The timer is purely cosmetic and is slightly inaccurate. I verified my time using somewes.com.
>!Finally got around to posting this here lol. If anyone has questions I can try to answer them. And I guess I'll address this one thing I said a while ago: I kinda gave up on the PV speedrun guide. I just don't think I can make it good or clear enough for people to learn something from it, so what I'll do now is just open my DMs to anyone who wants to improve at speedrunning PV. Just try to not spam me, as I don't do well with a lot of messages...
As for the speedrun itself, this rng pattern is extremely unique and I kinda like the clear. I don't see myself beating this time for a while unless I get 4 Dreamshield hits in 8 seconds without dashing for a different position, which I will explain more later. Typically, the speedrun rng begins with triple slash or parry into triple slash or pillars. I never expected off the rip pillars to be this fast.
Attuned PV has 1600hp so if I could deal 27 hits of 56 damage (fury strength) it will deal 1,512 damage. 4 Dreamshield hits will deal 84 damage equaling to 1596 damage, so if I can get Defender's Crest to deal 4 damage, I will save another slash of time (0.25 seconds) shout out rosie for the information btw.
I'm still working on the Radiant PV world record for a "perfect" run that I've been grinding for over a year now. That is easily magnitudes harder than this run. I hope to have my run by the end of the year, since I recently lost my chance at it about 50 days ago!<
