The Island Boss fight SKIP

Hello everyone!

In easy category of the Island speedrun i tried to mesh into tek cave and it finally successfully. But game have triggers that kill you instantly if you trying to sneak into cave system.

I tried to knock me out by narcotics and jump into cave. When i fall down into the cave on its floor, i was alive. When i wake up, game kill me.

Maybe there have some glitches that can give you hope to survive. That can save over 2 hours in run. No bosses. No artifacts.

Maybe someone can find the way in mesh.

I will try it again ... good luck in searching!

Would you mind sharing a clip or tips on how you managed to clip inside the tek cave?

I'm on ps4 and I might give it a try too.

Russia

I tried it tons of time ... and get killed everywhere and everytime when enter the cave system. Now i have no tips. But maybe someone will find it. Maybe not ... now i think that is impossible ...

Waza__Alex, can also you try to spawn on scorched earth and check spawn artifacts ... last run was with admin cheat commands. I have no PS4 and can not check spawn. Use god and fly mod and wait some time ... you can use slomo X to not wait long time.

Now i going to record that mesh. But it work only in Easy sub category.

You said you managed to get into the tek cave, that's the part i'm most interested about. I would like to clip inside and die as you mentionned. Once I can get inside, I will try a couple ideas.

For Scorched Earth I will go take a look but I never had problems with artifacts on PS4.

Russia

You can get into the mesh in any cave only in Easy mode run. That all because "Disable Structure Placement Collision - checked".

Russia

I do not tried this yet on any cave to get artifacts quickly.

Russia

Knocking out is only one thing that save your life in tek cave. I Just tried to reenter into the game. I was killed too when wake up.

Thanks for the clip. This is really interesting, i'm gonna take a look at this today.

As for the Scorched Earth, I just looked at your run and omg you were so unlucky to have to wait like that for the artifact to spawn.

I had never seen any problem related to artifacts not spawning but I think that's because I played too casually.

As I went inside cave with Fly and godmode on a brand new map, I had to wait for every artifact to spawn. I wonder if the artifacts are not spawning because the maximum number of "objects/creatures" inside the cave is already reached

Russia

I learn that dinos count in caves does not affect on art spawn. When i walk inside cave and wait some time ... when art does spawned also some creatures spawned too. When i go back you can see them. Artifacts on scorched earth spawn with dinos.

Okay, I did a bit of testing and here are my results:

-Clipping inside the inner volcano wall is pretty easy from a bunch of spots with 2 sleeping bags.

-There is definitely an automatic kill zone behind the tek cave door, (maybe narcotics are a way to get around that) . Playing as an ascended character does not remove the kill zone.

My next guess would be to try mapping the tek cave and try to locate a different spot from which we could clip inside. (hoping the kill zone is only at the entrance)

Good luck hunting!

Russia

Oh yeah. I will check teleport area (to overseer) ... if it will instakill, that mean meshing is not solution. Every tamed dinos instakilled in tek cave.

Russia

LOL. I just find very stupid strat for killing King Titan ... i need to run Extinction. That so glitch.

This might have changed recently, but i dont know if meshing into artifact caves will be possible, because while exploring in ghost on xb1 around artifact caves, just outside the cave walls was a kill barrier.
