Do you even Zip, Bro?

[Pinhead Larry]

So I'm in my fourth playthrough and this Time I wanted to do all the Quests possible.
But before that, I wanted to gear up. This also meant, that I had to get to the Mountaintop early for some Items and Bellbearings.
Since certain events in the Game, as far as I understand, trigger some quests to fail though, I could and would not simply go ahead and walz through stuff.

Thats how I found myself the following Video:

This Guide I already used once and it worked, after Hours of trying the first Zip. Since the weather is rainy/foggy in the Video I cant make out precicely where to aim when attempting to Zip.

And since it took me an eternety in my first attempt, I tried to use the Zip-Macro for AHK, which works fairly consistent, but I dont Zip far enough. I guess. Or it's just that my aim is off.

Since this didnt work for me, I tried the flying Mount glitch, which I guess was Patched because I am either still mounted after logging back in or dismounted.



My question now is: Does anybody have a better solution to skip to Altus Plateau and/or a better Picture for Zip reference?

I always warp to the capital city and crumbling farum first. It's so good for leveling up and upgrade. I would go there before defeating Godrick.

So with wrongwarping to in front of the castle i can basically wrongwarp to every beginning of every area in the game? As long as I am in said area?

I mean, if youre already going for OP items right at the start, wouldn't a NG+ fit that purpose? Im asking for curious reasons, not trying to insinuate anything.

I wanted to do it on a fresh character. thus no ng+.

Ah I see... Makes sense. I want to start a new toon with spells, but I dont want to simply pick my melee one in NG+ and just respecc. I actually want to go through the whole process again, so it makes sense to me.

Finally I got the first Zip to Work, facing on the Compass a little off from North to the West, just like in the Video. I used AutoHotKey with following Code:
Send, {RButton down}
Send, {LAlt Down}
AccurateTimer(133*1000/60) ; 133 to 135 frames
Send, {w down}
AccurateTimer(4.5*1000/60) ; 4 to 6 frames
Send, {w up}
AccurateTimer(11*1000/60) ; 133 to 135 frames 133
Send, {w down}
AccurateTimer(2.5*1000/60) ; 3 to 6 frames 5// 133 work 4, 4.5, 5.4
Send, {w up}
AccurateTimer(30*1000/60) ; not critical
Send, {LAlt Up}
Send, {RButton up}

I didnt end up where he ends up, I ended up at a Stake of Marika at the entrance to the Capital!
Hope this helps.
