I made a video essay about the Quest for Glory II Any% wrong warp route because I wanted to highlight how insane some of the tech is. At the end of that video I showed off this surprise, the new 1:10.467 world record.

I said in the video that a 1:09 is impossible with current tech, but that's wrong; it is actually doable. You need to tighten up the sleep framerule, you need to cut down on the pause between the mouse movement and the keyboard movement while skywalking on the final screens, and you need to tighten up the final two glides. With these a 1:09 is barely possible.

But there is also the absolute bullshit tech which can save 0.2 seconds that I never want to go for: it is technically possible to input Ctrl+C it while you're doing the pixel perfect Reset Point spellglide, rather than inputting it on the stable screen and then recalling it with space+enter. The problem is that this makes Reset Point—an already stupid screen—even dumber due to the way the input works. All I can say is good luck.

One day, someone will get 1:09, I have no doubt. Probably Santa, who has been on pace a few times as I recall. But for my own part, I'm probably done with this run.
