God of War 2 - Speed Record (Part 7 of 9 - Fates' Palace to Underground)

Speed Record, part 7 of 9.

Notes:
1. Decided to go through the gate before the Translator normally. I think its quicker than IJ'ing over it after all.

2. When you get the Ram Key - Its slightly quicker (ever so slight) to just high jump and glide over the door than to open it.

3. At the Spiked Trap - Its quicker to kill the enemies that fall from the ceiling with CR. That way they die while still in the air out of shot (if you use AQ, you have to wait for them to hit the ground before killing them, waiting for them to hit the ground wastes time). While they die, I use Typhons bane to kill the ones at the other side of the hall, that way I save time having to go back and forth killing enemies, more efficient.

4. At garden of the gods - If you break stone door and then trigger Athena's cutscene, the door cutscene cancels out the Athena cutscene. So basically you save time by only having to see one of the cutscenes.

5. Skip at the Siren Sacrifice - Great skip I was looking forward to, (you skip the Siren Sacrifice, Ice room puzzle, Harpies nest and others). After doing that very high IJ over the invisible collision, I paused the game momentarily (thus stopping the clock for a while) To let the hammer load properly. Again, I cut out the "length" of the pause. The length doesnt make any difference to the final game time.

6. At the Skull door - Im not sure if this skip is known, there is a ledge and a platform above the skull door. You skip having to open the door, you skip the cutscene for the vent puzzle. And from that platform you can highjump/glide to the lever area and then its an easy IJ up to the chest and grapple roof.

7. At the elevator with the crank - I didnt need to lower it all the way to the bottom, could have saved some vital seconds.

why don't you jump at 6:03 ?

[findlestick]

@animeboy322 Because there is a high invisible wall there. A year after this run, I found a much quicker way to do this skip.

nice vid

[findlestick]

Thx!

2. Ah, that's a pretty nice time save. (So, you do have to physically pick up the Ram Key for the game to know you have it? Just to make sure..)

4. Another new thing.

6. Ah, I see. Nice job for finding this too.

[findlestick]

2. Im pretty sure Ive tried skipping getting the ram key, without sucess. But Ill revisit that to eliminate all doubt.

4. Having to watch 2 cutscenes back to back really annoyed me. So I wondered what the game would do if I broke the door with TB as I crossed the trigger.

6. I was really happy with this, wasnt sure if it was known.

Translator was HAX. I love seeing the fight raped like that

MAX CR and Titan Storm, nice.

Garden of the Gods, tidy with the cutscene skipping.

I didn't know about the ledge before the Auditorium of Atrops, very nice.

Great improves on skip at the Siren Sacrifice. Another good idea!
