Use this thread for noting shortcuts you've found.

If you want to share images like I did, upload them through steam, then grab the image link. It'll auto make that preview image like mine have.

From this vent you can land here, on the lamp. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974437

and then follow up by jumping from the lamp to the upper platform here.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974514

Walking up the far angle brace, and then jumping to the closer one will let you cross over this blue block, skipping half of the stuff at this elevation.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974586

Jumping onto the lamp lets you skip this jungle gym entirely
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974613

The first third of the 230 meter jungle gym can be skipped by jumping directly from the ground at the shore there to the lamp.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974800

Doing a 180 airstrafe from on top of this lamp will let you grab the ladder, skipping a bit of dangerous navigation.

At this crossroads, take the route I'm looking at. The other one seems to be a kinda useless and significantly harder platforming challenge.

270M jungle gym:

You can save a lot of ladder platforming by taking the following route:
Stand on the first 2 rungs, then
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974903

Jump grab the ones around the corner
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974953

Jump grab around the same corner again to grab this higher one
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974982

Turn the corner here and jump grab the higher rungs at the second pillar in this picture
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975005

Proceed normally from here, on the outside edge to go from the pillar closest in this image to the final rung of this gauntlet at the leftmost of this image
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975021

and THE SECOND BIGGEST SKIP I'VE FOUND SO FAR:

At the quadruple bounce pad section just after completing the above, airstrafe from the third bouncer around the far end of the arch, to grab the ladder rungs in the image, skipping all of the rest of the 270M jungle gym
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975097

Don't bother risking a sketchy ceiling blocked jump, just go from the inside of the arch to the rung below the hardhat sign.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975124

For the repeated bouncepad section here, strafe AROUND the sign and land on the platform behind it to save needing to do a BUNCH of sketchy high risk platforming.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975207

That said, to complete the shortcut you need to jump to this fence post and walk on top of the fence to the platform, which is a high risk easyish jump, but at least its only 1 high risk jump instead of 15 or so.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975306

Use sneak to sidle on the ledge-side of the wall behind the camera in this picture, and you can jump from there onto this fence post, saving you all of the high risk platforming of the unpainted concrete behind it
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975351

You can jump from this vent directly to the fence post where the climbing spikes are which is a safe, but kinda fiddly jump.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956975538

Ignore the sign's instruction, just jump on the lamp, then on the fence post, then climb the rungs. Skips a lot for how easy it is.

As for the single biggest skip I've found so far....

I guess just watch.


hold sprint and movement keys into the wall, and spam jump for a bit. then, without ever letting go of sprint, run forward and jump off the ice. Look up the slope.

Oh my god that ice boost skip is insane!

If you thought that was silly, here's another weird piece of tech I discovered while doing skip J (the second biggest skip I've found)

https://youtu.be/KmsyEiC2caA

If you bounce off a pad while holding sprint and jump, then grab a ladder without having your feet ever touch the ground, reaching the top of the ladder will treat that ground as a trampoline, giving you a phantom bounce.

I call it bounce storage.

It's usefulness is... dubious at best.

Me and my friend soh beat the game and have been looking around a ton for skips, everything included we found ourselves except for the ice boost skip which you found. Video is low effort, just flying through the linear parts of the map and showing off actually doing skips when I get to them but it gets the point across if you already know the map. This isnt everything but what we got for now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFzfyC2mSeQ

[Sufferschaft]

I totally underestimated how quickly people would find all of these. That last video is like 99% of the ones I know of.
Incredible work!

I put together what was not in PIE's video.

Oh ♥♥♥♥ these are good, only one im questionable on is the jump from the ice neo area that skips the ceiling nails. The nails only take around 10 seconds and the ladder boost after saves a ton of time

[未だ知らない場所へ行こう]

ladder boost?
this place? I think you can reach it without it.🤔

oh wow didnt even try that lol,
guess you're right then

[Mu The Slime]

Y'all,

I have discovered something incredible.

So you know how you slide down any platforms that are, oh, 60 to 80 degree angles?

That's not true for "platforms" that are 89.2 degrees.

You, a fool: duhhh, I will climb up this pit by jumping between vents and ladders huhhh.

Me, an Intellectual:

[Mu The Slime]

Looking for more places that have an ever so slightly slanted wall like that as we speak.

Update:
I can't find a single other place where you can do this. Dang.

[Mu The Slime]

Made a compilation video of the 5 useful iceboost skips I've found so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3iNEYtQAik

Added up these end up skipping a LOT of the final stretch of the game.
