Now do Harun channel [don't talk to Ihan after returning to Harun village]
Then return for the eye (saves 9 seconds) (run out don't retreat out after getting eye)

Grip over Move when needed.
Grip chest = umbra gear, growth chest = mimic DONT FIGHT IT
Get shell then backtrack (don’t retreat!!)

Lonely Island Ruins: (Slap/Grip) Swap in second party at eclipse world and try to run from all fights until they’re dead Fights need all psynergy probably Soldiers weak to Venus, otherwise use Jupiter Left door correct path

Burning Cave: (Slap/Grip) Run from boat fights Stuff weak to Jupiter mostly Go right upon entering cave Thermal to L after first Thermal Die outside Burning Cave to warp to Tonfon REVIVE ONLY FIRST FOUR WITH HIMI

Snowdrift Shrine: (Thermal/Grip) Eclipse monsters: Need max psynergy, try to run from 1 monster Snowdrift monsters: Mid-tier psynergy, except Grislys (400HP+) Drop down second shoot Left, Right Left

Iceburg Outpost: (Thermal/Grip) En route deaths are acceptable, as such run from everything Iceburg after the big one is cue to enter eclipse Go right when you get on the house!!!!!! Standby all djinn upon leaving and try your best to die! (defend or attack, not sure which is quicker right now)

Tonfon: (Thermal/Grip) Revive with Himi Go through palace bullshit Grab all items (yay psynergy crystal) Equip: Sveta: Umbra Gear + Zol ring (?) Heal Himi’s psynergy with crystal

Yamata (Thermal/Grip) Kill the stuff on the land, yes, even dirges Skip Sizzle Fights: weak guys: 250hp, gryphon/plant 500 After red tablet, dodge the damn teleporter First puzzle: middle to left, right to middle, left to right (in this order) Second puzzle: left to middle, mid to left, right to right Grip when coming back!

Endless Wall (Thermal/Grip) Fights: Everything is 500hp+ so full attacks Route this properly!! Hotkey Crush over Thermal at first chance. In second area, run around before doing the grips!!!!! Third room: go all the way left first Skull room: Eyes first, then forehead, then nose Use track... there are two possible paths

Apollo Sanctum (Crush/Grip) Mars door: easy Jupiter door: chest = psynergy crystal, get it! Mercury: down first, move statue (no grip!) Venus: make disk roll first, [skip this] then climb down ladder to collect Aurora

Apollo Lens Left, Right then Top!!!!! (quicker sol blade) Fights: Strong psynergy

Djinn Setup: [remark; shouldn't order be like karis/sveta/amiti/himi or smth?] Karis: 3J+3Me, Torrent is one of the Me djinn, Kite one of J djinn. Sveta: 5 V + any J (e.g. sirocco) Amiti: 5Ma + Shell Himi: Full V, incl Bark/Chasm/Chain

Second party is just setup x3 Eclipse + Meteor.

Rief: 2Me+3J SB
Matt: 2Me+3J SB, 
Tyrell: 2Me+3J SB
Eoleo: 4Ma SB + whatever else

Items: (probably not optimal) Sveta: Umbra + Zol Ring Karis: Lady Moon's ring, Ninja Garb Amiti: Elven shirt + water of lifes Himi: Kimono

Chaos Hound (Karis/Sveta/Amiti/Himi) Kite/Beastform/Shell/Weap Grace Torrent/Slam+Slam/Wish/Chasm Def/Slam/Frostbite/Chain (FB is in case of dmg range, if Vial T2 going to need another and use bark with Himi here instead)

Chaos Chimera Retibution, djinn blast or a bad stun can just wreck your day here. Such is the life of speedrunning.

Strategy: Himi weapons grace Sveta, then Chasm/Bark where needed Sveta spams speed punch where ever possible. Pack defence is useful when shit hits the fan. Try to avoid using Eclipse except when it will kill. Karis summons Eclipse where ever possible. Have Karis prepped with an Eclipse with Kite returning first to setup a double speedpunch on Sveta. Amiti Shell to complete Karis' first eclipse, has water of life, can use wish well when needed, swapped with other party members to summon eclipse Other party members; summon venus/ramses to refresh Himi's djinn

Best case scenario fight: Eclipse/Beastform/Shell/Weap Grace [swap tyrell in for amiti] Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Chasm [swap matthew in for tyrell] Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Bark [swap rief in for matthew] Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Chasm (Dead)

One Shadow Shield warrants an additional speed punch.
