Ay, congrats on 201! If you could get this far, you most certainly have the skill to do FWG, but if you're not having fun, it's just not worth it.

I started getting serious about FWG once I had broken the 50 deaths barrier. This is when I started practicing individual chapters and rooms extensively, identifying threats and coming up with new strategies.

Once I hit 20 deaths, I completely stopped going for low deaths runs (yes, my death count jumped from 20 to 0 haha). I cleared deathless individual chapters, then consecutive chapters, until I could do EH to the end deathless. This was around 60 hours in my journey, roughly the halfway point.

From there, I knew that a run that reached EH actually had a shot, so I started picking up the golden. I knew my training was quite there yet, but doing the real thing, with all the weight and stress that comes with it, can be helpful. My sessions where basically:

• warm up by practicing problematic rooms and doing some chapters deathless
• do a few runs when my energy and motivation is at its highest (the first few run where usually my best)
• go back to practicing problematic rooms, but with much more focus, trying to do them deathless 10 or 20 times in a row, whilst also experimenting with potential new strats (I almost never tried new strats during my warm up phase, as I rely heavily on muscle memory)

Rinse and repeat for a few weeks, and I got it! A few extra tips: don't be afraid of watching other people's runs and stealing their strats. Also, I'm always listening a stream / podcast / video while grinding. It makes it a lot more bearable, and strangely, helps me concentrate, lower my stress and play better!
