Whoa, an actual skip! Unfortunately, it's a pretty pathetic one as it only skips one single enemy. But it also has a cool side effect afterwards, so maybe that evens it out.

This was played on the unpatched version. If the trick stops working some day, it may have been patched out.

0:00 - climb up the climbing wall. After reaching the top, immediately take a sharp turn left to become checkpointed a little to the left of the climbing wall. Retry.

0:18 - after retry, continue up the path. But make sure to go from the left to avoid a trigger in front of a climbing wall that would spawn an enemy.

0:24 - Normally there should be an enemy around the corner and Atreus is startled by it. But because of the skip, there's no one there, and poor Atreus is scared for no good reason.

Since this trick only skips one fairly weak enemy, the time save is pretty negligible. It might be worth it if you haven't upgraded skills yet or are playing on a harder mode, but otherwise... probably not. But hey, it's still technically a skip!

0:37 - if you first do this skip, then backtrack to hit the enemy spawning trigger near the climbing wall, the enemy will spawn without A.I. and completely invincible. He's just squatting harmlessly and can be pushed around the area.

However, know that doing this makes the game "unwinnable" in a sense since you can't activate any prompts while this glitched enemy is around and you can't get rid of it any way... other than retrying, of course.

1:58 - just for fun I tried to create a makeshift acute angle by pushing the enemy into a niche. Kratos sunk a little bit inside the wall when I rolled against the enemy like this, but not enough to breach through. It was worth a try...
