Since PSN is a fantastic version, there isn't that many changes. So most of the route is the exact same BCPS3/PS2 uses. If its not specified what you need to do, follow the BCPS3/PS2 route.
A splitset for this route can be found in the resource section with and without subsplits.
Here are the route changes and differences you need to know/learn to run 100% on PSN.
#General Differences
• You can't load to skip cutscenes on the PSN version. For the longer cutscenes we can exit to hideout to skip them. This does not work for intro or boss cutscenes. • You can't load then get the key. You will end up without the key and all of the progress you have done since the last autosave will be lost. • When you open the menu while the game is autosaving (% showing) you have to wait until the game is done autosaving before you can do anything like exit level or view map. Be aware that you can still press start and x, so be careful not to unpause the game. • If the menu is open you cannot press select to enter the map, you need to press the view map button instead. • Proxies does not work at all, so all proxies are routed around.
#Hub 1 - Tide of Terror
A Stealthy Approach You can't do the sign proxy, so you will have to run into the cutscene, wait for the cutscene to start then pause and exit to hideout. Then re-enter A Stealthy Approach.
Major Routing Change You can't skip the cutscene infront of the barrel in A Cunning Disguise by loading so we are gonna skip it with style.
Here are the route you want to follow:
- Enter the cutscene in A Cunning Disguise and when the cutscene starts playing you want to view map to the center of the hub.
- Go left to Into the Machine, get the key and vault like normal and exit the level.
- Go to High Class Heist and get the key and vault like normal, but when you open the vault you want to view map to A Cunning Disguise.
- In A Cunning Disguise you need to get the key and the vault. • First you want to get the key. Use the "old strats" to get to the key area. When you are at the key area you want to collect the three bottles to the right and get the key. Do the pause strat when you hit the key frame then load the game. • Now get all of the bottles, open the vault, exit the level, jump down and open the generator.
- Go to Gunboat Graveyard using pipe jump, collect all the bottles, open the vault and exit the level.
- Go to the cannon and do the super jump chain and defeat Sir Raleigh. When you get the pause/final hit on him you want to view map to The Hideout
Video of A Cunning Disguise "old strats":
#Hub 2 - Sunset Snake Eyes
-On A Rocky Start you view map to the center of the hub. When the bridge cutscene starts you want to exit to hideout. Then re-enter the center of the hub.
-Don't do Boneyard Casino MTS, delay that to the split "World 2 100%"
Muggshot's Turf You can't do the Muggshot Proxy, so you need to use the keys to unlock the car and ram it into the enterence. You can use the car catapult to get up on the roof. If you have 44 coins or less leaving Boneyard Casino, you can do the car catapult and do Straight to the Top first. Otherwise do Two to Tango after entering part two of the hub.
Here is a video of slysonic26 doing the catapult:
Two to Tango You can't do "Date Skip" to skip the cutscene. Since we don't have any way to avoid it, we have to watch the cutscene.
Straight to the Top You can't do the box proxy so you will have to focus a bit on coins. Don't have more then 44 coins entering the level.
When you get to the vault you want to open it and load the game. Then do the super jump strat to get the key. Before getting the key you want to have around 98-99 coins so you can get a charm in the MTS. If you have enough coins you load the game and do the MTS with the super jump strat.
If you don't have a charm entering the level you can get one on the far right in the second part of the level after you crash down with the tower.
Muggshot Before entering this level you need a charm, you will get one or more in Two to Tango, but worse case scenario get one in Back Alley Heist.
The most optimal way to finish Muggshot is to pause when you get the % after hitting the final mirror. Then view map to Two to Tango MTS. Even if you don't go for the pause strat you want to run off the ledge as you're hitting the final mirror. This will avoid starting the cutscene and you will spawn in the beginning of the level. Though, if you have a charm you can't run off the ledge and still skip the cutscene. In this case, get rid of the charm in the first or second phase of the fight.
Video with the pause strat:
When doing the World 2 100% split World 2 100% (without muggshot pause strat) -A Rocky Start MTS (Down) -Back Alley Heist MTS (Left -> UP) -Two To Tango MTS (Up -> Right) -Boneyard Casino MTS (Right -> UP) -Murray's Big Gamble (Run to it) -View Map to The Hideout
World 2 100% (with muggshot pause strat) -Two To Tango MTS (Right) -A Rocky Start MTS (Down) -Back Alley Heist (Left -> UP) -Boneyard Casino (Right -> UP) -Murray's Big Gamble (Run to it) -View Map to The Hideout
A Cunning Disguised (MTS) You can't do the A Cunning Disguise proxy, so you will have to do it with old strats.
Video with the old strats:
Treasure in the Depths (KEY) When you enter this level you want to press exit level when sly touches the ocean floor and the cutscene starts, then walk back in the level. This will skip the cutscene.
When doing the World 1 100% split World 1 100% -A Stealthy Approach MTS (Down) -The Fire Down Below MTS (Right) -High Class Heist MTS (Up) -Into the Machine MTS (Left) -A Cunning Disguise MTS (Left -> Left) -The Gunboat Graveyard Key -> Load -> MTS (Left -> Left -> Left) -Walk to Treasure in the Depths Key -View Map to The Hideout
#Hub 3 - Vicious Voodoo
Dread Swamp Path After you have gotten the key with 19 bottles and left the level you want to instantly turn back and walk into the level. On PSN you don't initiate the cutscene upon leaving the level, so we can walk back in, open the vault and do the MTS without losing much time. So when you open the vault you load the game and do the MTS. When you leave the level after the MTS you load and continue the route like normal.
#Hub 4 - Fire in the Sky
The Unseen Foe When you get the pause on the key frame and the % pops up, you want to view map to the center of the hub. If you get the "god pause" where you pause before you hit the key frame and theres no % you want to exit level.
Do the MTS after Panda King.
Flaming Temple of Flame When you get the 10th bottle you can do a few different strats that save time compared to going back up the intended route. This is how much time they take to do:
-Getting the bottle and then take damage with a charm : ~12 seconds -Getting the bottles and then dying (Need atleast two lifes): ~18 seconds -Getting the bottles and walking back using the intended route: ~27 seconds
Video of all three strats performed (timed links in description):
Rapid Fire Assault You can't do the "spinning proxy" on PSN so you will have to do the level the intended way.
In the end of the level you can hardlock the console. To drastically decrease the chance of hardlocking you want to kill all the snowball monkeys in the final part of the level and then shoot the key tower from the left side.
Here is a video on how to complete the level safely:
Panda King When you get the pause/final hit on Panda King you want to view map to The Unseen Foe and do the MTS. Beware that the proxy does not work here so you will have to do the old strats (jumping over the gap to the guard booth).
#Hub 5 - The Cold Heart of Hate
A Daring Rescue To skip the cutscene you want to view map to either Burning Rubber (Left on DPad) or A Hazardous Path (Down on DPad) when the cutscene starts. Then go back into the level by pressing select. Using the exit to hideout button will start a dialog with Bentley in the hideout.
