What about a category that u have to skip all magics and BoA?
The beginning (until pandora's temple) should be almost like any% ng+, starting with tycoonius allow us to skip medusa's gaze and zeus' fury with the swimming glitch.
Skipping BoA kill most part of the glitches used in any% ng+ but some of the minor skips can be surprisingly done with BoC, cliffs of madness and the architect's tomb cant be skipped.
A run like this will be a kind of mix between any% ng+ and easy glitchless, besides the final battle and the clones will be harder because you just have BoC.
Ok, i will try someday, when i finish the run i will post the splits and some comments about it here ;)
Ok, so this run in particular was bad, i think the average time should be around 1:44:00 +/- Without BoC and medusa's gaze some simple glitches become annoying to do, like that rope skip right before the minotaur, besides the mistakes i have done in this run, it was pretty fun to do it in general, i recomend trying this category.

As it is known, God of War 1 on PAL (European) and NTSC-J (Japanese) versions has some cutscenes that are censored. These censored cutscenes are shorter than the ones on the original NTSC (American) version, which means runners playing on these versions are at an advantage. Specifically, glitchless
