Cutscene Skip via Console

**Tl;dr: Install german keyboard pack via Windows, switch to it. Press ` key in Hell Pie to open console. Type **p skipallsequences** to skip cutscenes until you close the game.**

Starting on the 9/2/2022 patch (v1.1.3.202209011619), a console command was added that skips almost all cutscenes. For the sake of promoting people to do more runs by not wasting as much time on the long cutscenes, this console command is allowed.

To open the console, you will first need to be on a German keyboard pack, which is very easy to do.

1.  In the Start Menu, search for "Language" and open the "Edit language and keyboard options".

2. In the window that appears, click "Add language". In this window, search "German" and click the one called "English (Germany)". Then click Install at the bottom.

3. On the next window, you can uncheck the checkboxes if you want, they're not needed. Then click install.

4. The German keyboard is now installed, but you're still set to your existing default keyboard. To swap to the German keyboard, look for a new icon in the bottom right in your taskbar for which keyboard you have active (likely ENG icon if English). Click on it and it'll show your normal keyboard and the German keyboard. Click on either one to swap between them. Alternatively, to quickly swap, press the Windows key + Spacebar to switch between them.)

5. With the German keyboard active, on the Hell Pie main menu, press the ` key on your keyboard (above the Tab key, to the left of the 1 key), and it should open the in-game console. With the console open, type in:

**p skipallsequences**

And hit enter. For the rest of this game session, almost all in-game cutscenes will be skipped. You can now swap back to your normal keyboard (Windows key + Spacebar to quickly swap.) If you close the game, you'll need to re-enter the console command.

6. You're all set! Anytime you start the game in the future, all you'll need to do is step 4 and 5 (swap to the German keyboard, press the ` key, type in **p skipallsequences**, then swap back to normal keyboard.)

Do note that this is slightly buggy; Restaurant in particular will behave weirdly. You'll need to rotate a pipe after putting in the valve to "kick start" the feed.

Downpatch Tutorial

This will allow you to downpatch to the unpatched version of the game.

Full YouTube tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc-WUNPE4YA

Download the "Hell Pie Downpatcher" in the Resources tab, then extract it. (Or download the DepotDowloader below.)

DepotDownloader: https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader

Extract the folder, then go in the folder and make a text file. Open it and put in this:

[quote]dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 889910 -depot 889911 -manifest 4410902106600693677 -username YOURSTEAMUSERNAME -password YOURSTEAMPASSWORD[/quote]

Replace YOURSTEAMUSERNAME and YOURSTEAMPASSWORD with your Steam username and password. Then save the file and change the filetype to a .bat file. Then, double click on that .bat file to run the script.

When the black cmd prompt screen appears, it will attempt to login with your credentials and ask for a 2FA code if you have one set up. Type in the code and press enter, then it should start downloading the files. The files will be saved in depotdownloader-2.4.6\depots\889911\9231075

You can then create a shortcut to the .exe on your desktop, or within Steam itself by clicking the "Add a non-Steam game to your library" menu option. 

The game will have all your save files and settings from your main game.

General Speedrunning Tricks & Tips

Backswing Wallclipping: ESSENTIAL if running any%18ing+/2ing  Back Swing through walls+barriers such as Pus Eye wall/IT Ending and beginning walls/Rave Out of Bounds from start/Sewers back in bounds/Elevator door skips (allow you to avoid opening door cutscenes for any%/2ing. Check Some Shadowthepast 18ing any% runs or join the discord for reference.

Multi-Dashing:  to perform either precisely time or mash the dash button. Doesnt need to be mashed.

https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousShakingHareTBTacoLeft-s8z6Wixqx0u2M5w5

Bounce boost. If you input TWO Jumps as you are sent up by any launching platforms/boxes/etc you will gain a massive amount of height. 

Swing boost: essential skill to master. Requires 2 cans. Learn to time your boost presses and swing releases to get more speed. A generally fast movement method is double jump, dash, swing boost

Exit skipping. Pause and return to hub to avoid using an exit (note for routing some exits are better to take like Club Luxuria) make sure the cherub in the bottom right of your screen is done flying to register the item pick up (YOU CAN WAIT WHILE PAUSED use the loadskipper so you don't gain time). This saves alot of time in the whale and some other levels.

Saving your double jump: when traversing it is good to try and use you swings and dashes before using your double jump to allow yourself more control.

Swing refreshing. Touch a lip or small surface to get your jumps and swings back. Youd be surprised how many surfaces you can land on to refresh.

Horn boost swing. When swinging hit your boost horns in between swings to gain significant speed and distance.

Cutscene skips. If you download the load remover through "resources" you can save time by save and exiting to menu during the cutscene after the first room and many others. Including ingredient cutscenes and chef cutscenes.

Easy dark room. Use high gamma in settings to easily see the dark room. Also default horn ability works

Glitchy Nugget / Nugget Wallclip Tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_FP4JTsmEU

Tutorial on how to do the glitchy nugget / nugget wallclip trick.

Requirements:
1. Level with the in-ground checkpoints you crawl out of (NOT the teleporters)
2. An unclaimed upgrade can
3. Nugget

To do the wallclip in Supermarket specifically:
1. Get to the 3rd checkpoint (right after getting Nugget)
2. Dash in front of the can, pause before claiming the can, then respawn at checkpoint. (Doesn't need to be a dash, but that's easiest)
3. Nugget is now glitchy. The further away from the checkpoint you get, the glitchier he gets.
4. Get far enough away from the checkpoint so that Nugget's movement is fast enough to clip you through the wall.
5. Face away from the wall you want to clip through. (If you don't face away, you'll likely just wall-slide against the wall). 
6. As Nugget starts moving up and towards the wall, double jump and grapple, and nugget should drag you through the wall.
