Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean Speed Run ~Segment 31~ speedrun

For segment 31, I investigate MIRA, more specifically DETOURNE, THE MYSTICAL GARDEN. From the first screen, I hop to the right and speak with the gardener who reveals to me the identity of The Golden Hero, triggering him to appear. I speak with the Hero to acquire JET BOOTS, which make me run really fast, but only in the maze. I keep speaking with him until he gives me the WHITE SWORD, which does nothing. I only do this, so I can advance to his next gift, the RED NECKLACE. This allows me to run through the flames up ahead and saves me some time in the maze.
There are three blobs in the maze section, and I need to kill all of them. The battles contain 1-3 enemies. I would have accepted battles of one, one, and two enemies to continue, but I got lucky with only one enemy in each battle. The odds of that are roughly 3.5%.
In the first battle Kalas goes off. He has a few open slots in his deck, but it hardly matters as you can see. Savyna finishes the job. I take the stairs at the middle-top which leads me to the second blob. I make some interesting choices with Kalas by fudging up a straight and then skipping a spirit finisher, but I get the kill anyway. I backtrack and find the third blob, defeating him in the same fashion. We then hear the chime that indicates the golden treasure has appeared at the lower left.
Next, I proceed through the stairs in the middle of the maze into a room with a set of scales. I make the blue pan heavier, and it flips the entire level upside down. It's hard to explain without going into too much detail. Now by taking the bottom stairs it leads me to the golden treasure which is the essence of the GOLDEN PICK AXE. Thank god I have this, so I can finish this horrible level. It may look simple, but it took some time to figure out the right path and get past the blobs. I then take the top stairs again. Notice the chain and key. I break the chain so that when I flip the level again, it will drop down, and I can grab the key. Now I save because it's the only time I can save before I fight the next boss and I'm not chancing it.
