Cross posted to any% as well, in case we find a way to skip orbs or something.

Technically my second completed run but first with an actual route in mind. I routed around having 890 into blackcastle, having at least 3 hits for all the hard bosses, skipping rainbow dive and an annoying heart barrier in ice castle, and skipping other obviously slow hearts. I also routed to have backups for certain heart barriers, such as the one in firecage. In this run I missed it and got a slower one in ice castle instead. This also gave me one less hit for the mummy which I struggled with a bit. I was also a bit unfamiliar with the route so i went the wrong way once or twice, costing maybe up to 30 seconds. Had a few costly deaths, but all on bosses that I generally struggle with anyway. Ghost King 2nd try. If I try to improve this I will adjust my 890 route some more first. Eventually I might route a 670, but for now I'm satisfied because I think this run reflects my skill level pretty well.
