Can you make a tutorial for how to do this? it seems really iffy on the runs, so any tips or tricks would be nice. Plan on running this game w/in a week.
Thanks

So I finally attempted this and can say its honestly a joke to pull off for anyone wondering. IDK why it seems so iffy in the runs but if you simply walk forward from the corner spot, you will bounce around and almost certainly clip through. Just make sure you don't reorient yourself so that the camera inbounds or you will as well most likely.

On that same note, you can softlock yourself by entering episode 7 while swimming. You enter a perpetual swim state w/ no oxygen meter. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to get above the wall you clip through normally but it may be possible.

From what I understood, swim glitch was still standard route? Or do you just mean the way it is/was done?

So i finally got a warpless run to Bosc; Fortress and I have to say, all the above is only relevent for Uranian Dunes, The fortress swim glitch is a gatekeeper and insanely precise if you dont know how to do it, and maybe even if you do? I got to Episode 9 in 19 minutes and spent 20 on the water clip before giving up, so a tutorial would be appreciated for this step.

That glitch is a run killer for sure, you can make it more consistent with practice, but it'll never be fully consistent.

I just wanna say that I do not climb on the thing to activate that glitch, I just jump in the corner part and hold down as I hit the pool. So I dunno if climbing makes it easier for you, but for me, it works this way (though not consistent)

I kinda had a setup that was working pretty consistently, but the timing was weird, I remember I had to switch the direction I was swimming in (the controls are like inverted or something iirc?) and that when I timed the input well it worked pretty decently as long as I could get blasto setup on the right spot

My setup, which took 4 minutes to work mind you, was to aim blasto in between the Right set of 2 studs and the middle single stud, then jump into not the water, but literally the corner (if you try it you'll see you can actually clip right in) and then the moment i hear the splash, begin holding back. This came courtesy of Chrissy and worked for me.

I think what I did was just line up in a certain way (I would have to rewatch my vods or something) and then I pushed forward into the corner of the rock while blasto is aligned in a very specific way. If you get him in one of these positions, he seems to clip almost every time. As for how the setup looked, Imma look through my vods in a little bit and try to see if I can find it, I will mess around later as well on the game

I was talking to Chrissy about wanting to experiment with this glitch a lot more, so if people are into trying new things we could maybe make a channel or a sheet or something where we can keep everything that we try/learn/do recorded and easy to see. Or something like that.
Merry Christmas lol

I'll give these a proper look later when I have time, thanks for sharing. I'll give you some proper feedback soon

cough partial credit cough lol but yea we should probably make a wiki or something, I have other things to share but no one is in discord anymore

Should prob be made a resource or something but I think only mods can. Anyways here it is

I showed my friend, Linkums, this glitch and he seemed intrigued to the point of possibly joining our community.
I was trying to show him the Ep. 9 one so he could see the warpless route, and as soon as I mentioned you could crash the game and get random quotes, which he expressed much interest in seeing, I crashed the game for the first time ever here.
All in all, potentially got at least one more runner based off this glitch alone.

I am planning on doing a video tutorial really soon so I wasn't gonna bother to comment here but after watching how you did your glitch Saint Connor, I think that for the sake of the community I will just throw this up here for now so you guys can mess around with it, since I think it would be worth anyone who plans on running this game to at least try/know.

Any ways I have come up with a setup for the second swim glitch which I find really consistent (Only talking about the bosc fortress swim here, but if you have questions about episode 4, feel free to say so or DM me).

So if you watch how SaintConnor does his setup, and how I do mine in this clip here I am about to post at the bottom :eyes: they look almost exactly the same.
My theory still being that this trick is frame perfect/very very close to frame perfect is seeming to make more and more sense as I analyze this trick however I cannot say so for sure ofc.

Anyways to the meat of it, what you want to do is get Blasto as far jammed into a corner as possible, I find the one being used here to be the best personally (I have in the passed done it on the opposite side, which works well too but I like this one the best after trying a few times, I do try both tho if I am not having a good time).
After you get a pretty good angle, you want to jump into the water (obviously) and the second that Blasto is about to hit the water hit FORWARD, do not press X, as it makes timing this trick much more difficult (Maybe if you have the timing really really well then go for it, but for me so far, I find this to be much better) and instantly after, you hold back.

The screen should fidget very shortly (I think its typically just one quick camera angle freak out, then goes back to normal. It maybe more than one, or maybe non, but from what I can tell it usually seems to just do it the once, unless Blasto kinda gets pushed back up and then falls in the water again as if you were trying to repeat the trick without jumping out of the water, in which case I think sometimes you get lucky and get it then,) and he will be pushed back into the ground.

I believe the cause of this is him trying to escape the pool, but you hitting back simultaneously on a specific frame putting him back into the water which bugs the game out, because he is in the corner the collision pushes him into the floor when he goes back in a standing state.

Completely just making this up btw, but this is just how it makes sense to me from seeing it, and doing it. Sadly we probably will never know until someone looks into game code or something.

Anyways, jump into the water, hold forward, then back instantly the second he starts to climb. Works like a charm, I think using the d-pad for the climb seems to time your back input much better, also you will never soft/hardlock this way.

Sorry if that was wayy wayy too much rofl just read the very last bit if you wanna see what is going on anyways. Also I always swim out so that way I don't push Blasto back in bounds, I don't typically swim up early either because I know in episode 4 it can push Blasto in bounds (I lost a billion to that during that run actually). Anyways gl and hf blasting fools.
