Part 8 & 9: Find the Embers + Higher Education. Two main missions in the same video due to their short duration. Covering all of the potential routes and Fan Zone quest setup, which will affect routing later on
https://youtu.be/pd9XH3XoSbQ

Part 10: Public face. Another straightforward quest, which takes place mostly in the closed space. No new mechanics or potential alteration to the route here
https://youtu.be/oUuB19DmU8E

Part 11: Rendezvous. Just like the 8th and 9th quests in the game, the mission is extremely short, so this part also covers your way inside the museum
https://youtu.be/8xRHkjyrIQs

Part 12: The Museum. Covers the ~~run killing~~ *barrel skip* (or *museum swim skip*) and the rest of the potential strats during this mission. This part has the biggest amount of unskippable cutscenes, so this one is your tea break during the run
https://youtu.be/qXZ55DZ9G_A

Part 13: Broadcast. Covers the first and only (for now) mission, which utilizes *shield flying glitch* (which was covered in part 0)
https://youtu.be/tLT1lP5WRk8

Part 14: The Clinic. Covers one of the most boring missions of the game, due to large amount of unskippable dialogues, during which you have nothing to do, but ends with important *radio call skip*, which is the main reason for the search for plastic
https://youtu.be/S_dG5Hz-mHU

Part 15: Extraction. Final mission of the game, which is also extremely linear, but has some quirks related to the ability to softlock. Also covers different movement tricks, which may save some amount of time

How to change audio language to French

Since French is the fastest language to run the game with (faster dialogues = faster checkpoints) here's a step-by-step guide as to how to put your game to French while keeping everything else your local language.

NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS FOR STEAM USERS.

- First you need to put your game in the language that you want for the audio. Right click on the Dying Light on the library > Properties > Language (in this case we choose French)

- Go to Dying Light folder on pc and open 'DW' folder (Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Dying Light > DW)

- On 'DW' folder, open 'SpeechFr' and make a backup of Data folder. (This Data contains all the audio files in French)

- Change the language of your game again on steam, changing to your subtitles language. (in my case, English) PS: make sure that you have downloaded the language pack, open the game and test.

- Go to 'DW' folder again. Look that you have another 'Speech' folder, for me it's SpeechEn (but it can be SpeechEs, SpeechRu, etc). Paste the Data folder previously copied from the SpeechFr and replace all the files.

This will replace the audio but it keeps the subtitles in the language that you choose.

This was taken from the Steam guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/239140/discussions/0/606068060819884079/
