This is on a console and not an emulator.

So I have a lot of notes already on the run and they can be found in both my tutorial of the game which can be found here

I also have notes on how to perform the glitch in it's entirety which can be found in this SDA thread https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/shining_in_the_darkness_single_segment_new_update_to_the_run_seriously_cool_glitch._the_glitch_h.html

Basically this run needs to stay on console since I have modified the glitch so that it can stay on console.

The run utilizes some slightly overly safe strats just because of the length of the run. My current run was kind of rushed, so I couldn't trim it down much further without cutting it into smaller segments.

Basically 8 hours is too long for me to do a single segment, but I will continue to do 2 segment runs of the game.

Mortred can be beaten when Marak's level is 27 and Dark Sol can be beaten when Marak's level is 37. I suspect you could go as low as level 35 with Marak for Dark Sol though. You would need a really good fight though.

Also I rarely use splits for my runs, but you are more than welcome to figure them out by setting up your own timer and starting it when I start it.

Then one last thing. I start the timer when the old man is finished talking. I'll leave that up to the community though if we want to start before the name entry screen. I just wanted to choose a time after the name entry screen because entering names can be a little precise, and I don't want to restart a run 7 times because I wasn't sure if I entered in the names correctly.
