Notes:  This run is the fourth I've done.  The previous three were done with
having mouselook on.  This one does not use mouselook at all.  This is a
speedrun through the game on the third difficulty using the Cleric.  About
three unique tricks have been found, and one of them is used twice in the
game.  I do fidgit a bit, but doesn't cost much time.  I'm unsure about the
usage of the Chaos Devices I found, as I use them both in the same hub, at
different levels of course.  As for the tricks used:

Enemy boosting - I use this trick once on the Wastelands, though I botch the
jump from the Ettin to higher ground the first time.  I make the second jump
onto the desired area.  Normally, you would have to kill a lot of Ettins to
gain access to the gray canyons.  I'm pretty sure this trick saves time.  The
same trick was used again in Dungeons, and I execute it successfully the first
time there.  The one in Dungeons I actually practiced a whole lot :)

Seven Portals trick - Involves two annoying jumps that are possible to be done
on the first try.  If you've seen Vile's 'Seven Portals Trick' demo, then you
know what it is.  If not, then basically, you have to hit a puzzle solve
switch in Guardian of Steel and Guardian of Fire.  At the second visit to
Guardian of Ice, you have to go over the triggers that surround the steel key,
after causing the ice to crackle around in the section before it, and simply
placing the Flame Mask in the Fire Key room.  This will make the center flight
of stairs rise.  You need to use this flight of stairs to jump to the other
two sides and pull the Minotaur switches on both sides.  The right side while
on the steps is more harder though.  It might not be possible to jump there
with the Mage though :\.  The three minotaur switches at the top of the flight
of stairs and the two sides you need to jump to are all that's needed to open
the way to the end of the hub.

Heresiarch Seminary trick - Basically open the way to the Orchard of
Lamentations, but don't go there.  Instead, backtrack to the main room of
the Seminary.  Two sets of bars are now open.  Enter through the left bar set,
and you'll see another set of bars not raised yet.  These bars normally would
raise after killing the Heresiarch, but you can actually squeeze through.  You
need to squeeze through the right side, strafe running and jumping, and also
wiggle a bit.  It may take a while, but it's way faster than going through
the hub the normal way.
