| 1 | - | THE LOST AGE - Any% No S&Q, Bronze Password |
| 1 | + | GOLDEN SUN THE LOST AGE - True Any% |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | What are we doing? | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | - | Beating The Lost Age without Saving/Quitting, with a restricted Bronze Password, early Isaac, and with Death Storage legal. |
| 5 | + | Beating The Lost Age as fast as possible. |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - | Why the weird rules? |
| 7 | + | Why "True" Any%? |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | - | No Save & Quit == No RNG manip |
| 9 | + | Usually we are playing the game without using a password. True Any% permits any password (and things get very silly as a result). There are no Save/Quit restrictions so manipulation will allow us to go extremely fast. |
| 10 | - | Early Isaac == We are allowed to get Isaac from Gabomba statue |
| 10 | + | |
| 11 | - | Bronze Password == Lift Gem on Isaac for Trial Road, Jupiter Lighthouse, Reunion skip |
| 11 | + | |
| 12 | - | Restricted == All transferred characters are Level 28 to eliminate stat / avoid abuse |
| 12 | + | |
| 13 | - | Death Storage == Early Lemuria for Gaia Rock, Ankohl, Trident skip |
| 13 | + | Manip to get to Isaac from Gabomba as fast as possible. Win. |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | - | This should be a fairly accessible category for runners since it will be completeable in a reasonable amount of time so we're testing it out. |
| 15 | + | !earlyisaac in chat if you are not familiar with this. |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | - | This category does need a better name, open to suggestions! |
| 17 | + | How is a password abused? |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | We use a Gold Pasword. Isaac comes with ridiculous stats and most key Psynergy to beat the game (e.g. Burst, Lift, Grind ...). He also comes with equipment to reach 100% unleash rate so that we can spam megiddo and win. | |

| 21 | - | 99% of this is the work of Regnetreis |
| 21 | + | Why is Felix named "!"? |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Felix's name determines three puzzles in the game (Gabomba, Gaia Rock, Trial Road). Normally we use y~~~~ or v|wow to manipulate these to be fast. However in this category the only puzzle we encounter is Gabomba so we only need to optimize for that, and ! is one name that does this. By naming Felix ! we save about 20 frames in the intro compared to y~~~~ (we save 4 frames each time Felix's name is mentioned). | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | - | Abuse Isaac to go fast. You will see a lot of Shurikens used. |
| 25 | + | Why are there two Isaacs? |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Early Isaac turns on the flag saying that we have Ivan. When you shuffle the party order the game is actually removing all party members and then re-adding them in a new order. Since Ivan's flag is turned on, and we have Isaac in party, the game expects to generate 6 characters even though we only have 5. Hence character duplication. | |

| 29 | Will there be Doom Dragon Skip? | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Yes. | |

| 35 | Who did the routing? | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Me | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Why doesn't the Gold Password count towards the timer? | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Runner enjoyment. It helps prevent this category from becoming Enter-Gold-Password% which isn't very fun. |
