Legend of Grimrock 2 - Speedrun - True Ending (1:15:33)
66Any% True Ending
This is my fourth recorded attempt at True Ending category. I think I'm done with this category for now!
-Shipwreck Beach : Wasted a bit of time trying to skip a Zarchton and ended up telefraging it.
-Keelbreach Bog : Had to fight an extra Herder in the Den which costed about 15 sec, lost a bit of time fighting all the damn Mosquito Swarms.
-Ruins of Desarune : Had to fight two extra Crowern but it only took 10 sec, there was two Summon Stone blocking me before Stormseed Orb, had to fight the Mummy group before opening the gate to the Round Key, Ice Guardian gave me a bad pattern, lost a bit of time on the 2nd Ice Guardian, insane timing on the level up of Wizard.
-Lexiconary : Lots of misses on the Shrakk Torr, 2nd Cave Crab blocked me, not sure why I couldn't stomp the Slime but at least I managed to skip it.
-Hamlet of Stormbreach : Very good Ratling Boss room, Forest Ogre didn't want me to save time, I wasn't sure where the cycle was in the spike trap maze, got blocked twice by the Air Elemental even though I was moving left.
-Crystal Mine : Invisibility ran out just as I used the Jeweled Scepter in the spider corridor so I had to sleep and cast it again, I felt like I could run for it when the 3rd Giant Spider died so I could have left a couple of seconds faster.
-Twigroot Tunnels : Really bad enemy pattern as soon as I got out plus two feet injuries (I lost about 45 sec), I overshot my movement after fighting Trickster and fell into a pit like a dumbass (obvious feet injury) which costed me about 20 sec, had to fight a Twigroot before reaching the portal.
-Wormbound Catacombs : Almost ran out of throwing weapons before reaching the dungeon, I used a Shock spell on a Xelnoid for some reasons, got a double Paralyzed fight as well but good thing I got some huge hits, forgot to fill my Wizard's mana before Xarant fight and another feet injury, a Xelnoid blocked me after getting the Skull Key but that meant he wasn't going to be there after opening the door, I dropped down before pushing the button on the spectral orb puzzle and lost 5 sec, not sure why I thought my 3rd Barbarian was hungry but that wasn't too bad, I went the wrong way after entering Orul's Crypt but I got the door opened, got blocked by two Xelnoids but they were out of the way before getting the 1st Skull Key, I thought I could get away without healing my 2nd Barbarian but I was wrong, I used one extra cycle in the spike trap room.
-Pyramid of Umas : Messed up the Fireball puzzle and got hit then I missed the cycle and the door closed on me twice, I was able to skip the Mummy group but then they blocked me and I got both front Barbarians petrified (not for very long!), had to fight a Giant Snake after the second Tomb Key on the second floor.
-Barren Desert : I think I found the best way to fight the Magma Golem as there was almost no Mummy groups blocking me, it didn't feel like the Wizard did much in that fight.
-Lindworm : Had to fight a Mosquito Swarm and a Zarchton before resting for nightime but I didn't have any mana left (don't use Wizard in the desert!), had to fight another Zarchton after the Essence of Water, also had to fight a Crowern before placing the Essences, very friendly pattern in the cursed portal room, had to fight two Xelnoids and the Eyctopus before the spectral orb puzzle, I wasn't able to kill one of the Fire Elemental before the second Slime and I took a lot of damage, then I was hit again and lost my Wizard, then I was hit again before the door and lost a Barbarian, then I was hit AGAIN before reaching the Crystal of Life and lost a 2nd Barbarian (that's when I shat my pants and almost lost the run lol!).
-Lindworm Fight : As per usual in this category, you want to one cycle the boss with the Crystal of Protection and Speed / Rage potion combo on the main Barbarian, I used a couple of Healing Potion to try and keep my Resurrection Potions for the last fight (which I didn't need).
-Trickster / Island Master Fight : I took this fight a bit more cautious since I was in serious PB pace (and really nervous). I ended up swinging the Saber and the fist at some points as well as swinging in the air but I made it!
Overall : I can't believe I improved almost 10 min within the last two runs! I'm so happy I finally have a run that I'm satisfied with. I was able to pull of some new stuff I practiced (Slime Iron Key in the Ruins and Pyramid Torch toss on the pressure plate). I was shocked at how fast my last Hamlet of Stormbreach split was compared to this one. I used more Crystal of Life than usual but I'm positive it saved me time sleeping / using Healing Potions. Not a lot of improvements can be done aside from some lucky pattern I think. Now, on with Any% !
Here are some stats from the past videos, drops from Skeleton weapon and Mimics (also gives an idea of how many runs get past Hamlet of Stormbreach..)
Skullcleave = 23 / 37
Lightning bombs = 21 / 35
Battleaxe = 24 / 33
Jeweled Scepter = 6 / 9
