the artifact
the timing was from the start of the game to getting it (https://youtu.be/fIeKU3i6m4s?si=tBRgJCvHbfRJle7u ) here the run if you want to see. here ill be showing some of the strategies to save massive time and headaches.
clip spot 1
hole to out of bounds
for the ore near mary-ann memorial park, enter as normal and turn around to the clip spot and use geo traveler to clip (the clip can be finicky, so keep trying) .then, navigate out of bounds to the waterway with the ore(lines up roughly with the river on the surface) and swim up from underneath to get back in bounds.
clip spot 2
clip through the right wall from previous image
this clip is very finicky and will be used twice
go directly backwards after climbing up
drop down here and glide
climb left around this rock after gliding
here is the second use to skip unfinished comedy/game of the rich
go wide to avoid meropide and go down and back up
clip spot 2 is very important as it skips the 2 most major quests(road to singularity, game of the rich/unfinished comedy)
clip spot 3-1
clip spot 3-2
go due west to reach forge
to access the forge after getting all ores, go west after clip spot 3 and swim under and up to get in.
anything not mentioned was done "as normal"(thorny cyst is obnoxious to complete so early)
