Any% Normal Ending

This is my first recorded attempt at this game.
I noticed my split are named wrong, it will be fixed for my other runs.

-Shipwreck Beach : I dropped the first Healing Potion in Barbarian's hand (instead of his inventory) and wanted to punch the Turtle so I wasted it. Had to fight two extra Mummies in the underground.
-Keelbreach Bog : Lost a bit of time waiting for Swamp Toad to move after getting 3rd Power Gem. Not sure why the door in Herder's Den would not open (lost 40 seconds right there.. not cool!). Swamp Toad was blocking the way to the Hub.
-Ruins of Desarune : Took a lot of underwater damage so I had to use Crystal which caused me to have to fight 3 Summon Stones and use a healing potion afterward. Forgot to pick up the Stormseed Orb and I got blocked by a Zarchton under water. I was not able to drop a Scroll in the pressure plate puzzle so I fell down and lost time.
-Hamlet of Stormbreach : Fought a really evasive Ratling. Forest Ogre was not willing to move out of the way in Air Essence shrine. Went back to grab some Lightning Bombs in Sewers but I had to fight an extra Ratling for it (helps a lot against end boss). I was happy to see the Sand Warg get out of my way after spike trap maze but I took quite a bit of damage (should probably have waited 1 sec). I couldn't pick up Jeweled Scepter because it was a Mimic (will lose me some time in the upcoming Crystal Mine).
-Crystal Mine : Had to use the Crystal in the Abyss since I got hit by Fire Elemental and then there was Spiders everywhere so I had to fight two extra to get back to Core. I was also dissoriented since I didn't use that strat yet so I lost a bit of time. A wandering Eyctopus was found in the spectral orb puzzle so I had to fight it. I don't have a consistant strat to deal with the Giant Spider corridor so I lost a bunch of time there.
-Twigroot Tunnels : Very clean.
-Wormbound Catacombs : Small mistake doing the bridge puzzle, I started swapping Meteor Hammer in the Xarant Fight, not sure why enemies sometimes get pushed back instead of getting
telefragged when dropping on them like in the Zombie pit, had a bit of trouble with the Forcefield puzzle as well as the one with the spectral orbs, did a safety save before the spike trap room and ended up taking damage twice (Barbarian and Wizard died) so I backtracked to the Crystal.
-End : Got trolled by the invisible portal puzzle so I shook the cursed compass angrily (that will teach him!), had a hard time fighting with Eyctopus so I used invisibility + sleep to make him go away, was hit by surprise from Fire Elemental and my Wizard died, Spiders decided to sandwich me so I had to fight one of them, tried to save Barbarian with sleeping but it appears you don't regen HP while poisoned (good to know, it worked in Grimrock 1).
-Boss Fight : He charged away 3 times in the first phase, very good crits in the second phase helped me getting a two cycle fight (you don't want three cycles..)

Overall : Pretty happy to get a recorded run so soon! I'm not really good with Torch / Fish grabs and hitting levers / buttons while moving. My execution can be improved a lot and moving around some areas is slow. Definitly going to try and lower my time.
