[TAS] Frost Gate w/ Bonus - Solo - 9:39 - [Loco]

Since nobody else bothered to do it......
Thanks to Gurky (& Grant) for pointing out that you can in fact glitch the 2nd gate, which saves about 20s on the previous strat.
After that, you still need to line up the stone timing with getting the book, which is a lot of RNG but what I found is that the stone will go AFK when you leave compass/pathable range, and only heal itself. So, you need to kill some of the stone summit so the stone won't just die (and hope it has a heal), get through the bonus gate quick enough without pulling the boss group aggro with you before the stone can trigger the cutscene, grab the book, and then yeet back to the gate so the stone can finish it off. This run I got this pretty much perfect, and I had insane luck with not getting frozen bursted.
Unfortunately I wasn't locked in enough to not choke after the cutscene, but that seems to be how this mission goes.
Looking at it, there is probably enough choking/time waste in here to get an 8 min, but I also got super clean glitches, no frost bursts, and no blocks on the levers, so I will happily stop rolling the dice on this record (for now).

Also big up the GOAT JV for gifting me the final piece of the puzzle and fixing my gate glitching, as well as giving me a shitload of rocks however many months ago after the 10 min
