Any% (BiTE)

Note that this alternative Any% route is roughly 40s slower than the optimal Any% route with Gorge Void.

If you are not consistent with Gorge Void, this route probably is the better alternative.

Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2 and 3 as all files are used during the run.

It is helpful to watch a reference run when learning, as this route document can only go into so much detail. The top runs on the leaderboard use the optimal route, but these older runs follow this route:
