Pfft, call it what it is.

Anyway, I just managed to find a way to skip the prison block with the explosion skip. Here's the video https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1425906780992697&l=9143348889287497749.

Done it 3 times now, once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to pull off. You just have to get that first jump right, so you can move when you land on the invisible platform.

Edit: It's also possible to get to the showers, but it's a lot harder, I've done it twice. The other one I can do almost everytime now.

Can someone put up a fuse skip for ps4?
Got new WR on insane again :). Time was 38:28. If it wasn't for one mistake, it would've been sub 38.



Still got lot of the tricks done fast, so I'm happy with that run. That was actually first finished run since I got previous WR, 40:16, that I never bothered to upload, because I knew I could do a lot better.
I tried couple of runs on normal mode, and the second finished run got within 4 seconds of the any% WR. The run was very good, but I did lose little time here and there.



You can see some differences to my insane run, that help to save some time. Biggest skips that can't be done on insane is the extended doctor skip, that also skips the sprinklers, and priest skip at the end. There's also quitting to menu at the end of first chapter that saves about 20s, and you save some time getting past Chris.

The load screens add up to almost 3 minutes, so this would be sub 30 on PC, although I'm aware that the improved explosion skip doesn't actually work on PC (yet?), and you save some time on female ward skip as well. Not sure which version has faster doctor skip/disco inferno.
Sorry guys, I broke outlast, at least on ps4. You can skip from 1st chapter to priest skip/god glitch. Record is at 13:24 by Pwntimex.

This is both amazing and sad at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I love breaking this game, but this is too much for me I'm afraid. I'm mulling around quitting this game (not just because of this, but other reasons as well) and this may do it for me. I'll dabble in this a bit more to see how it works on the PC version.
Wake up and be awesome
Just putting my 2 cents in, why not just make separate categories for each type of run, like runs with Very Large skips (13:24), and runs with smaller but still large skips (32:40)?

It certainly can be, but because of the magnitude of this new skip, challenging for world record would just come down to small optimizations. I've actually said for a while (somewhat jokingly at the time) that if a skip was found that went from beginning to end, I would quit. Guess I have to eat my words :3.

But in reality, I have a lot on my plate atm, lot of new games coming out in a short time period, practicing Blasto for SGDQ, IRL stuff, and potentially turning my attention toward a bigger project post SGDQ; namely Alice: Madness Returns, and my interest in Outlast has been waning in anticipation for Whistleblower. This was merely the stem of the cherry on the icing of the cake with blown out birthday candles and a slice already cut from it.
Yeah, I always thought I'd be cool to find that sort of glitch, but now that I did, it made the speedruns so boring if using it. We were talking about adding category for no chapter skips, so you can't skip whole chapter like in this one. There's also the insane mode runs that I have been doing mainly, you can't use this skip on those, because this uses reaching a save point to work and insane doesn't have saves at all. In any case I did lose some interest in running this game after finding this. Oh well.
RIP in peace Outlast:( I had hopes for a better Male Ward, but this is not what I had in mind.

I'll never disparage someone for glitch hunting, so everyone should give congrats to Finath, but I think we have some serious decision making as a community. Connor, Albinohat, and I are usually in the same boat when it comes to things like this, but I won't speak for them.

I'll propose this as a solution.

We now have two categories:
Any%-timed from Admin_gates, go to (name of new glitch), then GG, then Superman, then end.
Any% no (name of new glitch)-uses standard route minus (name of new glitch)

I think this is the ony separation that will save us from going the way of VVVVVV
Yeah, I actually made a post on the speedrun subreddit and it has gotten a lot of attention http://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/2495b7/new_outlast_glitch_skips_90_of_the_game/. But I pretty much had the same sentiments you guys have. I think the up/down votes were getting a little troll-ish in the discussion as /r/speedrun seems to have its own idea of how speedruns should be justified and shit, not how SDA lets the community for the game decide, but I think I made my fair points.

The whole point of the post was really to get some exposure to the game though, as I feel as competitive as it has been for several months now, it has lacked the exposure it deserves.
Get over here!
That skip is harder than it looks. I can't even get the clip Sad

Here is chapter skip 2.0 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1429109600672415&l=1031323092509674080

This might work on PC, worth a try at least. And I swear guys, I won't make the game shorter anymore :P.

WR with this glitch is now 11:54 by pwntimex.
edit And now it's 11:17 by Oram77

If anyone is wondering how I found that, I had already found that area below the map yesterday. Today I went to last chapter, and counted steps from second save point to the elevator, it was 16 steps, turn 90 degrees and 50 steps. So I did same at 1st chapter to determine where that save point is, and because it happened to be right behind the wall of the asylum and towards starting point from there, I did some jumps to that direction. After couple of tries I got it right.

Oh, and this is completely doable on PC.
PC 10:36 WR http://www.twitch.tv/saintconnor/c/4157743

Guess I can clear my schedule for other games now Kappa.

I added a video of the skip to my youtube channel with some notes.

I know I sweared not to make the game shorter, but I found a way to do the chapter skip even faster. Here is the new WR with new skip. This makes sub 10m run on pc possible.



The run was very good, but absolutely perfect run you could be 5-10s faster.
FINATH STAHP
Sorry, I can't help it, it's my nature :P. But seriously now I will move to insane runs, because there's tons of new skips for it, including skip from start of prison to the part where you hang from the ledge and sewer valve skip.
Oh? Like what? Have any vids for those?
Oh, and did you get this post patch? I'm having sudden trouble with door boosting.

Patch is not out on PS4 yet.

edit So the patch basically just added insane mode on PC, didn't fix any glitches that work on ps4.
nvm, still works

Yep.
