Casual Competition weird-seed for the 1st week of December - Mystery

Weekly Weird Challenge

I think Crosskeys with Pottery Lottery worked pretty well. It's a bit longer than usual, but it's not adding too much tedious routing.

This week is a mystery, using my custom weightset. TLDR is it has a chance to roll item rando (with minor customizer settings for possible boots start and different keysanity combinations), entrance rando, strange customizer settings, or some extra spicy modes like chaos damage with extra safeties or major item shuffle (it's worth checking out the list of major item locations if you're not familiar with them).

Quick reminder of the rules:

  • This is not a rule but a clarification. Seeds will always use the None Glitch Required option so it won't be specified.
  • Quickswap and Palette shuffle may be used without restriction.
  • Major glitches are forbidden, competitive glitches are allowed as per the ALTTPR Racing Ruleset.
  • Timing is based on in-game timer.
  • All "thinking" time should be done in-game on the clock.
  • Reset using save quit to preserve in-game timing. Hard resets are not allowed.
  • Halting the game (turning off the clock) to do real life stuff is fine.
  • Fast-forwarding is fine.
  • Rewind isn't allowed.
  • Save states can be used to halt/continue the game, but not as a way to revert mistakes.
  • At the end of the run, put your total time and comments using spoilers for comments with info about item placement please (time or general thoughts are not necessary to hide them).
  • And for anyone new, remember that it's for fun. These seeds are here to help foster friendly competition, to share in a challenge, and to offer a comparison point for how well your run went.

!0/6 inverted defeat ganon with shuffled small keys and compasses, but not maps or big keys? Ok, that's pretty normal, I guess. I made a few misplays with forgetting to check some dark world locations with the mirror, but otherwise being locked out of dungeons was nice for keeping the seed fast. Hammerjump was very important for the early Cane of Somaria.!<

!Found the big key in the front of TT and cleared it out before realizing small keys were shuffled. Skipping that big chest made me very late to light world access. Also went all the way to Ice Armos and died on them. Good thing whatever was back there wasn't needed, but a big waste of time. After the mountain I chose to go to Swamp Palace first because I was worried about PoD small keys. Would have been faster to do Eastern/PoD first and go mode the rest, oh well. Anybody find boots?!<

!I didn't and I dipped MM and the desert area. Were probably in TR though I only did laser bridge which had the flute I think?!<

!Well that run sucked.. more like I sucked. Great start, got TT BK before I dipped and had LW access just after 15 mins. Then I just straight avoided the mountain for like, an hour more. If I'd gone there this would have been a sub 1:30 seed. Ah well, that's what rando throws up. Still fun to do an inverted here every now and then :)!<

!I gotta say, once you get past the usual Inverted bottleneck by hitting up TT, this one is rather plesant. Got light world, did my chores, hit the goddamn jackpot in the mountains which lead to a clean little PoD/Eastern with very few side stops and just balled out of control from there. 0 crystal tower was kinda scary, but I hit it up before I got stumped and there were all sorts of needed small keys down there. Finished up some items left behind in PoD, got a fire rod, then SW, IP (slower than was strictly needed because I desperately hoped boots were in one of the two). When I found MM big key with my 2nd check and right by MM's boss door I gave up on boots and just got to murdering things. Got lucky in GT in the first torch room with the fire bar and executed it first try no boots (hadn't really done it without boots before so I had a bit of a worry) killed the samurai pizza cat, stuck a pig and bingo bango triforce tango.!<

!This inverted seed was pretty generous especially starting out with the sword. Pendant TR never fails to hold you up with that SP key. Having butter sword early helped out a lot too. For some reason, I derped in IP and forgot to flip the switch at the beginning. And even though I had the big key and red cane, I still took the long way around looking for a switch before I realized I had entry to the boss room the whole time...!<
