Small tips before you start the run: Making Navigation start on Lua. This saves around 2-3 seconds of the animation zooming out of another planet and onto Lua. It's done by starting a run on Lua and either aborting or completing it before hand, so last mission started is on Lua. It is possible to restart the entire quest before having completed the first mission, but if the first mission have been completed the entire quest will have to be completed again before a new run can be started. (If anyone knows of a way to restart the quest completely after first mission has been completed please tell me.) The mission is known for being quite buggy and crashes alot more than normal missions. So if you encounter a softlock alt-f4 and log back in fast. For this part it is ofc allowed to blacken / blur out your email in the login screen.
The War Within And How To Complete The Quest
How to practice:Most of this run is the exact same tileset all the way through, which means completing the quest a couple of times to learn the tileset is a good way to practice. Another way to learn the tileset is go start the quest and do each mission until extraction, but alt-f4 and redo instead of completing. That way you can redo individual missions if you're having a hard time with a specific one. Practice how to archwing and the archwing skip in "The Asteroid Field" mission. Everything explained under mission strategies.Practice the skip done in "The Ascent" mission.
The AscentOne skip is to initially throw your Operator off the cliff and dying, which will then unlock slide ability (if Saya's Vigil is completed). Another skip here is to get through the level a little faster. Use Void Dash to get over the cliff you would normally have to walk around. This can easily kill you, so practicing it a few time is a good idea (example). This saves alot of time since void dashing and abilities is normally locked before reaching the door and walking is extremely slow.The top choice is the apparent faster choice to choose.

Make sure always to have Escape Velocity active for extra sprint speed. A guide on how to use nova to speedrun is in the making. Any Primary and Secondary Melee: Telos Boltace (for it's bullet jump passive, which is always active even though the weapon is not equipped in the hand) Archwing: Itzal (highest sprint speed). Whatever archwing you use it's important to have a maxed [Hyperion Thrusters]( _Thrusters) on since this will make you fly faster.You can ofc use any setup you want, this is just the current meta for going fast and that's why it's recommended to new speedrunners.*How to practice:*Most of this run is the exact same tileset all the way through, which means completing the quest a couple of times to learn the tileset is a good way to practice.

Everything explained under mission strategies.Practice the skip done in "The Ascent" mission.# Mission Strategies*Investigate the Reservoir*The first trigger zone seems to always be a little delayed if you rush it, so waiting around might be a must. Afterwards capture the specter as fast as possible spamming x when it's going to save a few milliseconds and proceed to extraction.*Stalk Teshin*Rush to Teshins specter, capture it, and rush to extraction. After this, a conversation and dialog will have to end before you can proceed to next mission. Use this time to zoom into Sedna as this is where the next mission is. Saves the couple of seconds it takes to zoom out from previous planet and onto Sedna*The Asteroid Field*This is an archwing section be remember to have your archwing prepared (read "recommended setup" in the start of the guide for tips). In the start it seems the fastest way to move is by holding space and w at the same time while looking a little downwards. ([example]( =4m38s)).For the next part you would normally have to hide from lasers behind a grineer ship for 2 areas, but the second one can be skipped. The skip starts when the waypoint from the grineer ship changes to somewhere else inside a hole. You rush to the next lasers and die from them, after reviving you will get a short period of invulnerability. While this invulnerability active, hold down space and rush into the main ship and leave archwing. You will know it succeed if you succesfully leave archwing and regain control. After the invulnerable period you will die from being detected by the lasers when invulnerable, but because you triggered next waypoint when you left archwing, you will spawn inside and can proceed to the next mobile defense part ([example]( =6m7s)).After mobile defense part rush to extraction/entry to next stage, here you again need to go into archwing. Make sure you don't portal into the archwing part as this seem to always softlock the game!*Find the Queens*Take the three usbsticks from the computers and set them into the 3 computers they need to be in. Clearing the elevator seem to needed before you can activate (tip: use antimatter drop). Rush the way to the queens and watch the cinematic.*PURGE THE OPERATOR*When control of the operator is about to be given, spam mouse click to instantly sap the operator chair. Running in circles seems to make ordis hit you less. I haven't found any consistent way to get through the ship without sometimes getting stopped (Pray to RNGsus).*The Mountain Pass*Going up the hill as operator I the fastest way to get across the bridge seems to be by going forward and right while looking the direction you wanna go. After meeting Teshin it's important to know the point you have to hit with the beam is hittable from the side, so you don't have to walk all the way to the front of it.*The Fall*Routing in this part is difficult due to the seemingly random pattern of the Orokin worm. This will be added later as more research is made.Talking about your parents (top option) is the apparent faster choice to use.After getting Void Dash ability, be sure to micromanage the energy of your operator to use it efficiently to get faster through the level. Don't just spam as this can make you loose efficiency.*The Ascent*One skip is to initially throw your Operator off the cliff and dying, which will then unlock slide ability (if Saya's Vigil is completed). Another skip here is to get through the level a little faster. Use Void Dash to get over the cliff you would normally have to walk around. This can easily kill you, so practicing it a few time is a good idea ([example]( =31m12s)). This saves alot of time since void dashing and abilities is normally locked before reaching the door and walking is extremely slow.The top choice is the apparent faster choice to choose.*The Review*In this mission you're required to use different of the operators abilities and ordis will always ask you to do them in the same order. The order is:Void blast (spam e until it's done)Void dash (spam ctrl + space)Void mode / stealth mode (spam ctrl)Void beam (spam with mouse)*Face the Queens*This fight is pretty easy if you done any kuva farming and Operator amps do work here. Simply kill the guards, then the veins, then take the staff from the queens. Try not to destroy more than 3 braids at a time, as doing so will cause the AI to lag behind and you'll lose time waiting for it to catch up.Killing the queen is apparently the faster option.A softlock can happen here where the queens never become vulnerable (if you got info on how it's triggered pm me so we can't prevent others from experiencing it. My current theory is it happens when you run around them in operator form.)After that hurry out, door doesn't open instantly, so don't hug it since that will make it open later.*The Escape*Spam 5 before you load in to go to operator mode instantly. Go to the mission panel and spam x so next mission can start faster.*Return to Mountain Pass*Remember to micromanage energy to quickly go there without having to wait for recharge. Try saving up as much energy as possible to void dash as close to Teshin before abilities is disabled.Consuming the kuva seems to be the faster option.Good luck on your runs!
Making a new thread since I cannot find another War Within Quest bug that accurately describes my problem. I know there are countless posts about the quest restarting, or just appearing empty in the codex, but haven't found this specific problem.
