New findings

I was thrilled to see competition and bug discoveries recently. This led me to glitch hunt a lot. I resorted to spamming (whispering) Anerag on twitch but I think in the future I want to put everything else I find here.

I added a guide "Hotkeys", which shows all the hotkeys I could find for the different screens in the game. I also wrote about new bugs I didn't know before.

To improve the any% route further, I tested many ideas but didn't find anything too substantial. Two biggest hopes:

  1. Do Plane of Fire before going to Murmurwoods. Instead of flying 20 sec to the top of Ravenshore, you could exit palace of fire (after getting the heart), do scroll bug and die, restart the game and respawn at the top of Ravenshore. Are there any drawbacks I didn't see?

  2. Find a dungeon where you can reach coordinates close to the crystal's exit. This would allow you to directly spawn there instead of walking through the crystal. The dwarf mine in Alvar was promising but it looks like z-pos is bad. (you spawn above or below the room)

@Alpaca, how did you corrupt the map in your video?

Just so you know, I spent like 2 hours looking for a better earth prison save and couldn't find one.

Spawning on top of Ravenshore means no Earth Prison save, would be cool to find a different spot for that.

Or you could keep the detour I used in my run. Save savegame A before getting the conflux key, fly to the spot, save savegame B there, then reload A.

Quicksaving does not exist in unpatched MM8. Are you running with the Greyface patch?

That item duplication looks cool. I tried it, but it seems it's only graphical, when clicking on any of those it removes all the duplicated sprites.

Wow, I did not know that. Great stuff

This can almost be used as a replacement for the spell scroll bug autosave.

If you quicksave while entering the crystal, then loading the quicksave will keep the coordinates you had (if you were in a dungeon). But the monsters will have spawned in this case. Might only be useful if you can spawn directly at the end.

You can quicksave after death, to end up in Ravenshore or Daggerwound in the same coordinates you were.

You can quicksave after horse ride/ship to end up in the coordinates you were.

Ok, you can quicksave and reload after using the Daggerwound ship to end up in the top of Ravenshore. And like I said, to get the Earth prison save, just make a detour there when you get the conflux key (see my run).

And you can do it while entering Plane of Fire. I think it is faster, but only by about 2-3 sec.
