| '''Klaww Skip''' is a skip used in most speedrun categories to bypass the boss fight with Klaww and continue into Mountain Pass.
| | In some of the Jak and Daxter games, there are hidden pictures of the game developers. |

| | In [[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy]], there is a texture file called <code>fin-leafygroundBACKdirt.png</code> in the <code>finalboss-vis-tfrag<,/code> textures folder which contains a hidden face baked into the image. The texture repeatedly appears in the mountainous landscape surrounding the dark eco silo at the final boss fight. It is difficult to see during the final boss fight since everything is dark and purple, but it is easily viewable from the silo after completing the boss fight and the weather becomes clear again. |

| By ledge grabbing the stone platform in the middle of the boss fight, Jak is able to clip into the lava without dying. Jak can then let go of the ledge and walk through the lava. If Jak performs any actions other than walking while in the lava, the lava will kill him. There is no known way to consistently perform this version of the skip, with most players citing a 1/4 or 1/5 chance of success.

|
| === Idle Deload === | | = Jak 3 = |
| A slower but much more consistent method of skipping Klaww is by using an [[Idle Deload|idle deload]]. If Jak visits Klaww, triggers the cutscene where Klaww smashes a rock pillar, then navigates to Boggy Swamp and performs and idle deload on a specific rock, Jak will end up respawning at the checkpoint behind Klaww. This puts Jak at the beginning of the Mountain Pass race.

| == Variants ==
| |
| | |
| === First Phase Klaww Skip ===
| |
| In the lava, there are metallic platforms that, when blue eco is collected, will construct into a bridge that leads to yellow eco to fight Klaww. When in this scattered formation, the metallic platforms can still be walked on by Jak. By performing some precise movement and a boosted uppercut, it is possible to traverse on these platforms and make it to the center island without constructing the bridge. This can all be done while Klaww is in the '''first phase''' of his attacks. From here, the player is able to perform the [[Lava Walk]] skip method.
| |
| | |
| The [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/33275808 first version] of this variant involved taking damage and getting a standpoint on a pillar in the lava. The current version uses a boosted uppercut to skip having to stand on the pillar.
| |
| | |
| This is the fastest version of Klaww Skip and [[Drunk Cam]] is guaranteed when racing in Mountain Pass. It has only ever been performed by [https://youtu.be/bQ8EkhlnwMU?si=M_dsoTp3OzxerK67&t=450 The_Stellar] and [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1653253939?t=0h7m06s Aslov] in Any% speedruns.

| ==Discoveries ==
| |
| The lava walk method was discovered by Piggleberry, [[User:Blahpy|Blahpy]], and Sir_Jazzberry.
| |
| | |
| The idle deload method was discovered by ???.
| |
| | |
| The first phase variant without a boosted uppercut was first performed by Piggleberry on [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/33275808 January 3, 2016].
| |
| | |
| The first phase variant with a boosted uppercut was first performed by [[User:Ruh|Ruh]] on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4oA2S1KLJo September 28, 2017].

| | |
| == Other Notes ==
| |
| === Original Klaww Skip ===
| |
| Lava Walk was first used to skip Klaww by Piggleberry, blahpy & Ouiji. (January 3, 2016)
| |
| | |
| Later, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amYQ8n6SRW0 Boomer performed the first idle deload method]. (March 1, 2016)
| |
| | |
| === First Phase ===
| |
| Jazz has a since deleted video of him theorising a way to get past Klaww by jumping on the underside of the boulders he shoots. He didn't manage to pull this off put it was proven possible later. Getting to the middle platform early has no benefit without the use of lava walk as well to get past Klaww, which wasn't known when Jazz made his video. (Late 2014, early 2015?)
| |
| | |
| Using the metal platforms on the right to get to the yellow eco platform may have been done before Piggleberry, but no earlier footage exists. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/88227085 This was done on the same day], likely earlier, that Lava Walk was discovered. (January 3, 2016)
| |
| | |
| [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/88227085 headstrong's demonstration] is the earliest recording we have of someone deliberately doing the full skip. (September 8, 2016)
| |
| | |
| [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scH4CFI_EkE Ruh's video] later showed it was possible to reach the yellow eco platform by jumping on top of the boulders that Klaww shoots. (May 15, 2018)
