WARNING: This category is not for beginners to Jak & Daxter Speedrunning. Noone will stop you picking this category to run first, but we highly recommend you give No LTS, 100%, or No FCS a try first. FCS and LTS are both required to complete a run, and neither of them are doable without a lot of practice. FCS is considered the hardest trick/skip in Jak Speedrunning.

If you are going to run Any% you need to practice both FCS and LTS heavily before attempting runs:

Route

Similar to No FCS, there are two currently used routes for Any%. The only major difference between the two is the use of two different methods for skipping the Klaww boss fight, collectively known as Klaww Skip. The faster of the two routes (Lava Walk) saves ~1:40 in total over the slower route, however it is recommended that you use the deload route until you have completed a few runs at least.
