God of War III - Hades swimming advances

Pointers:

I: A fast, simple way to set up swimming glitch on NG+.

II: You ought to skip Hephaestus cutscene for a 3-minute time save. The Forge looks abandoned... In a pure NG+ speedrun, you actually won't see the character Hephaestus once during the entire game.

III: Turning the crank is necessary to make the Realm of Hades load. However, you don't have to turn it all the way because you are swimming.

IV: Skipping the cutscene in which you are shown the glowing Hades-Olympia portal is recommended. Not only does this save a small bit of time by itself, later on...

V: In a speedrun, you'll need to end swimmingness here. Fortunately it's possible thanks to this climbing wall. For some reason skipping the Athena cutscene before entering the portal seemed harder than usual, this needs more testing.

VI: If you skipped the other cutscene I mentioned earlier, Kratos will fall into nothingness for a while and then break out of the 'coming out of portal'-cutscene. More time save!

VII: This break-out tendency allows you to actually bring swimmingness into Olympia without Kratos getting stuck on his tracks (though this still happens if you allow Gaia to quake the ground).

VIII: There's some strange garbage floating in the distance at Olympia area. Unfortunately it's nothing we can put to use. The areas beyond aren't loaded until Gaia is dealt with, so swimmingness doesn't have much hope after all.

EXCUSE ME, BUT I'M NEW. WHAT IS NG+ AND WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD IT?

Thanks for your answers!

@KRATOSGODOFWAR97

NG+ is the term for New Game+. It is a glitch that allows you to start the game with all weapons. Unfortunately the glitch has been patched as of late.

(continuing)

So, step by step with buttons. X, X for double jump. Quickly (with Whip active) L1+square. At top height (with Bow active) L2. Then right analog to do a dash.

(note that this doesn't describe the continuing dashing movement, also called Jet Dash).

@SelaluImiEn

The jump I do at the beginning of the video is pretty simple. Do a double jump, and at the start of the second jump (as quickly as possible) do a Severe Judgment (Nemesis Whip's L1+square). You just have to be quick in doing Severe Judgment after the second jump.

Quickly press L2 with Bow active at the top of the jump to be able to do dash at maximum height.

It's pretty hard because of the camera angle. I couldn't do it consistently last time I tried, and I didn't have time to find a route that'd always work. Once you get close enough to the Forge, if everything loaded properly, you start hearing the banging of Hephaestus's hammer, maybe that helps. Also, there are other ways to do this glitch which might allow a better camera angle. For example, check out 05:40 of this vid:
