This run is the culmination of a few months of practice, good metal slime luck, and help by the DQRTA community. Special thanks to anatoleu and thecowness for their help publishing their run notes, without them, this would not have been possible. Chapter 1 24:08 (second try Shadow)
Chapter 2 54:46 (VERY fast two metal slimes)
Chapter 3 41:55 (With a death to ducksbill)
Chapter 4 23:42 (Slow)
Chapter 5.1 29:13 (First try lighthouse)
Chapter 5.2 1:23:48 (19:38 8 metal babbles)
Chapter 5.3 1:14:43 (Pretty slow Necrosaro) This run has a pretty embarassing 5 minute mistake by forgetting to equip zenithian shield and dying in colossus. I plan on continuing to run until I get one without such a blunder.
(Moderator's note: emulator used is Mesen RTA. Retimed run submission to 5:40:27 -- was submitted as 5:40:28.)
