This is a working document for the route of the Unreal Speed run on Unreal Difficulty. The run will be done with the music turned to 0% so segments do not break immersion. Further testing is still required to determine what official version this will be run on. Initially 227F was selected but it seems that gameplay changes have worked their way into the update and these have an adverse impact to the run.

- Dodge straight on to the raft that takes you to the level exit, ignoring the Skaarj guard. Exit level
End of Level Health: 114
End of Level Armor: 0

- Jump on top of elevator to exit early, kill titan with 8ball grenades collecting the ammo and shield belt while fighting. Time it so that you are at the wall the crumbles when the Titan dies. **NOTE** Titan takes a lot of hits, this is why it's important to have over 20 8ball ammo from the previous level. You should be able to kill the Titan with the grenades, and not use any other weapon.
- Exit level

End of Level Armor: 100SB, 100A (Body Armor)

Terraniux Underground
- Dodge over to main elevator button, press and collect ASMD ammo
- Collect eightball and ammo, wait for Skaarj Merc to emerge from elevator and have a full load of 8ball grenades ready for him. Quick-switch to ASMD to finish him off. **NOTE** by assigning a high priority to the ASMD you can throw other weapons down to "Quick-switch" to the ASMD. This is significantly faster than changing weapons in a normal fashion.
- Proceed through alarms and activate both switches to ride elevator up. Collect the two flak shells and ASMD ammo, Avoid Mercs. SEGMENT when at the base of the elevator. **NOTE** When segmenting be sure to be looking horizontally, and not up or down. It seems that when you save, there is only a small range of vertical positions it will remember so the segment will be very obvious and break immersion if done wrong. (this statement may require further testing to verify)
- Ride elevator up, activate AMP, and start loading rockets in last 10 meters or so, enough that after an elevator jump through the doors you will have a full load of rockets for the Merc who spawns either on the right or the left. This will be determined by the Segment. If the Merc spawns on the right, rerun the first segment until he spawns on the left. When you kill him he drops a flare which you need to pick up and this is easier to do when he is on your left.
- The rockets should be enough to kill the first merc, quick switch to the ASMD and combo the Merc that is downstairs and to the left.
- Turn around and combo the merc which is downstairs and to the right. Collect the eightball ammo and Jump down and to the right, collecting the toxin suit.
- Follow the walkway and combo the next merc, jump in the water and combo the slith. All of these enemies need to die for the exit door to open. They should all only take one combo to finish off. AMP will be drained by the end. Track backwards and enter the door, and push the button to exit.
End of Level Health: 114
End of Level Armor: 70SB, 100A, 50T (Toxin Suit)- Perfect run would yeild 100 SB but don't worry about it too much because there will be a fresh SB in the next level.
End of Level Weapons: DP, AM, ASMD [19], 8B [6]
End of Level Items: T, F [3], S , FL
Terraniux
- Backpedal from the button, turn around and dodge to the walkway and then to the lower level.
- Make your way to the right after going through the automatic doors. **POSSIBLE TIME SAVER** by using 3 rockets you can boost yourself straight to the "Shield belt" room in the Terraniux complex, this is done by heading LEFT past the Slith after the automatic doors. Need to investigate the time saved with this and how critical the health is at this point.
- Dodge through the tunnel and up the elevator, exiting the room that the elevator is in.
- Go Right, to the next room, referred to as the "Shield Belt room" Push the button on the wall to activate the doors behind the SB and jump boots. Collect the SB and Jump Boots and go through the doors.
- Run to the broken elevator and let it take you up to the pipe that is blocking it. Elevator jump onto the pipe, activate the boots and peform a double jump to the upper level of Terraniux.
- At this point you should still have 100 body armor, eliminating the need to collect it. This may not be true if time saver above is investigated.
- Proceed directly to elevator that takes you to the room with the force field. Wait for the elevator, or ASMD jump, or use jump boots (depending on further investigation into health and jumpboots.)
- Collect Force Field. This is needed for Bluff Eversmoking. jump in water and go through water tunnel to next room.
- Exit water and use jump boots, or ASMD jump (Depending on further investigation) up to exit elevator. Let it take you down to next level.

End of Level Items: T, F [3], S , FL, FF (Force Field)
Noork's Elbow
- Use Save Manipulation to avoid random Merc in entry area.
- Pick up 8Ball and ammo, dodge past Mer and down ramp until it is safe to dodge off without losing more than 20SB. **NOTE and POSSIBLE TIME SAVER** some versions of unreal let you use depleted jump boots to protect against large falls. 227F does not have this functionality. Using a different version of Unreal may change this route to account for that.
- Dodge to drawbridge avoiding additional Merc damage. Use ASMD jump to cross drawbridge early
- Exit Level

Temple of Vandora
- Equip 8ball, go through gate and kill skaarj as he jumps into courtyard with 3 grenades. This will open the gate at the end of the courtyard.
- Go through gates and turn left, picking up the Stinger. Drop down stairway and turn left to alter room.
- Collect 8ball ammo and do a 2 rocket jump to upper ledge where Amp is. Collect Amp and exit gate. Be sure to have at least 36 rockets after the jump. SEGMENT
- Dodge through enemies to get to Titan Arena. Use ASMD to knock them around. It will take many tries before you get a run that has no damage through all the officers and brutes. Collect 8ball ammo on the way. SEGMENT, unless you are feeling lucky with the Titan.
- Kill Titan with 8ball grenades. It shouldn't take more than the 48 rounds that you have to kill him but you will have to hit every single grenade. Be at the back of the arena when he dies as the wall will instantly disappear allowing you to exit the level.

- Jump onto his chair and press the button he was sitting on to start raising the bridge
- Run + dodge towards the chasm, use a 3 rocket jump over the chasm to the other side and collect some nali fruit to get back up to 100HP. It is possible to get across with 2 rockets, but it is risky and doesn't gain anything unless you can retain shields or armor

- Run + dodge towards the second switch and open the first gate
- While running uphill towards the second gate, load up a few grenades and bounce them off the first window pillar on your right. They should hit and possibly kill the Skaarj lurking in the platform.
