not that anyone gives the slightest duck, but robj did go ahead and get wimpy winner.
took a bunch of version swapping as the hardness error in the derelict mine doesn't work in freedink (though, you can sink into the left during the screenlock and then rubberband back up...forgot where i saw that before but i probably put a quick video of it in the dink discord). it worked in hd, though. BUT...IN HD, there is a specific screen under koka island that freezes once you hit the map boundary. more freakish dink mysteries. he finished at level 3, skipping everything once reaching terris.
while he was doing this, however, i decided to give it a go as well, but i tried a different strategy. i found that you don't need to skip anything until much later. i did what robj did, avoiding every possible source of exp i could, got enemies to kill eachother and whatnot, and even killed bishop nelson opening the way to kernsin. from there i did all the usual stuff, still avoiding whatever i could.
i was level 3 by the time i got to koka island, grabbed all the bonuses there, and then just save scummed the duck fight minigame until i had 5000 gold for a lightsword and elixir. i forgot to buy elixirs when going to the edge of the world...so that's pretty much the end of that. i took the bridge that has shitty hardness and then took the river there to the north. got on top of the trees next to the teleporter, used the teleporter, went back and got a lightsword. still level 3.
there are a couple screenlocks in the darklands on the way to seth. if you stay at the very bottom of the map and just keep hugging that wall, you'll have to face a slayer and some dragons, then 4 slayers. dragons don't have anything to do with screenlocks, so it's not really an issue. also, i only put points into magic, and got every potion there is outside the darklands so i had 12 magic. should help in deflecting their harm spells.
all in latest freedink. so, definitely doable at level 3. hell, if you get to 4, there's 1600 more exp to go. so, it's pretty ducking lenient.
so as for screenlocks. in murkwood, take the right path. less enemies. for darklands, looks like there should be a way to get to seth without any screenlocks, but its a longer path. so if you wanna try all this shit in a speedrun, bottom path is probably best.
