Death Code and Zombie Hover (ZH) info doc

Here's a doc condensing everything I know of the Death Code and Zombie Hover, since they are used in speedruns quite often but did not really have anything to centralise all the information about them out there. In hopes this helps someone sometime somewhere I guess.

Hybrid's New Game Plus Any% Guide

Guide can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xF7T5qt_sB4Z0wj21NLouXnx7cwWiGKcsUOk9sa3f5M

Everything should be up to date for the current world record for NG+ Any% on Normal (although Easy is pretty much the same strategy for everything). If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know. Comments are enabled in the guide so you can use that for feedback.

Normal Mode DLC Notes/Guide

Wrote up some quick notes/guide for menus/fight strats in DLC runs! I should make a guide on general movement stuff but that would take a lot more time and I feel like it is easier to explain by just watching movement in actual runs. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the Discord server!

XC2 NG Normal 100% DLC route

Here is a link to the current hundo route spreadsheet, written by LightningLeon and myself:

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gI9LUdC09oh43siGl0sSoStHzH1k5ZOpbFPil34HpGM/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gI9LUdC09oh43siGl0sSoStHzH1k5ZOpbFPil34HpGM/edit?usp=sharing "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gI9LUdC09oh43siGl0sSoStHzH1k5ZOpbFPil34HpGM/edit?usp=sharing")

EDIT Jan 27th, 2024: The spreadsheets here are only for 100% NG, meaning runs that would stay on a NG file until the end. There are currently (as of the time of writing anyway) efforts underway by other runners to route a 100% "NG to NG+" route, in which you'd start from a NG file but would go to NG+ with that file and then complete the run there, if you're interested in that.

And here is a link to a first draft of the hundo route, written by me in a Google Docs format from which the current route is a Google Sheets rework, for legacy and in case it's also useful to someone someday:

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HmndElnJEgESHpC106F6xMQd2TpdHoINrtI6z6R3m8M/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HmndElnJEgESHpC106F6xMQd2TpdHoINrtI6z6R3m8M/edit?usp=sharing)

Feel free to let me know, in case you ever read any of these two docs, if errors were made or such, don't hesitate to either tell me on the Discord or via a suggestion on the docs.

Feel free to copy to your own google docs. There is an item checklist and a bearing her soul Fan calculator included.

Xenoblade 2 route | any% | NG | No DLC

The guide is fairly up to date with current no DLC strats. Highly recommended to read these alongside watching a run as well. Need to add in the rest of the fights at some time but between this and watching a few runs you should be able to get the general idea of the run.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 any% Speedrun Route by BOWIEtheHERO

Please follow this link for my notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15ICiZN9ai7b-pWO0C8kKJDfZY0hFTezBwUqlpU-Z4ZM/edit?usp=sharing

This is outdated, but a perfectly fine starting point to learn the run easily, without too much pressure, if you wanted to start chilled before picking up newer stuff

If you have any questions, let me know. I'll be updating as much as I can, as I go.
It's rough, but the route is there.

Happy running Ladles and Gentlespoons.
