Quest 64 Any% Glitchless (US) Based on the current WR run by Kirkq 10/17/2018 (3 years old)

Time starts when you hit new game and ends on first frame of Mammon explosion. TIPS & TRICKS: ⦁ Buffer text via A/Z alternating ⦁ Always watch your compass, when battle starts remember the direction Brian is facing. (Losing sense of direction is very easy.) ⦁ Sliding: Brian has a small slide animation that carries him a small distance when he stops running. When running away from enemies end the turn prior to colliding with your agility ring for a little extra range, getting you closer to your escape! ⦁ Escaping: Alot of times Brian will be 2 or more turns from a successful escape. Once you are spirit level 23 in water you can cast the escape spell in battle. It is a good habit to be moving as close to the escape point as possible each turn then attempting to cast escape to end the turn.

TERMINOLOGY: ⦁ Water lvl: 1, 4, and 13 WP= Water Pillar (v = WP)(v,v = WP2)(v,v,v = WP3) ⦁ Water lvl: 7 and 25 Heal= Heal (v, < = Heal)(v,<,< = Heal2) ⦁ Earth lvl: 24 AVA= Avalanche (<,<,^) ⦁ Earth lvl: 27 Con= Confuse (<,v,^) ⦁ Earth lvl:36 MB = Magic Barrier (<,>,^) ⦁ Water lvl: 19 Exit = Exit (v,>) ⦁ Water lvl: 23 Esc= Escape (v,<,>)

If in range use WP1. Solvaring turn 2: He will most likely attempt to use his Earth AOE attack but may also use laser again. While boots are in effect for 3 more turns you can attempt to get out of range by buffering your directional input.) THE PATTERN: From here use WP1 each turn being sure that your staff attack is available to ensure you are close enough. If your health falls under 18 use fresh bread first and honey bread last.

Zelse Turn 1: Will move in and most likely use his long range attack. Brian Turn 2: Make sure you are about 3 to 4 (slow walking) steps away from zelse then cast AVA(<,<,^) and pray. Zelse Turn 2: Zelse will always use 1 of 2 attack if you are 4 steps or closer. 1st is sword cutter which cannot be dodged and 2nd is his mid range will sweep in a line. If you always pre buffer closer to zelse or further away from him you will usually dodge the mid range attack. Good RNG will mean he doesnt use his sword cutter. Brian Turn 3: Heal if below 43 HP in case of sword cutter. THE PATTERN: Avalanche over and over hoping for good RNG and heal if health is inside of damage ranges of sword cutter. After the fight alot your element levels to 1,25,25,1 and putting any extra in earth if available. ⦁ Go to the nearby tree and grab the SPIRIT(EARTH) ⦁ EXIT, then leave the woods and use wings to Larapool PART 3: 3A: Entering Blue Cave ⦁ Go straight across the center of town and talk to the lady in front of the counter then all the way down the stair well.

You will not take any side paths through this cave and can follow these all the way to the end. I will include light instructions on how to not miss any paths on the way through here. ⦁ Go down the slope and take the right path between the 2 stones. You will be heading EAST. ⦁ As you follow forward on the path it will eventually have you going WEST and shortly after that the room will open slightly and if you turn 180 in the small opening you will see the 2 stones signaling forward. ⦁ Follow the path to 2 more ice pillars and turn right. ⦁ As you move forward and it opens up again there is a ice spire to the left with a SPIRIT(EARTH) then continue left between the ice pillars. ⦁ Keep staying straight and you will eventually cross over 2 ice bridges (The two bridges are pretty far apart with another stretch of cave). Keep your eyes on your compass at all times! When you eventually reach a 4 way intersection of small ice paths in a very large room (You will be pointing NORTH when arriving to this point) take the left path. (You will be pointing NORTH when arriving to this point). ⦁ Grab the SPIRIT(EARTH) then head back and stay straight till dead end and turn left grab SPIRIT(EARTH) and the CHEST(MINT LEAVES) next to it, then turn around and stay straight and keep straight till a small fork happens and take the right path. ⦁ At the next fork go right again. ⦁ Stay straight to next area, go to cottage and grab the SPIRIT(EARTH) on the left side. 3C: Isle of Skye ⦁ Go inside and through the door to teleport to the ship, go to bottom of the ship and get the SPIRIT(EARTH) and CHEST(DRAGONS POTION). ⦁ Exit ship and grab SPIRIT(EARTH) ⦁ Go up hill and grab SPIRIT(EARTH) at the entrance to the cottage then another SPIRIT(EARTH) behind the cottage. ⦁ Get ready for nepty, you can safety save on the ship if you are not chasing a tight PB. ⦁ Take the path up the hill and grab the SPIRIT(EARTH) then stand in the small rock formation in the middle to teleport to Nepty's chamber.

BOSS FIGHT NEPTY: Brian Turn 1: Move in toward Nepty and cast MB ( <,>,^) Nepty Turn 1: Let her do what she wants Brian Turn 2: Get within range and cast AVA (<,<,^) Repeat the above steps until MP is < 10. Then Cast in the following order 1. MB (<,>,^) 2. CON (<,v,^) 3. AVA (<,<,^) or Heal if health is below 50 After you get your MP heal from confusion repeat the process till dead. Spec all EXP into Earth (We will continue putting all spirits in earth till 50)

PART 4:

Leave Nepty's chamber then do a death warp (Dying to a enemy takes you to the last place saved/rested at which was after docking at larapool*********)

*********If you safety saved ANYWHERE this will not work, go back into the cabin in front of the ship and go in the back room, step on the pedastal, leave the house you are now in and step in between the ice pillars just in front of the house to warp to larapool. 4A: East Limelin ⦁ Return to the docks at larapool and enter/exit the cabin. ⦁ Take a left leaving the docks and follow the road ⦁ As the road slopes downhill into a wide opening stay to the right side of the world boundary heading to the quarry.

Then go into the cave entrance.) 4B: Baragoon Tunnel ⦁ Grab the two CHEST(HEROES DRINK)(HEALING POTION) at the entrance then head east (stay east through this whole dungeon). STRANGER DANGER: Will-O-Wisp are a huge threat for safety you can cast magic barrier during your escape attempt or use healing every turn. They will be faster then you in this category. ⦁ Stay east till you reach a room with a CHEST(HEALING POTION) and SPIRIT(EARTH) (grab both) then cross the bridge. ⦁ After you finish sprinting the bridge follow the ledging up into the stone entry way, turn left immediately and grab the SPIRIT(EARTH) then turn back and follow the hallway maintaining East. ⦁ Stay due east until arriving to Shilf. 4C: Shilf BOSS CHECK: You should have been pumping into earth heavily this entire time with water still at 25. When Earth finally hits 50 we will pump into water till 48 (This will not likely be achieved in this run category but is the next goal we are moving toward to get healing as high as possible). For every 8 levels in another element it will increase the attack power of all other elements as well to the equivalent of 1 spirit.

BOSS FIGHT SHILF:

	Brian Turn 1: Move toward Shilf and cast MB(<,>,^)
	Shilf Turn 1: Let her do as she pleases

	Brian Turn 3: Get in avalanche range and cast MB(<,>,^)
	Shilf Turn 3: Let her do as she pleases

BOSS FIGHT FARGO: The Process: Let Fargo do what he does Brian Turn 1: MB(<,>,^) Brian Turn 2: AVA(<,<,^) Brian Turn 3: MB(<,>,^) Brian Turn 4: AVA(<,<,^) Wash and repeat this strategy unless MP<10 then CON(<,v,^) in place of avalanche. If you take 1 hit you will be fine. But do not let him get a second hit. Heal during a extra avalanche turn if needed. Spec EXP in water ⦁ Head toward dungeon exit grabbing the CHEST(DRAGONS POTION) on the way out. PART 6: 6A: Baragoon Moor ⦁ After exiting the dungeon keep to the left and straight, after hitting the path turn right and hug the world border tight on the left until you see the castle, keep straight toward the castle hugging the border now on the right and being careful not to come off the border till in front of the castle. ⦁ Go straight through town and into the next set of doors, then hug to the left heading to the backside of the castle and up to the side entrance. 6B: Brannoch Castle ⦁ Follow the path through the first door and head left until your next available door on the left, and TAKE THAT DOOR! ⦁ Follow the stairwell, taking the available CHEST(DRAGONS POTION) on the left and ignoring the door, continue on to the top and take the door ⦁ Go left and keep taking rights until you find ANOTHER DOOR! Kreygasm ⦁ Keep going up the stairwell until you find a DOOR! 6C: Guilty BOSS FIGHT GUILTY: This fight will operate differently then the pattern we have followed up till now with avalanche and magic barrier. Where we normally would have used confuse we will be using all these MP heal items we have built up in a priorty order Mint Leaf > Hero Drink > Dragon Potion. We want to be sure to save at least 3 dragon potion if able or 2 if you are going risky. Just follow the below procedure and pray to the RNGesus because guilty is a doozy. Brian Turn 1: MB(<,>,^) Brian Turn 2: AVA(<,<,^) Rinse and repeat and when MP< 9 MB(<,>,^) then use a MP healing item in the priorty order.

Brian Turn 1: MB(<,>,^) Brian Turn 2: AVA(<,<,^) Rinse and repeat and when MP< 9 MB(<,>,^) then use a MP healing item in the priorty order.

Enter/Exit ⦁ immediately go right then slip between the 2 stone walls on the left then straight for the door. ⦁ Continue to speak to shannon to teleport to mammon BOSS FIGHT MAMMON: This fight is literally almost a joke but do not underestimate the games ability to rob you of your casts. I will assume you have learned the inputs for spells at this point and make this last fight straight forward. Cast Magic Barrier, Focus on moving in toward mammon till you get the staff symbol on screen. Just rinse and repeat MB, AVA, MB, AVA until a heal is needed and use a MP heal where you would an avalanche.
