[@dragskcinnay3184]

IronPineapple did a somewhat similar run ; it was "always overloaded + no torrent (except for *one* spot in Mountaintops to jump a gap) + avoid Bloodhound's Step". The main differences between the two runs are jumping (impossible while overloaded, possible here) and usage of the "b" button in menuing (possible while overloaded, impossible here). In IronPineapple's video it became a TankBuild Simulatorᵀᴹ ; I wonder if it's going to be the same for this one... Edit : after seing the video, nnnnnope, not at all, aggy just chose the "minimal set up, just go with your skill" route lmaoo

[@rruhland]

Plus I think he was able to get around the mountaintops torrent usage with either the butt slam or Loretta’s ash of war thing

[@dragskcinnay3184]

​@@rruhland Almost yeah. More precisely, he used torrent at the spot, thought of a strategy to get up bumps like these at a later moment, and came back to the spot where he was stuck to check whether or not that strategy would have worked there, and it did ; so he used Torrent, but later found a strategy that would have allowed him to circumvent using Torrent, had he found out about it earlier. (I didn't include it my comment because it wasn't super important and I didn't want the comment to be too long)

pineapple did this run legit while aggy did it gimmicky (no b button can't even get out of menus xd) and with bloodhound step for more than half the game which almost entirely removes the challenge.

In case anyone read the comment about Buckler Parry vs Carian Retaliation and Golden Parry, Carian Retaliation only costs FP when it parries a spell, otherwise it's a longer parry window than Buckler Parry and can be put on a Rickety Shield which weighes 1.0 Miyazaki units to the Buckler's 1.5, for minmaxing equip load (plus its actual stated purpose of parrying spells for glintblades)
