All that's left is to fill out the item and shard lists, and rack up 500k in gold. It'll be a bitch, but a good chunk of players notched the platinum. I'll tackle this challenge after Ghost of Tsushima.

Did just that. In another "This is basically Symphony of the Night" move, Zangetsu pretty much controls similar to Richter. You can't invert, and all the spikes you'd need the pretty dress to bypass are removed, but otherwise, you can essentially traverse the entire map just from his abilities.

Just be aware that the enemy damage scaling around the map is the same in the areas that you would normally get to later in a standard Miriam run. Like, you can jump of to the Oriental Lab in about 5 minutes after you get off the ship, but Zangetsu doesn't recover health unless you use a save room... no health recharge over time or ability to use found items outside of any HP/MP ups scattered around where they'd normally be. However, you can level up faster if you brave it early on.

Lastly, be careful. Included with having the full run of the map, it includes the boss rooms Miriam needs the keys for. Want to know what happens when you walk into the Old Warhorse's room while only at like level 3? Fuck around and find out like I did. Wasn't pretty.
