The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard Any% LRT 13:37

Solitaan 2023-05-17 | Was a relatively clean run (for me), except I failed to use the strength potion while jumping and never noticed until it was too late, losing 15 seconds.

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard Any% LRT 14:20

Solitaan 2023-05-09 | Just a bit faster than my previous submittal of 1:58:34.
Time wastes:
2s dock jump
13s crowbar skip
3s N'Gasta Jump 1 shenanigans
4s wheel turn
8s Chandelier Skip
15s Crane jump
30s Richton (I fell off)
so 1:15 total of easy timesaves

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard Speedrun in 2:47:46 (Former World Record)

Solitaan 2018-07-31 | New world record: youtu.be/BZa62InTyFw

This is a speedrun of TESA: Redguard, a spin-off Elder Scrolls game from 1998. Other than mobile and MMO games, Redguard is the last TES game that has not been speedrun!

Because this game has never been speedrun before, I had to route the entire thing. I'm sure some improvements could be made, but I believe the route itself is pretty solid. With some practice and glitch exploration, the run may be able to reach sub-2:30:00. For example, I found a wall clip at the Old Quarter gate and it is very easy to execute.

There are two times during the run that the game crashed. They both occurred when I tried to access the main menu to load a save.

If you have any questions about the run or would like my routing notes, please leave a comment.
