Hi everyone,

its been a while, but I finally finished my Utraean Peninsula Speedrun! Once again, its segmented and thus not valid, but I could not resist a run with perfect items and unlimited retries O:-)

My reference was the existing Tenstone run which is not segmented but instead uses a level 66 starting character which is also prohibited. I was hoping that the techniques I used in my video would outperform the high level advantages, but in the end, the gap was just too big to catch up!

Nevertheless, I am quite happy with my result, so I will link it here together with the Tenstone run. Enjoy!

Best regards Balder

Hey,

you do not need to change the rules just because of me. All of your points only apply to my runs:

• they are in single player (everyone else used multiplayer)
• they are with 1.2 speed (only effective in single player)
• they are segmented (only possible in single player without resetting the ingame timer)

If you want to allow advantages like faster speed, saving and using companions, having the differentiation only between single player and multiplayer could be enough. That would automatically split all points in question from the existing runs. In addition to that, I do not see a big advantage between 1 and more players since the HP and XP scale up with the number of players (even though not exactly linearly), so they could be combined in my opinion!

Lets see what other opinions there are!

Hi everyone,

even though it is clearly stated in the rules that segmented runs are prohibited, I put quite a lot of time into running the main game aswell as the addon. And boy, did I segment the hell out of those games ^^

Without worrying about dying and with the certainty of getting exactly what you want from each merchant / chest, you can pretty much run through the game from start to finish without the leveling time that has to be spend in a legit run! This became possible with the introduction of new combat magic spells that both increase speed aswell as damage output!

I got the inspiration for that from the existing records by Alien who managed to play through both games in about 2 hours each while it took me about 20 hours to play the normal way! There is also an existing segmented run by LightningX who chose melee instead of combat magic to run through the game. He posted his run on another speedrunning site together with a very entertaining commentary!

If you want you can check out those runs, they may not be official records but they are still fun to watch, especially mine (hint hint ;-))

Best regards Balder
