An S-Rank Perfect Stealth, No Kills Speedrun for Episode 1: Phantom Limbs in 2:13.66

On paper this was a tough run to beat, but I got lucky and got it really quick. While I would like to have a more assertive win, I'll take this instead of spending a bunch of time on this mission. The previous record was set years ago and used the companion app to call the chopper, saving time from having to open up the i-Droid. While my in-game time is slower, this is the faster run going by real-time without loads.

Raiden can be tough to control, so I move a few feet with Miller before opening the i-Droid to make it easier to leave through the door. Otherwise I find Raiden to have too much momentum to turn the corner reliably.

Timing method:
Run starts - fade in (last dark frame)
Load 1 starts - fast-travel (iDroid screen disappears)
Load 1 resume - fast-travel (when railing is visible)

Load 2 starts - cutscene (first frame)
Load 2 resume - cutscene (last dark frame / gameplay resumes)
Run ends (door closes / online sync icon appears)

    Wow that was fast. I do not know why I never thought to use the Raiden fatigue for this mission. I am looking forward to your future videos!
