Any% True Ending

This is my first recorded attempt at True Ending category.

-Shipwreck Beach : Had to fight a Turtle near Crystal but I got her to dance before dying, had to fight the second Turtle too, lost some time to telefrag both Zarchtons, had to fight both Zarchtons in the Ornate Key room.
-Keelbreach Bog : Had to fight an extra Twigroot before the Tome of Leadership chest, fell in water before Bog chest and lost about 12 sec (all that for a Mimic..), got blocked by a Toad before Herder's Den but it didn't cost too much time.
-Ruins of Desarune : Had to fight a Fjeld Warg group but I got food so it was worth, gave a Power Gem to the wrong Barb (will come into play later), had to fight 4 Twigroots to open Cemetery gate, little bit of movement issue in the Ruins before Crystal, had to fight a Shrakk Torr that followed me before the 2nd Iron Key, didn't have Invisibility in the Slime room but I had a very lucky pattern, messed up grabing the two Healing Potions before Power Gem.
-Lexiconary : I didn't want Ice Guardians to follow me so I went back and closed the gate, I don't think I need to drop Torches on both pressure plates in the Skeleton Figurine room (will need more tests), took a lot of damage from Wyverns, tried to stomp a Slime but it got pushed back instead (still managed to skip one though), nervous checks to see if I was on the correct "Path of the Eagle" and "Disguised Path", got blocked by a Giant Crab so I had to bait him in a room, lost a lot of time trying to skip the Giant Crab near Crystal and I ended up backtracking in the portal room, lost time on the Figurine puzzle with two Ice Guardians and I took a lot of damage.
-Hamlet of Stormbreach : I really wanted the Jeweled Scepter of Ruling but the chest was a Mimic so I went to get the Hub Key to telefrag it but I ran into Sand Warg problems and decided to reload my save (I think I lost more time messing up with the portal than I would have saved without the scepter..)
-Crystal Mine : I threw a Mine Key twice instead of unlocking the gate, got a feet injury when I fell down in the Abyss so I had to use another Healing Potion, Giant Spider corridor was very kind on this run!
-Twigroot Tunnels : I tried to skip some Fjeld Wargs but I decided to fight them instead, not sure why I went back to using Fireburst, had to fight a Twigroot after the Essence of Fire.
-Wormbound Catacombs : Had to fight two Xelonoid before Xarant but it's hard to skip them, had to fight another Xelonoid after Skull Key door, lost a bit of time trying to telefrag one more Zombie in the pit, had to fight a Xelonoid in the first portal, missed the Torch grab in the spike trap room and got hit, then I was confused to see zero safe tiles so I went back and got hit again, lost a bit of time to rest and got hit a third time.
-Pyramid of Umas : I almost forgot to pick up the first Tomb Key and lost close to 15 sec, lost a bit of time trying to fight the Medusa in the pit room.
-Barren Desert : Barb health was low early in the map and I had to use the Crystal too soon which cost a lot of time later when Wiz was dead (I didn't want to spend a Crystal Shard of Healing).
-Lindworm : Had to fight two Zarchtons and a Summon Stone before the Essence of Water, Viper Root wanted to let me know I left it behind earlier, messed up three times in the invisible portal maze so I shook the Cursed Compass angrily, took a Fire Elemental to the face, I had to fight a Spider to reach the Crystal and there was a Fire Elemental still roaming so I tried to move out of the way but I fell down back on the first floor, there was another Spider waiting for me up the ladder and I lost a lot of time trying to get back up to where I was.
-Lindworm Fight : Very clean, got the 1st phase kill!
-Trickster / Island Master Fight : Trickster gave me a really good pattern and Island Master was ok, it could have gone worst considering some of my previous runs.

Overall : I am extremely happy to finally get a recorded run of this category!! There was no route for this so I had to adjust the Normal Ending one. Definitly a lot can be improved but it's hard to get a run to finish (most dies against the Island Master.. damn you!). My Fish / Torch grab while moving is really on point this run. I forgot to use my remaining Frost Bombs against Magma Golem. I still don't know how to navigate the Lexiconary and the Pyramid efficiently (haven't done a lot of practice in them).
