Quest 64- Any% US Speedrun Guide by JazzyChoi1991
This guide takes advantage of the two new glitches found recently, Out of Bounds and Spirit Duplication. For simplicity in this guide, we will assume we get 3 spirits per dupe but this may range from 2-5 possibly. This guide is an adapted route from DriftingSkies' run, feel free to use other routes yourself.
To dupe spirits - Cast exit (19 water) or return on top of a spirit, then quickly mash A and the desired C button alternating. Spirits from the overworld and spirits from experience points are independent of each other.
For a newb route do the following: 25 Water 50 Earth 50 Water Anything additional into fire.
A speedrun route gets fire to clip out of bounds.
Timing starts from first frame available from movement after clearing the first text boxes. Timing ends on first frame of mammon explosion.
