The Bird Portals don't work whilst you are invcinible. I just found a new time saver for Free Fire Zone. Like what you can do in Rupturefarms, you can load the level to where you are in the Stockyards and you can skip waiting for the slog to kill you. I just compared it with qwerku's strats and it seems that mine is faster because you don't need to wait for the slog to kill you.

It's all about timing. Look at my video on a web browser and you'll see some annotations.

How did you get the level to load fully in Paramonia?

Ok. Now I have some real competition!

Yes there is a assignable hotkey to quick save, quick load and restart checkpoint. You can customise it to any key you want.

I managed to skip the first cut scene that lasts for 53 seconds...

I can do it in Paramonia too but it causes problems and it's only a 2 second time difference.

I can now play the PC version without any cutscenes. Like I do in Oddysee and Exoddus, I will be running without cutscenes which will save time in RTA too.

Ok. I have some thoughts on the new run by qwerku. The new boardroom strats looks good but as I play the PC version I still haven't managed to get Abe to jump across to the ledge whilst throwing the bottle cap. Maybe a slow motion video should show us where exactly you need to throw the bottle cap. I feel like the long way round to complete the this level is the safest and consistent way to do it but only if the bottle cap jump was more consistent I won't be using that trick in my run unless I can do it.

What I do now before attempting is I load a quicksave from file 1 and every time I do Paramonian Nests on that file I can skip Scrabania even though I done Paramonia first when I 100% the PC version. So when I start over on a second file, I can skip Scrabania multiple times after multiple attempts getting far to that stage.

I have already got a sub 30 min. 29:44 in-game time now. I am so close to getting a run through without any mess-ups! I think my next best run should hopefully be it!

I did a run today with the Scrabania skip and got 38:03 RTA and 31 mins in game! It was a pretty good decent run for the glitches category.

I got that in Paramonia too! It's getting more like Abe's Oddyse was back in 2013 when we could only skip one stage!

Wow! How do you get the DDG in Paramonian Nests? I need all the help I need in order for me to do a good run.

We'll just call it any% and have an any% glitchless category as well.

I'm gonna start streaming now to practise those new strats. Thanks RTS Marty! It's gonna make my run a lot easier! This should be the low% now.

That's good. I think it's worth the try starting the glitch with Free fire zone, but for consistancy starting from Zulag 2 is the best way to go.

Here is my video showing Zulag 2 all the way to the end!

Nice find on the DDG. I guess we can call it DDG for now. It works on the Mac version too but I do get weird graphical glitches on the Mac version after exiting the game going back to the main menu. I can get to the boardroom from Zulag 4, I'll make a video about the glitch sometime today!

Update: I can go all the way from Zulag 2 to Boardroom with this glitch!

When I checked my Oddysee any% run on the SDA queue a few days ago, my timing was 10:28. I was like, WTF? How come they have changed my time? The staff came back to me and they said that SDA timing is WITHOUT LOADS. So I'm going to change the leaderboard to show timings without loads. Feel free to put them in if you have a time without loads.

This is my attempt at the new Scrabania strat!
