### GENERAL TIPS AND TRICKS

Watch your stamina For Any% and True Ending: don't use maintenance on every wound or bleeding you take. Bear with it until it is really important to heal. Don't panic. For NG+: bind your implant for stamina regeneration on hotkey and on "wheel". Use it in this simple order: hotkey, wheel.

Wiggling Mashing left and right makes you move a little bit faster which saves a small amount of time at long runs.

Hug Walls Moving diagonally in walls makes you move faster. For example, if wall is on your right side you should press W+D and look in the parallel to this wall. But be carefull, some walls a rough and will block your movement.

Regenerate stamina in mid-air Release sprint key and start crouching when you are jumping/falling. Instead of losing stamina you will regenerate a small amount of it.

Regenerate health with skill points/inreasing level Putting a skill point into something will fully restore your health, which is essential on Electric Ship and Mars. If done properly, experience management will save your life on Electric ship. All of it will be explained later.

Hacking Forget about Scan and Protection. Attack, Overflow and Mask your best friends. Strategies for hacking in Any% and True Ending: "Glass Cannon" - keep enemy's ATT below 100 and keep YOUR ATT at ENEMY_PROT+100 level. Use 2 x Mask at the beginning of this cybernetic fight and start looking. Use Overflow until you have enough offensive power and then Attack. If he is well protected but his health is low, keep Attacking (brute force). "Slowly but surely" - it is almost the same, but you must keep enemy's ATT at 0. Use Mask on his Overflow, use Overflow otherwise. Strategy for NG+: Mask, 3 x Overflow, Attack until the end. If you get lucky, you will win this in 6 clicks.

Speaking Letter "b" - you need to press Next/Close button in dialogue. Letter "B" - your cursor location will be set in center, you need to move your mouse to press Next/Close button in dialogue. Details are down below for each level.

Weapon duplication glitch Moving your weapon in inventory throws an empty gun on the floor and create a new one in your pockets. It works perfect for small weapons (Medkit, BK, etc) but TRK can be duped only once - it must be placed on the right side of middle rectangle.

Restart Mission feature (singleplayer only) AI is disabled when you press "Restart Mission" button. This report (and every final report) lasts for 15 seconds but pressing button again resets this timer. Bind you FIRE key on keyboard (e.g., R-Ctrl) and go kill enemies.

Creating and upgrading your character Any%: use Gueburah genes. Agility (stat with speed) is very important and it should be about 60, reroll stats untill you get good numbers (62 is highest i have ever seen). Strength and Endurance is good but don't put too much effort for these. Invest skill points in Agility. More speed = greater distances with the same stamina = less time on map. NG+: max stats with all implants, researches and psy-powers. You can keep any equipment before start. You can create such character with Save Editor. True Ending: same as Any%, first cycle can be considered as normal Any%. Buy cyberlegs if you get some money, buy cyberheart only after legs.

### CATEGORIES

########## Any%

#Cave (cc_tuto) First rock, where game tells you about normal jump, can be a problem. Hug left wall and start crouching. If done correctly, you get on top of it without losing stamina on (cyber-)jump. You can jump on elevator's roof. Carefully move youself at the very edge, start crouching, flashlight must be barely seen (probably this one may differ for everyone). Make cyberjump, instantly and slightly press A and when D. Take TRK. Hug walls and pray for your legs. In the sewers, shoot Shu through the door, he should be somewhere behind the right side. Final report should appear.

#Temple HQ (cc_temple1) Speak with Drone

• 1111b
• Bbbbbbbbbbbbb or 13 clicks on button
• B and Rimanah
• 1112b1B1212B Put Medkit on research. After 50 seconds speak with Rimanah again
• 1b111B

#Wurster Corp aka Green (cc_tuto2) For True Ending category: go to Klaus (he will be in right building) and let him live - (2b23) in dialogue, he will give you 10k brouzoufs. Go to the left terminal in hangar. Press USE key and go to the exit. Preferably, cyberjump on trash container and then cyberjump on ladder. Climb up, touch lift and final report should appear.

#New Eden (cc_new_eden) Kill Culter in doorway and go into the sewers beneath bar. Kill bartender through ceiling - aim between first and second metal horizontal bars, but closer to first, it is hard to explain. For True ending category: if you have cyberlegs 2 lvl, create a clone and boost at his head to get out. Turn left after dropping down, turn right, turn left and climb ladder. Here comes first run-killer - briefcase. Problem is that it has 5 spawn locations (actually 6 but it is so rare that it happend with me only 3 times and only after few constant restarts of the level)

1. 1st floor, left apartment, in the corner in right room
2. 1st floor, left apartment, in the bathroom
3. 2nd floor, left apartment, under the table in left room
4. 2nd floor, right apartment, in the far right corner in right room
5. 2nd floor, right apartment, left room After taking this briefcase, now you wait. Use this time for gaining brouzoufs and leveling to 4,5 experience level.

#Temple 2 (cc_temple2) Speak with Rimanah

• 11b11b
• 1b

#Forgotten Center (cc_forgotten) Kill boss through this giant door. Aim a bit higher of middle of brick which is at the left of bandit's head. If you get unlucky shot, make another one. Run to the exit. Left corridor has more walls to hug but metas/bandits may hurt or block you. Way forward is less dangerous.

#Temple 3 (cc_temple3) Speak with Rimanah

• Bb2b
• 1b

#Electric Sheep (cc_sheep) Take mission from terminal

• Bbb1bb. Run to the window where you can see 3 bandits and kill left one closest to you. Go back, on the bridge stand in the corner of left bench, closest to an arc, and take a precise shot to kill bartender (if you got lucky, you will save ~5 seconds). If bartender is dead, drop TRK, run to the console
• Bbb1 or Bbb2 and start crouching to regenerate stamina. Crawl to the armory, heal yourself with medkit (use "Weapon duplication glitch" to recharge medkit if needed), throw away medkit and run. Jump down to the bandits' base, use console
• 1 and run to the first planting site. Now you must be standing at this... tube?... going down. Try to surf here: start crouching, press W+D and keep your crosshair balancing just a little above the middle line. Release W+D keys, you will get launched out if you got lucky. Run to the left in this collector (or whatever it is), hit/throw/drop turret. Ignore shooting bastards and turrets, go to their leader and kill him. Do you remember these experience levels that we were farming on New Eden? If everything was done properly, you will increase your level in this crossfire which will save your life on the way back. Is something went wrong but you still have some saved skill points? Use one to restore your health. Is everything went wrong? You die. Use maintenance in the collector and restore stamina while hugging wall... while crouching. Run to other planting sites and hope that flying Interceptor will not spot or kill you.

#Temple 4 (cc_temple4) Speak with Rimanah

• B23b
• 1b

#Monolith (cc_monolith) Grab the nearest turret and throw it in another one to prevent them from hurting you. Kill Dutch with backstab, take bomb and hack the door. Here comes second run-killer - stationary turrets. This game has 4 types of turrets (from best to worst): laser, machinegun, RawCatLawnChair (with energetic fireballs?), big calibre BS with explosive ammo. First three types are OK, but the last one will kill you in 2-3 seconds. Run past these two turrets, open the door. Turret in the main room is always a machinegun and will never attack you, just run to the right in cave. In cave, turn right and drop down, try to land on the edge at the end of this hole, start crouching before doing so. A little bit of Sharking on water, try to not die from third turret and place bomb.

#Noctis Labyrinthus aka Mars (cc_noctis) This level has 2 Interceptors and 2 Deus Ex Machinas. Take TRK and run to the stone columns on the right. Here comes the first interceptor, you must destroy it and probably kill nearest federals who will show up. Turn to the left to ruins with Deus Ex Machina and if you spot second Interceptor - duplicate TRK and destroy this flying thing. Regenerate stamina and run to the federals' base on the right. You will face Deus Ex Machina and I hope that you have some skill points because this bad boy deal a lot of damage. There is no Machinas? You are the lucky one because sometimes Interceptors can kill one or both of them. Go and hack door, speak with Jaghurta

• 23122.

#Fed's ship (cc_shadow) Use Restart Mission and go backstabbing. Kill 8 federals in giant dark room, 7 federals in other rooms and use console.

#Final mission with Mentor (cc_severed) Use Restart Mission and kill Mentor. Speak with Drone

• 3. Go to the archives and kill first pillar. Second pillar is tricky: use Triangular Gates at him, while standing at edge of the pit with water, jump down and press Restart Mission just before you die. Death reports lasts 10 seconds, so you have less then 5 seconds after respawn to press Restart button again. Rest of the level is easy, just don't lose this timing. In chamber with Rimanah you can kill 2 Culters with backstabs and then use Triangular Gates on the last one (Rimanah can sometimes turn his back to some corner which makes him hard to kill). Get out of this room, take few steps from the enter and wait for report to change. Congratulations! Time!

########## True Ending

#Temple after final battle (cc_temple6) Speak with Ayperos

• 11b2 Speak with Nyblas
• 11 Speak with Hyphialtes
• 2 and fall down in the water, so instead of regenerating stamina and walking back you will respawn with full enegry and closer to the final destination. Repeat the cycle until Federation Ship, only New Eden will change.

#New Eden (cc_new_eden) Instead of going deeper in the sewers, you should use clones to boost yourself: jump on his head, cyberjump to the exit.

• B22b Speak with Cyrus
• 3b3bb

• 22b23b or 3bb23b and fall down in the pit, you will respawn at the beginning of this level near Cyrus. And now the real metastreaumonic sorcery begins. I found it by accident when I was very angry at this level, and I call it "Rimanah Warp" Kill Cyrus and go talk to Mentor
• Bb21 Kill him, mission report should appear. You have got warped through entire cycle as if you chose Rimanah's side on the Mars. Kill Amarok to get Hypnotic Gate ability. Switch to multiplayer. You shouldn't care about difficulty or other options while creating server, just make sure that you picked campaign and not individual level. In the Cave turn right to the portal. In the Labyrinth keep running at right side, cross the bridge turn right and then left (way with long tube). Turn around the corner and go to the right gates almost at the end of this corridor. Speak with Circe

########## NG+ Any%

Kill = Invocation ability or shooting Telefrag = Dragon's Breath ability

Bind psypowers and implants on hotkeys, it can be easily done in options. Use this save editor to create character with maximum stats https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=511062032 or download from guides here https://www.speedrun.com/e.y.e/resources

#Cave (cc_tuto) Medkit has the best accuracy, use it to telefrag enemies. Especially when you fly, crosshair never changes. In the sewers, shoot Shu through the door, he should be somewhere behind the right side. Final report should appear. This will be much harder then in Any%.

#Temple HQ (cc_temple1) Speak with Drone

• 1111b
• Bbbbbbbbbbbbb or 13 clicks on button
• B and Rimanah
• 1112b1B1212B After 50 seconds speak with Rimanah again

#Wurster Corp aka Green (cc_tuto2) After loading, press Esc to close window and activate cybervision to see bandits in a distance. Be very fast, you must telefrag one of them before green fog will cover your eyes. Go to the left terminal in hangar. Press USE key and go to the exit. Preferably, cyberjump on tubes under the roof of this hangar and then cyberjump on tubes near top of the ladder.

#New Eden (cc_new_eden) Kill Culter in doorway and go into the sewers beneath bar. Kill bartender through ceiling - aim between first and second metal horizontal bars, but closer to first, it is hard to explain. If you can't kill him, use cyberwave implant to see through walls. Run to one of briefcase spawn locations as fast as possible and hope that it will appear under you. Let me remind this:

1. 1st floor, left apartment, in the corner in right room
2. 1st floor, left apartment, in the bathroom
3. 2nd floor, left apartment, under the table in left room
4. 2nd floor, right apartment, in the far right corner in right room
5. 2nd floor, right apartment, left room After taking this briefcase, now you wait. Do whatever you want.

#Temple 2 (cc_temple2) Speak with Rimanah

• 11b11b
• 1b

#Forgotten Center (cc_forgotten) Kill boss through this giant door. Aim a bit higher of middle of brick which is at the left of bandit's head or body - you should have enough damage, headshot is not strictly necessary. If you get unlucky, make another shot. Boss can also be seen with cyberwave implant, just stay close to door. Run to the exit.

#Temple 3 (cc_temple3) Speak with Rimanah

• Bb2b
• 1b

#Electric Sheep (cc_sheep) Take mission from terminal

• Bbb1bb. Turn on cybervision and keep it active until the end of the mission. Create copies in front of the bar so they clear the area. Run to the window where you can see 3 bandits and kill left one closest to you. Go back, on the bridge stand in the corner of left bench, closest to an arc, and take a precise shot to kill bartender Run to the console
• Bbb1 or Bbb2 Go down to the bandit base, use console
• 1 Go to the bandit leader and kill him. Is cybervision still activated? When you leave this collector, there is a chance that metastreums will be bright (unstead of being transparent), allowing you to telefrag them to travel great distance. Plant some bombs and finish that mission.

#Temple 4 (cc_temple4) Speak with Rimanah

• B23b
• 1b

#Monolith (cc_monolith) Use Triangular Gates on Dutch, take bomb and use cloak to prevent annoying damage.

#Noctis Labyrinthus aka Mars (cc_noctis) There is a federal on top of the cliff, telefrag him. Two different scenarios can be seen here:

1. You got stuck. Try to telefrag one of federals in the ruins beneath you. Also, you can wait for Dutch with his comrades but this will take a while.
2. Successful telefrag. Lucky you, jump down and try to telefrag enemies on your way forward. Kill Deus Ex Machina with Triangular Gates. Try to telefrag syncles behind rocks. Go and hack door, speak with Jaghurta

#Fed's ship (cc_shadow) Use Invocation on Cyrus and hope for carnophage to spawn. Kill 5 more federals in giant dark room, 7 federals in other rooms and use console. In general, you kill 12-13 enemies here, others are left to werewolf.

#Final mission with Mentor (cc_severed) Telefrag Mentor. Speak with Drone

• 3. Kill pillars, nothing speacial here (except sick parkour made by you). In chamber with Rimanah you should kill him first because he creates a lot of clones of himself which is annoying. Kill other 2 Culters. Get out of this room, take few steps from the enter and wait for report. Congratulations!
