My sixth or so attempt at a speedrun, first that actually won. I make a ludicrous amount of mistakes that end up costing me lots and lots of time, so it's not really that fast yet. I clocked in at about 27:40, from choosing my first trait to the big explosion at the end.

My big mistakes are:
Going to hell's arena (But it probably saved a bit of time thanks to the rocket launcher, so I might go here in my "Real" speedrun.)
Picking up FAR too much 10mm ammo
Going to hell's armory
Only skipping a few levels, even when I had enough equipment to win the rest of the game.
Over-valuing experience. All the time I spent farming monsters was basically wasted.

Oh, and the mortem... I guess.

Someone said that doing it in under 15 realtime minutes is impossible, so I wanted to disprove that.

Also, I'm doing it on HNTR with no challenge, cause that's the hardest difficulty I can play without thinking. Tomorrow I'll have another crack at it.


Quick edit: Actually, I also thought of doing a "fewest keypresses" run. I'll try that tomorrow too.

Well, I'm awake and ready for another go.

Say, why would you go in to the mortuary? The only way I see that saving you time is if you had a homing phase device, but that would've been better spent on level 24.

I saw a red stairway and i just assumed it would be The Vaults and an easy descent. When i enter Mortuary iu just feels one of those bang your head on the wall moments.
Getting killed by Cybie with 6 large packs on the backpack just because i think i can survive one more hit is a bit more serious in my opinion :P.
