Heroes of the Monkey Tavern - Speedrun - Any% PC Glitchless (42:31)
7Any% PC Glitchless
After a long break, I'm back at speedrunning. Got burned out trying to improve my any% on LoG2 and I got this game in the Steam sale. This is my first recorded run for this game! I've watched runs from Nathrex and xPeterWhatever and decided to go for a glitchess category.
Floor 1 : Couple of small mistakes with movement and I should give the Winter robe to 3rd barbarian
Floor 2 : Went past the room with the Stone hammer, turned left instead of right after the fireball trap, forgot to delete saved games (only 3 slots for quicksave..), average (?) luck fighting the soldier near the golden key
Floor 3 : Small movement mistake, didn't select the portrait to grab the Golden key, more movement mistakes, found an extra Short sword (guaranteed?) off the soldier, small movement mistake after the musical puzzle, I should look for a drop to replace the Wooden hammer
Floor 4 : I was questioning getting the mana potion after the Two-handed axe, almost forgot to pick up the Axe and I didn't remember where the button was, I equipped the Cursed ring on 2nd barbarian instead of priest, small movement mistake before the Golden key, I picked up a safety health potion, I can move in the other big room to fight the 2nd skeleton, I can head toward the locked door to fight the 4th skeleton, I can move in the other room to fight the 5th skeleton
Floor 5 : I was disoriented when I got here, I should wait for one spike trap cycle before moving further, I probably didn't need the fountain, got blocked fighting the mummy and skeleton so I reloaded (lost 20 sec), used 15 sec to sleep (maybe faster healing with priest), lost 45 sec fighting boss and reloading
Floor 6 : No movement mistake, I should make a safety save before minotaur, equip Group Heal after the fight (can be done when equipping Holy mace)
Floor 7 : I felt like grabbing an extra mana potion, I triggered the first goblin apparently and had issues fleeing from it after War axe, I wonder if I should swap Two-handed axe to 2nd barbarian, I tried to make a safety save but it seems I kept the poison status and was considered "in fight", I should just attack one orc regardless if it moves, small movement mistake after Golden key, messed up a bit in the werewolf room
Floor 8 : Forgot to quicksave before spike trap room and had to reload the floor (lost 90 sec), had some input issues activating secret buttons
Overall : Pretty happy to get a run recorded, I will definitely improve it. For now I feel like around 35 min is possible with good execution / skipping unnecessary items. I've tried going for Str and Dex when building party and still not sure what's best at this moment. Got lost a couple of time so I need much better navigation. Let's see how low I can go!
