Requesting to be added as moderator to the Wolfchild SMS page https://www.speedrun.com/wolfchild_sms. I have a run to be verified but the current mod has not been active for 3 months. I have tried to reach out through other mediums but the mod has not replied back.

Thanks in advance

Hi Zwataketa, The blessed weapon trick is you use a weapon strengthen scroll on a cursed weapon and it cleanses the curse and makes it super powerful.

In my opinion this trick isnt worth doing in a speedrun and here is why:

1. the game is highly randomized, each floor, potion, scroll, weapon drop, etc changes every new game. So there is no telling when or where a cursed weapon and strengthen scroll will appear. Plus with each type of weapon (lance, sword, axe) having their own type of stats I dont know if it would be worth doing on the Skull Lance because it has low attack damage vs the Golden Axe and you may be waiting a while to see the Golden Axe drop.
2. The blessed weapon trick will not work in conjunction with the unarmed axe damage trick which is equip an axe, drop it, and pick it up again but dont equip it and you will fight with better accuracy and the strength of an axe and you have to do this on every new floor to get the buff. With the cursed weapon if you drop it and pick it back up it becomes cursed again. So you'd need to cleanse it every floor. You could wait to use the blessed weapon trick until you get to final boss but then you'd be losing a second or two cleansing the weapon when you could be jabbing the dragon's face off.

In summary, with the unarmed axe trick being a must have I dont think it is worth doing in a run. But this is just my opinion and I havent done extensive testing to warrant it a viable option.

Hope this helps!

Oh hell yeah, I made you a mod in case you can get to it before I do. Thanks for letting me know.

All the older submissions have been timed using the official timing method. They were just using the time from the videos and I thought they needed a more accurate time.

Wow, awesome observation and thanks for sharing! I always assumed the 10910 intro is what would give you the most gains and always disregarded the slots (out of 100 some runs only got it a few times).
