Description
Guardian skips are a series of glitches allowing you to get past the Guardians in SB_D03 before reaching max karma. There are many ways to do this, listed below:
-
Creature skip: By diverting the guardians attention to another creature, slugcat is able to make it past the guardians without facing lethal telekinesis.
-
Swallow skip: Swallowing a creature near the guardians will cause the guardians to path towards the creature allowing extra time before slugcat is focused on and telekinesis is used, increasing the chances of being able to enter the shortcut.
-
Flarebomb skip: By blinding each guardian, slugcat is free to enter the shortcut and leave SB_D03 for a short time.
-
Batspear skip: Batspearing each guardian and bringing it out of SB_D03 leaves slugcat free to enter the shortcut and leave SB_D03.
-
Rock skip: By brute forcing past the guardian’s telekinesis with item momentum boosting before being lethally attacked, slugcat can make it to the shortcut and out of SB_D03.
-
Bomb skip: By killing both guardians with a singularity bomb, slugcat is free to enter the shortcut and leave SB_D03.
-
Stab skip: Guardians have 10 million hp, though this can be depleted with spears, leaving slugcat free to enter the shortcut and leave SB_D03.
-
Spitter Spider skip: With remix disabled, Spitter Spiders can stun guardians and when both are stunned simultaneously, slugcat is free to enter the shortcut and leave SB_D03.
-
Despawn skip: On Rain World versions pre-1.9, leaving SB_B03 before SB_D03 is in the process of loading in will cause the guardians to despawn.
-
Eggboost skip: Using the repulsive force of an exploding singularity bomb, slugcat can make it past the guardians without them noticing, though getting to the shortcut and leaving SB_D03 is difficult.
-
??? skip: Waiting ~621 days will not allow slugcat to take fall damage, making it impossible for the guardians to kill slugcat and theoretically allowing passage out of SB_D03.
