Make sure all the enemies are dead, and then run at the wall, and then square for 2 frames and then triangle + circle + opposing direction.
I also do have a lot of skips and tricks uploaded to youtube. You should join the discord so I could show you some stuff.
Hmm where is all the timesave coming from? Hall of heroes' and loads? Or was something else found out?
I saw at least 30 different splices. Come on man ya gotta do better than that xD.
you should really join the discord so you can share more stuff with us
ill need to do it again, but i'm pretty sure it's slower. You should practice crystal caves knockback, that one is decently annoying.
The loop I use in tas is pretty quick (inputs are shown)
As for haunted ruins I meant from the start directly to the room with the crown in it. Also you can loop in the golem fight? didn't know that. As for enchanted earth you can knockback dash from the birds nest to the exit trigger, which maybe faster than the loop, but some testing needs to be done. It would have to be done faster than 13 seconds.
Also in this run, you can skip the small sword entirely, which is hilarious :D

Now as for the soldier spawn. No method works for the mednafan tasing core which sucks. The real strange thing is that on psxjin you can get away with spawning no soldiers at all, sadly this emu isn't approved for tasing any longer. I have discovered a method that works but is slightly slower, as the last soldier dies spawn 2, wait for them to die then spawn the other 2, and the game won't crash. From my understanding the soldier despawn does not work on console, and is a emulator only glitch. Mednafan is the most accurate emulator core out there and none of the versions of it allow the glitch to happen unfortunately. So I do have to go with the method that I came up with. On the upside I did manage to loop directly into the crown room in 1 loop in haunted ruins, and I do believe that you can finish enchanted earth without looping quite quickly.
