GoW: Ascension - Wheel-Puzzle Revisit Skip (Version 2, Speedrun Strategy - NP)
Skipping the water-wheel puzzle (revisit) for a NP speedrun. This vid also shows a strange effect that happens to Kratos sometimes, when you do an upgrade jump...

...Kratos will go into his idle stance & levitate really high into the air. Sometimes he'll dip downwards before suddenly accelerating upwards really high. More testing needed to find out if this levitation can be incorporated to already exiting techniques (Besides what's shown in the vid).
EDIT: Since doing this vid, I noticed that Kratos rises like that if I spend almost no time in the menu doing the upgrade.
Note: When you do the skip in this vid, the game lets you move Kratos freely off the wheel just as you see him being lowered (every time).
You can use this to get down & start swimming while you are still seeing the wheel being lowered. AKheon mentioned that it's possible to get swimming while being lowered sometimes (under different conditions tho). So I'm assuming that this method would also let you do the same, tho I haven't tested this.
Also, note how the wheel becomes fixed in an instant, as soon as I activate the upper Amulet prompt.
