(Old) Any% Basic Skips and Tricks

-UPDATE 1/15/2020: This is outdated, but I may repurpose these notes for a category that doesn't allow Stairway to Heaven wave skips. -

This is a slightly updated notes doc that I used for my first run. Will update formatting and possibly add more detailed descriptions later.

New Any% route notes (STH)

zarvot speedrun tricks/out of bounds/wave skips:
-you can jump off your barrier (x+y) to skip the trigger for almost every wave of enemies, as well as many cutscenes and also allows for certain out of bounds. necessary height varies. this is called Stairway to Heaven (abbreviated STH). 
-single jump + barrier -> stand on barrier = one STH. STHx3 = do this three times. all STH tricks generally assume you double jump off the final barrier

chapter 1:
-intro: fight. miniboss can be easily cornered
-bedroom: present skip (jump through the present and then interact with the door to skip picking up the present)
-section 2: jump over door to stairwell to skip a flight of stairs
-section 2: STHx3 first wave
-section 3: jump off wall text to skip mustard cutscene, go in door
-section 5: skip jar cutscene #1 (VINGS)
chapter 2:
-section 1: STH to go over the happun forest sign (through jar) then go up right to the level transition
