Speed Run: Hellfire Ramparts Part Two

Speed Run: Hellfire Ramparts #2It had been such a long time since my first Speed Run attempt through Hellfire Ramparts that I thought I’d take another crack at it today.

I had high hopes that I could finish the entire Hellfire Ramparts instance in under 20 minutes but, as the image above shows, I ran just a bit too long.

I’ve put together a short list of “rules” that I follow when I make my own Speed Runs if you’re curious. For the record, I skin everything as I go. I’m curious what my time would be if I didn’t do that. I bet it would fall in the 18-19 minute range.

I also came up with a small set of rules, or guidelines, I would follow for this and any future runs I make.
