First sub-14 minute run and it was crushed. We got insane RNG stage 1. Tiger Amulet + Speed Scroll + 3rd stage weapon (with attack stat). Nearly 50 attempts.
Nearly gloded stage 1, missed Gan Ning Skip on Xia Kou, but otherwise gloded everywhere else. I made some errors here and there, but overall the levels played well and the fights were pretty good.
My Sum of Best Segments is now down to 13:04 - I think the run is very nearly optimized now. I think a 12:XX is definitely possible but would require such a grind without new strats - There are definitely some fight optimizations that still need to be tweaked. Setting up knocking officers off walls so they don't get knocked back, efficient juggling w/o getting hit. There's a lot of room to squeeze seconds out. Also getting Gan Ning skip would save about 6-7 seconds on its own.
