Hey anyone that has ran this game before! I am currently learning the Any% NG (Current Patch) run (up to Immortal Enemy so far). While I am generally good with the challenges up to this point, I was wondering if any of the former runners had a google doc or sheet with any of the recommended challenges to get and backup challenges to get (especially if you don't get things like wanderer and some of the combat challenges). I know PenAgain has a guide on this but it is pretty outdated.

I learned just by repetition. Watching PenAgain's run, using his guide, as well as the runs for Purrgames and Raelcun. Being good at melee combat is crucial. While some challenges are missable, even in a poor run where you get the bare minimum on challenges, you NEED at the very least two 25 combo challenges(remember 25's are repeatable) I learned that the hard way. You don't need the 3 enemies in a storm. That happens at the very beginning of the game but you can skip it. You don't need the Eight Insignias, the wanderers, 5 side-ram, the 3 vehicles destroyed while driving the buggy. The latter three do help if you do get them though, no lie. I made a "how to speedrun Mad Max" that's on my youtube. Even though I made that back in May there's a few changes that I've done when compared to my new record run. Remember, Getting Hit kills time, Dying kills time, your car exploding, Bad Movement(getting stuck, standing still, spinouts, walls) It's just a learning curve. You'll get there eventually. Mad Max is a very straightforward game because it doesn't have any gamebreaking glitches or major skips. Just beat the game as fast as you can
