I think it all boils down to your strategy for beating Seth. I planned my run in advance with the goal of gettin over 30 strength by the end & herb boots then just rush through it, thinking Seth would be piece o cake after I could get my hits pass his 30 defense. Boy was it not that simple... the fight in the 4th part is dang hilarious to watch... I can't believe I made it through after sucking like that. 
I'm pretty sure there are better ways to go about it. Hellfire is deadly but slow recharging and expensive to get, so I didn't care to aim for that. Heavy bow might work, but bow lore is also expensive to get, and there aren't many fast ways to get gold in the game. It's probably plausible to just buy the claw sword (light sword if ya can afford it), miss some of the harder to reach powerups to save time, and go wreck Seth's head off in record time.
The glitch is just simply a small gap in hardness, as long as an official patch doesn't fix it (there's a few more hardness errors like it in other places), it's part of the game and of course you can take advantage of it - and you should, it's a speedrun after all. And yea I made pretty bad mistakes all over, but like Skull said luck is involved in many many ways in this game so it's easy for simple things to end up taking you much longer in repeat attempts.
