I promised myself I wouldn't return to this game, but I couldn't resist. :/ I am glad I did return though, because it caused me to make this video! This is the fastest time I've seen for this stage. I don't think it can really be improved, just because of the way Gergoth works. You need to get to him at the right point in his attack cycle. If you are a bit too late, he will start and complete an attack even if you "kill" him. You need to get there and kill him before he begins his next attack cycle so he begins his second phase as soon as possible.

I had a lot of runs in the 1:26 range, which got there just too late to kill him in time. I got two really clutch corner boosts in this run, got the merman skip on the first try (which is really rare for me!), and didn't have to wait for the rotating spikes at all. I am really happy with the way this went!

One more out of the way! Only 8 to go!
