Cavalcadence plays Monk 39: Speedrun (sub-14) (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)


So just for fun, I thought I'd try some Monk speedrun attempts. Unfortunately, they weren't going very well (I'm definitely out of practice with Monk speedrun
strats!), so I thought I'd switch to some normal runs instead. And then, a couple runs in... the game decided to present Monk with a 1-1 Titanium Warhammer and Heart Container! Which is definitely a pretty nice early build for a normal run. =)

But that's also a pretty nice early build for a speedrun. ^.^

So I figured, sure, let's switch back to a speedrun attempt, and see how things turn out! Of course, with the slow start, I definitely wasn't expecting to get anywhere near my previous PB (and didn't!) (Monk 29)... but I actually ended up doing better than I thought I would! =)

So anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
