Any% True Ending

This is my third recorded attempt at True Ending category. I've changed some settings in OBS, mainly 1080p. Hope video quality is good! (last video wouldn't update resolution so I reuploaded)

-Shipwreck Beach : I was having issues picking the set of knives lately and lost about 5 sec, got blocked by the last Zarchton, had to fight a Mummy before grabbing the Horn, I was missing a knife for some reason so I backtracked a bit.
-Keelbreach Bog : Got blocked by all 3 Herders after the boss room so I had to backtrack and lost 1min10, some minor mistakes otherwise pretty clean.
-Ruins of Desarune : I was blocked by a group of Fjeld Warg so I decided to fight them, a Crowern was jealous so I had to kill it as well, Earth Elemental was blocking the digging spot for Meteor, I wasted a Fireburst spell while fighting the Ice Elemental, I was distracted after picking Ax and went the wrong way, had to fight the second Ice Elemental in the corridor instead of the room, couldn't get Invisibility fast enough but I got a decent pattern with the Slimes, Skeletons behaved before picking Power Gem.
-Lexiconary : I was trying to telefrag a Slime in the Snail Figurine room but I still managed to skip one.
-Hamlet of Stormbreach : Had to fight two Ratlings before the Essence of Air, very good pattern from the Air Elemental.
-Crystal Mine : I should fix poison when it happens since it can do a lot of damage, I was blocked by a Giant Spider just before the portal - I should hit the Spider nest instead, I ran straight in the spectral orb and waisted a cycle (4 sec), I lost a lot of time in the Spider corridor and was blocked by an Eyctopus, had to fight one last Giant Spider before leaving the area.
-Twigroot Tunnels : Had to fight 3 groups of Fjeld Warg to enter the Tunnels, had to fight a Skeleton group and Skeleton Archer before grabbing the first Iron Key, every Ratlings wanted a piece of me before the Power Gem and lost a lot of HP so I slept more than usual.
-Wormbound Catacombs : Got instantly double paralyzed while fighting the first Xelnoid, fell in the pit in the Fireball room and had no idea how to get out quickly (lost at least 40 sec), trying to telefrag a Zombie pushed it and I was cornered so I had to fight it, Xelnoid after 2nd Skull Key blocked me from getting out, got hit twice in the spike trap room.
-Pyramid of Umas : Very clean aside from some minor optimizations.
-Barren Desert : I decided to use the Magma Golem to help kill some Mummy groups, I should really involve my Wizard in the fight, I was disoriented after getting the Power Gem
-Lindworm : It was daytime so I had to sleep a lot to get Essence of Water plus too many enemies blocked me so I had to make a new bridge appear, cursed maze got the best of me (5 resets) and lost me 1m15 so I angrily shook the Cursed Compass to teach him! Had to fight both Xelnoids and Eyctopus before the spectral orb puzzle.
-Lindworm Fight : Very clean one cycle fight with no feet injuries or deaths.
-Trickster / Island Master Fight : Fell into the pit on the first Trickster fight, extremely unlucky Lightning Bolt from a clone wipped my entire party so I had to start over which cost almost 1m30, lost the second Trickster for about 25 sec (???), very good fight with the Island Master otherwise.

Overall : I wasn't very confident after the first couple of splits but once I got into the Crystal Mines and saw that gold, I was very excited! I'm getting much more runs to finish, which is a good sign and also lets me practice the 2nd half of the run. Still a lot of improvements to be done (over 13 min from Sum of Best). Also : jumpscare at 0:20:14 !

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 = 22 / 36
Lightning bombs = 20 / 34
Battleaxe = 23 / 32
Jeweled Scepter = 5 / 8
