Quest for Glory I Any% in

Edit 2025: This run was tied by Rainault in 2024, and then beaten by SantaClaus in March of 2025, followed by my reclamation in April. You can follow that journey in my video essay here:

A few notes:

• After my previous world record of 58.8, I discovered a few new pieces of tech that would help runners beat me—most notably, the get rock method at Toro's door. This helped swimfan get a 57.5, and his video can be found here:    • Quest for Glory 1 (EGA) speedrun: Any% (0:57)  

• In response, I literally discovered four new speedrunning techs in a single day (human-vialbe archery range route, consistent Antwerp door, buffering inputs in Yorick's maze, and a one-click exit from Elsa's room) and went on to beat swimfan with this 56.2.

• I originally unlisted this video for two reasons: I wanted to get a 55.x, and I wanted to record my live mic (which I haven't been able to do as my external sound card exploded). However, with QfG4 being as broken as it is, and with QfG2 having more people looking at it, it'll be a while before I can get back to QfG1, so I decided to just publish this video now.

• I do think 55.x is possible, but it all depends on Elsa's damn framerule, which is random. You can just lose a full second in her room and not be able to do anything about it. Hence, it might be a while before 55.x is a reality.

• Still though, what a time.
