Bodyguards skip optimization
5 years ago

I found another way of getting over the barricade in bodyguards that is slightly easier and faster than the former way. Just hold right and forward while sliding along the barrier, and you will bump up on top of the barrier.

this looks lol, I'm gonna try that

.. yeah it is really weird, but thankfully it's consistent, and you can also have it by running into the barricade, pushing against it, strafing a bit left, and then jumping at the precise spot the rise can occur

.. plus it seems you can do it on every instance of this concrete block in the game. I haven't found it useful in the first Kashyyyk chapter, but I'm looking in the other ones

.. ...and of course there's no more of them in the later game. So the only practical use is the one you shown. I hate to think that there may be a bump somewhere that would help the run but we'd never find it untill each bit of geometry has been tested for hours

I do it just by running against it and wiggling the mouse right and left at the place where the bump occurs, and it usually happens in a second or two.

I initially found it by accident after failing the normal jump. I'm not sure how many more places would be greatly advantaged by a bump, at least he kind we've seen. Superbumps aren't really practical in nonsegmented runs and these upwards bumps are more rare and I can't think of many places offhand that block you way like these barricades that we don't already have ways around. Unless we find a bump that allows you to scale things much taller...
