Saved a lot of time with a new route (42s faster). I was still running as like practice runs so used safety save for Extending Blow. Decent run but still lost like 15s in ET because of dumb keese RNG.

The route idea is from Azer67:
- No corrupt file and copy the early game file (one for Eldin pillar + tunic, one for 7x04 RBM early).
- 7x04 RBM early and combine it with Eldin OoB RBW.
- Extending Blow after ET to get a scene flag 9x04 from Mogma for Batreaux Door.
- S+Q and Save in ET on file 3 to use a scene flag 0x40 (Boss Door Opened) which triggers 2x08 in Behind The Temple for Rock RBM.

Recently, people found early boss rush which saves about 30 mins. Fighting certain bosses in the mini-game earlier than intended sets story flags that should not be set yet.
Skipping all B-items became possible then and it turned out much faster than expected.
The route is extremely complicated and requires a hard trick in Earth Temple.
