Make a bind to (bindtoggle {key} "sv_coda_mode". This is the key to turn narration on and off. Don't bind any keys to 1, 2 or 3 Make a key for "save quick", one for "reload", and if you want one for "save quick; load quick"

Whisper - Turn dialogue off immediately after the map load up. After you step into the beam you can save/load and are able to step out and b hop over the level. This does not save or lose time but is a fun little trick. Backwards - Turn your dialogue back on if it isn't already. Doing a Save/load at the beginning gives you full WASD movement for the rest of the level. Entering - Do a speed wall strafe to gain speed. Stairs - Once you start to get slowed down on the stairs, saving and loading will reset your velocity until you hit the next trigger. (The final "slowed down" velocity is about 3.32) Puzzle - Turn dialogue off at the very beginning of the level. This skips Davey showing you the "rest" of the level (I know, it is the best part of the level) Exiting - More speed wall strafing! Down - Turn dialogue back on. Do downskip and make a save beforehand because with IGT reloading for downskip still saves time. Notes - DON'T READ ALL THE NOTES! Prison - The order for the third prison is the table, then the picture, then the lamp, then the couch, then the shelf, then back to start. Other than that just be optimal about any b hops you have to do House - Ok, the only thing you have to learn is the order: Table, Bed, Rug, Sofa, Spill, Dishes, Tub, Books, Table, Rug, Tub, Books, and Sofa. Lecture - DO NOT SAVE/LOAD IN LECTURE! IT WILL SOFTLOCK YOUR GAME! Start mashing as soon as you gain control of the teacher. Theater - Get to the stage as fast as possible and hit the trigger to start the cut scene. Use the bumper closet to the stage curtain to get a boost after the narrator of the play says "Try stepping backstage" Mobius - Don't actually close your eyes while playing this level. OpieOP Island - Make sure you are always mashing before the white text prompting you to choose pops up. When you get to the door the button press order is 2, 1, 3. Then just more mashing and b hop to the prison/cage as fast as possible. Machine - Pretty much just the casual with small b hop optimizations. Tower - Once again, just b hop fast and be optimal. You don't have to wait for Davey to give you the code, it is always 151617. Try to be as optimal about inputting those numbers as possible (see wr for reference). Epilogue - We did it! We made it to the final chapter! For the first epilogue map, make sure you go over the fountain, not around. For the second map, try to keep your speed from the steep slope into the ramp going upwards, and try to stay moving until you fall into the hole.

I will hopefully be adding a video guide soon but until then good luck with your Beginner's Guide speedrunning experience!
