    Praetorium speedrun - Can you beat our record?

    Hello everyone,

    Anyone who is farming philo stones probably agrees with this statement: CM runs are soporific at best. The bosses are boring, the mobs are incredibly stupid and there's no real atmosphere. For that reason, I started to organize a few days ago Praetorium speedruns, which are admittedly slightly longer than optimized CM runs but a million times more fun for the same reward (100x stones).

    As time went on, more and more people started to join our groups, figuring out the best way to beat it in an optimal time - the very definition of speedrunning. Today we beat our own record, with 93 minutes and 50 seconds left (25:10 total runtime) :

    Our comp and gear is faaaaaaaar from optimal (I'm the only one with relic weapon), but I'm curious to see if the community is willing to take on the challenge and beat our record if you want to do so, please post a screenshot right before the death of the last boss!

    I've done 22:15 in a PUG,

    leaders personal best was 21: something(I forget) he had a relic.

    You can probably get less than 20 mins with an all relic party AF2, and the right setup.

    I was in a PUG that finished it in 5 minutes while engaging all enemies and watching all cutscenes. We also spent 4:50 just standing around talking about our strategy, so really it was 5 seconds.
    I totally forgot to take a screenshot, but it doesnt matter anyway.

    Bragging about speed runs only leads to them nerfing the dungeon. Haven't we learned anything yet?

    Did a SR without relics in 23:10 in a group of mostly brds the other night. That was fun. Incoming Praetorium nerf.
