Fast Eclipse Base Escape

General

The Fast Eclipse Base Escape (FEBE) is a skip that saves around 8 seconds in the Eclipse Base discovered by everydayaussie. It was originally theorised on the 22nd of May, 2021. However, the method used at the time involved getting a quest from Odd Grata, which was not fast enough to save time. As such, the skip was discarded for the time being.

Later, on the 8th of August 2021, everydayaussie would post an updated version, where you would get the Luck of the Hunt quest rather than using Odd Grata, which meant that the skip was actually faster. Unfortunately, the skip isn't used in runs due to requiring an extremely difficult jump over the ravine during the escape section of the Eclipse Base.

How To Perform

In order to perform the FEBE, you will need to have your save file set up with 3 boar skins and an unlooted Scavenger Dark Box with a boar skin inside. Now you can start your run. Once you reach Mother's Crown, talk to the questgiver of the Luck of the Hunt, and head along with your run. When you reach the Eclipse Base, complete it until you get to the escape section. Now jump across the ravine as shown in the video (updated faster version), and jump over the gate to get to the rappel point. After getting down, collect the boar skin in your Scavenger Dark Box and restart from save. Now continue the run as normal by fast travelling to Zero Dawn.

Note that it is not recommended to actually use this skip due to its sheer difficulty and small timesave.
