So I was teaching a new runner the game and he accidentally discovered a new fight skip in highrise. The fetch and weed fight at the top of the elevator auto scroller can be skipped by disjointing a save into their arena and from there you can proceed to do the elevator glitch as usual to prevent the soft lock at spine. I will get video up in the next day or so.

Here is the setup: I'll spend tonight testing how this affects the other parts of the run.

So the game can handle an open terminal and level up simultaneously. I now finally have an excuse to choose rain or snow mid run :D
