This is probably the last major time save I'm going to get for a while. Some notes:

  1. I know I messed up pathing somewhere early. I think in the desert?
  2. Witch RNG was poor. You need her to appear one or two screens later.
  3. I believe my copy protection was a little bit slower.
  4. I still need to properly learn the visual cue for the locket.
  5. Harpies and HARP! I think what happens here is that Graham can't play it until they stop talking, which is why I kept getting confused on the positioning.
  6. I definitely messed up grate skip. I was supposed to wait until I was in the room with the grate to pull the iron bar out of my inventory.
  7. The source of the time save was bagging the cat in Mordack's bedroom. When you do this you only have to wait about a minute and a half instead of two minutes for Mordack to go to sleep. I believe this time save is worth the detour I took to bag the cat.

This time is a major milestone for me, because even though execution doesn't look perfect yet there's only two real avenues I can see to improvement:

  1. Memorize the copy protection.
  2. Stop making safety saves.
