Credits Warp has been achieved in console, this is the new meta for Any% on Eternal Darkness. This beats my last 1:04:55 pb by quite a lot (https://youtu.be/BNNBQAa6-FQ). I'm not sure if I'll do a better attempt of this with this route.

We decided to time until the last meaningful input, which gives this run a time of 28:18

Here's some timestamps highlighting the important parts of the run:
0:40 - Run starts
1:33 - Go to the clock Examine prompt, we'll need that later to recover Pause after CS
5:00 - Do a CS into Gateway to Destiny in order to get to level 13 (Pious fight)
22:27 - From here we can do a Credits Warp, but we need to avoid a crash caused from not choosing an Ancient yet. We can do this be doing CS into Epilogue three times
26:43 - Here's the second successful CS into Epilogue
28:21 - Last succesful CS into Epilogue, this one triggers the last cutscene of the game without an Ancient, followed by the game credits after the save screen
30:32 - Some aftermath commentary

The CS into Gateway to Destiny has a completely random change of giving a crash. If you're lucky, you'll have a window to skip the cutscene that doesn't crash, this window could randomly be between ~10 frames and 3 seconds (as far as we have found), or there could be just no window at all. After surviving the Gateway to Destiny crash, the rest of the "run" is completely safe, you just gotta get 3 more frame perfect tricks.

If you want to know more about the main glitch used in this category, Cutscene Storage (CS), you can read the explanation I posted on this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/e6luj7/eternal_darkness_sanitys_requiem_any_cutscene/f9seug4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

If you want a shorter explanation, it's a frame perfect glitch that allows you to do warps and skip chapters, at the price of watching a 30 second cutscene every try (+ some seconds of menu scrolling sometimes). It is also the reason why Any% is splitted into two sub categories.
