This is my re-do of Oersted's IL in Live A Live. The original was 41:27 or so.

This run notes three major improvements over the previous:
- I found a faster route through the central area of the map by cutting through the trees. I'm actually embarrassed I didn't notice that before.
- I found not just a faster but MUCH safer Demon fight strategy. What you see here is basically textbook execution of it.
- I found an extra IQ+ item to give Oersted more IQ, allowing me to push straight through the final area without having to grind to level 10

I lose time on a lot of splits for a few reasons. The main one is encounter RNG; I got very lucky with encounters in my previous PB. Additionally, picking up the extra Unicorn Horn costs 10 seconds, making that split a guaranteed loss. Finally, Oersted died during the Demon fight, forcing me to begin the final leg of the chapter one level down.

While this isn't a perfect run, it's my "Starting place" for what to do. I might come back and improve the IL after my single segment run is finished.
