A technique to break out of two different navigation actions/prompts. I first discovered it at vault points, thanks to Pico for informing that it also works jumping over gaps.
---
0:00 - Normally, Kratos should be uninterruptible during actions like small climbs, jumping over gaps, etc. to prevent all manner of glitchiness. However, Frost Awaken III at a precise timing can overlap the navigation action, interrupting it when it resolves.
First example is at gaps. Different gaps require a different timing. I think this is because each gap has a slightly different relative placement of the invisible wall preventing Kratos from passing through until he jumps vs the invisible trigger which compels Kratos to start the jump.
So, in order for this break-out to work in a way that leaves Kratos inside the gap boundary, the invisible wall and trigger have to be very close together. If they're too far apart, it becomes harder - or completely impossible - for Kratos to go through the invisible wall during the few frames he is jumping before he breaks out of the action.
Common troubleshooting: if Kratos does Frost Awaken III without leaping, your timing was too early. If Kratos leaps without doing Frost Awaken III, your timing was too late. Frost Awaken III must activate precisely at the first frames of the jumping action... or else!
1:09 - Here's an example with vaulting. Unlike gaps, any point of the vault animation will overlap and can be interrupted with Frost Awaken III. But that still doesn't mean that finding the best timing is easy, since the purpose of this break-out is to cancel the vault at its exact middle point, so that Kratos ends up on top or inside the vault point (biggest OoB potential).
I think it's possible to very slightly delay the activation of Frost Awaken III if you let go of 'recall' and press it again during the time window for Frost Awaken III. Knowing this might help at some vault points.
(Not on the vid: I think Frost Awaken III works with the smallest climb animation as well. Sadly, breaking out of it is not very useful. The bigger climb animations don't overlap with recalling, which makes this technique impossible to use there.)
