-HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER | 99% NMG ROUTE
+HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER | 99% NMG ROUTE WITH GLITCH'S
 
-Original Concept + Route by CaptainnPorky
+Banging together a super duuuuuper basic glitched route for HLD.  Not editing any bit counts so ignore those.  I will have [GTS] (Glitched Time Save) and [PGTS] (Potential Glitched Time Save) in areas where you'd save time with glitches. Also [NGTS] where there's a spot you could save time with glitches but you would miss something and an explanation why.
 
-Minor route edits + Grenade Strats + upgrade route by Aurorious
+There is some talk it might be faster to do first loop of East first (i.e. up to red door), go buy chain dash, and do almost all of north to come back to east with phantom slash and maybe grenades (because grenades DESTROY east way more than north) however this would require cheesing fire maze with health packs which while possible (because you can skip on the way back) is kinda some complete bullshit. This however would allow us to complete east in 1 go as we'll have rifle for bit/key south of warp and phantom to break into white cloak.  You can grab white cloak and escape the room without going in bounds, so optimal route would probably be finish the north loop of east, then warp to town to grab the cloak.
 
-If you find a consistent strat that saves time, send a twitch clip and I'll add it!
+I will proceed with this route as if there's no major route change.

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCNcRBZTZ-c Fully loaded Boss Rush tutorial.  With the exception of Toad (where we don't have tools) and Reaper (where it's illegal) (UPDATE: Reaper cheese is now legal in NMG) boss strats are same as the ones here.  Considering how many additional tools we get in this run this allows for very fast bosses, take the time to learn strats better than any% ones!
+
-============================================
+
 
-In total in the entire game, there are:
+
 Collect the Pistol (Gun 1/6)
-6 Guns
+[GTS] Monolith Room Early for 2 bits and a key (reminder i have a consistent setup as jank as it is)
-12 Equipment Sets
+
-16 Keys
+
-16 Monoliths
+
-32 Modules
+
-186 Gearbits
+[GTS] Someone timed this out earlier, it IS faster to not get the bit off to the left and phantom slash up there when we come back for dark room.  If you get it first try, it's tricky.
 Continue North Past Village Room
-WHAT WE DON’T GET:
+
-Dash Challenge Bit
+
-Dash Challenge Outfit (Purple)
+[GTS] It's possible to do a hyper fall on the cliff face and clip out of bounds so you can dash straight to the monolith. GL getting this consistent
-Town Arena Outfit (Black)
+
-NG+ Outfit (Pure Black)
+
 Head S/W to Tiny Module Room, Activate Module (1/32)
 Continue to Cave Room, Collect 2 Bits (10/185) and 1 Key (1/16)
 Continue to Next Room, Collect 2 Bits in Flag Room (12/185) Consistent Setup for enemy bit: https://clips.twitch.tv/PiliableHealthyCaterpillarPrimeMe
 [NGTS] You HAVE to do the pre-warp arena. It's substantially faster to do the arena now than it would be to continue walking north to bird room module after doing dark room.  If you don't do the arena, coming back later and trying to go south will raise the walls but with no arena to fight, trigger is way too far in to potentially get out of bounds.
 Continue North Past Arena, Activate Warp
-I include bit counts periodically.  Numbers are assuming you follow my upgrade route.  If you choose not to follow my upgrade route, I include total numbers as well. Shop prices are as follows so you can do the math.
+
 3 Whole bits
-All Sword/Dash upgrades: 3 whole bits.
+
 Buy Chain Dash (Costs 3, 0 left)
-All Ammo Upgrades: 2 whole bits.
+
 Leave Town East
-Grenade upgrades: 2 for first, 3 for second.
+
 Collect 2 Bits (16/185) and Continue to the Next Room
-Extra Health Packs: get better at the game.
+[PGTS] You can collect 1 and then zip to the other side if route somehow has you with phantom slash at this point
 Collect 1 Bit (17/185) and Head Down the Elevator
-While I include an upgrade route, all of it is optional in a 98.5075% run except for chain dash.  Feel free to make your own upgrade decisions.  There are 3 arena's in particular that grenades save a significant enough time to be worth it, I include clips of those.  They're useful in a lot of mob fights though, so feel free to experiment.
+[PTGS] Again, if you somehow have phantom slash, faster to zip to the other side of this room, grab that bit, then backtrack for the module.
 Activate Module (2/32) and Head Up the Elevator
-I say when to equip rifle to hit rifle pylons, but when it's unequipped doesn't matter.  Use your judgement.
+
 Activate East Warp
-Route assumes you know where everything is when mentioning bits.  Use the map or the bit locator if you're having trouble.  Look for the little squares!
+[PGTS] Routing option if you somehow have Phantom at this point, it's possible to zip OOB into either red door or the 3 module door.
 [PGTS] It's also possible to zip out of bounds and walk up above and lower the walls without doing north loop.  I've seen it done (and idk where the clip would be now) but never done it myself.
 
 Continue East, Head Down Elevator
 Fight Plants, Head through North Pink Door
 Directly After Pink Door, Head East for Hidden Bit (19/185)

 Complete Dash Challenge, Collect Bit (23/185) Faster strat for exiting dash challenge: https://clips.twitch.tv/GoldenEncouragingDolphinChocolateRain

 Exit Through East Elevator
 
 Head North/East of the Purple Frogs and Get Hidden Bit (31/185)

 Go all the way to the Bit you just unlocked towards the Eastern Part of the Room (32/185)
 Continue To Module in the Center of the Room (5/32) (S+Q)
 Exit Through Northern Elevator

 [GTS] Get clippy on this module, just walk through the wall to the right and go back to the lower room

 Head all the way to the Boss Door
 Head West of Boss Door, Get 2 Bits (45/185)
 Head East of Boss Door, Get Monolith (5/16) Dash pattern over the platforms is dash twice, walk for a bit, repeat till horizontal part and chain dash rest.  Sample video: https://clips.twitch.tv/ThankfulCredulousCheddarGivePLZ

 Go Through the Red Door
 Head All the Way to the Big Fountain
 Head South of Fountain, Do the Dash Challenge to Get Bit (51/185) and Hidden Module (9/32)
 [GTS] Faster to clip to atlantis if you get it first try.  Go to the door, stand on the left side and open it to get pushed out of bounds.  Then dash 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 9 o'clock and you'll barely make it onto the platform.  Once you do it once it'll make sense and you'll get it every time.  (note, it's been a while, might be 10 8 9 instead of 8 10 9)
 Head North of 8 Module Door, Use Elevator
 Head to the South of the Room
 Complete the Mini Dash Challenge, Get 2 Bits (53/185)
 Go all the Way to the North/Eastern part of the room for Hidden Bit (54/185)

 Leave through the Elevator, Go West and Get Monolith (6/16)

 Collect Hidden Key South of Block Crushers (5/16) (second block, it's obvious on the wall)
 Use Mini-Warp and Head South Over the Invisible Path
 Collect Hidden Bit to the West (58/185) (Another good grenade place) Note, the walls will come back up if enemies reenter the arena, but if you chain dash after last kill you'll usually make it out.
 Leave the Room through the East Exit
 Get Through the Room, Use Elevator
 Leave the Room through the East Exit
 Get Through Room, Right Enemy for Bit (59/185)
-11 Whole bits (14 total without buying)
+[GTS] if you can bonk on the wall, by the crusher, crusher will push you OOB and you can skip most the room.
 Leave Through North Door
-Buy Charge Slash (3) + 2 grenades (5) + Phantom Slash (3) 0 bits left
+[GTS] Same deal, easy OOB
 Break Left Box, Get Bit (60/185)
-Phantom slash is necessary for fast reaper and is just generally useful throughout the run.
+
-It is also the only way your dash can go through enemies so is a good panic button.
+
-With more refined strats it really helps with West 8 door, highly recommend getting it.
+
 
 Head West of Pillar Room
-This highlight basically gets a perfect north as far as combat goes, as well as a basically perfect north boss (it's possible to end in the bottom corner but not realistic in rta).  Use it as a guide for how to optimize fights https://www.twitch.tv/videos/179569079
+
 After the Elevator, Head East and Get Hidden Bit (62/185)

 Get the Hidden Bit through the East Wall (64/185) and Continue through the Door
 [GTS] You can skip this arena, clip out of bounds using the door and go to the right.  The routes specific but some people do this in any% so there should be a clip somewhere.  You can break the box for the bit with your pistol (bullet hitbox is enormous when it hits something) and collect it out of bounds, then just go to the loading zone.
 Fight Sniper by the Door, Get his Bit (65/185) and Continue
 Fight the Hand Arena, Collect Bit (66/185) and Module (12/32)

 Head into the 3 Module Door and Use the Elevator
 Go North, then Follow the Western Hidden Path to Bit (67/185)
 Continue North

+
 Continue on Main Path, Go North Exit

 Go South/West, Grab Bit Below West Exit (103/185)

+[PGTS] as previously mentioned, a complete north first route would eliminate this revist
 
 Enter the House, Equip the White Cape
 
 Do Soccer Kid (113/185)
 
 Soccer Kid Strat: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/137696247  This DOES work with controller, might take a bit of practice.
 
 [GTS] You are not intended to beat soccer kid so anytime you do it is a glitch.  That's why the category is 99% NMG Kappa
 
 If you struggle with sky factory dashes, optional to buy Dash Reflect upgrade
 More upgrades are also optional, but currently there's no strats for them besides reflect slash, but it's not worth the time to grab unless you're there anyway.
 
 [PGTS] There's a whole lotta nothing between archer and pillar, may be faster to go ahead and transition clip for the pillar and then just warp away from archer
 
 [PGTS] By the way, it's possible to zip past the gate blocking south till you've raised the other pillars.  No idea why it'd be faster from a routing standpoint but maybe?

 Head South, Activate South Warp
 Use the Western Elevator, then head East
 Get the Hidden Monolith through the West wall (10/16) and Head South

 Head South, Get Hidden Bit to the Left (116/185) and Continue South
 In the Next Room, Grenade Strat for turret arena: https://clips.twitch.tv/NeighborlySleepyCourgetteTheThing
 [NGTS] There's a ridiculous strat to skip half this room by using a bullet boost, but we need stuff from the rest of the room so don't bother.
 Continue down.

 Mecha Armor Arena Grenade Strat https://clips.twitch.tv/WittySmilingNewtUnSane
 To note, extra dirks spawn a set amount of time after the dirks die, however extra rocket guy spawns a set amount of time after upper right one aggro's to you.  Hitting him does nothing to advance the timer, he just has to want to shoot you.

 Fight Archer Boss, Pick up 3 Bits (149/185)
 Activate the Pillar
 Warp to South 19 1/4 bits
 
 After this point (or maybe before this point) you have enough bits that it's too slow to count.  Just hope you have them all.

 Do phantom slash and just hold sword, you'll get a charge slash before a dirk can attack every time.
 (Legacy Strat if you're curious
 CDC Grenade Strat https://clips.twitch.tv/PopularPuzzledMuleCoolCat
 Setup explanation: If you look at the crystals closely the have 2 different patterns forming stripes.  Dash down second stripe from far right, then dash left into room.  Throw grenade down (exact angle isn't too specific, aim for middle of the wall), immediately shotgun plink upwards (toward center of the room), throw a grenade toward center of the room, and usually there will be a bit of cleanup based on enemy movement RNG, but it's manageable.
