These are my notes on using the tell dupe glitch currently. After running it a few times i dont think its in its final form. Things i would like to consider moving forward with edits is how much time save can be had by moving a few other things around ie if Tell is duped throughout the run instead of just the once will that impact certain cutscenes more, or if we dupe tell more times in the beginning could selling getting more money shorten the time needed to spend fighting the painting?

also running this i noticed a high likelyhood of a game over once you switch in night spawn and koro since they are both level 1, it might be better to just keep kid instead of trading out koro but koros speed and versatility make him valuable. anyway posting the notes here so that others can pitch in and try some things out to try and see how and where this glitch is best used in routing or if its even worth it in the end to go through the trouble.

Also its been a minute the amount of teleporters needed may not be accurate anymore. also also the titles correspond with my particular splits. feel free to remove the titles and adjust as necessary.
