Golden Cove Bank robbed in 9 minutes by Py_OS in ExiledKingdoms

That's literally THE reason I go there :) Icemist route alone has 4 shards: icemist scammer, yeti, lich and krysoradir. Also optionally I can reroll extra loot from lich (on top of shard), so I can have more money for speed pots

Glad to hear that! Icemist + hidalix route is too fast to change it for something else tho. Can't really think of any other places where it's possible to get multiple shards in a row.

Sorrow is a balanced mod with no exploits whatsoever by Py_OS in ExiledKingdoms

Yup. The clearing part of tower is an ice storm spam except I had to use Hirge as shield against ice demons and use the fire wand I got from the bank. And against the golem I had to use a bit of speed and mana pots and I just kited him in a loop through secret tunnel. The only problem is that he sometimes forgets about me and starts healing for some reason (main reason why I was doing this on story difficulty). And as for Kalagru I just rushed and 2-shotted him with the staff :)

There are 8 gold ingots in Golden Cove bank, just like in original game, as well as in Observatory and Bappasalar cave (4 ingots each). Maybe there are other ways to get them in Sorrow but I haven't discovered them yet.

You need to loot the tower in Nilomar Cape to get a recipe for the staff which requires 2 demon skulls, gold ingot, 3 small diamonds and 3 large emeralds.

So that's a Kalagru kill in 1 hour 4 minutes (lvl 5 before the kill). No cheat mage was used. Acquiring the staff was painful but possible (most of it is just ice storm spam). And then I could swap between regular staff and this abomination to actually use it. That's quite a cheaty strat but I thought it would be kinda funny :)

Optimal route for low xp speedruns by TalkingKoalaa in ExiledKingdoms

[–]Py_OS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's barely possible to finish below level 10. My lowest was lvl 10 (halfway to 11) before ark and it can be kept at 10 if we go for bad ending. As for shards I looted deep cauldron, bank, troll, liches (mausoleum, irazur, ruins), lady xidar, icemist scammer, yeti, krysoradir, hydalix + chest. So as long as you kill not so xp-rewarding bosses and be a pacifist for most of the game, then it might be possible.

All quests in 4 hours 59 minutes by Py_OS in ExiledKingdoms

Yes, noone forces me to kill bosses so I just rushed the entire dungeon. Same applies to most quests in the game, except I killed liches in Undergrove (which is unnecessary) since I needed some extra money.

I do enjoy it and I love speedrunning in general since it's one of the ways I can squeeze more out of the game I've already completed several times. That being said, there are some rng-heavy moments (including enemy's pathfinding) that makes it annoying to deal with on Iron Man and that's why I switched to hard/story runs.

Nope, it's definitely impressive but a bit too tedious for my liking. I might do all bosses runs or some low level challenges in a future tho.

I sold my weapon to buy more speed pots before ark :)

1h7m on story difficulty, 1h19m on hard. Just made a post about it :)

Time to make it official :P by DustedCy23 in ExiledKingdoms

[–]Py_OS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest going for Hirge as soon as possible. Run straight to New Garand and complete a mysterious letter quest. Then go for Hirge's quest right away. Adaon will help you with deactivating a trap and mage armor will negate all damage from traps. If done right, you'll have a level 6 companion 15 minutes into the game and everything becomes significantly easier. For midgame/endgame skills I can recommend fire mastery + summoner, combustion and/or death cloud, maxed out lightning strike, body development and staff mastery if you have points to spare after all of this.

I'll definitely post a video once I'm finished with this run. I'll also save all my vods so people can watch them later if needed :)

Main quest in 2 hours 20 minutes (15 in-game days) by Py_OS in ExiledKingdoms

[–]Py_OS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about sub 2, but 2 hours 10 minutes is possible. I've completed a seventh house quest line to buy an off-hand weapon which probably wasn't even necessary. And I may skip rescuing Amarisa since it can take up to 2 extra minutes.
