Current Best Route

Quest stages are indicated in parentheses at the end of each step when they are updated. Unlike other quest pages, the Tutorial is documented exactly how it appears in the run with extra steps that aren't specifically to advance this quest. Setups for certain saves and character/class choices are used heavily in other quests.

Choose a Male Redguard during character creation.

  1. Click “Continue” on the quest pop-up to start the run. Press caps lock to always be sprinting, and press F3 to bring up the spell menu. (10)
  2. Hotkey the Flare spell on hotkey #1 and equip Adrenaline Rush.
  3. Cast the Adrenaline Rush spell, quicksave, then sit in the chair and make a save. This will be called TutorialSaddleSave later.
  4. Quickload, then Save Clip through the right front edge of the NE archway.
  5. When you clip through the wall, run to the east until you Void Warp back in bounds.

  7. Take all items off of the Goblin corpse and make a save. This will be called PermaKey_Save later.
  8. Open the door so that the popup shows up about using the Iron Key, and press escape to load the PermaKey_Save you just made. This enables Perma Key.
  9. Continue linearly to the end of the zone and Load Warp the TutorialSaddleSave through the door at the end of this zone.
  10. Run ESE and Void Warp back in bounds. Continue to the large cave area and head NNE to make a save in either of the chairs along the left wall. This will be called RatSkip_Save later. (80)
  11. Continue to the end of the zone and Load Warp the PermaKey_Save through to the next zone.
  12. Use your hotkey #1 to equip Flare again. Fall down and use Flare to kill the Mythic Dawn Agent up on the SW ledge.
  13. Head SE and punch the Emperor six times to make them chase you. Run back to the door in the main area and yield when Glenroy is close enough to you.
  14. Kill the Mythic Dawn Agent when the door opens, then wait for the next door to open and kill the other Mythic Dawn Agents that appear.
  15. Run up to the Emperor and wait for him to talk to you.
    ↳ Advance predetermined dialogue.

    ↳ Advance all predetermined dialogue.
  16. Talk to Baurus, who will give you a torch.
  17. Hit the Emperor once to get them to chase you, then run ahead and kill any Mythic Dawn Agents on your way. Yield to the Emperor when you are by the door to the next area.
  18. Make sure Baurus spawns in the next area when you go through the door. If he doesn’t you may need to go back through the door and enter the zone again.
  19. In the next area, hug the right wall and jump to the ledge across the gap. Save Clip facing west through the door. As soon as you clip through, run SSW and Void Warp to the sewer grate.
  20. Make a save in front of the grate and do not enter it. Make sure to write down the number of the save. It will be called BaurusGrate_Save later.
  21. Head back through the door before the grate and head SE down the hall and Flare the Mythic Dawn Agent.

Bugs

  • If you don't reach stage 100 of this quest by Load Warping past the sewer exit, the Wait Timer Bug will be active, preventing NPC scheduling from updating properly. This bug is left active temporarily in the 100% route to make Class Reset easier to execute in the early game.
  • If you don't talk to Baurus to get the torch, he will constantly approach the player during waits to talk to them.

Route Logic Considerations

  • The Class Reset glitch can be activated inside the Tutorial, which is why a Load Warp save is made facing the entrance to the tutorial sewer. This sewer entrance is changed later so that you cannot return to this exact version of the sewer.
  • The Saddle saves that are made during this quest are used heavily throughout the run.
  • Talking to Baurus to get the torch is an essential step to avoid a bug where he will continuously interrupt the player during waits to talk to them.
  • The Scout is chosen as the class due to the Athletics and Acrobatics major skills allowing for optimized movement.
  • The Female High Elf is chosen because her height gives the player a 10% increase to all movement speed.
  • The Item Launch strategy is technically faster after the first Save Clip but that glitch is too inconsistent.
  • There is an incredibly inconsistent Save Clip in the second zone (through the goblin key door) that we skip in the 100% route to make the route more user-friendly, but it is technically much faster.
  • There is a strategy for the Emperor escort section of the tutorial that utilizes heavy Load Warping setups in order to force NPCs to be placed in key spots that skip most of the scripted escort sections. This strategy is faster without load times, but it is significantly slower in RTA, which is the primary system for ranking 100% speedruns. This strategy, and the previous ones mentioned can all be viewed in this Any% run.
  • Deliver the Amulet is started the last time you talk to Baurus during this quest.
