Nothing really new here, but I just want to talk about CA clipping (clip using Climber's Agility in TR13)
It also works in TR15, so don't forget about it. It can be really useful to clip instantly through some doors. (Usually it only works one way)

For people who don't know what it is, I made a short video (2 CA Clips) just to show you how it works.

It's the easiest thing in the world, roll against a door (or sometimes a thin wall) and immediately jump. Voilà

Ok now that we've all figured out how to clip into that house for tree OoB let's just not...

So I gave the bear skip a new look.
Wanted to give airwalking over there a shot - without success - yet.
Back to back scramble it is Tongue

(very consistent for me once you have the setup)

Should be 20-30sec faster then MoXxis new route

Hi All,

sorry I haven't been able to keep up at all during the week, so let me know if any of these are new skips. If not I'll gonna remove them from the board.

Havent figgured out a 100% consistant setup for the last skip yet, needs some work, but should be easily done, there were multiple spots I was able to clip through that door.
(Btw this does not lead into a softlock)

Also here is something I found in the beginning, but didnt post yet. Its really hard to setup, because there is an invisible barrier for the slide you have to force yourself into somehow.

Some cool skips!

Since we skip the molotovs we should not skip the grenade arrows since that will be our only AoE and the game softlocks on the fight at the end of acropolis.

You can still loot grenade arrows and use them tho..., dont think you can craft them on your own, sadly. But I ran into a different problem later, so skipping them might actually turn out a softlock afterall : (...

as far as we know there is a checkpoint at that gate where you would normally go under after clearing the debre this checkpoint is not there and because of that we get a softlock at the fight

Yeah you dont get the grapple axe, so I guess that part is not very useful.

Neat, now we could potentially skip prison and go directly to geothermal valley. Will propably not be of any use, but maybe there's a way to route it faster. Maybe the game even gives them to you, like the fire arrows is TR2013. I don't have any hopes of that happening, though.
I think I'll be checking that now.

@CptKiwi and yet another faster bear skip. Why are all of you so obsessed with skipping him? Cry

@Aphox Some of that might not be useful due to softlocks, but you reminded me that not killing enemies is a valid option.

I found a different way to speed up this part, your ally is conviniently blocking the shots from the shotgun guy, making this actually really consistantly possible. Skipping not much but hey...

@Leemyy, I think skipping enemys as much is possible is really a thing you should go for in this game. When I watched the part if "The Acropolis" from the newest run I noticed he was looting a lot of ammo, that looked like a lot of wasted time to me.

I also tried an Acropolis skip today, but yea the grapple axe seems to be a problem I don't know if the rest of the game would load properly though... I also tried to do a quicker version to see what happens but that way the next area didn't load.

EDIT: I just realized I messed up the first try... so you can skip to 1min^^

I had a lot of stuff that didnt turn out at all too, never posted it tho. if you guys wanna see some random vids that dont work out, let me know.

If it has the potential to become useful somehow sure!

I just tried to go straight to the mines after the bear skip. But sadly the trigger isn't there...

@Aphox Just post anything, that could be useful, even if you don't find a use for it.

Sadly I didnt record most of it... here are two small vids but they dont actually show much.

First shows me getting really early (without pistol even) inside the prison area, however nothing seems to trigger when you are down there...

And there there is this one where I tried to skip city on fire stuff, right after fire arrow skip. Sadly I couldnt go really far.

From now I will start recording stuff that doesnt work out I guess. This is my first glitch-playthrough anyway so I hopefully will find more stuff on my 2nd round with all that gained knowledge I gathered so far.

Also I found this small skip:

I just timed the Golden Gate Skip and it even is about 30sec faster than my route. So we should definately go for that.
The only downside is the bad visibility during the aim-walking phase, but it is pretty consistent once you practise a bit.

a slightly different method for the end seams way more consistent to me

edit: this recording was messy and not clear enough here a better one

Truljin @ Twitch

Seems safer and not too bad to pull off, but the prison oob is so inconsistent, there are a few skips that could use better setups so going to have a look when I have time to spare.

Please, somemone have to explain me how the prison clip works! I understand how you can clip upward in the room upstair. But it's so hard to go directly outside.

@SamuraiBlue I don't get what happens at 0:57 in your Prison Break video. Do you just press backward ? Do you mash aim ? Or press it at a "slow" pace ?

TheArtisticBallistic

2016-02-06 09:36:57 am

@Moxxii I think it's better to go upstairs when you want the assault rifle. Because of the checkpoint reload you can stay on the roofs a bit longer and skip the water with electricity part. When you clip outside directly you have to enter before that and watch some cutscene stuff etc.

MoXxi

2016-02-06 09:53:00 am

Ooh right I see. And the rifle is really useful for the rest of the run, isn't it ?

Truljin @ Twitch

The rifle is a must tbh, I tried a run without it and you really don't want that.

Hey I just found an OoB during Cathedral Ascend

There seem to be a lot of deathplanes around, but maybe someone can make something of it.

Also, was this already posted here ? Didn't find it, but maybe you havent seen it yet.

TheArtisticBallistic

2016-02-06 10:49:35 am

2nd one was already known :/

I don't know if this one here is known, it's also at the Cathedral
