If you are interested in running the game, we have a discord that you can check out where you can ask questions and find out new strats we've been talking about https://discord.gg/e4HQ5Xp

note: the low% route is the same the any% route, minus he part collection and switching parts.

My personal build for the majority of the run is Metal Ape with the 3-way gun, standard bomb s, speed pod d, and long thrusts. This can be varied in that some people prefer standard bomb f and the standard pod. Additionally, long thrust is used for zoning opponents. If you zone better without the long thrust legs then that is viable as well. The standard bomb s is used for stunning opponents to allow an approach with the 3-way. I like using the speed pod as fast chip damage and combo extenders.

-day 1 it's an auto scroller just be careful not to over mash the text boxes once it gets from the part where you need to talk to everyone, follow the route bellow

There is a new route where you skip visiting the parts generator here in order to get standard bomb s earlier. Either can be used, or both can be used. It is a matter of preference for the Harry fight coming up
make sure not to say "I'll hang around" 

-day 2 visit parts generator outside your house (if you did not do so before and were planning to before the harry fight) go to the steel hearts fight harry at the gym equip 3-way if you have it Alt. If you want the standard bomb s route, visit the parts generator after the Harry fight fight all computers from right to left Alt. You can fight the left most computer to receive the speed pod d before visiting the parts generator before fighting the rest of the computers follow harry to the park and fight the guy in the left make sure not to say "I'll hang around" -day 3 go upright to the testing facility answer the questions middle top bottom bottom
top bottom bottom top middle bottom sidenote: you only need 80% on this so you can mash a through one of the middle or bottom answers to save a tiny bit of time finish and talk to harry (follow back to steel hearts) Walk back home with harry -day 4 don't talk to land lady after waking up, go to steel hearts fight husband and wife follow team to bogey's walk back to steel hearts make sure not to say "I'll hang around"

-day 5 After talking to land lady visit the parts generator, then go to Damien's - talk to earnest, Harry and Marcia follow earnest to steel hearts walk to bogey's - fight evil talk to everyone in tourney room, then talk to the waiter twice (follow route below)

after first tourney fight (paulie), go to parts generator 
make sure not to say "I'll hang around" 

-day 6 Go to steel hearts Follow Harry and Marcia to the training hall Talk to everyone with the guy on the far right last
-day 7 Go to lab
Go to the center room and do the scene Below is the route for the entire section with notes

[Important]
Talk to everyone in every room from right to left (skip middle) 
Talk to evil on the way 
Talk to harry last 
Talk to the unbroken glass on the left, then marcia once burglary starts 
Go to innermost right room and fight 
Go out and fight 
Go to center room and fight 
Go outside and fight the twin 

-day 8 Go to bogey's -day 9 Go to steel hearts Follow team to the tournament Talk to everyone in the route below

-day 10 Go to steel hearts Go to HQ (bottom right) Note: Fire a bomb or shoot at rahu to punish it's landing. This is one of the only good times to damage it -day 11 Go to Damien's Beat Sergei Go to HQ The rest is mashing -day 12 Go to steel hearts, go to police hq, go to the center room, go to the bathroom, take the train, go outside enter z hideout This segment is pretty self explanatory walk to the next fight, beat the guy, walk to the next fight Use the metal ape and 3-way for all the fights Just keep going to the next room and fight the people until you beat rahu. Button mash for 3-4 minutes, then leave Fight the two guys, then you'll get to a section where Harry needs to go to the bathroom

[Important]
Keep spamming b to say you won't go with him and you'll skip a couple fights 

Maze Route


Keep using metal ape and 3-way for these fights.  The first fight is typically one of the harder fights in the game. 
This next portion is again, move forward, fight a guy, move forward, until you reach rahu III 

For Rahu III, you can use the 3-way or the Gatling. Every runner does this fight differently.  My preference is the 3-way for solid damage at a distance and heavy damage close range, the Gatling gives good damage at a distance and more stun time for your allies to hit him, but does less overall. Shotgun gets good damage in but requires you be close at all times and gives you no range.
