==Speedrunning Tips and Shortcuts==
 
Note that it is best to complete the level in your own time first, finding your own route. For speedrunning, however, these tips might just shave a few seconds off your final time:
 
*At the very start of the chapter, you will be facing the boat. The route that is marked out it to your right, however, it is easier and saves time to simply jump onto a narrow vent below the ledge in front of you. From there, sprint, jump and swing onto one of the marked flagposts, then jump down onto the roof below. (Warning: skillroll needed here) From there, it's another easy jump down onto the pavement below and into the truck (Note that it is easier to jump off the roof and skillrole rather than take the marked pipe)
 
*After the mass firefight on Level 7/7A, you will enter a small room with a glowing red pipe. Upon reaching the top of the pipe, turn right instead of left and aim where the small gap between the vents is. A glitch allows you to jump straight through this vent and skip the tedious process of the marked route.
 
*Immediately after, you will enter a tall room. Aim yourself near the corner of the wall you've just come down and the joining wall to it's left. Wallrun off the small wall onto the tall wall, run up the wall and do a 180-degree-turn-jump onto the handrails, saving you valuable time. (See video link for demonstration)
 
*On the open deck of the ship, turn left instead of right and climb onto the catwalks near the lifeboats. After you climb the nearby ladder, turn to your left and you will notice a small bit of roof that sticks out from the railings. Follow it around the corner and you will save having navigate the trenches of the boat.

The Boat is the seventh chapter in Mirror's Edge.

Plot

After seeing the assassin who shot Travis Burfield and led her into a trap in the New Eden Mall on a camera, Faith Connors makes her way down the factory and hides inside a van which later drives into the boat's hold. When she gets out, she finds that the area is full of City Protection Force and finds an air vent which leads to the next area. After traversing the boat, Faith finds the person from the New Eden mall and gives chase up to the deck where they fight.

After Faith attempts to disarm the masked figure, they lead her into a chase and jump onto a zip-line down onto some cargo crates where round two ensues. At the end Faith takes off the mask to find Celeste Wilson under it. Celeste tells her that she had no choice and they were going to kill her.

Suddenly, SWAT team members find them and start shooting not knowing that some highly explosive barrels are next to them. Faith grabs Celeste's machine pistol and fires at the barrels, destroying the factory. During the firefight, Celeste escapes unharmed while Faith kills the officers and flees the scene.

During the final cutscene and while in the Shard 2 time trial map, the player can see the deck of the boat lit up from the top of the building.
