Any% 1.2.0 guide

Creating a character
Max out dodge it is overall better than parry because parry only works for melee attacks
Max out health. Since you will be dumping all of your points into intellect you will need extra health
Race, look, name, victory quote, and taunt quote do not affect anything
Levels 1-4
Start by going to the magic shop and do the infinite gold glitch you do this by selecting a spell clicking inventory then buy it. it will give you the gold as if you sold it. The amount of gold you will need for the whole run will probably be a little less than 1 million depending on the items you buy.Also you need to buy the first 3 spells for lightning. Lightning is the best early game because the 2nd spell has the same MP as the first but does more damage.
Grind your way to level 4 then the fearful prisoner should be a cakewalk.
Levels 5-7
Grind. Pigsus may give some trouble just remember when he is close push him away he will swing and hit the air this is true for all melee bosses.
Levels 8-9
Grind until level 9 then fight xanfar he should give you no trouble.
levels 10-12
.When you beat Xanfar and level up after you use your skill points where it shows the scrolling message exit out of the game and open it again. while the game is loading during the fingerprint logo you can mouse over where the buttons are and load your gladiator before the logo finishes this saves a bit of time.Anyways repeat this process until you are level 12
levels 12-14
At level 12 fight obliterator 9000. I used to do it at level 10 but you had a pretty high chance of dying but at level 12 it is basically impossible since you three shot him. Do the same glitch you did with xanfar until you are level 14
.
Levels 14-17
At level 14 you should fight Mr. Omazing he may give you some trouble but just keep fighting him until you get good luck once you beat him do the same glitch that you did with obliterator until you are level 17
Level 17 to endgame
It is crucial that at level 17 you find an enchanted weapon or armor to do the skills over 10 glitch some enchantments to look out for should be any type of mastery with weapons ex. axe sword etc. along with critical mastery. Also magic abilities but mostly only necromancy because no boss except xanfar have full necromancy resistance. some to avoid would be abjuration mastery, juggernaut, immovable, and lightning mastery because the final boss takes no damage from lightning spells once you find some good weapons/armor do the skills over 10 glitch by going to inventory equipping the item pressing the inventory button then the skills button. Do this until you feel it is high enough then fight the yeti project. once you beat the Yeti project the rest of the game should be a breeze except for the final boss I would suggest near the end of the run putting points in elemental resistance and buying the spell lightning resist to negate most of the damage from ultratus omega's spells.

Temessong EDIT:
Start searching for enchants around lvl 10-15, Those you should look out for is:
Archeology (until 15 skillpoint using skillpoint glitch, 20 screws you totally.)
Necromancy Mastery (90 skillpoints there and you are on a good spot, ofc more is better)
Armourer and Robust contribition are good sometimes if you fear that you get oneshotted,
Elemental Resistance (only buy if you manage to see one, not a priority but helps alot)
Essence/Arcane Lore
Always go full intellect, maybe if you have robust contribition you can put some to vitality, but ONLY after you have around 30 skill points in intellect.
Immovable is NEEDED to avoid! Since sometimes the bosses push you for no reason, and if you dont move they can hit you after it.
Dodge mastery is also decent.
DO NOT BUY FIRE MASTERY!! The few last bosses get (Fallen emperor Antares, The Great Beast) extra Armor because it deals negative damage, its a bug in 1.2.0 I guess. Only if fire mastery is at high level (over 60)
Necromancy mastery is tier 1, Frost mastery Tier 2 (so you can get about 30-40 skill points onto that if you dont get necromancy mastery early on.)
Also, shops reset after every level up glitch, since you close the game, so be aware of that.
Hope you have many good runs!

Lil_Broomsticc's guide to 1.2.0 speedrun

Make your character the 2nd most small so you have max dodge(+10%) while only having -9% in parry. We chose this because dodge can be performed without weapons. Make your character the 2nd fattest it can become so you have the 5%HP bonus, as speed does not affect anything in-game. 
Put all your skill points into intellect and always skill intellect when u can select 2 skill points!

The first thing to do when spawned is to give yourself enough gold for the rest of the run. Do this by doing clicking on a spell (in the little kid spell shop) and then selling it to him. Repeat this until you have more than a million coins.

When in the spell shop, buy the first 4 spells of lightning and 4 other spells of choice (I prefer necro-spells)
We buy lighting because the 2nd spell isn't coded correctly, costing 50 magika while still doing the original damage. Make sure to also equip these spells before going in your first fight!

Challenge the middle gladiator in the colosseum (should be 1 shot with the 2nd lighting spell) to level up.
Buy the best armour at level 2 and go ahead and challenge the first arena champion.

Small intermezzo: Once you defeat an arena champion, u level up and get to use your skill points. After acquiring your new skills a small outro text appears for that chapter saying you killed the boss. While in this screen you can exit the game and remain your skill points and level up while the game thinks you haven't beat the boss. We use this up to the yeti project to level up at a reckless pace. I will refer to this technique as champion-farming.

1. Fearful prisoner: use your best spell, sleep and use another spell. Should be a walk in the park. Farm prisoner until you are level 5 (don't close game when u kill him and level up to level 5).

After getting level 5 from the prisoner, go buy yourself some new fresh armour and a shield if you're lucky.

2. Pigfull the trader: Use only the II spells and push him whenever he can attack you. This fight does require decent to good RNG to win but should be doable. Farm Pigfull until you reach level 8. 

Go buy the best armour you can get your hands on at level 8. Go look in the cheap armour store, the expensive one and a new shield/helmet.

3. Xanfar The haunted: The worst boss IMO.  I haven't found a solid strategy for him yet but make sure to time your pushes and cast spells. Farm Xanfar until you reach level 11.

No need to go and buy a new set of armour, straight to 9000.

4. First trail - 9000: Just use your best spells in high to low order. Farm until level 14.

Go buy the best armour at level 14.

5. Mr Omazing: again use your best spells. Farm until level 17.

Now comes a key part of your run. Finding a spell mastery to abuse.
Look for enchanted gear or weapons with a spell mastery. Look out for Frost Mastery, Poison Mastery and (the best) Necromancery mastery.  Don't bother with fire or lighting since a lot of bosses have 100%+ resistance. 

Once you have found your item, equip it and press the most left icon on the inventory screen (the one u use to inspect your skill tree). I don't know why but every time you click the skill tree, the game gives u +1 or +2 in the mastery you have equipped. Repeat this glitch until you have 100+ in a spell mastery. Don't forget to buy and equip the spells you have mastered. You can also equip 4 other spells at the same time, being Gale, Hex, Sluggish and Impervious.
