If you have any questions about the run, feel free to DM Cromish on Twitch ( https://www.twitch.tv/cromish ). He's currently having issues logging in to SRL and can't respond on here.

I posted this on SDA already, but I thought I'd put it here for posterity. This works for any battles including overworld encounters and boss battles. I believe it's either slightly faster or slightly slower than a first try Platoon, but there's very little to no RNG in doing the glitch so no more resetting 3+ hours in if the AI just completely shafts you at Platoon.

Items duplicate based on the order in which you received the items in your inventory.

To duplicate items:

  1. Get into an encounter and use up all of any one item
  2. Win the fight
  3. Get into another encounter and die
  4. Continue and you should have duplicated the last item you received (so if the last item you received was the Great Sage's Secret and you had 3 total at the start of the first encounter, you'll get an additional 3 after continuing)

There are also a few properties to the glitch that I've found after some testing:

  1. If you completely use up X items and perform the glitch, you duplicate the last X items you got in your inventory (haven't tested what happens if you say get 3 coffees, buy a bunch of different items, then buy 1 more coffee)

  2. If you use up 1 item in a battle and win, then use up X more items in another battle and win, the game saves the items that should get duplicated. ex: If the order you received items was White Bread, Poison-Be-Gone, Blindness-Be-Gone, Curse-Be-Gone, and Iced Coffee and you use up the White Bread in the first encounter and then the Poison and Blindness-Be-Gone in the next encounter and ¤then¤ proceed to die, you will get 2 iced coffees and 1 Curse-Be-Gone. (Haven't done extensive testing on using items up in weird orders, but I did do one weird combination in the video and I think I have a grasp of how the game processes the glitch)

  3. If you get a provision after a battle, it can screw up the setup. (I haven't done extensive testing on this, but I did get the glitch to not work when I used White Bread for the glitch and got another White Bread at the end of the encounter)

With duplication, it means the run would require you to get into a bunch of encounters at Old Smoky to duplicate the Great Sage's Secrets 4-5 times. I think 5 times might be ideal as you can sell just 3 of the secrets first and buy the Coffees you need then sell a few more for Cappucinos, and then use the rest of the secrets for the rest of the game (which would probably somewhat trivialize the endgame bosses since you would fully heal and restore MP per use instead of just recovering one or the other) although I don't know what would be the most efficient way to route in duplication.
