Pandemonic Elfilis in

Описание: So, after clearing Pandemonic for the first time, a thought came to my head. "What if I just played it.... better? I could knock down the time to clear it." And that set me off a journey that I didn't know I was ready for. To knock it from more than 5 minutes, to around 3:20, then barely above 3:01, then barely BELOW the 3 minute barrier... I thought then I could've gotten a 2:58.xx, maybe a 2:57.xx, and topped at 2:55.xx. How wrong was I.

The RNG for this run is interesting, but what makes 99.99% of the grind tedious is just sheer execution. After all, the entire run has one single element of RNG: the attack he does after the opening ones. Dive is the quickest attack for the perfect setup. Phase 2 can be skipped with a fully charged hammer strike as he comes down after Sol, and Phase 3 can also be skipped by getting in perfect damage with Genome Reparation (heal) and Antares Belt (fire cuts). And even after all that, this run is still not perfect. It suffers from terrible Phase 4 execution. With a perfect Phase 4, this run could reach a massive time of even 2:43.xx, if not lower. I approximated around a 9 second loss over my best executed Phase 4.
But sheer perfection in a run cannot simply be obtained, or at least, not for now. Past me said this was the "god run", and it is a very strong run, but I'm sure, very sure, that if I just play it better...
...but resetting runs is extremely tedious, so that'll come way later down the line.

Oh, and unlike Any Radiance, and contrary to what the mod says, this is actually fun and very learnable.
