Prop Fly route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHSiBOyx44s

Lineup: https://imgur.com/a/ggVKfeK

Line up to face around the spike in the first picture. Almost parallel to the plane (slight left of it). Once above the hill, turn slightly left to pass over the rocks shown in the second picture.

Compiled fastest caves route (Sychotix) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsuZGAfCdb4

Uses Tera's alternative clip, contains a backup, and a skip for the flashback until next patch. Explanation of teleport plane clipping (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPGDe787a4Y)

OOB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXdYoZnN8TY

Route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXSAoi6x_8

Grab the pillow, go backwards and hover out of bounds. Line up with this area (https://i.imgur.com/23nQ9PM.jpg), and keep going straight. You should be able to grab the door from above.

Later OOB route (Apjjm): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUzX8FE7g38

Compassless route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/KjDt6nlCCic

ShadowDraft's dream of skipping the compass has come true! New Caves 2 route which clips OoB right at the start, skips the rift, and clips back in. Done perfectly, it is 20 seconds faster.

UPDATE: I loaded the map in debug mode causing my movespeed to be a lot higher than it should be, so I vastly overestimated its timesave. With the actual lower speed, the OoB route saves little to no time. The clip OoB is also pretty hard, so chances are you'll lose time from doing it. This route is now segmented only!

01_04_dark_world_ledge (The Dark World)
Bit scuffed but you get the routing (Ru642) https://youtu.be/ed98S2FN7Hc

Improved TAS/hard route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVeqx6ZQAGo

The above improves the route by clipping out earlier, but you literally can't see the exit. A safer route is to go through the ledge shimmy and THEN prop fly to the end (props are both to left and right... I prefer a rock to the left).

Fast OOB route with minimal prop flying (Apjjm): https://youtu.be/Tw-nklmMG0U

Clip OoB in the beginning (Teravortryx): Darkworld clip: https://youtu.be/IfWJ3d73XuY

It may be more consistent to keep running in about the same direction instead of wiggling your mouse around when doing this clip.

02_01_path_to_outpost (The Desert Path)
Going to the fort skipping flashbacks (Ru642) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byCZoc3Ul1E

It's probably faster to use the square lid to propfly the whole way instead of the rock. You can run while propflying.

Route using wooden plank (apjjm): https://youtu.be/U-vbX_nMS2Y

02_02_courtyard (The Fortress Courtyard)
Courtyard 1 route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUis54tv7Gk

Grab arsenal key, enter living quarters

Courtyard 2 route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdo2kx5NFcY

Jump over ledge instead of going around the right side of the tank, open arsenal door and enter (IMPORTANT: If you enter before the flashback is over you will softlock when exiting Arsenal)

Courtyard 3 route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTTFv2iENh0

Load tank, fire shot. Immediately turn around to exit the tank, and this starts the tank falling sooner. This saves 4-5 seconds compared to not trying to leave.

Non-propfly OOB near the ghost trigger (Apjjm): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT20z0aHLew

No propfly route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/KeSF3wEf1Pw

I need to go forward and hit the trigger which gives me full movespeed, and then backtrack to clip OoB at the start of the map.

03_03_herberts_hq_a (The Tomb of Tin Hinan)
OoB Route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9WT9cdv5KA

Avoid a trigger on your way into the next room. Clip OoB with a pot, and make your way to the end.

Fly route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/w1LI67e-0yU

At the start of the map set up a plate, clip out with a pot, and then clip the plate OoB. Use the plate to fly to the end.

For the fly, you can actually go below the hallway instead of over, since gaining height is finicky with this plate. Going underneath is safer and more stable.

03_04_pillar_room (The Chamber of Pillars)
Route & Backup (Cakeri) https://youtu.be/OaB5iysPW00 Edit: The belly check can be skipped by pressing X before the scripted check

Sandbag route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/0EvG1QSAx-g

NOTE: If you press X for the baby trigger to touch your belly, you skip the whole forced wait/rubbing. Thanks Sy for pointing this out to me.

13 second timesave over the non-sandbag route. This skips the radio completely. You can also push the little dials with the sandbag, but that's a segmented route. Way too sensitive and you can screw it all up.

Pillar Room route ending update (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/3uoczc895eA

Now with 50% more sandbag. 15 second timesave compared to hitting baby trigger but skipping the belly hold.

Route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taZiJOkZQms

"I've literally only done this once"

Route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/Cn8-uUXdFxA

Run with the pylon, clip out, and run to the end on foot. Fast and consistent.

Clip setup (Sychotix, Teravortryx's route): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwpMGnrT40Q

Clipping with the power pylon is awful, but unfortunately we have no nearby props. This tries to make a consistent setup for it.

Slightly alternate route (PrototypeAlpha, based on Teravortryx's route): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JiCiCmCPAQ

Allows you to avoid getting stuck on (or slipping off of) the small pillars that are in Tera's route.

03_07_dwf_b_rnd (The Laboratory)
OOB (Hwilldabeast): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMEaZSVKYU0

Glitchless monster encounter (Hwilldabeast): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1fa6jm5a30

Route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP5HvVMhhnk

Uses Hwilldabeast's glitchless monster encounter strat and clips into rooms. Could potentially be improved if a clip could be found at the start, but I didn't see anything obvious. Maybe a clip completely OOB, then into the pylon room.

Route tutorial (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/zGOT_8Kh6N0

Consistency and time save improvements over the existing route. The new pylon strat saves like 10 seconds over the old one.

Power Pylon clip setup (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPTL38YG-rk

This can be extrapolated to the clip in alchemist lab as well.

03_07_dwf_c_factory (The Factory)
Route (Hwilldabeast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-FG0wK11EY

Pretty much afk map, guaranteed 0.5+ fear by the end of the ride. Run to end, and probably get grabbed and break free from 2nd monster on map. Can attempt baits with thrown objects, but it seems pretty ineffective.

Note: The regular strat is actually faster if you DON'T hide from the monster. You'll fall off immediately.

Cage escape route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/xXhPPXdjRDk

To escape the cage, do a well-timed jump right before the elevator slows down at the top and immediately crouch. Your momentum will give you a nice floaty jump and you can jump over a barrier. Don't start the jump right up against the barrier or else it may eat your jump height.

After riding the cage from the outside, near the end hop down and make your way to the end. As long as you don't get seen by the monster, the cage script will take AGES to run and you'll be able to make it to the door before the script teleports you back.

Based on existing footage, I estimate this to save 1 minute 30 seconds over the regular AFK route.

Consistent setup for Teravortryx's cage skip (Cakeri) https://youtu.be/Z5xcFHlvjF8

Post-cage escape route update (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/-DyHLrnVqhw

Fall off the thing earlier, and use a jiggly rock to fly to the end. I descended pretty late at the end, so you can do it earlier.

Route update to do Factory C extremely optimally (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/1Nd9uJz_AWY

You even get to hang out with some friends along the way! And of course in the end, hit the trigger to load in some textures.

03_07_dwf_d_factory (The Lower Factory)
Route (Hwilldabeast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8qY2WmqEM

Falling down the ladder guarantees 0.3 fear. Getting past the first part is just mantling the terrain on the left after the ladder drop, then just go back a bit to grab a rock and fly away. If you jump during the entire rock propfly section you can make it, I fell in the vid and used the backup.

Route improvement (Hwilldabeast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z16R-2p_PA (Credit to cakeri for finding the pot lid)

Makes use of the pot lid before ladder to save fear, elevator is probably faster than climbing.

Route improvement (Sychotix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jHELyqvei4

Clip out with the lid and bring it through missing collision

Elevator skip route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/4E7FQr7-2g8

Do not prop fly any higher than I did at the end or else your prop will despawn and you will be sad!

03_07_dw_factory_dream (The Apartment)
Nothing special here as well (Ru642) https://youtu.be/0iKM6alGtL0

Fly over a wall (ZOM): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/783209851

Saves like 5-10 seconds of walking.

Fly up and hit the end level trigger (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5b5Seg8hU

Thanks ZOM for the idea... also I hate you :)

Someone will find a good setup for it... maybe

Fly up using rocking horse (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs1c6W23z6w

As long as it doesn't get stuck in any walls, it is pretty okay for this. Problem is, I think that in order to gain height (unless I can grab a different spot) you have to be moving, hich makes it hard AF to figure out where the end trigger is

Super consistent fly up (Teravortryx, based on Sy's horse fly): https://youtu.be/_m4Zz458cwM

The way I'm doing it in the video, it saves like 25 seconds. If you grab the rocking horse from earlier in the level and place it on an earlier pile of rocks, it's pretty much as consistent and that saves more like 30 seconds.

04_01_town (The Town)
Town cutscene skip (Cakeri): https://youtu.be/YXtRTfxNHJY

Walking route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uIIT92vQcY

Walks directly to the end through sand. Definitely faster, and could possibly be used for NMG as there is no prop flying or special things done to get "oob"

04_02_sandstorm (The Mines)
oob route (Ru642) https://youtu.be/lm9uHmzlMvA

OOB Optimization (Sychotix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECT0AAy9bZA

Update Ru642's route to use a different (nicer?) prop for the fly, and skipped unnecessary triggers.

(Sychotix)

Potentially very small, segmented strat. After the first chase cutscene, you can clip through the fence on the right. It skips the 8 second long cutscene and a slight walk around, but you do have to go slightly out of your way to grab a prop, throw it in before the first cutscene, pick it up/clip with it

04_03_undercity (The Tower)
Glitched route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/ei48woeFhxA

Use the lid to prop fly (quick ascend) all the way to the top. For the ascension, scroll all the way in. Press jump periodically. At the end, scroll the object all the way out and then in once or twice. This allows you to run without falling off the prop.

Potential improvements: Jump over the invisible wall down to the center room instead of going through the door. Use a different prop which gives you a quicker ascension.

Glitchless route (Teravortryx): https://youtu.be/wk_Ti7YVDI8

You are able to go through the door to the right of the elevator. You can reach the latch from the seam to the right of the door and unlatch it.

Elevator route (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4svR__8-VE

Credits to BloodThunder for finding the route first. Note, you can put the power plug in on the wrong side by walking to the left side of the bars. This is safer, and potentially equally as fast as the lid prop fly. (small improvement for power cable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K6wEvyBWqw)

Clip + Grate fly (Sychotix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUKYz0O4SvA

Maybe a minute timesave from this new route.

Note: Sometimes when loading into the map, it is very easy to get the grate to clip OoB. However, sometimes when loading in, it is near impossible to clip out the grate. You may experience no success with clipping out the grate, but suddenly it will start working every time again. The clip being impossible seems to be caused by loading the map from the debug menu, but this is still largely a mystery. When getting to this map in a real run, most if not all the time you should be able to get the grate out.

More research is required!
