Notes for Every Level in Any% (No Clips)

These were notes I made before the level six Raptor Clip and the level thirteen Knight Clip were found using the old world record as a pointer. As it helped me when I started running, I feel that posting it here might help newer or derusting runners, so here are my Any% notes:

set difficulty to dream and turn off vibration before run

1.
- just run through the portals, the level really is nothing more than walking
2.
- don't do gumball machine, just go to right and climb the blocks
3. 
- in first huge room, jump on a leaf on the ground level, then ledge grab a platform
- grab two explosive arrows for shooting crystal section
4.
- to find sticks, will never need to burn walls, basically go straight and take a left after you're forced to take a right
- get all eggs/sticks, then return them
- stick behind blast wall behind waterfall, blast wall in a crevise, on platform near lava
5.
- get the closest stone last so that you are near the door when you get the last stone
6.
- puzzle goes up, right, up, right, forwards, left, down
7.
- lightning stone takes 4 hits to activate
8.
- don't wait for anything with lava, just take the damage like a bitch
- don't waste time attacking enemies
9.
- don't wait for black squares, just run through it
10.
- don't kill extra enemies, don't hit extra buttons
- only need to hit button to destroy the robot and open the path
11.
- smoke pillars = explosive arrows
- if you fall, kill yourself asap
- miniboss waits a bit to be open to hits, just collect fire arrows and spam
12.
- run to middle right platform, shoot middle right shield, shoot top right shield halfway when the platform is rising, pick up water arrows, shoot at dragon, get off right middle platform and onto right front platform, get explosive arrows, shoot at dragon
13.
- for 2nd card, no need to go on roofs; follow left path and walk up stairs for 2nd card
- for 3rd card, no need to go on roofs, navigate back to main room, follow right path, enter northeast courtyard, go up stairs and across to the other building, take a right out of the building and follow the path for 3rd card
- for 4th card, navigate bath to main room and go down left path; follow same path as before but don't go up the stairs and just continue on ground level for 4th card
-navigate back to main room after getting all cards and you can just run through to the end
14.
- just run through; lion levels are easy
15.
- in statue room, just jump to floor and exit right entrance
- you can break crates and statues and stuff
16.
- don't forget the puzzle in the floating stone room
- need ghosts to be present before you jump in the rings
- rooms with torches lead to not-small rooms
- attacking rocks will break them
17.
- just make sure to not miss the t-bones
- break crate near light arrow door for light arrow
18.
- just make sure to have a clear line of sight before shooting an arrow, let autotarget do the rest
19. 
- explosive arrow or trident arrow the enemy pods to break two at once
- get rid of all special arrows before energy ball room, destroy energy balls with trident arrows, as one of the trident arrow pickups will infinitely drop them as you use them
20.
- grab a lightning arrow, go to and grab piercing arrow, the lightning arrow to the right of piercing arrow (right facing the boss), then get like six lightning arrows from the stack. go to piercing and back to the lightning to get at least ten, then go back to piercing and turn off barrier (should have 3 trident arrows & 10 lightning arrows at least)
