Alright, this is super small, but I gotta ask just in case.
I jump over various counters in the game. Mr Hippo Magnet counter to avoid Chica if needed, El Chip’s for Monty Fizzy Faz, Prize counter left entrance counter to avoid Monty, VIP front desk to avoid Roxy or sometimes climbing onto tables.
Some could be considered “hiding locations” or just ways to get the animatronics off your scent. Others just ways to shed a few seconds off as opposed to walking around the counter.
Are these considered skips or are they still applicable routes?
I discovered a strat during the DJMM section. If you pull all 3 levers and go to the final hallway, you’d normally pull the final lever and trigger the chase. However, if you don’t pull that final lever and instead play Princess Quest II and complete it, the game considers the final lever pulled and makes it so you don’t need to do the actual chase. But, you do still need to run the length of the hall after like you’d be doing the chase. So is the time skipped from this strat enough to make it banned from the category?
Do missable story items such as Monty’s Claws, extra security badges, Faz-Cam, and FazerBlaster count as unlockables?
I know the category counts gift boxes, message bags, and retro CDs. But do story items in gift boxes, like the Mystery Mix, need to be collected too? What about map items like the claws and blaster?
I’ve seen so many other runners use a particular method of bunny hopping to save stamina, however I have never been able to recreate it. Can someone post a detailed method on how the bunny hop is used?
During my stream, I found out Maude can deliver food herself. There should be an Only Maude category where you must hide Sam, and then prep and deliver all food with Maude only.
Within the list of the "All Endings" category, I was able to identify every ending except for one. Could someone explain what the "Dismissed" ending is?
Ever since I updated to 1.06, if I drop from the vent for Freddy to catch me, my entire PC will freeze up and I’ll have to restart it. Has this occurrence happened to anyone else?
Can anyone make a definitive list of all things that could be considered a skip?
I need to know everything since dropping off the daycare theater balcony was apparently considered a skip. I thought it was just an extra path that could be taken, but it seems not. It would be nice having a list of everything you can’t do so it can be avoided for future runs.
Within the rules, it says no skips or glitches are allowed whatsoever. However, is the early Chica Fizzy Faz part considered a skip/glitch?
I don’t believe it is personally. Since the first ticket booth has an invisible wall that keeps you from getting in, yet the second booth doesn’t, it feels as though Steel Wool intended for players to be able to get in early if they desire.
But, I need confirmation on this before I try any runs within that category.
I looked at the category types and there doesn't seem to be one that doesnt allow any glitches or exploits. Each category has something where someone could get out of bounds, skip a major story beat, bypass cutscenes, or go somewhere the devs didn't intend. Would it be possible to get a full glitchless category?
