Comments: This is a segmented run of an alternative faster route I came up with this when I was trying to look for tricks to help star with the D2ALL UV-Speed (the date is today only because I had to extend the intermission screen to make it a better watch :p). I think most interestingly, this route entirely skips the yellow key, which is an area that takes a decent amount of time out of the other run. I guess I will just list out all the tricks this map has across all the runs:

Already known tricks:
- impse glide on the switch at the RL area (used in this run, used in a small alt route I demoed in the previous run)
- glide in the dark area to access a tele that leads to the lift near the chaingunner fight early (used in both runs)
- impse glide on the teleporter to get into the cathedral early (used in both runs, the cathedral section is entirely unskippable)
- glide out of the cathedral (used in both runs)
- jump to ledge around chaingunner section and switch press from the ledge (used in both runs)

New tricks to this route:
- jumps to the secret megasphere at the yellow switch from the other side of it (you can also jump from the other side but it's much more precise)
- rocket jump onto the yellow bars at the chaingunner section before they lower, this always seemed possible to me but I never played around enough with it to get it before
- jump from the chaingunner ledge to the platforming section going back to the main section (used in this run, not sure if I was aware of this back then)

The main reason this route is faster is that while the setup and RL pickup take a bit of time, the chaingunner section is a huge wait sequence that normally takes up a significant bit of the run that the other route forces to be at the end (you can see in my old run, I actually can't even press the switch to open the tele to the final arena as soon as I reach there). By doing it early, you can do a lot of the other shit while that sequence plays out, and in the end, that plus not having to get the YK saves enough time I think to make this faster. Still got nothing for the final area in nomo, though. :p

Anyway, none of what this run does is in any way unreasonable for non-TAS, but the RJ setup for the yellow bars is finnicky, and the jump back from there is also not trivial, so I didn't want to bother with it, heh. I actually did the entire section from the RJ to the teleporter to final area in one go I think, well too bad I wasn't in a real attempt. :^)
