How I completed Horizon Forbidden West in Under 3 minutes!

I want to give a big shoutout to Oruga who came up with the initial strategy and Idea for this speedrun. I would link to his YouTube or other socials but he does not have those :) Infinite Jumps and the Far Zenith Skip has been patched with patch 1.21 on PS5. This was the patch that came a long with the Burning Shores DLC. The patch was exclusive to PS5 so this does still work on PS4, but will be slower due to load times. I personally dont care much for this run being patched tbh. Since it was more of a fun run to showcase rather than something that would be fun to do in the long run like the regular full game speedruns. I am just happy I got to show it here and save the history of it before it got patched. Another Update: A new method to do the Far Zenith Skip has been found. The setup is slower but still works the same.

When I’m playing Forbidden West I’m always stopping & admiring the scenery & stars. I couldn’t see myself rushing this game tbh. Cool strat tho!!

Incredible. It never fails to amaze me just how smart and creative speedrunners are! Well done, man! Very enjoyable to watch :)

This is always so fun to watch Elk.

This was a fun video to watch. You articulate the steps very well. I haven’t been able to catch your streams lately as I’m usually at work but I try to catch up with the vods when I can 😊

A-mazing! Great video as usual 👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽

This does counts as NG+ any% which is a very niche speedrun category in itself. Cool video!

Thank you as this was very clever and very enjoyable to watch.

yesterday, I read a novel in under 3 minutes by reading the last paragraph. Hurrah. Worth it.

I have enjoyed IJG so much! I figured out that you can infinite jump glitch up the walls in the final boss fight with Tilda and then stand on the orange awnings overlooking the fight. You can still hit the boss with your blast sling. I've had a lot of fun breaking encounters by confusing the scripts on the boss or machine with IJG.

legit or not, it is still amazing and shows how you mastered all the aspects of the game... we know you. we know that you are capable of achieving the speedrun of this game with or without glitch so, you have my respect.

It was cool to see all the fighting on the base from an aerial view they put a lot of effort into that scene

Masterfully done, I'd call it a glitched full game speed run.

Thank you so much 💙🌼

Had to get that in before the DLC launches in case IJs get patched, huh? ;) Anyway, fun video! Amazing what weird and interesting stuff the Arena/IJ combo makes possible.

Great Job Elk! RIP Lance.

Nice❤good job

What a great idea.

For those who wonder: you can still use the glitch after downloading the dlc pre-launch.

fascinating
