@talldie Yup, yeah, the current strats for achieving those skips are way more refined than when I first discovered how to do them at all in the first place.

Basically all of the new, recent runs on the leaderboard today demonstrate the skips more elegantly executed than in my old video.

^_^

@ThirstyWraith I go by Charlotte these days, but yeah, that's me. Hiya :]

@Strife re: "sneak skip": yeah, I do it a few times in the YouTube video I posted above. Check out how I skip meeting a fight AND meeting the Water Dragon at 22:00. I also skip fighting some ghosts 28 minutes in. The trick is to barely touch the edge of a fight-area such that enemies are spawned, but we don't go into "battle mode." Hence, you can skip the fight and any cutscenes "attached" to it.

Only tested on Xbox, no idea if it works with the Special Edition on PC.

Perhaps I should also take this time to mention that I actually HAVE been able to go out of bounds on Xbox. I swear to God. I think I'll start another thread regarding that. SOMEWHERE I have actual video footage of it, just not sure where :(

Overall, I do believe this game is breakable. I think we just need to consolidate everything that we know

Hey there, I'm the runner formerly known as 'ninetigerr' on Speed Demos Archive and on Twitch. I hardly get to play video games anymore, heh....

The "Forest Fox skip" referred to above, I think I might have been the original author of that.

There definitely are opportunities for glitches and the like, because I definitely found some. There are several opportunities for the "sneak skip" tactic that I discovered.

I should probably submit my sub-2:30 (Xbox) on here, shouldn't I?

And I even started a blog for when I tear this game apart, hehe https://jadeempirehacking.tumblr.com/
