@MartinEnder I've been doing speed runs, and Crystal peak has now ended 2 of them

I actually skip Soul Master

@DJMcSpookem with Unbreakable Strength and Quick Slash, Hive Knight can almost be face tanked. But yeah, GPZ needs a lot of practice.

I joined the youtube train :)

It's definitely not a clean run

But the route was intentionally chosen

Mostly for the Geo: Having enough Geo to buy gathering swarm early means that I have enough geo to buy lumafly lantern by the time I've navigated through the City of Tears

@NathanMerrill neat! I wonder whether it might be better though to delay getting Gathering Swarm until you get to the Stag Station in Greenpath. That way you wouldn't need to take so many detours to break up Geo rocks.

@MartinEnder Yeah, perhaps. I could also get it immediately after the False Knight, but 1800 Geo is quite a bit

So, I have to eventually make detours to get Geo. I'm opting to do it now so I get Gathering Swarm earlier

oh, I also don't plan on opening up the station in Greenpath

Ok. Here's the new plan: No geo caches except if there are 3 of them (45 gold is crazy)

There are two of those, so those should be relatively straightforward

So, now the major gold sources are: 50 gruz mother+ 165 false knight + 90 geo caches + 45 husk guard = exactly 350 gold (the required amount)

And then, if I'm missing gold for lumafly lantern, I go for golden husk

which is more than the 200 extra I'm saving doing it this way

Just lost a nail binding run on the last phase of the final boss, and it couldn't have been much more than a handful of hits left ._.
