M7 Turbo OFF Target LRT - sub 2:10

M7 Turbo ON Target LRT - sub 2:50

Mission 7 is one of the hardest inertia skip missions. This mission has lots of precise inertia movement with M7 Forest Skip being a big run killer. Depending on the skip you are doing, here's what to look out for:

Turbo OFF - Start the mission like this if you are on 120 FPS. You need to have turbo OFF to perform this version of the skip.
Turbo ON - This route is generally for 60 FPS. You will perform this this version of the skip, but it'll be over the platforming section with Mephistos.

Before you start, you should have Calibur and Air Hike now since they are absolutely required for the skips. With an optimal no damage route, you should be able to skip a menu here. Aim to no damage this mission.

If you are doing this mission with Turbo OFF, turn Turbo ON before starting Mission 8.

Mission 7 (Turbo OFF)

This version of the mission performs the 120 FPS exclusive M7 Forest Skip with Turbo OFF.
Be sure to grab the Holy Water on the cliffs. You can attempt Reversals here (hard).
For the Ruined Church cycle, shoot the further away Chimera Scarecrow with a CS3 and DT → Aerial Buster the rest of the enemies. Depending on the Snatch level you have, you may have to do a different approach. If you DT Cancel during a Snatch, you will not get the DT transform animation.
M7 Forest Skip is a big run killer skip, with precise inertia movement. You will lose at least 30 seconds from each fall. Learn the classic CS version before considering Calibur version of the skip.
On the Divinity Statue, it is recommended for newer players to buy some purple orbs to get a more consistent cycle on Echidna. I recommend buying 2 purples instead of 3 so you can get a DT refill in Mission 8. Otherwise, just run past the Divinity Statue.
Refer to a more detailed explanation of Echidna here. Be careful when CS3'ing at the beginning as you need to quickly get to her to stun her before she flies away. Try to get a DT Buster on the stunned Echidna and spam Exceed and Shoot buttons respectively.

Mission 7 (Turbo ON)

This version of the mission does the old M7 Forest Skip with Turbo ON.
Be sure to grab the Holy Water on the cliffs. You can attempt Reversals here (hard).
For the Ruined Church cycle, shoot the further away Chimera Scarecrow with a CS3 and DT → Aerial Buster the rest of the enemies. Depending on the Snatch level you have, you may have to do a different approach. If you DT Cancel during a Snatch, you will not get the DT transform animation.
You don't have to activate the Dial. You can just go straight for the skip. Although if you mess up the skip, you will spawn at the beginning instead of next to the Dial.
In this version of the mission, you will do the Ancient Plaza fight cycle, move a Gyro through some walls and run away from Echidna.
On the Divinity Statue, it is recommended for newer players to buy some purple orbs to get a more consistent cycle on Echidna. I recommend buying 2 purples instead of 3 so you can get a DT refill in Mission 8. Otherwise, just run past the Divinity Statue.
