u/Drakaina-

It is deep underground not quite sure where but there are a few pipes that I can see going in diagonally and a bunch of pillars sticking into the ground along with a few black squares

It is possible to get up to title screen P by going behind and doing the infinite war climb with sword slice, is a bit finicky because there is a tiny little ledge that sticks out but it is easy enough to overcome

Title screen P barely acknowledges you is barely interactable apart from a few physics objects like our goggles, you can walk straight through her you can't hurt her but she will blush if you zoom in with orbire

There's a method that lets you infinite war climb, this trivialises most of the other skips that I found which are slightly harder because they can all be quickly skipped with this new method, some of them more of a pain than others.

You simply wall climb pull your LS back down press X or ◼️ the up on LS A along A or X to jump at the wall (don't know PC) just repeat to infinitely climb, this technique can also be used to safely climb down big obstacles

I have successfully managed to circumnavigate every boss.

This means that a bunch of categories are now possible

The train is the only one I have yet to figure out how to get to the top without it self dying

Because of these categories I will have to say that once you progress a certain distance the game would automatically assume they are dead they don't stay in, so if you haven't killed them yourself or use environmental hazards to kill them it doesn't count, but just in case people want a way to try to get around the train without it dying until you go into the next load zone I don't know away

- Least amount of enemy kills

- No enemy kills

- No Boss is hurt

- Least amount of Boss kills

- No Boss kills

I'll just have to say this one is a pain, not only do you have to walk them into a location where it can be made easier, the thing that you have to climb up is extremely finicky, and if you dont do it quick enough they will unalign and you won't be close enough to make the gap

If you want to know why the music or the HP bar is not playing because I used a shortcut to just get to the boss

How to skip to the boss

Hypothetical skip locations

Pictures showing the boss has been skipped

Because I cannot post videos and pictures at the same time, Im putting it here as well as a bit of an update.

When it comes to the hypothetical skip locations I still havent managed to do any of them, so they are still hypothetical and if they can be pulled off they will be much faster than the current method.

The current method that I have found is still slow, very slow, and would only be good for some speedrun categories, I have said what they are in the second hyperlink but I will just say them here as well.

If such categories were to exist in the future, it would be good for people to know it can be done, these are the speedrun categories on thinking of.

- Least amount of boss kills (a few of them cant be skipped right now)

- No boss kills, If people can find ways to skip the others without chapter skipping

- Least amount of enemies killed

- No enemy killed

It will be good for the speedrunning community to know that this is an option.

At some point I will get around to show how this skip is done unless I see someone beat me to it, I still hope someone is able to find a other method using my hypotheticals, or finds a new location altogether

I will say this first and foremost, it is literally faster to kill the boss, this method is only useful and beneficial if such speed run categories will exist in the future that will be no boss kills, least amount of boss kills, least enemies kills, lease deaths and no deaths, I'm only posting it here showing that it can be done it is 100% possible to skip this boss.

Just going to put it here with all the ones I have managed to skip

- Chapter 1 Boss (Truck)

- Chapter 3 Boss (Robot)

- Chapter 6 Boss (Plow)

- Chapter 7 Boss (Excavator)

- chapter 8 Boss (Train)

I still do not think it is possible to skip

- Chapter 2 Boss (Helicopter)

- Chapter 4 Boss (Crane)

- Chapter 5 Boss (Digger)

Right now all of these locations are hypothetical, I don't know if it is possible to do it, and with how finicky the controls are in general I don't know if it is possible, but I'm still going to share all the locations where I think it is still possible, every single one of these methods will involve you having to wall run into wall climb into wall run respectively, as some of them are really precise

The first picture is just to show you how to get to the second picture

Climb up the wall with the chainsaw present in the first picture to get on top of the location and the second, all of the other locations are on the exact same building that the boss is near, although they all require such a finicky wall jump wall run technique, but I haven't successfully done it I'm just posting these locations here in case someone wants to try to attempt it good luck

I have found another location but I'm testing that first before I post it

I've posted a few times with the areas where it is possible to skip to the boss, and near it that is a location you could climb up but it's still finicky, this is the closest and the easiest location I've got to as of this moment, there are two other climbing locations on this very wall structure to the right, don't have the pictures but one of them is close to the multi pillars and the other one is close to the hanging support concrete slab, but those are just maybe, along with one near the boss

I'm just going to put this here at the top, it would literally be faster to kill the boss at this point, it's only being put here to show that it can be done, in case people want to do runs with least boss kills.

I saw there was a skip in the demo, don't know who originally found it I just know that it was there, where you would wall climb off the fence and the wall close to the barrier that prevents you from going further, in my one it is extended so you can't get on top the fence and sword slash around it, at least it didn't work for me, how I got this one done was by getting on top of them, waiting for the scoop bucket to go high and then swords slashing to the wall with the holes in it getting in one of them, being able to stand on top, this one was so unreliable and unpredictable in which way the boss will go that I didn't really have a recording, but I found out how to make his scoop go up and down when I want at least for me you should see a line in the bucket going across if you jump and sword slash it will activate, at the highest point I just run and sword slash to the gap

This is reference for the location, after loading in to checkpoint 3 and turning around through the door there are pillars the side of you to the left head to them, go to the fifth and six pillar, and wall climb between them, once you got enough height jump off the fifth one, use the sword slash to get on top of the fence to the left or the ground, this will allow you to walk over get on top of the boss, the video is to show it can be done, you need to backtrack and get the leg

This can be done after you have triggered his movement but it's harder you have to land on the canister on his leg then sword slash round to land on the steps

I just wanted to test to see if he can be defeated without cutting his leg because the only way to get to the top of him is to slice his leg as far as I know, so I was thinking if there was a trigger that would detect it as being completed but there wasn't

In chapter 7, you can skip almost the entire thing by jumping over the fence, this allows you to skip everything including the boss

Start from checkpoint 2, immediately behind you you should have a golden crane, climb up the crane to the top, below you you should have a fence, land on the fence and follow it all the way to the right, I land in the bottom right corner just because there is more contact area, falling in will trap you inside, follow the fence all the way around and you will skip a lot of chapter 2, putting you just over the starting point of chapter 3 without needing to climb the tower

I have no idea at all how I achieved it and I've been trying to replicate it, there's a glitch that somehow lets you run really fast but it disables your jump, I'm just putting it here as something that can be done, the only thing I remember doing at the time was messing around with orbie and that is it, if it can be replicated and turned on and off at will it be great for exploration and speed running and whatnot

You can get to the bottom of the map and run to the edge it's quite a big distance, and at the edge will be the same shimmering map barrier that prevents you from going further if the robots are still around

In the second picture is how far away I am from the map itself
