'''Red sage cutscene skip''' is a skip in [[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy]] that allows a player to skip the cutscene that plays after opening the teleport gate in the Red Sage's lab.  


To activate the gondola, the Red Sage teleport gate must be opened and 2 power cells need to be collected afterwards.

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.

== Technical ==
= Jak II =
The skip is performed by using a [[Pause Buffer|pause buffer]] to delay the start of the cutscene once it is triggered. Jak then dies in the lava during the pause buffer and the cutscene starts after the player exits the start menu. The game attempts to play the cutscene but cannot since Jak is in a dead state. Once Jak respawns, the cutscene is flagged as watched and the game will assume the teleport gate has been opened as intended.

There are different variants of Red Sage cutscene skip, but the current method was discovered by Sultra.
 
== Other Notes ==
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdI2KtrjPSY This is the original Red Sage's Hut Cutscene Skip]. Due to it's difficulty and length, it was not well received.
 
Jazz would be the first to use the skip in runs and [https://youtu.be/C6B13gh3sv4?si=ONEXXP1sRX0M2br1&t=2724 achieved his first WR with the skip] (1h04m27s).
 
Abahbob and/or Rozer are responsible for the [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/40551286 original skip using pause buffers], but this was quickly obsoleted the same day when [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jH1MN5irS8 Sultra put forward the method we use today].

In Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, there is a texture file called fin-leafygroundBACKdirt.png in the 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.
