Uhh, well we have 2 guides up in the guide section: http://www.speedrun.com/dr2/guides
I guess reference both if need be, both seems to be for kind difficulty.
I guess also have a lot of time on your hands too, seems to still be a long speedrun even on PC. Though it is probably still not optimized well.
Have fun also lol.
We recently changed the timing rule to match the first game, so make sure to end your timer when the credits roll.
Yeah I would suggest getting a comfy chair since the run is quite long lol.
Definitely read the notes. The big things to remember in the run are: -ctrl+S if running on PC, don't hold down just ctrl -You need the coins for the Final Dead Room in ch4 - you will definitely get these automatically from the trials beforehand, but don't forget to actually use the coins to skip this room lol -Using the map warp at certain points to go faster, instead of always fast-walking through the overworld.
I know my PC run and guide definitely could use some more optimization...the biggest one being knowing which direction is faster for trial selections and overworld selections (for example, knowing to traverse left or right to select Teruteru, or to go left instead of right to get to Island 4, stuff like that). I think speedwerd's guide covers most of this info well if you need it
If you're running on pc, having the notes on a second monitor or other machine helps - there's plenty of downtime with text scrolling to make sure you're at the right section of the notes.
Also if you're running on pc w/ a controller, don't be like me and use a controller that randomly disconnects and wastes time while you scramble to use KB+M
Also one thing that I've been wanting to look into are skills for the trial sections. You start out with 15 hope fragments i think before the first trial to buy a couple skills with and judging from the first game some of those should save significant time. The notes will definitely help with the general route though. Have fun :)
