First ever sub 50 LRT! Did zero practice and it was the first run I did of that night. It went pretty well other than a few things of course.

Noticeable timeloss:
Up and Down (+15s) Bad turtle shenanigans
Master of Forgotten Skills (+20s) Goofy start
Perpetual Fluidity (+10s) Movement bad
Obscure Ways to Terminus (+15s) Rough clip
Sleeping Forces of Doom (~+40s) Lousy last hit
Power of Levitiation (+10s) Meh fight
Hanging Waters (~40s) Didn't go for fast strats near end (but still great gold)
Mutaclone (+20s) Sloppy fight
Chance of Reckoning (+10s) Could've been better
Seeds of Poison (+30s) Accidentally turned around...
Transfiguration (+8s) Sucked

There's a lot of potential still with this game, such as more already known skips like PF oob (-1:00m) and early HW airswim (~-5:00m).
A lot to yet discover and improve. Sub 40 LRT could even be possible one day!

Played on original hardware and disc (PAL)
