I recently joined the Chucklefish Discord (Inmost's producers) and one of Inmost's developers suggested some things to improve our times. Here's what they said:

"1. You can overjump first hunter from the right ladder 2. Holding roll button while landing will skip landing animation (parkour!) 3. Pressing roll on a most corners with perfect timing will speed up character forward while he falls 4. It is possible to take rope climbing device without dropping cave monster from a cliff. He is not reacting on a small bells when attack animation in progress (never tried, but some testers did)"

I bet this can help shave off a bit of time. I reccomend you join the discord, its discord.gg/chucklefish i think.

You probably know that Speedrun.com leaderboards allow mods to change the 1st - 4th place trophies in order to relate to the game, but I can't think of anything good to use, thoughts?

So I saw how CROMPY was able to somehow skip the whole child scene saving a whole couple minutes. As soon as I saw it I tried to recreate it but failed, and originally I thought I failed because I didn't die in the process, but as ThiccBoiiNoodles's new PB has shown it doesn't matter, does anyone have any theories on how to get the skip?
