Another terrain clipping glitch
5 years ago

Hi, i'm not really a speedrunner but i found another way to clip through the terrain than using the mobile vehicle bay, and i thought maybe this would help ! the problem is i don't know if it works for other people cause i don't have a really good PC to test it so maybe it's only because of my low framerate, i don't know...

This is how i do it: underwater, use the seaglide to run into a wall and at the exact moment your head hits the wall, look away fast and stop moving. if everything went good, you should be out of bounds. I don't really know why this is and if there are other "rules" for it, but with what i've tried so far i found that: this works best in safe shallows and kelp forest biomes, and at the looking away part the glitch only succeded when i moved my mouse horizontally. Also i don't know if this glitch works on a flat surface but i almost always nailed it when using cliffs or cave walls to do the trick.

it's only a suggestion and i don't really know the speedrun community, so i'm sorry if i'm bothering you... but maybe this will help !

Hi there, Mhyrra! Leo and I are talking right now and he's testing it - he says it sounds like Ceiling Skip, which doesn't work with Super Seaglide. If it does, though, we have a brand new OOB available!

Edit: Leo can't seem to get it to work with or without SSG. It seems this might be a FPS specific trick!

To be clear, you're going against the wall of a cave, correct?

Hey, yes i'm going against the wall of a cave or some kind of mountain, the idea is that you find a vertical surface, you swim with the seaglide towards it and at the exact moment when you touch the surface you look away as fast as you can. it can take some tries but it does work particularly well in the safe shallows or in the kelp forests

(it's very kind but i don't have discord for the moment hehe)
