***Introduction to AQ
---------------------------***
This game is good and there's a lot of fun sidequests that never get completed in the any% route. This game is a nostalgia blast for me and I've always enjoyed long speedruns, so decided to give it a go. So in this route we'll do all the sidequests, most of which are located in chapter 2 and 3. 

***Guide Key
---------------------------***
- A dash will represent any basic gameplay action, deemed as important enough to be written about.
--- Three dashes will serve to explain about the line previous in more detail
¤ This symbol will represent a trick/glitch/or skip to be performed
--¤ More information about the previous glitch
> A greater than sign will represent a level up
--> More info about previous level up
} This symbol will be used to express a Gem equip
--} More detail about previous Gem equip

[Section=Route Overview]
The quests with alignment requirements are huge in shaping the decision making in this route. We end up going closed fist because it's faster than open palm.
