How to Solve a 5 by 5 by 5 Rubik's Cube

Intro (5).jpeg
In this Instrucable you'll learn how to solve the 5 by 5 by 5 rubiks cube. First I wanted to say, that I'm german, so f I have any spellingmistakes please tell me. I also wanted to say that I invented all movements at my one exept of the special case.

Before You Begin

Before begin Beginning you should know what the movements mean. If there are only the letters turn it clockwise, if there is the letter and ' turn counterclockwise. The directions "FC", "SC" and "UC" will come with arrows (→↓←↑)

Scramble

Center Cross

Step 1 1 (5).jpeg
Step 1 2 (5).jpeg
Step 1 3 (5).jpeg

It's finally time to start! Just follow the pics.

Step 6 3 (5).jpeg
Step 6 4 (5).jpeg
Step 6 5 (5).jpeg
Step 6 6 (5).jpeg

Now you'll start solving the centerpieces of the second layer. You'll have to solve first the edgecenterpieces, then the cornercenterpieces.
The algorithm of the first pic is:
F2 d' F2
The algorithm of the second pic is:
d2 F R d F' d' F d F' d' F R' F'
The algorithm for the third pic is:

The algorithm for the fifth pic is:
Uu d F' L' d' F d F' L F Uu'

Compleating the Second Layer

Step 7 1 (5).jpeg
Step 7 2 (5).jpeg
Step 7 3 (5).jpeg
Step 7 4 (5).jpeg

It's time to compleat the second layer.
The Algorythmus for the first pic is:
D' L' D' L D F D F'
The Algorythmus for the second pic is:
D F D F' D' L' D' L
The algorythmus for the fird pic is:
L' D' L D F D F' D L' D' F D F D F'

Centerpieces of the Third Layer

Step 8 1 (5).jpeg
Step 8 2 (5).jpeg
Step 8 3 (5).jpeg

Now you'll solve the centerpieces of the third layer.
The algorythmus of the first pic is:
F' Ll' d' F d F' Ll F
The algorythmus of the second pic is:
d' F Rr d F' d' F Rr' F'

Compleating the Third Layer

Step 9 2 (5).jpeg
Step 9 1 (5).jpeg

It's time to start the fourth layer!
The algorythmus of the first pic is:
F Rr UC↑ U UC↓ U2 UC↑ U UC↓ Rr' F'
The algorythmus ofthe second pic is:
l' U2 l U l' U l

Now you'll finish the fourth layer.
The algorythm for the first pic is:
D' F RrUC D F' D' F RrUC' F'
The algorythm for the second pic is:
UuFC d' F' LlUC' D' F D F' LlUC F

Swapping the Cornerpieces

Step 12 1 (5).jpeg
Step 12 2 (5).jpeg

Now it's time to swap cornerpieces. They don't have to be turned correctly, just swaped correctly.
The algorythmus is:
B U B' U' B' R B R'

Turning the Cornerpieces

Step 13 1 (5).jpeg
Step 13 2 (5).jpeg

It's time to turn the cornerpieces. The algorythmus is:
L U' L' U L U' L' D L U L' U' L U L' D'

Swapping the Center Edgpieces

Step 14 1 (5).jpeg
Step 14 2 (5).jpeg

Now you'll start swapping the edgepieces. It doesn't matter how they are tilted.
The algorythmus is:
UC↑ U' UC↓ U2 UCt U' UC↓

Tilting the Center Edgepieces

Step 15 1 (5).jpeg
Step 15 2 (5).jpeg

Now it's Time to tilt the center Edgepieces.
The algorythmus is:
L FC→ L2 FC2 L U' L' FC2 L2 FC← L' U

Putting the Rest of the Edgepieces Into the Right Possision

Step 16 1 (5).jpeg
Step 16 2 (5).jpeg
Step 16 3 (5).jpeg

Now comes the most complecated step. You'll have to put the rest of the edgepieces into the right posisson. You'll have to make first edgepiecepairs with opposit colors. You'll have to switch edgepairs to switch the edges correctly. You'll find everything on the pics.
The algorythmus for the first pic is:
r U2 l' U2 l U2 r' U2 l' U2 l U2
The algorythmus for the second pic is:
l' r U' l r' U2 l' r U' l r'

Tilting the Edgepiecepairs

Step 17 1 (5).jpeg
Step 17 2 (5).jpeg

Your finally at the last Step! You just have to tilt the edgepiecepairs.
The algorythmus is:
R u' d R2 u2 d2 R U' R' u2 d2 R2 u d' R' U

Special Case

Step 18 1 (5).jpeg

You'll sometimes have a special case, that only one edgepair has to be tilted.
The algorythmus is:
r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2
