(Outdated) Both sub 4:50 and 4:40 barriers broken. This is the result of a long year of strat developments, route improvements, and optimizations in every corner of the run. For anyone unfamiliar with the category, this is played on version 1.1.2 where the lv50 tephra exploit is patched. However, playing casual on this version equalizes the lack of it, and since you are underleveled for 98% of the run and have poor equipment, it makes for a very interesting and challenging run. It is the best form of xc1 speedrunning.

Early game was pretty trash to be completely honest, aside from godlike gogol farm for empire pike. Could've saved more time in ch1-3, lost time to wisp fight being dumb trying to get the achievement and both arduns and m71 were bad. Xord 1 was also bad, and satorl was pretty atrocious. Started saving time in ch7-8, but lost some in ch9 because kromar skip is stupid. Rest of the run was mostly very clean, except for whatever happened during the first central factory elevator and after that. More than satisfied with how this run turned out despite the terrible early game. Sub 4:35 is the next (and potentially last) major time barrier.
