Quick Answer
Friendly Steps officially includes hidden shortcuts, items, quests, side paths and a speedrun mode. Establish a safe route first, then test one alternate path at a time. Record whether it saves time and whether the group can repeat it.
Route Test Checklist
- Complete the normal route and record major failure points.
- Test a side path without a speed target.
- Note where it reconnects and what movement skill it demands.
- Repeat it before calling it a shortcut.
- In rope co-op, measure regrouping time as part of the route cost.
Exact shortcut and quest locations need current-build verification, so this page does not fabricate a map. Improve walking consistency and rope coordination first. Return to the Friendly Steps hub.
