Out Of Bounds for Ether One Redux | PS4

There exists an interesting out of bounds in the Redux version of the game PC | PS4. The trick/Oob/sequence break was posted in 2015 on Speed Demos Archive (a speedrunning website that was pretty active back then) by user Pewable. Here is the video If you are too lazy to go read the description of the video on youtube, here it is, explaining out the oob and clip were performed.

"Too lazy to explain how I found it so I will just explain what is happening at the end. There is no way to clip the ceiling to be next to the crystal, so I had to find another way. When you go to the hub (by pressing Δ when playing on the PS4 controller) then go back to the game, she (the character) will look in front of her and everything will be fine. But if you sit down while in the hub, move your viewpoint around, then go back to the game, she will look where she was looking in the hub. So, I found out that by looking down while sitting down, the fact that you are not looking where you are supposed to + the fact that the game is lagging a lot because of what you are asking it to show you, will make you clip the floor (be careful where you do it or you will be stuck forever). Maybe I am making half of it up, I don't know, but it works. That's it for the explanation. I don't know the game at all so maybe we can use this OOB to go somewhere else, I will try to play the game without glitching it before then take a look again. I am not very happy about the OOB using the tree because it's really easy, but the second glitch... It's a beautiful one, I mean, to sit down to glitch!"

I have tested the OOB myself on PC it works. However, I couldn't get the clip to work at the end. It might be tied to the PS4 version of the game tagging @Stefan78987 (who has the WR for all ribbons on the PS4) because he might be able to test it, or include it in his runs.

So, I couldn't find a way to use that out of bounds do clip back in like in the video. However, I did find a way to hit a cutscene trigger all the way out of bounds in Pinwheel Village. When you load the Devlin Mine level, the in-game end cutscene of that level and its triggers are also rendered even though they are supposed to be inaccessible. There are several ways of getting out of bounds in this level, but the fastest is Pewable's (in the video above) although not the easiest to execute. Copying the normal version of Any% pinwheel harbour skip in its essence, I found another way of going out of bounds in the Harbour, straight after spawning, to go hit the Pinwheel Village trigger and finish the run in 20:38 (16:46 last input).

Here is the run and the new strats:

This should work on PS4 as well, since it's redux

Here is a complete guide with the newest strats. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k8KmXB93RnyqcAyuem4fW1ftr7HlESE4n2IMheZAGC8/edit?usp=sharing

Here is the route in action (featuring the "stupid jump")

France

New strats coming up:

  • Institute keycard skip: ridiculous but should save 2 to 4 seconds depending on execution.
  • Inclusion of All Ribbons Village route with TP exploit.

The current WR for Redux is 16:07. Theoretically sub-16 should be easily achievable.

Will post a video of the new strats and WR once I get a good enough run going. There are no small time saves in speedrunning

EDIT : Here is the new WR for this category 15:44, featuring the new crazy Institute Keycard skip at 1:13
