There now exists a new record held by Eli 'Smilge' Chase done in 26 segments. He came in with a time of 23 minutes and 9 seconds, more than halving the time by Dominic. This run was posted to [[Speed Demos Archive]] in January 19th, 2010. This run only counts in-game time and edits out loading and saving screens. Note that Throne of Bhaal, the expansion to Shadow of Amn, was installed for this run, which changes Shadow of Amn in some minor ways further described on the SDA page.

*"Potion Swap Glitch" is when you open the inventory screen while paused and click to use a potion in a quick slot. When you exit the inventory screen and un-pause, the potion will be consumed. However, if you swap that potion with another item, that item will be used instead, even if the character is restricted from conventionally using that item.
