GCN Low Transforms

Runs should start with a blank file in slots 1, 2, and 3, as all files are used during the run.

This run has multiple long Pickup Slides, including a 10-hour slide, so it is a good idea to plan accordingly.

Start on file 2.

Transforms:

  • Transform 1: Sewers (Wolf)
  • Transform 2: Coro TD, post-Eldin and Lanayru Tears (Human)
