 *World Class/IL Record Strategy
 This is an optimization to the [[#Guta Boost|Guta Boost]], but is quite a bit more difficult. You will want to delay the sniper shot much longer than the Guta boost, and shoot the Guta 3 times with the sniper total. For the timing of the jump, watch [this video] for examples.

		+	Approaching the building after the slide, there will be a large boulder in front of you to the left. The boulder will be slanted at a 45-degree angle. Throw a grenade as you jump on the rock straight on so the grenade bounces forwards, and as you get to the top of the rock, sprint and jump towards the edge of the building in front of you. Crouch as you land on the roof.

		+	There are two methods to do this slide. They are the same speed and difficulty, and would suggest trying both to see what method works best for you.
		+	====Boulder Edge Method====
		+	Follow the sprint cycles mentioned in this [tutorial]. You will want to start sprinting once you crest the hill and are on the flat ground. Once you pass the bush on the ground, jump on the rock in front of you. Once you take a single step, jump straight forward. You will want to hit the very edge of the large boulder to get an edge slide, making sure to cancel sprint and crouch to not overshoot the rock. Jump and uncrouch as you hit the edge.
		+	====Flat Rock Method====
		+	Same as the [[#Boulder Edge Method\|boulder method]], jump at the bush and take one step on the rock, however, there is no need to cut sprint for this slide. Simply [aim here] while in sprint, and jump once you hit the rock. If you are overshooting the rock and hitting the ground, take a half step instead of a full step after you jump past the bush.

 This first trick only saves about 1 second, and recommend that all runners learning this level learn this grenade jump.

 ==Mission Start==
-Nightfall has a very simple route.  No kills are necessary and there is no driving, except for a few seconds.  There are a few grenade jumps, which can be seen in the IL record run.
+Nightfall has a very simple route with quite a lot of important mechanics that will be used throughout the remainder of the full game run. These mechanics include: grenade jumps, slide jumps, and sprint cycle management.  At the highest level, you will also be introduced to AI manipulations.
-The highlight of this level is a skip called the Forklift Skip.  When you hear "negative, stick a remote detonator on it," head for the forklift and drive it to the gate that Jun would normally open.  Align your forklift with the gate so that it is on your left side, you are parallel to the gate, and 6 is as close to where the gate opens as possible.  If youre in the right spot when you get out, you should clip through the gate when you get out of the forklift.  Once youve clipped, run to the end of the level, and you're done!
