So yeah, here's this. Had this route in the making for quite some time now, just recently got around to actually recording it. I decided to do it on Normal difficulty because... well, this run is nigh-impossible to do Single-Segmented, and Segmented Tourist might be overkill in terms of difficulty reduction. Now, one flaw with my plan to do Normal is that I've never actually practiced Normal Segmented; just Tourist. So, I had to do a LOT of reloading saves due to getting absolutely slaughtered in a few areas. I was outright seething by the end of the run. As a fun thing, keep an eye on the time in the top-right corner to see how long I took between segments.
I might explain what's going on at some point later, but for now I'll let chaos ensue in your minds.
For the unaware, a Segmented speedrun is essentially a speedrun where you can save and load. Any time where you have to load a save is a segment. While you could spam the save key to essentially TAS the game, it's preferable to use as few segments as possible.
Times:
Gathering of the Gods - 04:26 (4 Segments)
Together Forever - 02:08 (7 Segments)
Born Again - 04:16 (5 Segments)
------------------------------------
Total - 10:50 (16 Segments)
While this run is definitely improvable, I'm not sure if it can be taken lower than 10 minutes. Best improvements I can see are sprinting while edge-walking out of bounds, and possibly killing the boss faster. It'd also be nice to get it in less segments.
Anyways, I might do a full-speed Segmented Tourist run later. At the very least, having this Normal-mode video up before that means I can punch anyone who bitches about speedrunning on Tourist in that.
Also, to anyone who wishes to do this route single-segment, I wish you the best of luck.
