Ark Early

Note: This page describes a glitch, trick, or exploit. To see others, click here.

Explanation

The loading zone to enter the Ark of Yamato already exists the moment you enter Ezofuji. By standing in a specific spot and doing 6 KTs straight up you'll enter the final cutscene to enter the Ark.

Demonstration

Look for this patter on the ground, in the area of the red circle you can go up https://i.imgur.com/E42t94J.jpg

NG+2017

Ark early can be done in NG+17 without needing to BKT directly into the loading zone. You can BKT or jump over the invisible wall to the ruins of the ark, and climb up the mast using delayed slope KTs. Slope KT off the end of the highest horizontal yard and fall into the loading zone. The map button can be used to guide your movement. https://clips.twitch.tv/ElatedSlipperyPieTheThing-DAV8jJROiyAIwf3b
