12:00 - Wow, so by saving there and reloading your game, you can get Indra up to that save point, then you can do that trick to launch the drone on top of the tower in the room to the left, which allows you to skip losing your body... That's pretty awesome, I'm glad that skip exists
Not understanding how the boomerang curves back to you and hits the switch at 19:00 in. That's some N64 Smash Bros Break the Targets Link shit but more intense. Kinda stuck there at the moment following this.
essentially, by locking indra after throwing the boomerang, and then holding the boomerang button, you can move the boomerang around with the directional buttons
so apparently if you save at a different point as the drone and as you switch back to Indra you quit and enter the game again Indra teleports to the point the drone was saved at?
@@blueylewis9419 can you plz explain why the final boss didn't spawn? is the trigger bound to Indra and the drone isn't considered as Indra until you r body is stolen?
@@eladblaier898 I'm also thinking not grabbing the Anuman (drone transform) keeps any 'Indra' triggers on your body since you have the original drone launch as opposed to BECOMING the drone
Lol... What a run ! And the final boss doesn't spawn ! That made me laugh ! Though, if you skip the entire body stealing thing, why the hell do you need to make the bomb explode? lool
I had issues there too. It got stuck below the floor twice on me. The third time I went all the way to the far left side of the room before I used the breach attractor and it worked.
Just finished the game. Looking to get rest of the speedrun trophies for platinum. Can I attempt to follow this in 2023 on PS5 for the platinum. Or is this high end gamer skills only. If so any other videos I could mimic to get trophies as fast as possible? Thx.
Can anybody tell me if the story relates to the first one? I was really invested in the story of the first one. And you can SPOIL it for me. It's fine.
I think Axiom Verge 2 is a prequel to the 1st. While Axiom Verge 2 is trying to tell a story on its own, remnants of the first game are present through the pages found in various locations, such as letters from both Hammond and Trace. Also Hammond is communicating with the player (Indra) in AV2 while Trace spent all of the game speaking to Giant Headed Super Computers (and at the end, Athetos) while Hammond is only mentioned by word through Trace in the 1st. Indras background isn’t detailed as much as Traces was. All we know about Indra is that she’s a Multibillionaire that bought out the group that is researching the Breach and is called to Antarctica to locate her missing daughter where she believes she’s receiving distress signals from. While Traces story becomes more intricate the more you play the game and find out that you’ve been playing as a clone of the original who stepped into a rebirth chamber to completely heal himself after being crippled from a lab explosion. The reason speculating that AV2 is a prequel to the 1st is that Indra discovers a small group of Sudrans that haven’t been wiped out from the rampant Drones and mechanical constructs, and that they seek a PatternMind that is capable of traversing into the Breach and the many realities it contains to escape what’s left of the ancient civilization that Indra finds herself in, and to assist Indra locate her daughter who is under the watchful eye of Hammond. Another theory that supports that AV2 is a prequel is that Indra is Dead, and the character we play as is just Indras conscience being controlled by Nanomachines that we’re implanted into her with the help of Amashilama. (the voice in AV2 that causes Indra to fall and drown to her death) (You asked for spoilers) After Indra is resurrected and after some game progression has been made, eventually Amashilama will trick you into relinquishing your body so that he / she, I think it’s a she? Can find an even stronger body than Indras and cause some serious havoc in Sudra. Indra is forced to find a replacement body as her “resurrected” body is no longer in her possession. Eventually with more game progression you’ll come across an upgrade that allows Indra to manipulate the Nanomachines of her Drone body to form her Nanobody, Nano-Indra. Here’s where this long explanation is going. At the end of Axiom Verge 2, after thwarting Amashilamas plan to destroy Sudra, Nano-Indra finds the remaining group of living Sundrans so that they can work together. And right before the credits role, Indra feels like she can no longer bare the name “Indra” because the person she is now is just a shadow of her former self. She claims she believes shes something else. During the credits rolling youll see a full scale model of Nano-Indra, and she bares striking resemblances to that of Ophelia, one of the Rusalki in Axiom Verge 1. Hope that was worth the read.
@@GabrielRodriguez-ex9qd Dude, I really appreciate this, I read the whole thing and was not bored reading. Its still hard to grasp though, but I do like the story of Axiom verge, just a bit confusing, but with this Im not totally at ZERO anymore. So Im just trying to figure out what happened to indras daughter and how it ties into axiom verge. But this is very helpful and I appreciate the time and effort you put into writing this.
@@perro79 Indras Daughter is with Hammond in a different plain of existence in the Breach. After spending time as the drone trying to find a replacement body, you eventually come across what is the main computer that controls everything else in the world, which Hammond finally allows Indras Daughter to speak to Indra because of communication issues. If you haven’t played AV2 yet than most of the dialogue is exchange through computers scattered throughout the world. And a handful of scientists/Soldiers that entered the Breach alongside Hammond and formed small bases around certain biomes.
@@GabrielRodriguez-ex9qd Is the Hammond from the first game the same as the Hammond in the second game. In the first game I remember the character being male. In the second game Hammond is a female. I also found a Wiki that says Hammond has always been female, but she has short hair and what we thought was a male was actually a female. And it suggests AV2 is a sequel not a prequel, so I'm confused. What you say does have alot of validity, some parts just dont connect as well as others. In one of the endings of AV1 their doesnt seem to be a hammon in existence. So whats hammonds role across AV1 and AV2? The character appears very little in AV1 but seems to be very important. If hammond is a big shot corporate CEO in the second game which is a prequel, why is hammond just a lab assistent to trace in the first game which comes after. Sorry man, im confused, I do appreciate your help.
The same thing happened to me but I figured out that my game had glitched and that when I was using the Breach Attractor in spider form, the human form was also using it and pulling the breach in two directions. To overcome this, I had to position my human form in the direction that I needed to pull the breach in 40,11. I stood my human form in 41,14 and then went into spider mode and fast travelled my way back to 40,11 and then I was able pull the breach to where I needed it to go.
You convinced me that the 2nd game is better than the first, this game needs more love.

I also love the fact that the final boss just straight up doesn't spawn - because the overpowered body thingy was never actually freed
Is this a glitch or is it designed into the game?
IS designed and it works i have tried
This game is excellent! So glad Happ included speedrun modes in these games, he's a real gamer's gamer haha!
Thank you for this! Used it as a guide to getting the speedrun achievement. Got the platinum trophy!
Same
Wow, really cool speedrun. I love how you abuse the savepoints and fnish the game without losing your body! The final boss is not even there xD
Lamassu: "W-why did you destroy the portal to A'ansur?!"
Nice run I’m surprised it’s even shorter than the axiom verge any% WR
THAT jump to irikar IT'S so haaaaaard
Yeah. I’ve tried it for an hour and still can’t get it.

Following as well for trophies. When I saw that I had to see it in game lol.

@@MushySR thank you kindly!
@@GhostBoyGhoul np
@@MushySR within roughly 30 tries it worked btw :)
Again much appreciated!
Hory shitake mushrooms!! I was wondering how to get on other side of the tower @12:00. Nice run btw. You lost me after timestamp.
Brilliant! Thank you so much for the guide.
Wonder if the story mode reflects this skip or not. pretty cool vid!
Can you explain what you did at 19:00 ?
You opened the gate with your boomerang but I don't understand how ?
so apparently if you save at a different point as the drone and as you switch back to Indra you quit and enter the game again Indra teleports to the point the drone was saved at?
exactly
@@blueylewis9419 can you plz explain why the final boss didn't spawn? is the trigger bound to Indra and the drone isn't considered as Indra until you r body is stolen?
@@eladblaier898 I don't really know but i assume that's why
@@blueylewis9419 thx for explaining this. I think I might start going for runs in a few weeks
@@eladblaier898 I'm also thinking not grabbing the Anuman (drone transform) keeps any 'Indra' triggers on your body since you have the original drone launch as opposed to BECOMING the drone
Thank you for this video. Just did my first run using this and got 01:09:33:42. That boomerang throw took a minute to figure out lol
2 hours later and I've improved 34:37:49.
My advice: Be scared of getting hit in the dark areas
The hit does not drop me down.. patched? :(
Nvm figured another short way with drone :p
@@creepymaidenhow did you do it, i can’t get the boomerang thing
Lol... What a run ! And the final boss doesn't spawn ! That made me laugh ! Though, if you skip the entire body stealing thing, why the hell do you need to make the bomb explode? lool
I just usually quit at 23:16. I've never been able to get the breach attractor to work there. Garbage.
I had issues there too. It got stuck below the floor twice on me. The third time I went all the way to the far left side of the room before I used the breach attractor and it worked.
Good run only minor time loses. Its an amazing display of skills

It's not a difficult speedrun. come to the AV server, we're always happy to help discord.gg/YNCrkAG9
@@blueylewis9419 None of these tricks have been patched out?

There are some pretty dark implications that tie into the first one, yes.

@@hoggzilla1922 thanks for the tip!
A game where you can easily skip passed most enemies and its not required to kill bosses.... easier game to speedrun
