Then go past Cornifer, to the bottom of that room and then right. Since the gate on the far right it locked off, you’ll need to go left to the tall room and drop down. You go through the King’s Pass as quickly as possible and drop right down into the Old Well (after talking to Elderbug, of course). The beginning of the game is about the same as any other playthrough. That being said, if you forget an area, go to the Video section of the guide and skip to that part of my run. You should recognize the rooms and should be able to navigate decently well without an in-game map with wayward compass. You can make up time pretty easily in such a loose time limit.įinally, make sure you’ve played through the game at least twice before even attempting this. Unless you’re going for a better time than that or for a personal best, don’t be discouraged if you screw up or even die a couple times. We’ll be fighting False Knight, Hornet Protector, Mantis Lords, Soul Master, Watcher Knights, Dung Defender, Uumuu and THK.Īlso be aware that five hours isn’t that tight of a speedrun. Practice bosses in Godhome so you don’t lose too much time retrying them.

Hitting ESC stops the run timer, so you can check back as much as you want. Have the guide open in another tab on your computer at all times. There’s also a video of my run, with timestamps, so if you do get lost you can just check it out. I’m not going to give you super specific routing so that you don’t have to look at the map every second, but I made marks frequent enough that nobody should get lost. I split this guide into a bunch of segments that travel through one or multiple marked points on the map (below), with a total of 20 marked points. I came up with this route myself, having never speedrun any other game or been in any speedrunning community, so it should be understandable by the average player whether or not they have speedrunning experience. After a few hours of work, I can finally publish this and hopefully help you understand how to speedrun the game.

Welcome to my simple speedrun guide! I wanted to make something that was specific enough to not leave anyone lost, but also wasn’t too hand-holdy and complicated.
