A complete Any% route

# Level: Starting Cave
Right after hitting "New Game" you have to initiate the starting dialog (you got only a minimal amount of time to press "E" (or whatever your Use-button is). Mash through the dialog and sprint out the exit.

# Level: Beach
Now you have to be very fast (really, really fast).

1. You skip the Basketball minigame by jumping on 2 stones to the right after the level is loaded, then jump onto the backboard and over another stone right next to the bridge. You skipped the minigame.

2. Now you can choose which way to go, the right way is safer, while the left one might be a little bit faster. Either way you have to avoid the dialog trigger (which roughly ranges from the animal to a little further than the pedestal) and activate (aka. use) the pedestal to safely maneuver across the river.

3. Through the passage you sprint along the right wall to get to a wall which you can climb up

(the red part marks the area you can jump up). Run against the wall and after you cannot run further you jump, wait a short moment and then spam jumping to get on the upper floor.

4. Now you jump on the bridge. If you were fast enough on all the skips and cut corners everywhere, you are able to get the earliest cycle and jump to the end of the level.

(Early cicle takes roughly 33-34 seconds IGT from starting in the cave, the next cycle costs you around 3-4 seconds)

# Level: Earth/Energy (?)
You spawn looking at a bridge. In this level you need to collect 2 energies to advance in further levels.

## Energy 1

1. The first energy is located on the right of the level, so you can choose how to get to the right part of the level (up until now, no testing was done which path is the fastest).

2. After a loading screen you face a spiral way to the top. You sprint up this path until it splits into a dead end and a bridge. Near the dead end there are 3 stones which you have to climb up and then move along the wall (you can also jump to gain more height). You will reach a slope and you can run up the slope.

3. When you cannot keep on running, you fall onto a bridge decorated with stones and run the small path to an altar. A little change in the floors colour is a neat indicator of the trigger for getting energy 1.

4. Now you run back, but to avoid the dialogue you jump onto the stones right next to the triangle guy and jump over the dialogue trigger, all the way back to the main area of the level.

## Energy 2

1. To get to the second energy you run along the right wall, over 2 small creeks and into the left area of the level

2. Run to the jumppad you just activated by collecting the first energy and jump while standing on it. During the animation you hold Forward, Left/Right and Shift. When you boost into the air, you line yourself up to get to the small passage leading to the second altar.

3. The trigger is almost at the end of the small passage, so after activating you turn around to face the probably most inconsistent skip in the run. https://i.imgur.com/M013VZR.jpg Shortly after (like 0.1 seconds) you reach the (in the picture red lined) point you have to jump on the right side of the triangle guy to avoid the dialogue. It can still happen that the dialogue somehow triggered, so better expect a dialogue.

4. Now you run back to the main area, again run along the right wall to get on the bridge. You activate the pedestal in the middle and jump from there onto the opening gate to save a few seconds.

# Level: Ice
Once you arrive in the ice level you can already see your objectives: the gate and the corresponding pedestal in the middle of the room. Here you can take two ways:

## The fast way
1. You sprint to the left of the room where 2 wooden platforms are (also you then are on a small hill). You basically hold onto the left wall.

2. You run to the two platforms, right before leaving the hill you jump into the pale of the second platform and continue jumping. If you did this right you jump onto the platform.

3. Now you use the dashpad on the other platform right next to you and activate the pedestal, sprinting into the now open gate. (You may jump right before you pass the gate because the is a possibility of softlocking if you don't jump)

## The slow way
1. You sprint to the right of the room, between the right wall and a stone, under a platform and to a jumppad.

2. Use the jumppad, hold diagonally and shift to get all momentum to pass right around the stone pillar (the wall from 1.). If you want, you can get a small slideboost of the pillar and land onto a platform with a dashpad. Do **not** use the dashpad

3. You jump over the gap to the pedestal, activate it and sprint to the exit. Jump at the end to avoid a possible softlock

# Level: Volcano
Once you arrived in the vulcano you temporarily follow the intended route.

1. First you use the dashpad in front of you to get to the first platform, then use the dashpad on this platform to get to the first skip of this level

2. Wallride: You go back to the lava along the right wall (choose always the right wall), run on the wall until it bends. Jump, turn a bit to get onto the next wall. Here you can jump and run. When it bends again you may jump. Now you need to slide, so do not jump, simply slide to the emerging stones right at the second platform (not the four stones placed vertically).

3. Now you need to get around the platform to get to a jumppad. Here you can choose between climbing up the tall rock to your left or jumping/sliding around it. (climbing requires standing right at the edge of the rock and the platform, otherwise you cannot climb up)

4. If you get to the jumppad, use it to get on the platform, use the dashpad and wait ~ 10-12 seconds because "cutscene".

# Finish
Once you fligh out of the volcano move diagonally while holding shift in the direction of the water. Ideally you aim for two stones which are placed prominently to the right.
Then you run diagonally until you reach another 2 stone combination, at that point you have to walk straight facing the Island infront of you to activate the end sequence trigger.
This trigger is position and camera dependent. So to activate it as early as possible you have to face the Island.

Congratulations! You've finished your run.
