any% - All Essences (no D2 skip) The route uses the HeartRingL2 for safety. I also manipulated the L2 Power Ring for a quick (manipulated) Veran fight at the end. Optimally the HeartRing should be skipped, but D4, D5 and D6 can be pretty brutal.

Mod note: timer started late, ended early plus 4 manips for ~13 seconds difference
