Gakiway

Others with more knowledge please improve this page. Any video examples would be helpful.

Gakiway is simply a modification to how Plains is completed in The Underworld Speed Clear. It is more of an advanced tactic but it is cool nonetheless. Gakiway is not an entirely different method of UWSC, and can be considered as supplementary tactics I suppose. It can be used within Terraway UW and other methods of UWSC.

Normally in UWSC when doing Plains (Not Gakiway) you can either semi-glitch or full-glitch. Please see T3 (UW) and T4 (UW) for more details.

In Gakiway the sole Banished Dream Rider at reaper spawn is not killed. Instead, a Gaki ally is spawned with a Mystical Summoning Stone to help the Reaper tank during the execution of The Four Horsemen quest.

First, the patrol at the Reaper area is spawned and you let it pass like usual. Next, the 3 Terrorweb Dryder (yellow)s and the Wailing Lords are killed which spawns the Reaper of the Chaos Plains. Note: the sole Banished Dream Rider is NOT killed. As soon as the reaper is spawned, you instantly take The Four Horsemen quest. There is a like 1 second time-frame from the moment the reaper is spawned that you can take the quest. He is spawned in aggro range of the sole Banished Dream Rider and will start attacking it after this 1 second time-frame. You will be unable to take quest and interact with reaper when he is in combat (unless you use GWToolbox++ of course. Next, you want to attack, not kill, the sole Banished Dream Rider and pop a Mystical Summoning Stone. I believe its best to pop it in between the reaper and Dream Rider. Then go on to complete The Four Horsemen quest as usual. The reaper + gaki will tank and slowly kill the sole Banished Dream Rider for the time being.

Around the time pool's side is done by the Ranger/Assassin, the Gaki and Reaper should have killed the Banished Dream Rider. Therefore, the reaper should be out of combat. This subsequently spawns 3 Mindblade Spectres on Pits side. Pits side should not have a problem with holding these for a few necessary seconds as they should be done as well. The quest will not update, and therefore the Reaper is not safe, until the Reaper is out of combat. That is, until the sole Banished Dream Rider is dead, and no other aggro is on the reaper.
