Wharf District is the first area of the game; it's impossible to skip or do it out of order.
Contents
Repeater vs. Repeaterless
In NG categories, there are two possible routes in the first area. The Repeater route involves picking up and using the Repeater, while the Repeaterless Route skips it and relys entirely on the Hammer. The Repeaterless Route is ~1 second faster if done well, but is riskier and easier to lose time on. As the Repeater Route is safer and more consistent, it is recommended for newer runners. Both routes are described below.
Route
The level is divided into three individual parts: The Rippling Walls, The Sole Regret and The Wharf District.
NG Any%/ASL
The Rippling Walls
Timing begins when you gain control of the Kid after he gets up. Walk up the stairs and across the straight path, and pick up the Hammer as soon as possible. This will allow you to begin rolling. Roll to the right around the debris, then follow the path ahead. Take the upper path at the split around the gate and roll past the debris before the market area. A short cutscene will play in which a Gasfella appears. Roll to it and perform two stationary hits to kill it, then roll past it up the stairs.
- Repeater Route
- Pick up the Repeater, then roll up and around the wall and roll between the market stand and rock pile to clip through the debris. Roll to the fountain, interact with it, and immediately drink a health potion. Clear the walls around the fountain and wait for the six squirts to spawn. When they do, perform a moving hit to kill the top-left squirt, then roll to the top-right squirt and kill it with a moving hit. Move slightly up right and shoot the rest of the squirts with targeted repeater shots. This route will aggro each of the squirts and (usually) get them out of the way of the fountain. When all the squirts are dead, roll to entrance to the Sole Regret and enter it.
- Repeaterless Route
- Roll past the Repeater up and around the wall and roll between the market stand and rock pile to clip through the debris. Roll to the fountain, interact with it, and immediately drink a health potion. Clear the walls around the fountain and wait for the six squirts to spawn. When they do, perform a moving hammer hit to kill the top-left squirt, then roll to the top-right squirt and kill it with a moving hit. Walk slightly down to kill both of the squirts on the right with a moving hit, then walk back toward the last two squirts and use a moving hit on them. When all the squirts are dead, roll to entrance to the Sole Regret and enter it.
The Sole Regret
- Repeater Route
- When you gain control of the Kid, roll once towards Rondy (the corpse of the bartender), and shoot him with your repeater until he is destroyed (try to avoid hitting the box that's next to him). This will cause the Bullhead Shield to fall down sooner. Use the wait time to clear out the tables with moving hammer hits and the benches and crates with rolls. Pick up the shield immediately.

- When you gain control of the Kid, roll to the window to the right side of the room. This will cause the Bullhead Shield to fall down sooner. Use the wait time to clear out the tables with moving hammer hits and the benches and crates with rolls. Pick up the shield immediately.
After this, three groups of enemies spawn: The first is a single turret behind the bar. As it spawns, destroy it with two stationary hits. Two health potions will fall where the turret was.
After the turret is gone, two waves of boxes with small Gasfellas with them will start falling down. The fastest way to kill each is to roll into it and perform two moving attacks.

After landing, get up and roll towards the tree on the bottom of the screen. This should let you get past the brick wall that will soon fall without having to destroy it. Roll carefully through the planks and pick up Whirlwind. Keep moving until you find yourself between a pair of turrets and in front of a gate.

Open the Distillery and the Arsenal, then immediately close them (in the Distillery, position you cursor at the bottom of the screen and press Esc, then click Accept).
Keep moving through the level until you reach a switch. Activate it immediately to get the barge you're standing on moving towards the end of the Wharf District. As soon as the barge reaches the stairs, move into the big platform and roll straight up towards the gate that you can see.

The Sole Regret
When you gain control of the Kid, roll once towards Rondy (the corpse of the bartender), and shoot him with your repeater until he is destroyed. Aim for him, as the homing shots will not target him. This will cause the Bullhead Shield to fall down sooner. Use the wait time to clear out the tables, benches, and crates with the Repeater. Pick up the shield immediately.
