Description

First speedrun i was working so hard upon (by my rookie standards ofc). Actually had a record 9:24 but my video was not captured (it was not happening before and since i'm trying to make sure it do not happen again). I really wanted to do sub 10 min run because before 9:24 it was 10:05, so close, had to do another 35 runs to get this one, oh man! So in total 67 runs and about 100 attempts with mini-runs/resets

Some strategies i was using:

  1. p1 on transitions to avoid blockages at first areas. For PoD i was testing exception of this rule because i was wasting a lot of time popping staff at p1 and blockages are actually rare (and also by my direct testing at the moment of last run it was 0 of 6 at least)
  2. Going to town at RoF because there you can be blocked very often + i wanted to have safety tps
  3. Using Cloak just for safety in general (esp good at CotD vs bats (stop following) and damned (stop shooting)) and for luring seal bosses out to kill them separately
  4. Using charge bolts for De Seis (much faster for all seal bosses actually, but really hard to pull off with Infector and especially with Visir, LS is safer option and better choice if there is big crowd) and Diablo (shout-out to LuckyLuciano, i don't think i would come to this option that quickly without his video :) Any mix with LS showed worse results btw so it's better to use only charge bolts vs Diablo)
  5. Pick up nearby pots to avoid going to town (esp if low on money), 1 time for whole run should be enough
  6. (not shown but always possible (and prob should be done tbh)) Can use death strats if area before seal is heavily crowded, should setup tp beforehand and then can kill seal boss at corner then die, can even save katar moving it to inventory if so desired :)

So yeah, happy to have this run finally :)
