Guyser Skip: An Outer Wilds Speedrunning Tutorial
153UPDATE: Since making this guide, a couple new alternate setups have been found which I will link below. The setup in this video is still the optimal one for PC.
This is my comprehensive guide on Guyser Skip. We use that spelling in honor of Just Some Guy, who discovered the trick. The setup in this video was created by thestrangepie (me) and Nepo. This setup works on any FOV setting, input device, or platform (to the best of my knowledge). All gameplay in this video was played on PC (1.1.11) by me. I recommend learning the new any% route seen here over the old route, even for beginners, as it is easier to learn and much faster. I have other videos covering the old route, which are at the end of my any% tutorial playlist. The old route (without the 2nd death, and with squat jump) loses 17 seconds in Any%. There are some alternate setups for Guyser Skip linked below. The second of these is faster when using an RNG geyser (which is currently banned but who knows what will happen in the future).
Note: In the video I explain how the 31 second eruption is the first one that can be used for guyser skip. This is the only eruption for which this specific setup will work because the other astral bodies such as the Attlerock affect you with their gravity. Using a different eruption for this trick will require a different setup.
UPDATE: Here is an alternate setup for console which should be more consistent on 30 fps platforms: https://youtu.be/ESqFPknLCng
UPDATE: Here is a completely new setup for the trick which is a little slower but might be easier for some runners: https://youtu.be/VucMFcTUW4E
