General[edit | edit source]

The Smack% Tearblast Skip is a now obselete skip for the Smack% category extension found by everydayaussie on the 4th of September, 2020 that takes place within Greycatch. It uses the blasting effect of tearblast arrows to skip the 2nd tunnel. It has since been replaced with the Tearblast Skip Skip found by Fleur_Bleue101.

How To Perform[edit | edit source]

In order to use the Tearblast Skip, you must first enter the Greycatch ruin during the Waterlogged side-quest. You will then have to head through the first tunnel, spin the first sluice gate, and head over to the 2nd drop-down ladder. Now, instead of heading into the intended direction of the tunnel, you turn back towards where you came from. Jump back over the gap by landing on some metal parts sticking out on the left, and set up near the left corner of the platform you are now on. Fire 2 or 3 tearblast arrows at the corner, wait a split second, then sprint and jump over the arrows right as they are blowing up. You will now be launched to the other side.

From here, make the next jump by landing on some scrap sticking out, and run towards to second sluice gate. Turn back once you trigger the necessary dialogue and continue the quest.
