God of War - CoA shield puzzle skip (NUR)
95This video just shows a way to skip the first part of Challenge of Atlas even in No Upgrade-conditions.
It's not a very fun skip and it can easily go wrong at multiple different points, but as far as I know, it's the best skip we got for this purpose for now.
Notes:
- it's necessary to be really fast during the skip to minimize the chance of the Gorgons freezing Kratos. But even at its fastest, this skip will have some RNG from the Gorgons.
- the high jump needs a fairly precise timing and location for Kratos to be able to grab the ledge. Using PR (if available) will make it trivial, though.
- after climbing up, if you go to the left, the wall there is a bit shoddy and can be jumped / fallen through. This is another pretty precise point during the skip.
- there's a checkpoint that can be hit near the shield on the 2nd floor. If you hit it, doing the wall breach becomes much less stressful since retrying after that won't waste almost any time.
- you land inside saw room, and will still have to complete that part normally to continue.
- this isn't faster than the current way any% method for dealing with the shield puzzle. It's just an alternative method to use in a different category / conditions, or whatnot.
0:27 - here's a blooper. Apparently it's possible to get into the shields room so fast that the loading trigger for the saw room doesn't exist yet.
