All Bosses route

Any% Route

I use heavy weapons for any%:
-before fforwarding sirus/isa dialogue, pause and spin 3 wheels, reset unless you get a good 2h weapon or 10k+ from selling gems. (bare minimum you should have the Imperial (9,250) after finishing the tutorial)
-once out of tutorial, buy and equip the Imperial (unless the wheels gave something better)
-at this point, collect all chests and most money bags (dont waste time) and save up for Granite Hammer
-go through the game, Thane, Thane>Archivist, keep saving until 29,750 for Granite Hammer
-After Archivist, go straight to MX-Goliath, you should definitely have GraniteHammer before Goliath fight
-For Goliath Fight: Use the large health regen pot.  Take damage as much as possible to charge the stun (usually you can get 2 to 3 stuns in).  Try and block the last hit or two of an attack string to charge the stun and also get a break.
-After MX-Goliath, go straight to Stone Demon, Use big key on the chest there, if you get the gold drop, buy the Iron Stone and stop worrying about collecting gold, otherwise use your best judgement on what to spend on for the rest of the run.
-During the cutscene of reaching into the hole to open the seal, force quit and restart the game, this will let you continue on to thane without restarting the castle.  
-Proceed and beat Thane and then Raidriar, raidriar has no attack element, so dont be afraid to block if you're not comfortable getting parry breaks, that also goes for using a shield pot or not, also if you don't know Raidriar's stepbacks very well, two of them can be completely blocked with just the middle block.

Tutorial guide

Here's some things I've figured out for doing the tutorial quickly:
General stuff:
-first two enemies, wait and react to the "block" or "dodge" to appear before pressing the button.  The game doesn't let you until a moment after so dont try to anticipate.
-when you get into a battle, or just got out of a cut scene, attack them (swipe) asap and force them to block.  This will make their next attack string come out quicker.
-don't attack during the bonus xp at the end of fights, it will make the bonus time last slightly longer.
-don't bother equipping anything, because the game unequips everything when you complete the tutorial.
-Spin the 3 wheels at the beginning of the tutorial and reset unless you get a good 2h weapon or a pricey gem to sell (10k or more).  

First enemy:
-Don't scratch
-always block break
-3 hit combo, then another 3 combo after cutscene

Second enemy:
-Don't scratch
-3 hits (no combo), then parry break, 5 hit combo

Third enemy:
-the goal is 7 scratches before the second cutscene.
-one scratch before first parry, two before second, two before third.  Be careful to not attempt scratch too early after a parry or he will block, allowing only one scratch.
-4 hit combo will trigger first cutscene, then scratch asap for second cutscene, being careful not to make him block.
-a parry break in final stage of the fight, then 3 attacks in same direction to finish him off quickly.
-grab the potion to the right after the fight.

Fourth enemy:
-one scratch only, parry break, then 5 combo.
-when you use the super attack, ignore the stabs and do a 3 hit combo (barely triggers 2nd cutscene)
-use ice, parry break, then 3 normal attacks

Saydhi:
-avoid the magic however you want, but you must parry her overhead attack to get parry break.
-5 hit combo
-another 5 hit combo to finish
