**Rules:**
Time starts when selecting a new game.
Time stops on Quest Completed after exiting Drakoth’s Room.

**Quick note:**
If you're first learning or if you're not going for super competitive times, it's worth it to skip the zips and walk/roll/fly to the destinations instead.

Chest Dupe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5UUaIj23-Ahttps://youtu.be/T5UUaIj23-A



To dupe a chest's content, upon opening said chest, force quit your game when the chest is shown on screen, but before the animation of the chest opening plays. This glitch will primarily be useful in 100%, but could absolutely be useful elsewhere, more testing needed. The linked video shows exactly how its done.
