So I just did a run for Blackrock & Roll (Human 2) and I noticed that, after the fact, the peasants have a different starting point (I believe, I did not thoroughly test it). If what I say is actually true, then is there a rule on that you should skip immediately? Or could this just be part of the strategy?

Essentially, my question is that are we allowed to play through the game to get certain items to then do a single segment? Or do we have to start from the main menu and use whatever they give us?

And, for the latter, would this mean that if someone did a full campaign run, then that means their segment couldn't count even if it were the fastest, right? (excluding the first level obviously)
