What is NFT? NFT stands for "No Fall Timer", and is a glitch that allows Cal to fall any distance without voiding out (unless he hits a void plane). This allows for several small skips over the course of a run, but creates the opportunity for numerous softlocks if you fall in the wrong place.

NFT can be activated by performing Lenino's tutorial climb skip, then running through Coruscant until you reach the area after the first balance beam. Once there, you can void out, which respawns Cal at the beginning of the tutorial climb. From there, finish the climb "correctly". Normally, upon completion of the tutorial climb, the game will save. If the above actions are performed, the game will NOT save, and from that point, the "fall timer," or the game function that causes Cal to void out upon falling a certain distance, will be disabled. This gamestate will persist until quit out.

This bounty is canceled due to permanent NFT no longer being a part of the theoretical optimal route. I will be making some amendments and announce a new bounty within the next few days.
