The deal with the Holy Water is weird! I have a good idea for why the holy water and the switch interact this way, but still... totally bizarre.
P.S. you obviously do not need to go back on the left side of the statue (that was for demonstrating the holy water), and you can speed up the OoB part a bit by doing different movements to reach the top sooner.

Go watch my current record here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dU p6Vyv0
This is the new WR as of 5/21/13, overtaking the previous record by more than 90 seconds and my own personal best by nearly 2 minutes. This is mostly thanks to a few route optimizations with zips, although I think I executed the Dracula fight much better than my previous best. Astarte fight, not so much.
I was up all night and tired before attempting this, what can I say? I mostly just did the run because I was excited about the new route stuff. Im sure the time will drop a lot whenever I feel like doing a more serious round of attempts. Sorry that this is also my first full run in a while not to include commentary; I just didnt feel like talking because of how tired I was. Hope you enjoy the run anyway!")
