Apollo Legend and SummoningSalt got me interested in speedrunning, but Arcus is the one that inspired me to try it. I'm learning to run through NG1. My only goals right now are to learn the basics of running NG1 and successfully running it.

Good luck with your goals and have fun :) these general forums aren't very active but if you search for specific games then you will find their own forums / Discords etc which will be a lot more active.

thanks :)
