Main Sequence: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:59, 7 October 2022

The main sequence in a game is the normal (most natural) sequence in which required items are acquired, bosses are fought, characters are met, and major events happen. Everything listed here is required to complete the game, anything else is considered optional.

A "branch" occurs when the main sequence offers multiple equally natural choices. (Players must complete all branches, but can do so in the order they want.) Axiom Verge 1 has no such branches. It is unverified if Axiom Verge 2 does.

A sequence break occurs when a player do things in an order that differs from the main sequence. Minor breaks are indicated here for convenience.

-===Sequence Breaks===
-In Axiom Verge, there are only two breaks of the main sequence, both of which only allows to skip a few things.
-====Grapple Skip====
-The Grapple Skip involves finding a way to get back from the "Jump of No Return" without the Grapple. This is the only, normally non-optional, purpose of the Grapple in the whole game.
-<p style="margin-bottom:0px;">There are three methods to do so:</p>
-#'''Never''' enter a [[Rebirth Chamber]] to heal or save after the "Jump of No Return". Then, after getting the Address Disruptor 2, either commit suicide or "save and quit" to reappear in a rebirth chamber prior to the jump.
-#Clear the jump to reach Oracca without the Grapple. Normally impossible, but by sending the remote drone over the edge to go damage a [[Blurst]], one can use the released [[Blurst's Swarm]] to perform an insanely difficult "damage boost" to clear that jump.<sup>Footage wanted.</sup>
-#Clear the "Jump of No Return" in reverse. It is, apparently, barely possible to do so with just the Field Disruptor.<sup>Footage wanted.</sup> This method is much slower than the second one, but arguably easier.
-<p style="margin-bottom:0px;">The last two methods are slower but there are reasons to use them:</p>
-*In a casual run, it allows to keep using rebirth chambers to heal and save.
-*In a speed run, it only makes sense to use them in a category where the first method is forbidden by the rules. For instance, the "warpless" category, where one can neither return to the menu or die.
-<p style="margin-bottom:0px;">Regardless of which method is employed, the player is able to make it back to Eribu, then towards the "Hallucination Sequence" to continue the game like "normal". However, because the repair drones weren't released, two story points will be messed up:</p>
-*Ophelia is not supposed to be repaired and functional. She will be repaired anyway.
-*A repair drone comes to save Trace after the [[Vision]] battle. It won't be there. You can still hear the sounds it would make and Trace ends up being saved anyway.
-====Bomb Skip====
-This skip is rather simple. The path to upper Edin and Ukhu is blocked by [[Corruption#Level 3|Lv.3 breach]], and only an Address Bomb can remove it. But, it doesn't have to be removed, actually. By taking damage and using the Trenchcoat, one can simply teleport through it. Beside that, the Address Bomb is only required for optional items and shortcuts.
