Once you’ve defeated Hornet and picked up the Mothwing Cloak, head to the stag station and ride to the Forgotten Crossroads. Once you’ve done that, fight Hornet at point 2 and obtain the dash ability. Then head to the stag station beneath point 2 and rest, and also unlock the station. Also defeat the two Moss Knights that are guarding the triple geo cache for a lot of money. When you get to the room by the Moss Knight, go in and kill it for extra cash, then kill the Vengefly King. Don’t spend any geo on anything else (other than stag stations), we need as much as we can get. We’ll need 1,800 geo by the time we get out of the City of Tears, so that we can afford the Lumafly Lantern. Make sure you get as many geo caches as you can find. In addition to making your way through Greenpath as fast as possible, you’re going to need to collect geo. Once you first see Hornet, perform the mosquito skip (my video, timestamp is 10:17) to pogo onto the ledge. To get this, we need to defeat Hornet Protector. Greenpath is needed for one thing in this speedrun – the Mothwing Cloak (dash) ability. Then kill the baldur in the entrance to greenpath and make your way inside. Once he is defeated, open the geo chest and go get Vengeful Spirit. Don’t go through the breakable wall, FK is quick and we need the city crest. Then go up and left, above the stag station (kill the guard for extra cash) and then fight False Knight at point 1 on the map. Keep heading right until you hit the sign going up to the stag station (You’ll need to collect at least 50 geo on your journey there!) and unlock the stag station. Then go past Cornifer, to the bottom of that room and then right. Since the gate on the far right it locked off, you’ll need to go left to the tall room and drop down. You go through the King’s Pass as quickly as possible and drop right down into the Old Well (after talking to Elderbug, of course). The beginning of the game is about the same as any other playthrough. Hitting ESC stops the run timer, so you can check back as much as you want. Have the guide open in another tab on your computer at all times. There’s also a video of my run, with timestamps, so if you do get lost you can just check it out. I’m not going to give you super specific routing so that you don’t have to look at the map every second, but I made marks frequent enough that nobody should get lost. I split this guide into a bunch of segments that travel through one or multiple marked points on the map (below), with a total of 20 marked points. I came up with this route myself, having never speedrun any other game or been in any speedrunning community, so it should be understandable by the average player whether or not they have speedrunning experience.

After a few hours of work, I can finally publish this and hopefully help you understand how to speedrun the game. Welcome to my simple speedrun guide! I wanted to make something that was specific enough to not leave anyone lost, but also wasn’t too hand-holdy and complicated.
