Excellent illustration of a tasty skip.

Well done gentlemen.

I see you are playing with the ingame music turned off AKheon, a wise choice.

Nice demonstration. Especially liked how the Cyclops Brute landed right next to Kratos with the SoD in hand.

NOTE: That same trick (Right side instead of left and not quite the corner..but along the final tree if I recall right) applies in our first visit to that area allowing us to go straight to the Cerberus Arena..then skip that.

Into the sunset!

Nice find GMG

Thanks. Too bad it activates the battle trigger and your foes STAY alive there even when we return. Though if done well, one could swim past them easily enough..otherwise they need to be fought off...no puzzle so that's a plus.

~It was clearly obsolete the instant the Swimming glitch for the Divine Pools was found

I'm still not sure if the Divine Pools skip can be done on NP. You must not only do a long jump but change direction in air as well.

[BigVEE]

I know it can't be done in NP. Period. Not there. Not like that. If that's the only spot and it really requires circling back you have to use SoD Leaps for that sort of thing (BoO can't turn during it's use)

Neither can really. We need the SoD leap for sure in our case. For mine we need either the SoD or BoO leap. NP typically gets the shaft for such things early on. Pre-SoD, shit is typically weak.

Upgrades being the only real way we can score a little win usually before then.
