Yeah we're getting there! :D Hopefully at some point we can figure out a skip to get from the first area straight to the gardens (Jun's dungeon)! They're directly connected but so far I've had no luck with any of the known glitches.

Cheating. Bro. Still pretty smart. I’ve only just finished boss mode first time on ps4. Technically I have a ps5. Boss mode was pretty easy. I didn’t know you can auto deflect arrows until the end of the game. I thought it was manual.

Thanks for watching and congrats on clearing the game! Just to be clear, I'm sure you mean "cheating" in the sense of not playing the game in the intended way, but we do have rules in speedrunning (they are stated for each category on speedrun.com), and part of the fun is finding creative ways to cut time without breaking the rules. No rules broken here! Fun fact: boss mode in the console version is even (way) more broken and two Japanese speedrunners have been going at it last week. You can find their runs on the speedrun.com leaderboard if you're interested. It's completely crazy, and I personally love it. The current record is 5:27 (yes, that's five minutes).

@@doublevil2172 Not yet. I actually haven’t got the all the endings yet. Only then I will actually be done with game. Apparently the true ending you have to play on veteran. What’s the difference between recommended and veteran?

[@doublevil2172]

@@Brandon_Y. You can see the exact differences by starting a game in veteran and looking at your key items. To sum it up, enemies (including bosses) have more health, deal way more damage, especially on critical hit, and damage over time effects stack.
