First time in history

This actually is very impresssive. With better shooting it can still be done faster, I believe, but the fact that you managed to skip the dialog with William and rubberband Thomas to you, bypassing the lengthy wait, is huge and if examined closely, it might be applicable to other chapters as well. Great job!!

Thanks!!!!

If you watched my skips video you can skip the cutscene before snipers with Thomas, but it requires practice and idk if it will cause even more time loss. Video from tips and tricks on my channel. You can use barrels to get up the barn.

How did you skip it at about 2 minutes into the run, though? If you don't mind sharing.

Now i dont understand. Here it is you can check it and also some trick how to get past the gates before concentration mode appears

you can't go forward there you need to go back beacuse it will display a prompt: "You are forgetting about your brother" or something

I just tried it and figured it out. If you're ahead far enough, you can consistently skip the first dialogue with William if you shoot the enemies on the roof only after you climbed the wooden construction. This way the dialogue with William doesn't trigger and Thomas will just continue climbing.

Similarly to this, you can also skip the dialogue with William near the snipers. If you leave some enemies alive, Thomas will continue fighting them and you'll be able to reach the objective before the snipers, teleporting Thomas to you and not triggering the dialogue with William. This will require some more precise timings, but I'll test it and figure it out.

Thanks for this run and your discoveries, it's actually huge and we can work to make it a consistent time save! Great job!!

That's a fucking nice find too. Which enemies? When you climb down the rooflet or when you advance through? Or enemies near barn?

Just a notice, you can do sub 9 easily on Chapter IV. And yeah your skip works, very nice! Im thinking tho why debug mode when enabled enables insta church skip after you go out of the cantina and after the camera zoom (if you have debug mode enabled, press f5 + space and the skip will work) however without debug mode it doesnt' work. Wondering what it is disabling so it triggers

Yes! I'll run the whole level shortly and I can also make a commented video on how to perform those skips.
