so in future if its current limitations are overcome.

==Areas where WWT can be Activated==
===Kamiki===
Unlike most cutscenes in the game, Ammy is not prevented from drowning after Rejuvenating Kushi's waterwheel. By jumping into the river near Kushi and waiting until Ammy is just about to drown before using Rejuvenation, one can respawn before the scroll transition occurs and tackle Kushi. See https://youtu.be/Dl9lI99ih88. If one then allows the cutscenes to play out in the correct sequence, one can exit the dialogue while Kushi's introductory text stays on screen.

If the dialogue is taken to Komuso, you can start his battle from outside the battle barrier, allowing you to effectively flee the battle, though there are no directly interesting consequences of this.

===Shinshu===
DriftingPancake/ZLAMP reported that they performed WWT in Shinshu using Issun's intro text for the dojo, possibly via some effect of the [[Invisible Cherry Bomb Glitch]], but could not replicate it.

===Agata===
It is possible to delay activation of the cutscene which plays when one of the spherical objects in the area is returned to Sleepy (aka Nemui, the bear). This is done by cutting a torch, then pushing the ball into position so that the torch will push it into Sleepy's trigger when the torch respawns. Before this happens, you can jump down and go into the cave below, then PS the chest by the guardian sapling to collect the Prayer Beads. The associated tutorial cutscene will be interrupted by the Sleepy cutscene. Ammy will then be placed in type two WWT. If one waits for a day-night transition and cancels it by skipping the Sleepy cutscene, type one WWT can be entered. See https://youtu.be/r_3xO4vZSaU.

This WWT has a unique use: if one begins the dialogue for fishing with Kokari, then feeds an animal as the transition to fishing occurs, the minigame will immediately end after the introductory dialogue. When loading completes, all NPC's will T-pose, and Ammy will have no-clip and a locked height.

During this no-clip, Ammy isn't affected by gravity. If she jumps, she gains no height and will get stuck airborne. By ending a dialogue will Ammy snap back to the ground. One can also air tackle into a slope to regain a grounded state, which also allows you to gain height. Otherwise, Ammy is height-locked. This no-clip state is retained even across loading zones, unlike WWT itself. Enemy encounters are also affected -- the battle begins, but no barrier appears and Ammy is invincible and can move freely.

Hypothetically, this could allow for major sequence breaks, but the long, precise setup and under-explored mechanics have prevented its implementation into speedruns. A shorter or more generally-applicable setup would be a large step forward.

===Tsuta===
In the poison pot room, it is possible to perform a [[Brush Adventure]] up to the ledge where the poison pots, but before all 3 devil gates have been defeated. Though the pots are invisible and cannot be attacked or PS'd, their hitboxes can still be hit by CB's. If all of the pots are destroyed using CB's, then the mushroom growing cutscene is triggered and allowed to play out, you will have WWT. See https://youtu.be/5Wjfv3Bg0-o. This also has the effect of removing the loading zone to the Vine room.

===Kusa===
In cursed Kusa (i.e. before talking to Fuse), whenever Ammy attempts to use the brush, Issun will talk as soon as the brush closes. You can interrupt Issun's dialogue by talking to the merchant at the entrance of the village, then tackle his shop and talk a few times to bring up the shopping yes-no menu. This menu can be taken through the village without crashing. Because the only way to progress in cursed Kusa is to completely talk to Fuse, cancelling WWT, this has no use. It is, however, likely the easiest and fastest way to demonstrate WWT. Note that the merchant in Kusa is a slightly different type of NPC -- his dialogue may be triggered while airborne. There are several other NPCs of this "type", including the innkeeper in Kusa and the merchant in City Checkpoint. This property may facilitate other ways to trigger WWT, but so far has not.

===Sei-an Aristocratic===
Exiting the Eastern treasure room in Himiko's Palace just after opening Rao's secret tunnel from Ryoshima Coast for the first time with a day-night cutscene queued will interrupt Issun's text and allow WWT to be triggered. A day/night cutscene can be queued by entering an interior after drawing a sun or moon, or drawing one OOB from an interior. This can be done via an interior clip out of the treasure room and into Rao's tunnel. See https://streamable.com/zrsch. This WWT is particularly interesting and flexible -- a portion of the day/night cutscene will play before Issun's text comes up, and if this is instantly canceled, Issun's text will be "stored", and expended on the next cutscene. This means it is possible to jump out of the treasure room again and get out of the palace while avoiding the guards and other sources of text and cutscenes. Day/night cutscenes may be used to enter type one or two WWT anywhere outside on the same map.

Unfortunately, while Benkei does have a fishing minigame here in restored Sei-an Aristocratic, due to the lack of animals on the map to feed, known methods of no-clip are impossible here.

==Explanation==
'''Walking While Talking''' (aka WWT) is a state where time continues to advance, possibly with the ability to control Ammy, while dialogue is up. WWT is normally activated by triggering dialogue and interrupting it with a cutscene. Only certain combinations of cutscene and dialogue will produce this state -- this, along with the effects of WWT, is not fully understood. There are two distinct kinds of WWT state -- this page will denote WWT that allows full control of Ammy as type one, and the second, which does not allow control of Ammy without "breaking free" via another cutscene, but allows pausing and the use of the brush and allows time to move type two.

With WWT activated, speaking to an NPC will generally replace the existing dialogue while Ammy retains WWT. On most versions of the game, if one has the dialogue of a character with a portrait on the screen and then moves too far from that character, the game will crash. This presumably occurs because character portraits only remain loaded when Ammy is close enough to an NPC. This crash will even occur if it is Issun's dialogue on-screen.

With WWT activated, speaking to an NPC will generally replace the existing dialogue while Ammy retains WWT. On most versions of the game, if one has the dialogue of a character with a portrait on the screen and then moves too far from that character, the game will crash. This presumably occurs because character portraits only remain loaded when Ammy is close enough to an NPC. This crash will even occur if it is Issun's dialogue on-screen. The Wii version has more lenient crash behavior -- instead the character's portrait may be replaced by some other graphic, such as the Stray Bead icon, and in many cases it is possible to move far away from the NPC without a crash. What determines crashes and portrait replacement on Wii is not well-understood.

WWT can be cancelled by simply closing the dialogue box. It is also cancelled when going through loading zones (long or short), meaning WWT must be activated in the same map where it is used.

WWT is not speedrun-applicable, but may become so in future if its current limitations are overcome.

==Areas where WWT can be Activated==
===Kamiki===
Unlike most cutscenes in the game, Ammy is not prevented from drowning after Rejuvenating Kushi's waterwheel. By jumping into the river near Kushi and waiting until Ammy is just about to drown before using Rejuvenation, one can respawn before the scroll transition occurs and tackle Kushi. See https://youtu.be/Dl9lI99ih88. If one then allows the cutscenes to play out in the correct sequence, one can exit the dialogue while Kushi's introductory text stays on screen.

If the dialogue is taken to Komuso, you can start his battle from outside the battle barrier, allowing you to effectively flee the battle, though there are no directly interesting consequences of this.

===Shinshu===
DriftingPancake/ZLAMP reported that they performed WWT in Shinshu using Issun's intro text for the dojo, possibly via some effect of the [[Invisible Cherry Bomb Glitch]], but could not replicate it.

===Agata===
It is possible to delay activation of the cutscene which plays when one of the spherical objects in the area is returned to Sleepy (aka Nemui, the bear). This is done by cutting a torch, then pushing the ball into position so that the torch will push it into Sleepy's trigger when the torch respawns. Before this happens, you can jump down and go into the cave below, then PS the chest by the guardian sapling to collect the Prayer Beads. The associated tutorial cutscene will be interrupted by the Sleepy cutscene. Ammy will then be placed in a state that isn't controllable, but allows day-time to pass. If one waits for a day-night transition and cancels it by skipping the Sleepy cutscene, another state is activated where the day-night transition will interrupt the next NPC dialogue triggered, giving WWT. See https://youtu.be/r_3xO4vZSaU.

This WWT has a unique use: if one begins the dialogue for fishing with Kokari, then feeds an animal as the transition to fishing occurs, the minigame will immediately end after the introductory dialogue. When loading completes, all NPC's will T-pose and Ammy will have a strange sort of no-clip.

During this no-clip, Ammy isn't affected by gravity. If she jumps, she gains no height and will get stuck airborne. By ending a dialogue will Ammy snap back to the ground. One can also air tackle into a slope to regain a grounded state, which also allows you to gain height. Otherwise, Ammy is height-locked. This no-clip state is retained even across loading zones, unlike WWT itself.

Hypothetically, this could allow for major sequence breaks, but the long, precise setup and under-explored mechanics have prevented its implementation into speedruns.

===Tsuta===
In the poison pot room, it is possible to perform a [[Brush Adventure]] up to the ledge where the poison pots, but before all 3 devil gates have been defeated. Though the pots are invisible and cannot be attacked or PS'd, their hitboxes can still be hit by CB's. If all of the pots are destroyed using CB's, then the mushroom growing cutscene is triggered and allowed to play out, you will have WWT. See https://youtu.be/5Wjfv3Bg0-o. This also has the effect of removing the loading zone to the Vine room.

===Kusa===
In cursed Kusa (i.e. before talking to Fuse), whenever Ammy attempts to use the brush, Issun will talk as soon as the brush closes. You can interrupt Issun's dialogue by talking to the merchant at the entrance of the village, then tackle his shop and talk a few times to bring up the shopping yes-no menu. This menu can be taken through the village without crashing. Because the only way to progress in cursed Kusa is to completely talk to Fuse, cancelling WWT, this has no use. It is, however, likely the easiest and fastest way to demonstrate WWT.

===Sei-an Aristocratic===
If a day-night transition is queued up to happen just as one exits the Eastern treasure room in Himiko's Palace after entering it through Rao's secret tunnel for the first time, the day-night cutscene will interrupt Issun's text. This can be done via an interior clip out of the treasure room and into Rao's tunnel. See https://streamable.com/zrsch.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of any animals to feed in Sei-an Aristocratic, no-clip cannot be apparently be performed here.

==Explanation==
'''Walking While Talking''' (aka WWT) is a state where time continues to advance, possibly with the ability to control Ammy, while dialogue is up. WWT is normally activated by triggering dialogue and interrupting it with a cutscene.

There are two distinct kinds of WWT state -- one allows full control of Ammy; the second allows pausing and the use of the brush and allows time to move, but does not allow for control of Ammy without "breaking free" via triggering another cutscene.
