Thanks for opening this category! Got the idea for this from glitchless modes in the randomizer and it turned out to be a really fun one for events as well. This is why I was playing with a patch created for the rando (https://crystalisrandomizer.com) that lets you play as Mesia.

This run takes a lot of safeties because the early game gets a lot more challenging. You really need to grind the pig-axe guys so you can levelup to beat the bug. Biggest safety is warping out after getting Tornado bracelet so we can refresh and buy armor in Brynmaer. Dropping this would also free up boots to warp the kid back to Oak but turn Sabre S into a really long trek with no checkpoints and a lot of enemies that can poison. Anyway, things went pretty well in this run after this.
