Start explanation and Tasty Meat manip stub

== Standard route ==

=== Start ===

~~Perform the standard~~ After performing [[AoS/Baselard_manip | Baselard manip]], the first portion of the route is focused on setting up for a 0HP glitch on the first Axe Armor. The 0HP glitch requires leveling up and dying on the same frame, so Soma needs to farm enough XP from enemies to be near a level up while also taking damage from them to lower his HP to near 0. The following table lists the XP and damage Soma receives at level 1 from each enemy:

~~TODO describe xp route and first save~~{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"|+ Caption text|-! Enemy !! XP !! DMG (clothes) !! DMG (no clothes)|-| Zombie || 1 || || |-| Bat || 1 || 1 || 6|-| Merman || 2 || 7 || 12|-| Tiny Devil || 8 || 19 || 24|-| Skeleton || 3 || 13 || 18|-| Killer Fish || 10 || || 18|-| Axe Armor || 10 || || 24|}

=== Tasty Meat manip ===Tasty Meat is needed to exit 0HP glitch state later to zip up to Floating Gardens. While any healing item would work, Tasty Meat is the only one available this early in the game. ==== Standard version ====Enter Reservoir and slash the Tiny Devil twice to kill it for 8 XP. Equip Baselard, unequip Casual Clothes, then suspend and reload. Holding left, perform a full jump at the top of the stairs over the Tiny Devil to fall into the corner below. Don't jump too late or the manip will break, even though you still land in the corner{{#ev:youtube|878yh_Y-Uo8|550}}TODO explain short knockback variant {{#ev:youtube|msaCQ0kEHUg|550}}TODO explain long knockback variant ==== Simple version ====
