Full game playthrough (100% + true end):
Part 8 - A Boss rush and a Belltower key
Death's Door is a game about a crow who can't fly (or swim).
...
Anyway... at some point I began to wonder... could a melee build actually be viable for an Umbrella run?
Long story short... it can. =) Things start off kind of slow, but the more you upgrade your melee, the smoother things will go!
...
BTW, this kind of ended up as a "not really a speedrun, but definitely faster than I'd normally go" playthrough... so if you've never played/watched the game, do be aware that I'll be skimming most of the dialog and skipping a lot of the optional things (like Logbooks) not required for a 100% run. ^^
Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing through the game again, so... hope you enjoy!

8:31 The Urn Witch's Laboratory (1 Boss)
8:52 Boss: The Witch of Urns - Grandma
- (combat note: if you don't have Hookshot+, use the roll attack instead... if you do have Hookshot+ though, you might as well use it here, since it seems to do just as much damage... but it's both faster and easier to hit what you're trying to hit. ^^)
9:39 (combat note: the witch's purple projectiles can be deflected with your melee weapon, or dodge-rolled through)

12:35 The Other Side (1 Boss)
14:17 Boss: The Grey Crow
15:00 Ow, and ow again. =p
- Not my best battle against the Grey Crow; I was definitely rushing things a bit more than I probably should've been, in places. =)
16:36 (combat note: the "black hole" that the grey crow coughs up can be attacked and destroyed)
16:51 Lost Cemetery

33:02 The Stranded Sailor (1 shiny)
33:11 Shiny Thing 15 (22/24): Grunt's Old Mask
- You can get this Shiny anytime after defeating the Frog King (as long as you've rescued Clever Grunt from the Mushroom Dungeon); I'm just getting it now because the Credits put you at the nearby Camp door, which is a much more convenient distance than going from Throne to Sailor. =)
- (completion note: the final 2 Shiny Things, however, cannot be obtained until after the End Credits)
33:20 Hall of Doors (1 shiny)
33:37 Shiny Thing 18 (23/24): Rusty Belltower Key
