Dragon Quest XI Switch Any% Speedrun Notes

AndyPerfect:

Created by '''AndyPerfect'''

This guide is the result of combining Highspirit's guide [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GaKrQcKH86wGOen_rPulDxX2Ugkklgttwsk1F6ba3uc found here] along with strategies used by user aoiro_kuroaka as well as new ones developed by myself. The first draft was completed on October 12, 2019. This guide may still change periodically as it's the main guide I use for running. Changes will likely be pretty minimal though as the route is already pretty well established.

= Act 1 =

== The Luminary ==

# Attack out
