There is an error somewhere in these notes that I noted during my 2:45:00, but I don't recall what it is right now. There's probably simple stuff that I've omitted, so use my run as a reference point when things don't line up. 

Stuff like (LU) is a reminder that the menu action is a Left followed by an Up, except on the bandit/siren fight when it refers to which enemy (L for Left, R for Right, C for center). (Ds) means Down+select (i.e. menu glide or two downs). Empty brackets remind me that the menu option is at the top of the list.

T7: Fizz/Sleet/Def/Prism
T8: Def/Def/Atk (or Venus)/Nereid
 
Notes:
19<HP Mia after first fireball is a concern, consider nut
If Saturos targets Isaac on every turn he can die
If Isaac or Garet is <13HP after Fireball T3 then use the nut T4 or double herb.
If Isaac/Garet get hit by Heat Flash T2 use Nut
Heatflash on T6 does ~70 dmg to isaac, ~58 dmg to mia
Use Herb with Mia if isaac <35HP and mia <58 HP. Else heal with Ivan to survive.
4-3 Ivan = Ivan gets heat flashed on T5, (so +1 BRN) and Venus/Nereid T7

Obsoleted Stuff:
 
Not retreat warping in Suhalla Range is faster. Why? 22.71s leaving atm, 18.5s to leave with retreat warp
Frost takes 2.7 seconds roughly, no retreat warp needs 5 frosts (13.5s), retreat warp needs 2 (5.4s)
No warp has no extra frosts (can use heal and shit to drop PP), warp may need extra frosts to drop pp
No warp doesn’t need a reset (save like 14+s on this alone), can’t find a seed with the warp to work
 
So basically, until an encounterless seed is found in Babi lighthouse no warp is faster.
 
1ac Luff + save in last room also give unicorn seed
 
Statue puzzle: (1:07 time, RNG consistent)
Jupiter right (one square past goal), then down
Then Venus into position
Mars up then left into position

Disclaimer: notes were made for me benefit so if things don't make sense I can't take responsibility for that. Some basic syntax: (U) (D) (L) (R) up down left right respectively (used to know what menu inputs to make). Us Ds Ls Rs upup, downdown, ... respectively (s = select, Us means I press U then select to get two inputs).

Golden Sun Any% No S&Q Route Updates (June 2021 Edition)

These notes primarily rely on Highspirit's notes to form the basis of understanding for the route. This document serves to highlight the differences in the modern route from the HS notes for runners to pick up and incorporate when they are ready.

With testing from many people in the community (a_raphi, BOWIEtheHERO, Valyssa, PhutureX, and everyone who has done a run of the game!)

Outside of more explicit boss strategies, these notes are still pretty terrible for anyone other than myself.

Updated All Djinn route

Here is the route for Golden Sun All djinn as of 2015-2016.

It is however in private, so if you really need those notes you'll have to ask either Plexa or me through twitch for the access. Reason is we don't wat to share it with everyone, since watching a run can be enough, but if you are motivated enugh and show real interest then you can have it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14MDvE4Jztazr4zugTMNcbqve4txzAmaYVhPVJRwyzhQ/edit
