Known skips

#Docking Skip

To get earlier movement access after the intro cutscene. Very easy.

* Start your game from the save files menu by pressing the cleared savefile instead of pressing new game on the main menu
* That's literally it

#June Skip

To skip the first introduction to Juniper where she talks to you before opening up the first anchor.
This is pre-run setup. Timer does not have to run yet.

* Start a new file
* Play until the walkietalkie that starts the introduction and press it
* Go to the main menu and reset that save
* Start your timer and your fresh savefile
* The first anchor will now be unlocked without having to answer the walkietalkie
* Endure a constant "hello? hello? hello?" while doing the first anchor

#Respeeder

When doing the Repeater anchor (in an All Anchors run), there's a glitch that makes you run extra fast.
The Repeater puzzles require you to solve each puzzle 3 times, where it automatically rewinds you after the 1st and 2nd solve.
If you let the game rewind you, and press and hold the rewind button yourself right as you hit the starting pole, the game will set your speed to super fast.
Keep holding the rewind button and solve the next part of the puzzle.
In total, there are 6 places where you can achieve this glitch. After every 1st and 2nd solve of all 3 puzzles in this anchor.
If you get the glitch after the 1st solve, keep holding rewind, because you will keep your speed all the way through the 3rd solve.
You can check Boden's WR AA runs for a demo.
Getting this glitch 3 times on the 1st try, it can save about 45 seconds.

#Early Repeater

You can open the door of a Repeater puzzle after the 2nd solve instead of the 3rd.
Sadly, we don't have any info on how to get this glitch consistently. It just happens sometimes.

This can also happen while doing the Respeeder glitch.

#Reload Skips

There's a few places where we can save time by loading in another savefile and loading back the current savefile.

* After completing an anchor, go to the main menu.
* Load another file
* Load your run-file back in
* Instead of pressing Continue, reload the same file again so you can start moving instantly

All the anchors where you can save time by reloading after completion of the last puzzle:
* Intro 3 > Negative 1
* Negative 1 > Negative 2
* Negative 3 > Regular 1 (First walk into the hallway below Negative 3, then reload)
* Regular 1 > Regular 2
* Pairs 1 > Pairs 2
* Pairs 2 > Pairs 3 (First walk into the next room where Pairs 3 is)
* Wrapping 1 > Wrapping 2
* Height 4 > Jigsaw 1 (Only when coming from Wrapping, otherwise you'll spawn at Pairs 3)
* Jigsaw 1 > Jigsaw 1
* Jigsaw 2 > Jigsaw 3
* Multi 1 > Multi 2
* Multi 2 > Multi 3
* Arch 1 > Arch 2
* Screen 1 > Screen 2
* Balance 1 > Balance 2
* Mixing 1 > Mixing 2
* Binary 3 > Airlock (Any% reloads after Juniper says Huh? at the bridge door, All Anchors reloads as soon as you're in the center room
* Glitch > Hueshift
* Colour Wrapping > Impossible Puzzle

# Level-redo

It is possible to redo a level in an anchor, while still progressing the completion level of the anchor.
This means if for example the first level in an anchor is really short, you can redo that level 5 times and the anchor would be complete, therefor completing the anchor in a shorter time.
This is done by resetting a level right before completing it by walking out the door. The timing is somewhat tight, but easy with some practice.
No research has been done yet as for what levels should be redone in what anchors for maximum timesave.
