I've read through this entire thread and I agree with Jolie, this is an obvious glitch and should be not usable in Glitchless speedruns. I don't understand how using fake invisible ground in the air to give Kratos 2 separate jump could be considered anything other than a glitch.

For those of you who argue that if it exists in God of War 3 it is an intended mechanic are wrong, because the developers didn't realize a mechanic such as this existed in God of War 2. God of War 3 uses nearly the same exact engine as God of War 2, so unknown mechanics are bound to make it into the next game.

If it looks glitchy, it is likely a glitch. In this case, it is obviously a glitch.

My vote is to ban it in both games.

I believe our intentions with the current rulesets were to be more as placeholders until true rules were created. Whichever skips/exploits noted in the OP's original post I agree with. This seems to be more in line with God of War 3's glitchless rules. This will be discussed with the mods, thanks for bring it to our attention.

The discord server is not focused completely on Chains. Its the general God of War speedrunning discord. All of the mods are part of it.

Apologies for seeming heated, I blame my IRL job lol

Can you please provide us a link to where in the leaderboards that this glitched run is in a glitchless category? Also, please join our discord for a much faster response. It's been recommended to you before.

Edit: Please stop blasting us on outside forums about our inactivity when you don't even use our most commonly checked platform (discord) for concerns.

Thanks.

Edit2: Found SerSanju's run, thanks for letting us know, it's been switched to it's correct category.

Apologies for the delay.

Alright I will take care of it.

The loading trigger for the Minotaur wheel area exists near the start of the final rope. It is currently impossible to hit this loading trigger early without Medusa High Jumping. If you had progressed a little farther I could tell if you had hit this loading trigger.

The rule has been changed, and all runs have been fixed to reflect this rule change. Congratulations to those of you who obtained sub 7 hours from the change. I appreciate everyone's input!

This makes sense, the mods and I will discuss making the change.

You can use the warp stations that are directly next to most of the Valkyries. Nifleheim is the only Valkyrie you cannot warp to. So the run starts in a position that favors going to Nifleheim Valkyrie first. We figured it would create a faster overall run.

You can have Muspelheim completed up to the Valkyrie, and you can have any needed equipment to face the Valkyrie in Nifleheim. You should only be warping/killing Valkyries in the run, not much else.

We have a new category for God of War 2018, it consists of killing all of the post game Valkyries in the shortest time possible. Should be a fairly entertaining route to speedrun. See the rules for more details!
