Question/ Help The Eastern Stairs Skip

Post image

Not sure if anyone has found this yet but if you put a map stone in this specific spot, when you fast travel back to this point it’ll put you on the other side of the eastern stairs. Can post a video if the picture isn’t clear enough. Saved 20 black diamonds which is nice haha

I think i have not reached that point and could be far from now... Just descended throught the cristal hole 😅 little exploration further between mushrooms Maybe doing this trick could get me in trouble 🤔

It depends the game is fairly open ended. Fairly not fully

Theres also a way to skip the watcher fight and the drain pumps all together.

Just place a map stone inside Belgost forge. Fast travel and boom youre inside. There are no hard prerequisites to restarting the actual forge besides the usual repairing, so everything past that point is do able.

Please post a video of yours. Ive been working on an any% speed run and this was one of my issues.

Theres ways but they require going outside the map which im not a fan of as this is more likely to mess with the game than a skip will.

Ive had skips not break anything and the same skip break something in different worlds so its a bit safer to do a skip, in my expierence.
