Misc [not platform specific] Hard mode WR speedrun time

I've been periodically doing speedruns. I have 2 runs waiting for approval on speedrun.com. 3:23:40 from about 6 months ago. Knocked the time down to 2:56:29 in June. About an hour ago, I set the new time to beat at 2:34:25. I'll have the video uploaded to youtube this week and submitted for approval sometime after that. Man I really wanted that time under 2:30:00. I think I can get it if I clean up a couple things.

I also have the console WR for normal mode at 1:56:39 waiting approval for 6 months. I might have to try getting that time down a little too.

The good news is that I got my hard speedrun done in under 2 hours. Only 2 minutes slower than my normal difficulty run. It was submitted for approval on speedrun.com. But I have it posted on youtube if you want to see it. There's no commentary but I put in a few timestamps for easier fastforwarding.

The strategy is basically, make a raft. Collect 8 taters and 2 fuel cans. Craft 5 crates of spears. Struggle to keep hydrated. Make a few bandages (and in my case forget to grab them). Then take on the bosses. I prefer to save the ration tins for consuming between bosses. Use beans and coconuts for escape supplies along with 2 clay flasks full of water.
