Board-Nade Glitch

This is a glitch which allows the player to plant a grenade in a boarded vehicle instantly upon boarding. It is performed by pressing nade+board (Lt+X on default controls) simultaneously whilst in range to board a vehicle. This trick is important to the run as it is used on Metropolis, Regret and The Great Journey.

Metropolis

When boarding the wraith in the street section this trick will be used on both easy and legendary. On easy the nade-board glitch will do enough damage to allow the wraith to be destroyed in a single melee. On legendary it will do enough damage to allow the wraith to die in three melees, followed by a second nade and finished with one more melee.

Regret

The board-nade glitch can be used on the Prophet of Regret himself. On easy, performing this trick will allow him die in a single melee. On legendary, performing the trick followed by a single melee will cause him to perform his teleport, this is opposed to four melees without the board-nade glitch.

The Great Journey

On this level there are multiple brute-controlled wraiths. On easy, the trick is performed to kill the two wraiths near the start of the level as well as the first of three wraiths in the section after Johnson has boarded the scarab. On easy the wraith can be taking out using just the board-nade glitch, no melees required. On legendary, for a fast IL you may choose to take out the two wraiths at the start of the level using the board-nade glitch followed by two melees, this is faster but more risky than the full game method of deloading these wraiths.
