I had gotten a 5:54 177 attempts in, but I rewatched honk's demo compared to mine and I realized in my demo I had a critical timeloss near the end where I backtracked through an area that I had ensured was clear of enemies earlier, which cost me 6+ seconds. The run was pretty good otherwise, and it had accomplished my goal, but I couldn't live with such a glaring low IQ moment in the demo. I started attempts again and instantly saw worse RNG at the start.

I came up with my own route for this but it ended up being the same route honk drew. I implemented the BSK secret skip from my NM100s run. In theory it saves like 7 seconds but it can take some time to get the jump. In terms of how the demo went, it went pretty amazing, the BFGing was aggressive and it looks really good, All the cacos getting out of their pen was also a godsend, need a little bit of luck for that. However, when I teleported to the finale, it caught me off guard that both cybers were dead, which is fantastic infighting RNG, but the vile being left alive was spooking me. Cleaning up the finale didn't go terrible, but it definitely didn't go smoothly, especially with that straggler caco costing me like 6 seconds.s
