God of War: Ascension - skip some boring climbing at Ribs of Apollo + glitches
Using a long jump, you can skip the roughly 30 seconds long climb in this area. I show two variations - the first is easier, hitting the grapple point after which you break down the wall to the next area. Second is harder, hitting the climbing wall itself at the next area.
On this vid I used the Shield discard jump because, well, I like it. It also works especially well in this place since you get some extra momentum for your glitched air time from the grapple point. And since you get a new Shield from the next fight already, losing it wouldn't be too big a deal... However, at least the first variation is also possible with normal Shield jump too, albeit trickier, and that's probably preferred in a speedrun.
With upgrade jump I wager you could skip a little more than this, but those upgrades are quite precious and you'd probably want to save them for something a little more useful.
Then, some glitches. The grapple point of the second area is hypersensitive and will deliver Kratos back down the cliff if you R1 near it. Also, if you do this skip but land inside the breakable wall, the game will utterly softlock.
