AD&D's Pool of Radiance Any% Speedrun in 1:24:54
A speedrun of the Gold Box original Pool of Radiance by SSI. Timing begins at (B)eginning a new game and stops when you receive the reward for defeating Tyranthraxus from the Phlan clerk.
I ran this off-line but recorded it so I could test new strats (and was partially paying attention to another stream while doing so). Since it went well, I recorded commentary over it to upload, so the commentary is actually post-run.
New strats suggested by silentsigil led to this PB. There were parts I had some pretty awful RNG and made a few mistakes, particularly with my new strats, but I still got a decent PB, proving the efficacy of the recent changes to my route. I'm not sure how much more I can cut out, but I think a sub-1:20 might be at least far enough to push this eventually.
Music is actually from the NES version of Pool of Radiance - shoutouts to Highspirits for finding this soundtrack for me. (The DOS version has no music and only minimal sounds, which I turn off to eliminate sound-loading lag and reduce the time of the run).
