			== Appendix I: Metal Slime Hunt ==
			[https://www.twitch.tv/sumdeaner SumDeaner] has done an amazing job putting together a guide on how to hunt metal slimes in this [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cb6mPJDWN_KEk7xOG5hd8RfqMEZUWZxmiD04syOrFOw/edit?tab=t.0 Google doc].

			It is currently the best complete guide you can get in English language.

			Note that the current world record which is followed by this guide uses walking as main method to perform frame corrections.

			Basically, metal slimes are hunted while walking towards Melkido.

			== Appendix II: Half-step technique ==
			This technique helps reducing encounters while moving around the map.

			It is documented in the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZH4hj81wt41y50C1B5dbS74nJHkPrmn2ti9SNRhcjo/edit?tab=t.0 DQ1RTA Race Chart] guide from [https://www.twitch.tv/kiki_da_yo Kiki Da Yo]

			== Appendix III: Dragonlord fight ==
			You can find Dragonlord attack patterns and HP in the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZH4hj81wt41y50C1B5dbS74nJHkPrmn2ti9SNRhcjo/edit?tab=t.0 DQ1RTA Race Chart] guide from [https://www.twitch.tv/kiki_da_yo Kiki Da Yo]
