[OUTDATED] All Gordos (Glitchless) Route/Notes for 1.3.0b

All Gordos Glitchless Route/Notes (Current as of v1.3.0b)

Gordo order:
- Pink 1
- Phosphor
- Rad
- Hunter
- Quantum
- Rock 1
- Rock 2
- Crystal
- Tabby 1
- Honey
- Tabby 2
- Pink 2
- Boom
- Dervish
- Tangle
- Mosaic

~General Tips/Notes~
* Should at least have decent plort prices for Honey and Boom at start (at least 45 each recommended)
* There are several points at which it's very easy to die, these include:
    - Feeding Feral Pink Boom largos for plorts
    - Collecting plorts from Honey Boom largos before buying the Plort Collector
    - Carrying the Rock Rad largo to the Ruins

[OUTDATED] All Gordos Guide 0.4.3

¤Very Outdated¤

This run is very straightforward. If you're curious about routing you can check any of the videos for the category, as it's fairly easy to memorize, but I'll just be explaining a few things about the run in this guide.

Firstly, the one and only major glitch in the run (which the community has dubbed Sleepwalking) can be a bit weird and hard to get a hang of. You have to enter the house, and then unplug a controller, then plug it back in. This will bring up an invisible pause menu, so navigate blindly down to Emergency Return and activate it. It'll be one A-Press to start it and one to confirm. Then Sleep Until Morning, move down to Return to Ranch, and hit A. Now you'll be outside, the pause menu AND the Emergency Return text will still be up, and now you can switch back to keyboard and mouse. Now just hit Esc and time should be moving at around 100x speed while your character is still able to move around, and this means that plants grow faster, you can't take any significant damage, and your energy meter will either never go down or refill immediately once you stop using Jetpack/Sprint.

Secondly, the run itself. There are (as of 0.4.2d) nine Gordos to feed. 2 Pink, 2 Rock, 2 Tabby, 1 Phosphor, 1 Honey, and 1 Rad. Each slime (except the pinks) have a favorite food, and feeding the Gordos their favorite food will make them pop twice as fast as any other food. For example, a Phosphor Gordo would take 65 Pogofruit or Mint Mangos to feed completely, but only 33 Cuberries.

Pink = No favorite food, but 45 of any type of food will pop it.
Tabby = 33 Stony Hen, or 65 of any type of chicken.
Rock = 33 Heart Beets, or 65 of any vegetable.
Phosphor = 33 Cuberries, or 65 of any fruit.
Honey = 33 Mint Mangos, or 65 of any fruit.
Rad = 33 Oca Oca, or 65 of any vegetable.

By far it's more beneficial to feed each Gordo a mix of what they can eat, because otherwise you'd have to make multiple trips to your food sources in order to pop them. Instead of walking back and forth between the Stony Hen nest and the second Tabby, it's much faster to feed it 20 Stony Hens and 25 of any other chicken.

Thirdly, a few tips. Learn the map and the food spawns, to make walking around and using backup strats second nature. I also recommend double tapping jump when you want to jetpack because sometimes it will take a little bit to get to max height, but if you tap and then hold it will go to max height very quickly.

The largest Cuberry spawn is behind the first Pink Gordo, the largest Mint Mango spawn is next to the Honey Gordo, the largest Heart Beet spawn is in the area before the first Rock Gordo, the best (not necessarily largest but it's the one I primarily use due to convenience) Stony Hen spawn is by the Key Door to the Glass Desert, and the largest Oca Oca spawn is in between the broken bridge and the second Rock Gordo. 

I collect the Jetpack early on to maximize my movement options through the rest of the run, but you only definitively need it to cross the broken bridge to get the second Rock Gordo and the Rad Gordo.

I personally set my graphical settings as low as they can go to make my recording and gameplay 60fps, but I don't know if that has any bearing on the run itself.

Finally, good luck!

[OUTDATED] Any% Glitchless 1.2.0 Complete Guide

(Written May 7th 2018, is currently updated)

This guide is an attempt at sharing all of my knowledge on this route/game. It will be incredibly detailed and I'll mark minor optimizations from major concepts appropriately.


First things first, settings: they're all up to your preference except for Fullscreen. For some reason, if you play in full screen you gain control of your cursor slightly earlier after sleeping until morning, and over the run it stacks up to a significant amount (I estimate at least 5 seconds, probably more). Also, you might want to change your system date to any of the other four weekdays if you're trying to do runs on Friday/Saturday/Sunday - there's in-game events that lower your odds of completing a run if you play on the weekend.

Another general thing to learn about is sprinting patterns. In most cases it's best to just sprint until you run out, fully recharge, sprint again; but some areas are consistent enough that you can memorize different, slightly faster patterns and pull them off consistently. Those will be noted throughout the guide.

Also, jumping up slopes is faster than walking up slopes, but sprinting speed beats both. In the same vein, walking down slopes is faster than jumping down slopes, but sprinting speed beats both. Keep this in mind as you refine your movement throughout.

For the rest of this guide, you can refer to my PB/WR (as of time of writing this guide) for a video explanation of things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFlKz6RH07A

--- Section 1: Pink Gordo ---
Immediately upon spawning, turn right and vac up the carrots as you start sprinting forwards and out of the ranch. Vac up the two pink slimes on your way and get rid of them whenever you can (plenty of opportunities to do so, don't stress about doing it early if you don't like it). In the first area, proceed to clean up the carrots on the left, the pogofruit tree nearby, then turn back for the second group of carrots and proceed onwards. Make sure to recharge your sprint meter while harvesting so that you can sprint towards the next area without losing time. Vac up the pogofruits from the tree on the right (spawns vary from 0 to 3), sprint forward to the next group of carrots and collect those and then collect the group of pogofruits nearby. Now you'll need to make some quick maths decisions: you need 30 fruits to pop the Pink Gordo, there's an extra bunch of carrots for a small detour in a corner of the same area you're in, and there's a pogofruit tree on the Pink Gordo island. The extra carrots are never necessary unless you're really short on both carrots and pogofruits, but they're worth your time if you have something like 17 carrots and 7 pogofruits as your run is very unlikely to survive otherwise. Otherwise, just head straight to the Gordo island, if you have 30 total food before reaching him you're in luck, if you don't just use the tree next to him to get there. Feed the gordo and try to empty your inventory completely while you're at it, make sure to actually pick up the Slime Key. (OPTIMIZATION: Start throwing food from as far as possible to save some seconds, practice your sprinting on the bridge as you try to feed him from there a little because different heights at various points of the bridge as well as different trajectories of items you launch depending on if you're sprinting or not sprinting can all make a difference.) (OPTIMIZATION: There's a few different patterns of sprinting that work out for this beginning section, you don't necessarily need to learn one but it's easier to learn a good pattern than to try to avoid bad ones while playing instinctively. Watch various runs to see how people get through this section if you're interested in cutting your losses here.)

--- Section 2: Moss Blanket Harvesting ---
Your goal for this section is to reach the teleporter in the Moss Blanket with your inventory containing exactly the following: x5 Boom Slime, x5 (or more) Honey Plort, x1 Mint Mango, x2 (or more) Cuberry.
Getting to the Moss Blanket is for the largest part very simple sprinting patterns. Pick up the cuberries that are literally on your way, enter the Moss Blanket, and head to the area further up leading up to the teleporter. In this area, your goal is to get the items mentioned above as quickly as you can and leave. So, let's go one by one:
- Honey Plort: By far the most complex item to get. Sometimes you'll have honey slimes feeding on the very first group of Mint Mangos and that will be all you need, if that doesn't happen (or at least not to the extent you'd hope for), you'll have to vac up some mangos and head forwards. You can pray for enough honey slimes to spawn in the second section after walking through that empty tree trunk bridge, which would save you time but usually won't get you more than 2 plorts (and often straight up 0 plorts), or you can take a small detour to the mango tree nearby in the first area, which is much more consistently swarmed by honey slimes. If you're not going for a really insane time, the consistency of that tree will probably come in handy for you and you should head there when you're short on plorts.
- Boom Slime: They'll pop up at various points after you walk through the tree trunk. Unfortunately you won't always get five but you will very often get five. The run I linked above gets pretty much the usual boom spawns, sometimes you have to take detours to vac some up from the water on the right or the area right before the teleporter but ideally you won't have to.
- Mint Mango: Ideally you just grab multiple from the very first spawn location and throw them out to honey slimes while keeping one last mango in your inventory, but if you run out, there's more places in the second section where you can pick up extra mangos. Either way this is really simple.
- Cuberry: Ideally you'll have two from the ones you picked up on your way to the Moss Blanket, but sometimes you'll only have 0-1 which is completely fine - there are cuberries in the water on the left right before the teleporter (the run I linked picks them up).
Warp home with your harvest!

--- Section 3: Farming ---
As soon as you return home, turn to your left and plant a Mint Mango. Throw out the boom slimes on the wall nearby, then get rid of the Hen Hen and the Pink Slime nearby as you have to wait a few seconds anyway (Slimes won't eat immediately after being thrown out). Feed one plort to each slime to make five Boom Honey Largos (if you snipe them accurately they will eat instantly, so try to be precise because they can misbehave and not notice a plort right next to them otherwise), head to the area behind your hut to pick up EXACTLY ONE of the three pogofruits lying down there, throw the slime and the hen hen in the vast sea, enter your hut.
If you did the first two sections very fast, you'll only have one mail to read on Day 1, another on Day 2, and another on Day 3. If you were slower, you'll have two mails on Day 1 and one on Day 3. Either way, it's possible to skip reading a couple of mails throughout the game but I honestly can't recommend it - it's a minor optimization that is likely to make you lose runs due to getting confused on which mails you can skip and which ones you can't, or at least losing any time you'd make up due to having to think about what you're reading. I also haven't learned the details of that little time save myself so uh, I guess you should join the discord and ask people who actually know if you want to save this half second. Otherwise, just read every mail that ever gets to your inbox. Regardless of your preferred method of mail handling, Sleep Until Morning twice to wake up on 6 AM of Day 3.
Head out to see that your Largos have been feeding off the Mangos that have spawned through the days and dropped a large amount of plorts on the ground. 4 of your Largos are no longer necessary, throw them to the slime sea while you harvest plorts. One of them you'll still need for later, throw him across your ranch to the area around the default corral you get at the start. Fill your two inventory slots with Honey and Boom plorts, sell them all, head back to the Mango area to pick up the remaining plorts, plant your single Pogofruit while you're in that area, and pick up any Mint Mangos left on the ground now that your inventory doesn't have to carry Pogofruits anymore. (After you fully clean up the ground, your inventory should be Cuberry/Mint Mango/Honey Plort/Boom Plort) Sell the rest of your plorts, then check your total money. You need 2410 for your run to live, 3060 for the luxury of the 200 energy upgrade (saves some minor seconds over 150 energy but it's no big deal if you miss out), and any small extra bits to pay for stuff like Remove Crops helps. If your Largos didn't produce many plorts due to AI/randomness being stupid and/or if the market prices were low, it's possible for your run to die here, but it's not a common occurrence.
If your run is alive and well, continue onwards: get the Jetpack, Dash Boots, Power Core and Tank Booster upgrades for your vacpack, then head to the two farms right behind the vacpack upgrade machine thingy and plant Cuberries in both. There's one last Pink Slime to get rid of in this area, if he's nice he'll hop towards you and you'll get rid of him quickly, sometimes you'll have to look for him in places a little out of your way to make sure he doesn't mess with your remaining Largo and make Tarr (which is run ending if it happens) but it's somewhat of a rare occurrence.
With your four farms set up, you're good to go. Sleep until Day 5 for them to make more fruit, head out and collect AT LEAST 25 Cuberries + AT LEAST 25 Mint Mangos (use Remove Crops + replant the crop to pick up the fruits quicker if you need to, the ones still up on the trees take some time to vac up but doing this makes them drop to the ground immediately). Sometimes Mangos just won't cooperate and you won't reach 25, another RNG run killer, so you just kind of have to pray for the best.

--- Section 4: Two Gordos, First Three Gate Plorts ---
Your goal this section is to pop the Phosphor and Honey Gordos while bringing the Phosphor, Tabby, and Rock plorts to the Ancient Gate.
Run out of your ranch with 25+ of both Cuberry and Mint Mango in your inventory. Head straight to the Phosphor Gordo (sprinting patterns can save you some good time here, make sure you're not wasting time recharging energy you won't need because after you drop down to the cave you'll automatically be recharging as you feed the Gordo). Feed him with the Cuberries until he pops, fully empty your inventory of Cuberries in this cave (you'll want to feed one to the Slimes that pop out to get Phosphor Plorts anyway), break the crates the Gordo will drop and pick up any Carrot or Heart Beet you find inside (super super likely that you'll get one of them). Your inventory out of the cave should be Mint Mango (25+) / Phosphor Plort (1+) / Phosphor Slime (1) / Heart Beet or Carrot (1+). Use the Phosphor Slime to slime jump (see the tutorials for slime jumping if you don't know how to do this) up the wall and get back on track. Drop down to the area with Chickens and Tabby Slimes and whatnot - the one right before the Tabby Gordo and the bridges to the Moss Blanket. Here you'll be praying for a Rock Slime spawn, it's very frequent that you'll get at least one but not guaranteed (another RNG runkiller). Assuming the Rock Slime does spawn, feed him the Heart Beet or Carrot in your inventory. If you didn't find any, you can still salvage it by getting a Pink Plort from a slime nearby and feeding that to the Rock Slime to make a Pink Rock Largo, and feeding it with either Mangos in your inventory or Chickens you pick up nearby. Tabby Plorts are very likely to be around without you having to do anything given the giant number of Tabby Slimes and Chickens around, pick one up before leaving the area (if you have to, pick up a chicken and feed it to a Tabby Slime to get that plort, but hopefully the game works with you). Head out with your inventory being Mint Mango (25+) / Phosphort Plort (1+) / Tabby Plort (1+) / Rock Plort (1+). (MINOR NOTE: You can get a Tabby Plort in the Moss Blanket too if the Tabby Slimes here are being really, really uncoopeative, but make that decision quick and commit to it or you'll just be losing time trying to figure out what to do.)
Head to the Moss Blanket again, this time go right after the entrance to reach the Ancient Gate. Put your three Plorts in their place (you'll get the hang of sniping them from a distance quickly enough), run across all the way to the Honey Gordo and feed him with the 25 Mint Mangos (pick up any slime along the way to Slime Jump up his platform without having to wait for your Jetpack to recharge). Once you collect his Slime Key, you can use the Emergency Return function to warp back to your ranch instantly.

--- Section 5: More Farming ---
As soon as you respawn home, get your last Vacpack upgrades (NOTE: this is the only big thing I forget about doing in the video, you'll see me doing this at a later point. It's obviously not a runkiller given that the run survived and WR'd, but it's strictly better to get your upgrades NOW). Tank Booster II is required, grab Power Core II as well if you have the money.
Then, harvest the Cuberries on the ground (don't bother removing crops and replanting, no need), do the same for the Mint Mangos, REMOVE CROPS for your Pogofruit plant and plant Mint Mangos in their place instead - vac up all the Pogofruits on the ground, they should be somewhere in the 30-40 range. (This is the only mandatory Remove Crops of the run.)
Enter your hut and Sleep Until Morning one more time, then finish up harvesting Cuberries and Mint Mangos and say hi to your dear Honey Boom Largo friend again (watch the video for a practical explanation of how to do this part, really really easy sequence). You want to be heading out with 106 total fruits at least between Cuberries, Pogofruits, and Mint Mangos (you can make up smaller numbers with some luck from crates, but that's obviously not recommended and unsafe - still, you'll have to go for it if you're short on fruits).

--- Section 6: Super Largo Odyssey ---
Now you'll have to carry your Largo all the way to the Ancient Gate (the point of this is to have his plorts there without having said plorts occupy any inventory space, if you're wondering.)
We have to do some tricky movement to get to the Quarry without using a Slime Key, it's really simple but it's definitely something that requires practice. A lot of movement with slippery rocks and you'll just have to go out and practice this yourself, especially since you'll have to know it well enough to do it with a Largo blocking most of your field of view.
Anyway, the trickiest part of this is definitely collecting the Rad Plort quickly and without causing disasters. My run is once again a better visual explanation for this segment than words can ever be, put your Largo in a 'safe' area and hope he doesn't wander around too much while you pick up one of the veggies on the ground and feed it to a Rad Slime to pick up his plort. The Rad Slimes that spawn in that place in the linked video aren't always present, sometimes you have to go for a quick and unpleasant backtrack or detour to get that plort. Another place that works out most of the time, but definitely not all the time.
Either way, if your run still lives, carry on with your Largo all the way to the Ancient Gate - use your Slime Key from the Honey Gordo to open the gate between Quarry and Ancient Gate. Shoot the Rad Plort in its place, and feed the poor Largo at last. Collect the Honey Plort and also shoot it in its place, do it for the Boom Plort as well and the Ancient Gate is finally open. 

--- Section 7: Last Two Gordos ---
This entire section is really simple and best learnt by simply watching the video and mimicking what I do.
Navigate the Ancient Ruins and reach the Quantum Gordo, feed it 50 fruits + feed fruits to five (or more, if you can afford it) of the Quantum Slimes that spawn when you pop it. If you're short on fruits, the crates from this Gordo will hopefully save your run by giving you the extra fruits you need (they have chances of giving Phase Lemons which count double since you can get 2 Quantum Plorts for 1 Lemon). Head to the Glass Desert teleporter. Use the Slime Key from the Quantum Gordo you just popped to access it, and activate it with five Quantum Plorts. If you have more in your inventory you can afford trickier shots from further away to save time, since if you miss them it's no big deal, but take it safe if you only have five.
In the Glass Desert, it's really just proper sprint management - copy what I do in my video for a proper display of how to handle your energy for the first half, but I do mess up the rest due to accidental jetpack so don't copy the second half lol. Anyway, fly over to the Dervish Gordo, feed it your last 50 fruits, get its key, sprint all the way to the last Slime Gate you'll be opening, on the left of the big central area of the Desert. Use the door opening animation time to recharge your energy fully, then sprint down to head to the ending section (a really easy way to memorize this route is to just stick to the wall on your right until you enter the tunnel). There's a pretty tough section where you can either use your jetpack or do a really awkward slime jump to push yourself up - while jetpack usage is really easy, it's also kinda slow if you're pushing your time really far. Look at 14:50 on the video in this run -> https://www.speedrun.com/slime_rancher/run/yjkv1dgm for a demonstration of the slime jump, it will take some practice to get down. Otherwise, be a lazy slob like me and just manage your energy so that you have enough to just use your jetpack to clear the gap.
Once you're through that room, simply get to the ending section of the Glass Desert and activate the ending trigger - sprint management here is again not too far from "just sprint until you run out", but you don't have to recharge too long if you're near the ending. Proper management here will come really quick if you pay attention during runs.

--- Section 8: Ending ---
Once the ending trigger is activated, Emergency Return to your home again and immediately re-enter your house. You won't be able to access credits until you read a certain amount of mails from Casey, and those come at a rate of one every 24 hours of in game time, so just Read Starmail -> Sleep -> Repeat for a while. You'll be able to tell what starmail is the last one you need to read before you can read credits because the credits-triggering mail will have a notification pop up earlier on throughout the sleep cycle - for all previous mails you'll sleep a full cycle without a notification popping up, and when the clock hits 6:00 AM you'll get a notification on screen. For the last mail you need the notification will show on screen much earlier, so when you see that happening you will know to quit out and trigger credits. Congrats on your run!

[OUTDATED] Any% Glitchless Video Guide By Hectic 1.0.1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Xuvx0oDJQ&t=16s

[OUTDATED] Glitchless All Gordo Guide for 0.5.1

After a few runs and many routes of All Gordos I think I found a pretty nice route before the next patch hits. I'll include a link to a video of a route being run casually at the bottom. Also I will recommend watching LoneLynx's run with glitches to get a good idea of the locations of all the Gordos if you don't have an hour to spare looking at my route. The splits can be found on the Resources page.

Note for Gordos: You are required to have 45 food items  to satisfy the Pink Gordos, and 65 for other Gordos, if you feed only its favorite food item it will burst with 33 food items.

--------------------------------------------

Best Food Options for each Gordo:
Pink 1: 45 of any food
Phospor: 33 Cuberries
Tabby 1: 33 Stony Hen or 20 Stony and 25 Regular Hen
Honey: 33 Mint Mango
Rock 1: 33 Heart Beets
Rad: 33 Oca Oca
Rock 2: 33 Heart Beets
Tabby 2: 33 Stony Hen or 20 Stony and 25 Regular Hen
Pink 2: 45 of any food
Boom: 33 Briar Hen
Quantum: 65 total fruit.

-------------------------------------------

Now for the most part this run is really reliant on a few things.

1. Getting the right food growing to cut time inbetween feeding Gordos.

2. Getting enough newbucks to upgrade at least 2 garden plots. Best is 3 upgraded Gardens. 4650 newbucks after getting 3 garden plots down.

3. Getting to the 2nd Storage upgrade.


After popping the first Gordo you really want to get Cuberries growing so you can pop the Phospor. 

Note: 
You will want to be collecting hens/stony hens each day to feed the 1st Tabby so you pop it on your way to pop the Honey Gordo. I recommend to get some extra cash after upgrading your vackpack and gardens to get a silo and dump hens in it each day.

After getting the first plot of Cuberries going you will want to start upgrading your garden so it outputs more food. To get newbucks you can use your favorite method. For my route I like to get into the Moss and grab Honey Slimes along with Mint Mangos for my second garden plot since you will go to pop the Honey Gordo after the 1st Tabby.

------------------

You will want to have the 2nd Storage Upgrade before you go to the Honey Gordo.

------------------

While getting the Cubes and Mangos going you will want to try and get a Heart Beet garden going. You could finish feeding the Phospor and then use the Ancient Ruins strat to get into the Quarry and get a Heart Beet and if you are lucky you can also get Oca Oca in one trip. If you don't get Oca Oca you could go back for it a day later or you can plant Carrots (you will just need more to feed the Rad Gordo).

Before you go to the Honey Gordo you will want to clear both your Gardens and get your Veggies going. Optimally you will have beet and oca going, but beets and carrots can work at the cost of some time.

After feeding both Rocks and the Rad you will get into the rocky part of the route. Since the only Gordos left at this point are 2nd Tabby, 2nd Pink, Boom, and Quantum.

Before popping the 2nd Tabby I would recommend going in the Moss for a Day or 2 and getting 33 Briar Hens and storing them in your silo or coop before going to the Ancient ruins. I would also open the Ancient Ruins at this time because if you want to have the least amount of trouble when bringing the food for the Quantum and Boom I would have access to the ruins first. You will see in my run that I don't do this and have a bad time.


You will want to get 45 food for the 2nd Pink Gordo ,hens for your 2nd Tabby, and after that I would switch your gardens to 2 different fruit so you can bring 65 total fruit for the Quantum Gordo.

When you get into the ancient ruins you will want to first find the Boom Gordo slime and pop it then make your way to the Quantum slime and after you pop that the run is over.
------------------

Note about the Boom Gordo:
Feed it from a distance since when it pops the explosion from it can kill you and you will lose your food for the Quantum Gordo.

------------------
This route is probably not the best. This is also my first time trying to route a speedrun so it will have flaws, but I hope we can get a decent route going and get some times for this category up.

[OUTDATED] Slimepedia 100% Route/Notes for 1.2.2+

IMPORTANT: It seems something related to wild food growth changed in 1.3.0 which might require minor changes to some parts of the route. However I'm not planning on routing this out again until 1.4.0 rolls around, as that update will likely shake up the route much more than 1.3.0 did.

Image containing all Slimepedia entries (provided by PickPig):
NOTE: this image is outdated and does not include entires introduced in 1.2.0 onwards
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/265565201825398786/402581683557367818/slimepedia.png

If you have any improvements or suggestions please let me know! (@Supra on the Discord server)

IMPORTANT:
• As of 1.2.2, the Party Gordo appears in a set location on any given weekend. For the currently known most optimal location, set your computer date to June 15-17, 2018 before starting a run.
----------------------------------------

Things to look out for if your running on console.

This is a guide for what you need to look out for on xbox and ps4/5 edition of slime rancher. This is not a direct route, i will be assuming that you know the route already as the route on pc is the same as the route on console.
First thing is recording. The easiest and best option is streaming your runs on twitch using the app and then uploading the vod onto speedrun.com with the time stamp on the description. However if you don't like streaming you can always use a capture card or the recording functions built in on playstation and xbox. (note that you need to use a usb stick if you're on xbox to record.) 
The console edition is usually slower than pc to the point that most of your runs will be minutes slower than pc. I would recommend to not use hold to sprint as it physically hurts your thumbs. For more complex tricks like slime hovering and largo boost, I would personally use these when your time is around 16:30. Largo boosts can be frustrating on console because you can't move your head too fast so being precise for those is a lot more important than being fast.
The slime hover at the beginning is done differently on console. Instead of “riding” on the slime you flick it forward and jump on it twice before flicking it forward again and repeating. Doing this will require a lot of practice but it is no harder than doing it on pc. The last thing I want to note is that during the moss blanket, instead of feeding the honey slimes right when you see them, it is faster to grab the honey slimes and throw them into a pool of water to feed them there. It is easier and faster. If you still need reference I would recommend watching my run. Doing console runs are not recommended in general as it has no benefits and is always slower than pc.
