The Colette Skip is a once rare event where the runner can save about 10 seconds by getting rid of a brain slug extra early. It is named after Suisse French LIMBO runner DarthColette, who discovered the skip.
This skip takes place after the weights puzzle. The player gets hit by a brain slug, runs into the light and is then forced to slide down a hill where, in a regular scenario, he would need to run into another light to eventually use a box to reach the creatures who eat the slug from the characters head.
In a Colette Skip, the player jumps on the exact right spot after sliding down. This is a frame-perfect action that triggers the action of the creatures to get rid of the slug. The player can then immediately continue the run without having to turn back.
Setup[]
After years of being a mythical dream skip, runner sad_david broke the code and found a setup for the skip, making it actually reliable in runs. It is possible to perform with both keyboard and gamepad controls.
- After you got the brain slug is attached to your head, get into the light and turn around, as usual
- When you approach the slope, jump on it from shortly after the brain slugs cocoon's position on the ceiling
- Slide down the first slope after you pass the tree in the foreground and see two patches of grass on the ground. Do a little jump around the second patch
- On the second slope, jump down as late as possible so, so you get a long walk before the creatures on the ceiling
- Once you pass the little rock for about two thirds, perform a jump
- When you x position is alsmost beyond the leftmost creature, let go of every input
- When you are beyond the leftmost creature, press left
- If done everything correctly, you have now performed a Colette skip. Congratulations!
