This was the longest I've gone without PB'ing in a speedrun category. Back in 2017, I grinded my heart and soul out, had many failed runs, and got burnt out on this game.

Coming back to it, I expected myself to be very rusty, and in certain regards I absolutely was, but all the speedrunning experience I've had throughout 2018 allowed me to improve regardless; I was able to avoid a lot of battles without using wands, conserving them for later on in the run. That, coupled with some pretty good stairs luck, shot the ending of this run outta the park.

There are still a few dumb mistakes here and there, but I'm proud to be on top of my original speedgame once again, with a run that demonstrates very well all of the strats I worked hard to find last year.
