Tree Skip

From Horizon Speedrun Wiki

General[edit | edit source]

Tree Skip is a skip that takes place during the proving split discovered by everydayaussie on the 6th of August 2021. It involves sliding down a tree to avoid triggering a death plane and as a result, cutting some movement short. It saves around 8 seconds if performed well, and will break even with the normal route if it is failed on the first attempt.

How to Perform[edit | edit source]

In order to perform the Tree Skip, you need to slide down the zipline in the proving (shortly after getting a grazer trophy), and jump onto about the middle of a tree sticking out from the side. As you jump on, pull out a weapon, aim it and shuffle backwards off of the tree. If done correctly, you will not trigger the death plane and be able to make your way towards a checkpoint, after which you can restart from save and progress.
