[PC] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Any% Expert Glitchless Speedrun in

This was the longest hardest single goal barrier I've set for myself in this game. The lack of time for the grind and extremely terrible RNG all the time is what made it so tough, but it was quite a tough challenge in itself. Sub 1:50 was my longterm goal for PC, and I'm proud to say that I've made it!

Quick notes. I know I could do better. We had bad Eveque RNG that cost me 40+ seconds, and I wasted 20+ seconds on a menu mishap during Monoco Station, but like I said, the grind is tough. I salute anybody that has the patience to get a run that plays every little piece perfectly and manages to get the best RNG all on the same attempt.

This is a Speedrun on the hardest difficulty from a fresh file (No NG+ setups). Expert Difficulty makes the dodging/parrying windows a lot tighter requiring mastery of most enemy attacks in this category. We also take more damage making us susceptible to being 1 or 2 hits away from death constantly which stresses the importance of being perfect everywhere. And most importantly, bosses have much more health (is usually about 87% more but it varies depending on the boss) meaning there's strategy to maximizing our damage going into fights and limiting slow enemy attack animations. The extended boss health is what diversifies this category the most between difficulties and forces us to conduct a route that is forced to endure several turns of every fight. It's also import to note that with these large health pools, the damage cap is still set at 9999, meaning we have to be strategic with our move setups and turn order to squeeze the most damage out of multi-hit moves
