Amnesia The Dark Descent: Justine Speedrun (4:26)

That's right. Under 4 minutes 30 seconds. A 3 minute improvement on my old run!

01_Cells: (71.1 seconds)
I activate the phonograph as soon as possible and grab the latern ASAP, to open the door. I aim to be out of range of the phonograph before the line about the cabinet is spoken, which i do here.
I then glitch into a rock pile using wall-sprinting + crouch, and emerge from the other side using an uncrouch glitch.

02_Library: (59.75 seconds)
Much faster with the lever - you may notice that the lever is lifted up slightly before I push it down each time, this is caused by me moving the mouse constantly whilst the man talks, and when the lever "gives" i will be able to push it down again to advance the door opening sequence.
Much more aggressive suitor strategy this time around, and at the end you can hear him moaning right behind me!

03_Dungeon: (46.15 seconds)
Improvable by perhaps 5-10 seconds or so by getting the pipe jump in one try. I then use the ledge in the pipe to uncrouch out the map. I take a very risky jump over the void at the end (falling = run over).

04_Crypt: (89.02 seconds)
I grab the spade and carry it with me just before the crusher. I then use it to "dig" through the wall into the finishing area, and complete the game whilst the crusher is still running - hence the sound continuation in the credits.
The "Good. But far from perfect" made me laugh.

Timing notes:
Timing starts when you first control movement (Last fade in at start).
Loading screens are omitted from timing.
Timing stops on the last frame of the fade out.
I would be really amazed if anyone could shave more than 15 seconds off without new glitches.

How can you consider this a legitimate speed run if you cheat through half of it?

[GuyNamedBob]

@EricJohnsonHall This IS a legitimate speedrun by SDA standards. I don't use any cheat codes, or external tools to manipulate the game. I made full use of every part of the game, including glitches and bugs, which is perfectly fine for a speedrun - and also the norm!

Glitchless speedruns are a legit seperate / side category, not the only category. Personally I don't really enjoy making glitchless runs as you are just performing stuff everybody have seen before on their own playthrough.

Is this a mod you can download? if so where can i get it?

[GuyNamedBob]

@Renardisobssesive It's an official add on that comes free with if you download the patch for version 1.2 of the game.

@TheGreatSage86 Cutting it as close as possible is much more fun, not to mention faster :)
