Legend of Grimrock 2 - Speedrun - Normal Ending (53:16)
3Any% Normal Ending
-Shipwreck Beach : Had to fight both Turtles before the X room, also had to kill the Turtle in the Brass Key room, got rid of two Mummies blocking the path.
-Keelbreach Bog : Had to fight a Herder after picking up the Battleaxe, the other Herder was blocking me before leaving but didn't lose much time.
-Ruins of Desarune : I was facing the wrong direction after picking the Cemetery Power Gem and messed up backtracking to the Hub, had to fight a Twigroot before leaving, I wasn't able to pick Stormseed Orb and my Wizard had a leg injury (no mana regen) so I had to fight a Mosquito Swarm with weapons (maybe use Healing Potion next time), lost a bit of time fighting the first Ice Guardian, nice timing on the Wizard level up before Slime Iron Key, wasn't able to slip past all the Slimes so I fought with one, threw the Iron Key instead of closing the gate.
-Hamlet of Stormbreach : Ratling group blocked me but didn't wasted a lot of time, not the greatest Ratling Boss room but I got away quickly, Forest Ogre decided he wasn't gonna move so I had to sleep, had to fight with 2 Ratlings after picking Essence of Air, very good spike trap maze pattern.
-Crystal Mine : I'm trying my luck to see if I can be faster than 45 sec to skip the moving block Mine Key (saved about 10 sec), Wizard was really low on energy so I had to sleep, then use Invisibility, then sleep again before using Jeweled Scepter, got blocked by a Giant Spider so I backtracked to sleep and use Invisibility but I feared the Force Field would go down so I tried to refresh it (turns out, it casts it on yourself!) so I tried to sleep and then use it again when it was gonna be down but I couldn't cast it since I was trapped I guess, I was hit by Fire Elemental and my Wizard died so I had to use a Ressurection Potion (lost around 45 sec), spider corridor was a bit weird but I actually only fought one Giant Spider and got away with it.
-Twigroot Tunnels : Had to fight with a Fjeld Warg group and a single Fjeld Warg but I was able to sneak by one more group before entering the Tunnels, Skeleton group was not cooperative before the first Brass Key, had to fight every single Ratlings before first Power Gem but my Wizard was low on energy.
-Wormbound Catacombs : I was able to despawn a Zombie by having a Twigroot over him, lots of paralyze while fighting with Xelnoids, I decided to use Lightning Bombs on Xarant which sped it up a bit, messed up the Crystal of Life pickup afterward, went back to Fireburst in the zombie pit for no reason, killed three Zombies and figured I could go get the Power Gem easily, not a very friendly pattern in the first Skull Key puzzle but I didn't lose too much time, the Skeleton Archer group really messed up with me so I decided to kill them which cost a lot of time, got blocked by a Skeleton after picking up the 2nd Skull Key, very good spike trap room.
-End : Got blocked by a Summon Stone before heading back to the Cemetery Hub, had to fight two Fjeld Warg group to avoid the Air Elemental, I used the Crystal of Life right after the cursed portal puzzle, had to fight both Xelnoids and the Eyctopus in the spectral orb puzzle, I tried to kill the 2nd Fire Elemental after the first Slime but I didn't move out of the way fast enought and got a feet injury, got the 3rd and 4th Fire Elementals to hit but I survived!
-Boss Fight : Very good one cycle fight! I used the Crystal of Protection as well as 6 Lightning Bombs and the Speed / Rage Potion combo to make quick work of him.
Overall : Really glad to beat my previous WR by almost 3 min!! Didn't expect all my practice on the True Ending would make that big of a difference. I'm confident I can lower a couple more minutes with very good luck. I should try to swap the Spirit Mirror Pendant as soon as a Barb reaches Heavy Weapons 5. I completely forgot to learn Concentration 3 with Wizard.
