Over the past few months i worked on a Level 1 any% route. It is still a work in progress as all the things speedrunning. This is my first completed run and once i am completely satisfied i will translate my notes to english and make it understandable for others than me (Gotta love those half meaningless blurbs in them that i understand and everyone else will just go ... huh??).

If you are interested please contact me. I'm more than happy to share about this.

i've yet to watch this video... but please tell me you got 2 madains Rings in Treno at the start of disc 2

and what was your equipment setup for Cleyra for Zidane? im also a Level 1 nerd enjoyer/runner

I don't get any Madain Rings in my first Treno visit.

and the Set Up for Zidane is Mage Masher, Bandana, Bone Wrist, Mithril Vest and Germinas Boots. With the Ability Man Eater for extra Damage

I also have Freya with a Partisan, Mithril Helm, Thunder Gloves, Mithril Armor and Yellow Scarf. If both attack a Soldier, they should flee and the armour makes it so they atleast live 1 hit

oh thats a nice setup... you hitting for between 476 and 518 right?

Yeah, just enough to Scare them away

can slighty underdamage, but then just heal them up and try again. though crits are bad

I'm interested in notes for this

i just finished the notes to a degree that i am proud of. I will translate them and make them readable over the next week and finish it up with a Showcase Run.

I will Post them with the Run here once done

I'm a "retired" runner, but, would this be doable on PSX? As far as I'm aware, the only PSX Level 1 "speedrun" involves farming a ton of Dead Peppers (especially for Shell Dragon). I haven't had the time to watch this yet, but are you doing a similar strat for Shell Dragon, or are you doing something else? I'm super intrigued!

i normally go and buy the Dark Matter in Treno to deal with shelly

Like SirRetro91 says, the only thing i get from the auction is Dark Matter to Deal with the Shell Dragon.

But i cannot recommend a PSX Run, my route very much expects alot of Resets and the Shell Dragon is 1 point of concern, where you try to prepare but if it doesn't want you win, it stops you.

do you learn auto life from rebirth ring for Quina before you enter Bran Bal btw?

But it would work on psx too yea? Just reset heavy?

I do not learn auto life with character. If the ability is needed the char slaps on the ring.

And yes, it would work on PSX, all strategies work in it.

Here is my Route through the game. i will play through it tomorrow, 26 of April 2025, on my stream if you wish to see it in action

i noticed some flaws in strategies and equipment during the run, so it has even more potential!
