Purpose(s):

4trus is a very new method for 4x4 invented by Owen Smith. This method is intended to be used by petrus solvers, so that they can achieve some of the advantages of yau whilst using petrus but also not having to use redux. The steps are fairly simple, more simple than that of 4x4 ZZ methods but not as simple as Yau. You make the F2C like yau, and if you’re color neutral, you can use any centers instead of just the white and yellow.

Just like many recent methods, nobody uses this method. The creator himself does not use petrus, so he does not even use this method.

Steps

  1. F2C. If you are color neutral, then these do not have to be the white and yellow centers.
  2. Place 2 cross edges and the edge that has the same colors as those edges. This will be explained further.
  3. L4C just like Yau
  4. Place your final edge into the d layer. This can be another cross edge or one edge that has at least one color relative to your first two cross edges. This will be explained further.
  5. Finish pairing edges. Any edge pairing method can be used, although I recommend 3-2-3.
  6. Assemble your 2x2x2 with the pieces in the bottom and then expand to 2x2x3 with the other lone piece in the bottom.
  7. Petrus style EO
  8. Finish F2L
  9. COLL
  10. EPLL+Parity
