All Major Skips

There are currently EIGHT known tricks in the game that allow you to skip a fight or task that is intended to be mandatory.

DEADWELL SKIP
It is possible to jump straight to the tower in Deadwell which houses the Forest Key. This skips having to run around the island, pass by a few spiders, drop a ladder, take an elevator, and then climb up to the tower. You still need to grab the Slingshot on your way out, though.

INTRO SKIP
It is possible to jump over the gate in Deadwell. This skips having to complete the five minor tasks given to you by the Flute Player as you enter the city.

BEAR CAVE SKIP
You can jump to the bridge after Bear Cave, instead of fighting your way through the cave in Greenslit. You could always wedge your way past the bear anyway, but this is faster and safer.

TROLLHOLE SKIP
You can skip entering the Trollhole region entirely by jumping straight to its Shield in Greenslit. This a soul gate and major boss, but also skips octopus skating. Everyone loves octopus skating.

FERRYMAN SKIP
You can jump straight to the Ghost Tower in Greenslit. This skips the rocky area with a soul gate and the very slow Ferryman cutscene.

JUMPSCARE SKIP
It is possible, but slower, to skip the Prisoner jumpscare as you re-enter Deadwell from Greenslit. You need to do it twice, which is why it's slower.


NOKKPOND SKIP
You can jump straight from East Nokkpond to North Nokkpond, and unlock the shortcut ladder early. This completely skips the key in West Nokkpond.

UNDERWATER SKIP
You can glitch the game to let you control your character while falling into Nokkpond Underwater, letting you skip most of the level and completely avoid activating the boss that's supposed to stalk you throughout the area. This saves about 2.5 minutes.

PRIMORDIAL DRAGON SKIP
You can skip the third Primordial Abyss boss with a careful jump around the gate.

Misc. Tips

**FALL DAMAGE**
This game has no fall damage. However, you will instantly die if you fall a certain distance. Specifically, the game keeps track of where your last grounded position was, and compares it to your new location upon reaching ground again.

**DIFFICULTY SCALE**
The Difficulty Scale option adjusts the health values of enemies. It must be set to at least 1 for valid speedruns.

**HEALING POTIONS**
Yellow potions heal you. Large potions heal 25, and small potions heal 10. The good doctor in Deadwell will automatically give you the largest potion that will not over-heal you, but it takes a long time, and is not useful in speedruns... unless you're REALLY desperate.
