A really big and time consuming project, if literally anyone uses it, even if just for casual trophy hunting, I'll be happy :) I do believe the remake trophy list is wildly different so this will likely not apply to that, but some things can still be taken for that. The video itself will have timestamps for the majority of the important item pick-ups and the objectives you need to meet; I couldn't include ALL of them, apparently there's a limit to the timestamps that can show in the player slider on Youtube, so do make sure to listen to the video as well. The video has a Google Sheet that I personally use as notes at all times, that will always be the most up to date version of my attempts, but I will post the current notes below. NaxHPL shared his outline of notes months ago and that's been the basis of these, though with many, many edits and reorganizing since then; thanks Nax! The dashes is where I generally split. Enjoy and good luck o7

Recently, some disagreements took place within the staff of SpeedSouls that we were unfortunately unable to settle in an amicable way. As a result, we decided that it is better for us to migrate away from SpeedSouls and start a new community.
