This is a speedrun of Oersted's Chapter of Live A Live, as part of my prep for a full RTA run.

This run checked all the boxes, but had some major problems besides. The first problem was I didn't get enough IQ to finish the chapter. This problem solved itself with a miracle Unicorn Horn drop to give me 10 more IQ; otherwise I would have had to reset at Gynophobia as I wouldn't have had the IQ to stone her.

Second, the Demon fight went sideways when I decided to experiment with using Jump Shot instead of Death Trail; I won't be doing that in the future. I won, but Oersted missed his free Level 3. I made up for this later by grinding a bit more.

Everything I loot here serves one purpose: To give me enough IQ to stone Gynophobia and Straybow with the Algos Eye. I loot everything that gives IQ in the chapter and have just enough (in most cases) to do it. A bad roll for IQ on level-up can make this impossible, unfortunately. Fallback is to grind up a Unicorn Horn I guess, which happened here.

This one's going to get a runback soon since that Demon fight is just awful; this is a temporary placeholder in my segmented run.
