I Am Alive (PC) - small late game shortcuts
7Nothing too amazing, just some more small things that seem like they could be improvements to the current any% run.
0:00 - in Chapter 12 you can save a few seconds by using the ledge trick to drop on the railing and from there to the other roof.
0:12 - in Chapter 19 you have many small drops in a row that you can use the ledge trick with. Should save a second per use, at least.
0:29 - you can avoid climbing down the wall in the same area by doing a ledge trick towards the shimmy below. This seems like it should kill the main character because the fall is so big, but it doesn't. Should be useful if you have extra health to spare.
0:45 - when you're climbing out of the first building, there's a leap / long jump opportunity on the pipes that isn't used in the any% run.
1:05 - at the end of the level you can keep dropping down the ladder instead of climbing down. This costs life, but should be 10 seconds faster than doing it normally.
1:31 - to note, it looks like you won't get damage after the fade out at the end of a level begins.
(Not on the video: I tried different ways to drop down to the level exit from far above, but sadly it seems you can't trigger the level exit if you're about to die from the height.)
