Genshin Impact Speedrun - AR10 in 41min41s

[@geovanesilveira1562]

So, I've been doing this route too and I just thought about something. In Lisa's Dungeon, instead of taking the air current (30:40) to the "2nd floor", why not ignore it, and going directly to the skip. And to replace the 1 chest we're missing, I thought about these: * 8:51 - After doing Amber's aim challenge, we get her chest * 10:03 - There's also this long aim rooted chest, even thoough I think it's a bit "random" to hit it * 38:52 - Instead of taking it after doing Amber's aim challenge, wait until this part * 39:25 - Same as above, but get it after talking with the npc It feels like the time spent going up the elevator, walking to the boxes, breaking them, getting back to the elevator might be longer than doing any of these I mentioned. Might only save some seconds tho, but that's what eventually the route will end up to

Good suggestion. Here's why I kept this one over other chests. First, the chest from Amber's aim tutorial gives no xp, so it's out of the question, however the chest from the nearby cart does (you can see the cart at 8:50 and later on when you come back to this area). I haven't timed them properly but they should be around the same time to pick up. The rooted chest you suggest is indeed a slightly better option than taking 2nd lisa chest, only if you can hit it from afar (fast and first try). My aim on controller being garbage I don't go for this. Skipping chests in Lisa's domain is also a better strat because you could catch the last platform on an earlier cycle. Usually I can't quite catch it by dropping only a single chest (but it should be possible yet very tight). Because I couldn't find good replacement for the 2 chests in Lisa's dungeon I ended up keeping both.

​@@Anemion "First, the chest from Amber's aim tutorial gives no xp" Well, shit.. I didn't know that xD Yeah, there's the cart one, but looking at the distance, going out of your way to go there (be it after Amber, or in the later part) seems to not be faster than going to 2nd floor on Lisa's. Now that I'm doing more runs and really liking it, I'm thinking about studying the map a bit to see if I could catch any poss re-route and things like that. You know if there's any discord or anything like that where there's people discussing these strats?

@@geovanesilveira1562 The link to the discord is on the speedrun com page for Genshin Impact. I forgot to say but if you are aiming for WR, you'll have to optimise for IGT (I try to optimise RTA so mine won't exactly work). There was also another route done by Locurian which get Lisa second and Kaeya third. His route has 10 more xp in it but I'm not completely sure which one is the fastest in IGT.

@@Anemion I was using the other route before, but this one feels like it's better, idk.. I'm really looking to improve it, but I don't really like the restarting shit just to get a better IGT time, even tho I understand why it's done, I just don't like doing it.
