This speedrun was the result of three months of routing and planning. To my knowledge, this is the 2nd ever run of this category ever, and fastest known time for this category, beating the former WR of 25:31:05 by futunoco (link: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1897491612 ). While the strats used in the run are generally optimal (except the question of whether Ironclad or Watcher is faster for the Ascension Climb), the run had major setbacks from some unfavourable RNG (failing to find Feed with Ironclad, necessary for the "Ooh Donut!" achievement) as well as just plain misplays, mistakes, and blunders (big one was miscalculating a Blasphemy + Conclude).

My initial goal time was to get below 9 hours and 40 minutes, which is the time of Baalorlord's All Achievements speedrun (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o526R9mILqw ). His run allowed Pandora's Box glitch (allows you to remove instead of transform all Strikes and Defends) as well as certain Curse skips like from Calling Bell and Necronomicon, but was otherwise mostly Glitchless. Because of my mistakes, as well as not being amazing at the game like Baalorlord, I was over estimate by almost 3 hours and 50 minutes. I don't know exactly when I'll do another run (partially because I need to be in peak mental condition to play well), but I do know that I have a LOT to practice. Basically, this run is far from optimal and while I'm glad I've completed a run, it is bittersweet that the fastest time has such mistakes and misplays.

This part covers all parts of the run except the Watcher Ascension Climb as well as some minor achievement cleanup at the end.

Fun fact: This was my first time getting All Achievements on a single save file. I never got Who Needs Relics? on my casual save, and I never got all the achievements at the same time on my routing saves.
