LatviaAnd I see you run the game in old way using Boxer and Knight. We now speedrun the game with the Duelist because of his immense saber's air attack's attack speed which results in highest possible DPS output
Hello, just want to make sure, are you indeed using PS4? Because all your previous runs were run on the PC platform
Any% record is 37m 13s IGT and Any% No Traits No Relics record is 38m 21s IGT. The latter is 1 min slower. Or did I misunderstand you? Unlike other games you might seen people speedruning, this one has a random world generation, random heir generation and many other random things. Thus this game will be very hard to speedrun because one will need to purely rely on a perfect RNG. Currently with a common rng it's possible to do sub 43-45 minutes IGT if you play very very well. I dislike the rng factor of that game too in terms of speedrunning. The only thing we could possibly do is to bring a seeded category, but currently there is no legal way to seed the game.
I also had thoughts about creating a program that analyzes a world gen and writes what relics spawned using that seed. Is this allowed in speedrunning? No. Can we detect this? Well, we can't. If the runner doesn't do some suspicious movements (heading directly to heirlooms, relic rooms, boss rooms and finds no dead ends) then it's highly unlikely for that person to be found cheating.
As there was a long period where a main menu was present (from 21:49 - 22:47) the igt time will use real time. The rules state if you go to main menu during your run, you should immediatelly return back. The reason is the igt doesn't count the time you spent in main menu.
FYI, there can be numbers from 0-9 and characters from A to F, so that's an '0' there.
I think the idea of speedruns is you can have only the game and video recording programs be used during your speedruns. In case of taking a screenshot it's like you have another active program that directly helps you during speedruns. Castle generation information is present only during your current run, and is supposed to be unique. But if we speak about information that is always the same (boss damages, relics effects), having written notes or using open materials (I suppose you can do that via phone, but won't it slower your run as you need to search for information?) about them, in my opinion, is not a thing that can directly affect your CURRENT run. Thus, writting notes are legal to use. I think there is no difference if you have knowledges about the game in mind or written somewhere.
