| = Tips =
| |
| The tips listed below are intended for beginner speedrunners.
| |
| | |
| == Geyser Rock ==
| |
| * The first power cell cutscene skip is optional and not recommended for beginner runners. It only saves roughly 1 or 2 seconds and is only used by top runners who are trying to save as much time as possible.
| |
| * For newer runners, do not reset in Geyser over minor mistakes. You won't spend any time in other sections of the game and you'll only get good at Geyser movement. Leave Geyser and try to complete full runs.
| |
| | |
| == Sandover Village ==
| |
| * There is no reason you should be resetting in Sandover Village. No major mistakes can happen here unless you are severely under the required orb count.
| |
| | |
| == Forbidden Jungle ==
| |
| * A bad fish time is not always a reason to reset. The fishing mini game happens very early in the run. A bad fish time can easily be made up for with time save later in the run.
| |
| | |
| == Misty Island ==
| |
| * There is an moment in the Balloon Lurker rotation cycle that allows Jak to optimally destroy them. If a runner arrives to the Balloon Lurker portion of the level too late, this optimal moment in the cycle will have passed and the runner will lose time. Newer runners should die to the lurker shark after collecting the orbs from the first orb vent by the bridge. This will reset the Balloon Lurker cycle to allow the player to destroy them optimally.
| |
| | |
| * If you mess up the boosted uppercut when trying to get the power cell on the stone pillar at the end, try again. If you mess up too many times, it's probably best to reset. | |
| | |
| == Sentinel Beach ==
| |
| * This level only has one checkpoint and spawn point at the very beginning. Because of this, an unintentional death will lose a significant amount of time. Depending on your personal best time, you should reset the run if you accidentally die here.
| |
| | |
| * A delayed "Chase the Seagulls" trigger is nothing to reset over for newer runners. This is only a few seconds of time loss at most.
| |
| | |
| == Fire Canyon ==
| |
| * In Fire Canyon, there are surfaces with <code>hotcoals</code> and <code>lava</code> material properties. If Jak is on the zoomer and hovers above a surface that has the <code>lava</code> material assigned to it, the heat meter will begin to go up much faster. Try to avoid these <code>lava</code> areas by jumping over them to maximize heat reduction.

| |
| | |
| == Rock Village ==
| |
| * Doing Blue Sage Cutscene Skip in No LTS does not entirely skip the cutscene. The cutscene can still p[lay if the camera gets too close to the Blue Sage's hut. When making your way to Lost Precursor City, it is important to keep your camera positioned to the left of Jak to avoid hitting the cutscene trigger.
| |
| | |
| == Precursor Basin ==
| |
| | |
| == Lost Precursor City ==
| |
| | |
| == Boggy Swamp ==
| |
| * The [[Backwards Boggy]] route is recommended for all runners to learn and is the most difficult part of the No LTS category.
| |
| | |
| == Mountain Pass ==
| |
| * Skipping Klaww is necessary and easy for all runners. For new runners, the [[Klaww_Skip#Idle_Deload|idle deload method]] is suggested.
| |
| * [[Cave Hops]] and/or [[Tree Hops]] are optional and only utilized by top runners. Instead, you can [https://youtu.be/Gp5QDw8cxDQ?si=v0hGv6DFUR5GX58i&t=2695 backtrack on foot] to collect the power cell. If you struggle with high jumping up to the power cell, you can use [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP5U99Vpvto this visual guide] to assist.
| |
| | |
| == Volcanic Crater ==
| |
| * Try not to die too many times in Volcanic Crater. This increases the chance of the game crashing on traditional hardware (PS2).
| |
| | |
| == Spider Cave ==
| |
| * The boosted uppercut used to get the power cell on top of the Precursor Robot in the robot room is one of the hardest boosted uppercuts to execute properly in the No LTS category. This is due to Jak being powered by blue eco during the process. A method that can make the trick easier is to zoom walk a little bit off the ledge and then do the boosted uppercut.
| |
| | |
| * A backup method to the robot room boosted uppercut can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhqji08QTRQ here].
