Hello fellow Die Hard runners! I thought it would be fun this Diecember to add a new category to the boards: Best Ending! This ending will first show McClane and Holly coming out of the building, then Karl will reappear and try to kill McClane. Powell shoots him and McClane says "I knew you could do it, partner!"

As far as we know currently, to get this ending, you must:

• call the police with the radio on the roof before Lock 2 is broken,
• retrieve 1 detonator, and
• defeat Hans Gruber

Feel free to reference my personal best run to see how I currently routed it out:

It's basically just 2nd half of current Any% route, followed by 1st half of current Any% route and then doing the ending of the older Any% route. I thought it would be interesting to try something fresh to experiment with alongside the usual yearly Any% shenanigans, so please feel free to try things out and have fun with it!

To keep consistent with the typical, non-RTA MOTHER series speedrun timing, we have decided to remove the 2-3 seconds it takes to name your characters. Timing now begins when you select "Yes" on the "Is this OK?" screen after naming your characters and food. The times in this category have been changed to reflect this new timing change.
