Poisoned Hand and somber 3 from Balurat, 1-2-4-5-6 from Castle Ensis, beat Rellana while I progress there instead of taking another tour around the area. Get 7 and 8 from the forge after Rellana. 9 from Shadow Keep back entrance (Back entrance, because killing hippo takes too much time, it's more Scadush and runes, but didn't seem any better than going straight from back entrance). Go to Rauh, get Scadush along the way, open bug's grace, kill Messmer, kill the bug, enter Enir-Ilim. Rest is pretty straight forward.

Route is around 50 mins if you can play optimized, but it's hard to do, since you need a lotta damage, because of lack of scadushes, you can't really choose to invest in Vigor. I managed to get to Radahn at 88lvl without collecting anything to level up especially. I start with Lands Between Rune keepsake, and 2 shadow runes on my route, barely enough to use (28 arcane for)Poisoned Hand after upgrading it to +6.

I wish there was a Stranded run category, maybe a save file edited by moderators and must be used in the run instead of self-made stranded characters. I think finding out optimal routes with only DLC items, runs using outside of bloodhound's or death's poker, would be fun.

Categories are added based on sufficient natural demand for them. If there's enough people to warrant adding a new category, we'll ensure to discuss with the mods to add it.
