Wait, when was this thought not possible on console? I've been doing it on 360 since it was found.

2016-02-16 02:09:08 pm

I was able to get skywalking started, but was never able to control it. Copper mill is also confirmed on XBO, but only to the broadhead arrows. I cant get to the cutscene trigger. Instead of the whole Atlas skip thing, is there another option to get broadhead early to save time? Intro skywalk I can get started, but not able to move to the right yet, and I'm not sure why.

so, anything below 100FPS is allowed and anything above is no go? cool, and also cool that dxtory allows fps limit without license, thank you for that info.
And damn that intro OOB ... I have no problem getting the skywalking started, but moving her to the right is so damn tricky, I cannot figure out the setup no matter how many times I watch those videos Cheesy

And path of the deathless OOB I was bound to learn, but now it seems even more necessary! still managed to get 1:55:05 on my 2nd ever full run, so to me, that's something.

@Zydin Oh ok, I know it was possible but not to the same extent as pc, maybe I've missed some posts, there is so few console runners that I've never seen in it done. Maybe it will make RA worthy of interest.
Have you managed to get Intro or deathless OoB ?

Also @TheArtisticBallistic, can you maybe turn up your ingame brightness for your next runs? really hard to see what you are doing in Path of the Deathless Grin

@Leemyy Yes fps counter has to be visible

@Samurai Good job Smiley

@TheArtisticBallistic But I paid a good price for them! oh well, guess I will have to ask for a refund.

On subject though, I managed to learn the path anyways ! but that final jump to the camp is the death of me >.<

@SamuraiBlue no I haven't attempted it yet. I'm in the process of moving so it's all packed up

Samurai - I've gotten the Deathless OoB on XBO... at least to the floor. idk how to do the rest in the dark lol

@Brass Nice ! I will try deathless OoB later, I was busy training reversed archives and intro OoB and i got it.
If it can help:

I don't do it the pc way, if so, I never manage to get Lara to the right. So I make her jump just right to the landing spot.
Then I got lost on the way to the summit...

Hey everybody. I found some stuff again.

First of all, it came to my mind that we should maybe use Broadhead Arrows to save some time: (sorry for the audio desync)
<currently uploading>

I havent found any huge timesaves with this, but Broadhead Arrows allow you to jump ridiculously high up. This allows you to save a few seconds all over the Run and as a bonus we also skip some janky climbing. These are just some examples, there are more spots like this.

Secondly, here's a consistent way to do the clip for the second half of Ice Age skip:

If done right, this one is very consistent. Just make sure to look left of the drippling water.

A minor OoB during the Kitezh climb:

You can actually walk behind that statue and I even managed to clip through one of the walls. (into a death plane Tongue

)

And just in case some of you don't know, this is how to clip the Gate in the end of Corela skip.

here you go @TheArtisticBallistic .. maybe some of you guys can figure out a consistant method for 2 cycle rope swing, maybe a 1 cycle for 2nd swing?

Oh damn, I thought that already was known? I did that by mistake in a run and just kept doing it, should have posted it here.

What has really destroyed my runs recently is the freaking research base. The only safe way to speedrun Rottr I could come up with is to exit menu + continue after the river and before the deer gets shot. However if you mess something up after that and you need to reload because of it.. well then you are most likely screwed and it's run over.

That aside I finally got a 1:30:30, so sub 1:30 is in reach.. but some fast and safe strats for the suicide run before the chopper fight are probably needed.

Why is that? I didnt seem to have that problem.

I was toying around in Research Base after Tau suggested I try an OoB there, that I found yesterday.
I did find something. It didn't include the aforementioned OoB but it is sure to make all of you happy:

Yes, this skips both of the unreliable OoBs and it seems to be perfectly consistent itself. If pulled of well, this also saves time over the previous route.
There are some things I have to say about this, though. There are quite a lot of invisible walls around the area, there also are fake floors. Thankfully death floors are very uncommon.
About my route, there's also things to be said.
In the very beginning, make sure not to let go of back tooo early, or Lara will snap back inbounds. I use lighting as a queue. As soon as her Glowstic doesn't cast light on the ground anymore, you should be good to go.
Notice, that I am taking a detour at around 1:20. This is because you need to hit a trigger in order to load the next area. The collision is actually there without hitting the trigger, but it'll be invisible.
I do not recommend srcambling to make the Jump at 2:04, it has a tendency to pull you down into a death floor.
Be very careful when jumping onto the roof at 2:10, stay close to the edge. If you walk too far towards the center you will go past an invisible wall, which locks you in bounds.

I hope you all enjoy this skip. I have a feeling the beginnig of it might be improvable. That cave has glitchy spots all over it. Also, if we managed to stay to the right of the path at 0:40, we might be able to save some more time.

As for now we don't. But maybe there is a way to make it faster anyways.
