Editing Lone Echo Speedrunning Guide (section)

=== Kronos II ===

==== Control Room/Start area ====
This section is quite straightforward. Make sure you are in optimal position for each dialogue/story queue, and complete the tutorials as quickly as you can.

The first tutorial can be easily completed quicker by keeping one hand in a fist and the other with the index finger pointing. The disc can be thrown quicker by throwing in an arc.

Once that tutorial completes go through the motions of the game, there’s not a lot of time to save here. Make sure you are in position for the day-cycle button press, and talk to Liv and tell her to hurry up. Make sure you are looking at the anomaly as quickly as you can, and then head straight to the holo table. After the scanner tutorial, Liv is essentially on a cycle/cutscene, so you’re going to have to wait for her in your start room until she shows up and you can talk to her.

==== On-Ship Repairs ====
(Beginning of this section remains untested, need to see if it's necessary to clip through door or if it's equally fast to just wait on Liv) 

As you wait for Liv to begin each repair, make sure you are throwing cargo over to the cargo bay so when you get to that part you are already nearly done. 

===== 1. Oxygen Garden =====

Go ahead and do the tutorial and cut your way through the panel normally. Identify the panel for Liv and then fly to the power control. You will do each panel from Left to Right,starting with the flow control pump, then O2 controls and ending with the power transformer

The flow control pump can be done without ever cutting the bolts, by sticking your hand through and grabbing it blindly.

Next the O2 controls. They can be done easily by using the exact formation in the picture to the right. Make sure you don’t forget to turn the bottom knob all the way to the right

The power transformer can be completed easily and normally. After this, go straight to Liv and wait for her to tell you to pull the switch

===== 2. Core Containment =====
Now you have to wait on Liv for another minute or so. While waiting, make sure you continue plugging cargo in. 

Once Liv is done talking open the core containment door just enough to fit your head through, and then close it immediately. Now you'll do the Radiation tutorial. Make sure to position yourself in front of the numpad console before the tutorial, you will always teleport back where you were once the tutorial is over. 

The radiation tutorial can be completed extremely fast. Pull out your scanner and just scan the radiated area over and over until the lock handle finally comes down. Then, Xeno across the right wall as quickly as you can, pull the conduit, and voila. You've done a speedy radiation tutorial. I'm proud of you. 

You can do all of these numpad sections BEFORE Liv ever gives you the numbers. As soon as you're back in the core containment immediately type <code>5826</code> into the numpad, and then fly up to the TOP RIGHTHAND core. Scan the core repeatedly until Liv says she is going to open the IO port. Scan the port the moment it opens, and then identify the radiated core (RNG as far as we can tell). As soon as the core is identified fly down and type in <code>6102</code>, fly back grab it and dispose of it. 

Rinse and repeat this process for the middle core on the lefthand side, except this time type in <code>7641</code>. 

As soon as you pull the handle to get rid of the core, fly back to the numpad and immediately type in <code>5826</code>. Wait for Liv to tell you to manual shutdown yourself and then voila, the section is over.

===== 3. Cargo Bay =====
So at this point the cargo bay section should already be nearly completed once you get to it. Make sure all the cargo is already in place, and then wait for Hera to unlock the fuse. Pull out the dead fuse and then Xeno over to the drawer with the fuses before Liv. You can grab the fuse and bring it back somewhat faster than Liv can hand it to you. Immediately just slightly grab all of the loose cargo so it attaches to the maglocks, and the flip the switch. 

==== Airlock Skip ====
[[File:Lone echo comsat model.png|thumb|Comsat Model]]
FINALLY. We've reached the first major skip of the game. Go through the same passage you threw the Satellite model into earlier, grab the model and bring it with you to the door that leads to the airlock. You don't have to high five Liv or respond to any dialogue, at this point you can just ignore her. 

This is where the speedrun gets a little tricky,and you should definitely practice this outside of a run. 

Take the satellite model and use it to clip through the door. 

Once the model is through the door, grab onto it with both hands and slowly pull it towards you. Your visuals will go nuts for a bit. Eventually, you will clip through the door. It's important to know that the metal part of the door has softer clip properties than the glass. 

Once you're through, immediately grab the EVA pack and attach it to your back. The EVA tutorial should start automatically. Before it starts, position yourself so that you can press the depressurization button immediately after the tutorial ends.

It is possible to clip out of the door with a sticky-note, but you can’t leave the area yet, as that causes a softlock. Wait just outside the door until the area is loaded, then leave, allowing you to save a few seconds.
