Well I got around to working on the other half of the run (that is, Howling Grotto and later) and it culminated in a nice new PB! I took my time down by about 3 minutes, despite an unfortunate death and a few hiccups. Also, sorry that you can’t hear me when I talk during the run, I left my game volume a little high by mistake :P

Manually removed load times:

Times: Final hit on the Arcane Golem occurs at: 31:46.98. Total load time: 13.34 seconds. Time without loads: 31:33.64.

Loads:

-1: Load after file name confirmation: 00:00.67 - 00:02.24 = 1.57 seconds. -2: Entering Autumn Hills: 01:42.67 - 01:44.00 = 1.33 seconds. -3: Entering Forlorn Temple: 05:33.59 - 05:34.92 = 1.33 seconds. -4: Entering Catacombs: 05:47.26 - 05:48.49 = 1.23 seconds. -5: Entering Bamboo Creek: 09:34.85 - 09:36.18 = 1.33 seconds. -6: Entering Howling Grotto: 11:50.64 - 11:51.82 = 1.18 seconds. -7: Entering Quillshroom Marsh: 15:54.91 - 15:56.38 = 1.47 seconds. -8: Entering Searing Crags: 19:34.75 - 19:36.11 = 1.36 seconds. -9: Entering Glacial Peak: 23:21.35 - 23:23.08 = 1.73 seconds. -10: Entering Tower of Time: 27:14.87 - 27:15.68 = 0.81 seconds.

Note: I changed the music in the game menu three times. I’ve been told this does count as part of the run. But just in case it’s not, here are the “load times” for changing the music: -1: Music change in Howling Grotto: 11:52.70 - 11:54.87 = 2.17 seconds. -2: Music change in Quillshroom Marsh: 15:57.20 - 15:58.57 = 1.37 seconds. -3: Music change in Tower of Time = 27:16.60 - 27:18.69 = 2.09 seconds.

Total music “load time”: 5.63 seconds. Total time without loads (load times & music change time): 31:28.01.
