This is a more optimal Wizardry Lab route for any% or low%, put together with help from research by fellow Dawn of Sorrow runner "Korbo95". If you get a Pitch Black Suit drop from the Succubi, you can do the zip before Aquarius from the left a little more (from where the dark bricks in the background start) and then head straight to the warp. Assuming you are grabbing Aquarius, though, every candle/heart in this video is necessary. Shop menu is not optimal but whatever, just practice that. :p

I am already working on a sub-32 minute run to obsolete this one, but I hope you enjoy this anyway!")

New WR as of 4/11/2013. This was essentially a proof of concept run for a new route that includes a major sequence break to reach the Mine of Judgment extremely early. I realize there are many improvements to make, but I just wanted to finish one run on this route before worrying about super picky optimizations.")
