I was a bit disappointed when I noticed that you need to get the elevator working to be able to trigger the next level, as well as it isn't possible to skip the orb-pieces, that would've been a very nice time saver. The videos you've posted Apjjm are very interesting You've been trying the stuffs I've been trying out as well :p I'm currently in Nave on my way to Transept for the remaining orb-pieces. It isn't very optimized but I wanted to do a new one with the new glitches. I'm happy you like my run ! I've actually started a new run this weekend for fun (which will be completed when I have the time for it). I haven't browsed these forums in a while, but I noticed that I had some embedded views from here and decided to check it out You can use the save trick with boxes in both the refinery (Skipping the trapdoor puzzle to save 10-20 seconds) and the study (so you don't have to wait for the window to become breakable and then do the jumping stuff). Youtube seems to have made the video darker. Video (Starts with the lift area, which sadly doesn't work - but then goes onto all the storage stuff): It also appears you can also make some objects float by dropping them on your head whilst crouching, and then repeatedly jumping whilst trapped underneath. With these new tricks it may be possible to speed up the first areas even more (I.e: not having to navigate out of bounds, and just saving through the 'wall' that requires the acid). You can then collect the rods, perform another save-boost back out of bounds - and some rather tricky wall-climbing segments later (especially the last two!), you have successfully skipped everything in the storage area, and are safe with skipping the first area. Infact, you then have to force/deform an object through a wall using some rather violent mouse movements, which you can then use to save-boost you back inside. However, that still isn't quite enough to get the machine rods! As you not only have to navigate out of bounds (which isn't that bad, as the game rather kindly lets you fly up certain walls by hammering jump), but you also have to get back in bounds (although it is possible to grab items through walls, you can't get to where the machine rods thanks to an extended ceiling and lack of floor). After a bit of experimenting it turns out you can save whilst inside objects, to push you out the map. After wasting some time looking for areas to use more object-jump-crouch tricks to go out of bounds I saw the above video - which gave a few new ideas to try.

It didn't have some kind of trigger i could fire underneath or above the lift. but sadly the game didn't want to be broken that badly. If you can't get past the rocks in the storage you can't get the machine rods for the lift. If you don't have that, you can't get past the rocks in the storage. You see, skipping the acid means you don't get the pot which can hold the explosive chemical (you get a different pot after the acid). I decided to play through the game using the currently known tricks & skips - but came across a little problem. If you come across a monster, your only option is to run. The catch? You have absolutely no way to defend yourself.

If we could figure out how to get into the refinery without using the acid, a decent amount of time could be saved right at the beginning of the game. However, I am attempting to do the same in the main hall area - but it seems to be more difficult. At the beginning of the game you can skip getting the lantern by jumping up the fallen rocks until you get outside the map, however this would cost time. For example, I've been trying to find a way into the refinery early, which would eliminate the need to collect the acid. Now, the physics in this game can obviously be exploited, and currently I'm trying to find more tricks that could potentially save time. Doing this should eliminate the need to enter the machine room at all, saving a decent amount of time. However, by utilizing a jump shown in this video: (at about 2:15). When you are in the cistern and need to drain the sewer, normally you need to drain it, go to the machine room to fix the other bridge, and then go to the Morgue. Now, my question is, what are people's thoughts on speedrunning his game? The game is pretty straightforward, however currently I know of one glitch that could be used to skip a certain puzzle.
