If you're interested in speedrunning this game, I plan to make a tutorial series soon. We have a Scaler Speedrunning community discord server where we talk about this game, the speedrun, and even meme around.

After grinding down Sub 1:20 last week, I decided to try to get a better run, not feeling all that satisfied with my performance in the previous run.

Overall, good improvement over the previous run. Implemented a new skip in Bakuldo that saves 23 seconds, added new Bomb Transform Hit Exploit in the Iguana King fight, and the new fast Looger fight strats.
I also got the new Altus Skip first try, had better Crystal Gem routing than last time.

The worst segment by far was Rattlecrab because I didn't hit the dots fast enough and ended up wasting time having him circle around the next phase. I also could have played Iridium, Desollem Cacoon Destruction, and Komaldo faster.

There is a newer route that was found recently to save 2 seconds from the route in the video. The route would be after Altus, go to Koradus (buy the bombs there instead), then Desollem, Henchmen, and finally Rattlecrab. This would allow us to collect an extra gem and replace a slower gem in Bakuldo.

I did a stream of the route earlier today, but after trying it, I decided it wasn't really worth implementing it or messing with my muscle memory for the time being due to how little time it saves currently. While a 1:16 or even like 1:15/1:14 on Xbox HDD, are certainly achievable with the route, I think I'm happy enough with this run to move on.
