Just buy the game on Steam when it's on sale for $2 lmao. I didn't bother doing all the strats in this run. An optimal run would be sub 40, but no one should hate themselves that much.
All glitches and tricks shown works on all console versions as all console releases are built from the PC 1.2 version. This includes, but is not limited to: Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Why Do They Have So Many Damn Versions.
I also chose to tank through flashbacks in some maps. Like in Morgue, there's no invisible flooring to stand on after the regular clip spot, so you'd do a loadwarp to get out, but since loads are extremely slow on Switch it's faster to tank the flashbacks and leave normally lol.
The puzzle has finally been solved. The truck boost discovered by Apjjm in 2013 saves 0.5 seconds over tanking the flashback, but the big time save lies in Quazzar's new OoB clip between the flat and rounded wall structures, which allows for a natural route from the left side. In total this new route saves approx. 5 seconds.
Apjjm made a video on this back in 2013. This is simply a recreation in higher quality, showing the entire segment. This saves 0.5 seconds over tanking the flashback. If you don't get the full, instant boost it is about +0.0-0.5s slower than tanking the flashback. Bad and slow, but interesting method: youtu.be/mjHYbQYXd6c

๐ SRC: speedrun.com/user/Skyreon ๐ฎ Twitch: twitch.tv/skyreon ๐ฆ Twitter: twitter.com/shyreonAmnesia: The Dark Descent Storage Route Comparison for Any% QuitoutsSkyreon2022-07-30 | Take the clips with a grain of salt. There were good and bad moments in all. This should still serve as a good estimate though. The small in-game timers can be completely disregarded as I ended up stitching together clips anyway. Another thing to note is that this is even more painful to time if you factor in the aspect of time without loads (which could matter for certain routes, like flashback skip vs dialogue skip before the torch room). I also should have stitched together more clips. Example: top-left and bottom-right vids should have used the same clip from bottom-right up until the route deviation. Whateverrr.
This assumes the current fastest Lakebed 1 route for Any% which turns the bridge at 1F south, so it goes up north to 2F, right before obtaining the Clawshot. (The old Lakebed 1 route turned the bridge at 1F east, going up west to 2F.)
This is a video response to a runner in DMs, but I thought I might as well make the video public in case it ends up being useful to others.
I didn't emphasise it in the video, but the Iron Boots equip during the jump down to the banister is very useful as it shortens your landing. Equip too early and you'll hit the overhang and fall down. Equip too late and you'll overshoot the bridge and land in the water.

In this route, you set EBF as early as possible, and avoid events that lower the value, so that when you reach Forest Temple you immediately have all 4 monkeys saved.
The reset at the bridge is frame-perfect. The reset in the fight is not frame-perfect whatsoever. I just decided to use the same technique for simplicity's sake. As long as you reset while Link is falling you will get a high EBF value from the King Bulblin fight.
