Finally got a sub 5 minute run. I saved more time than I thought I would. I imagined we would get just under 5 minutes but here we are.

@@AttilaVoices He's basically doing the following: - Skip as many fights as possible by hitting question marks - Defend as little as possible to save rounds in fights - Search for the exact card build he got (strong turn 1 AoE) - Keep the deck minimal and never pick up cards that don't fit the build (he used some glitch to avoid picking up transformed cards) - Use tricks to skip as many animations as possible (like pressing m after fights to quickly get to the next point on the map)

for those still wondering, there was a bug that let you cancel out of dialogs/choices, it's used 2x here: one to cancel the transform on pandora's box which ends up removing all strikes/defends, and one that cancels receiving the curse on necronomicon. Patched out, which is why this run uses the unpatched version. At that point it's just str buffing, vulnerable, and philosophers stone on 3rd map to wombo combo every time. you could easily theoretically get faster just with better RNG in shops and card rewards (if you get buffed cards you don't need to spend any time in smithing and could potentially buy a relic that is better gold spent) but the odds of even getting THIS rng (with glitches version) is pretty low to begin with to somehow improve on that... pretty low chance.

The only thing I had trouble following was the Pandora’s Box glitch. He was halfway through the City by the time I realized he was on a 5-card deck and I had to rewind and re-watch that part about 4 times before I realized what was going on. Felt mildly cheated at first, because I thought I’d been missing out on the option to just dump all my strikes and defends for free off a single relic, but reading that it’s a patched-out glitch makes me feel slightly better now. 😅
