13% is the lowest amount of items in which a human can beat the game via defeating all major bosses without using major glitches, but while utilizing either L+R walljumping or ammo underflow at Draygon. 13% IcePb is the second in-bounds 13% category that has been completed RTA using ammo underflow and not L+R. A total of 13 items are picked up during the entire run. This and 13% PbPb are perhaps the hardest categories ever completed by a human.
With proper positioning and drop luck, it's possible to Crystal Flash at Draygon with a maximum Power Bomb count of only 10, as seen with the obsoleted Any% TAS that used underflow. Detailed info how this was done can be found here.
Notably, this and 13% xPb are the only completed 13% categories that don't give some advantage to keyboard over controller, either by requiring L+R or requiring underwater walljumping without L+R. The hypothetical GravityCharge is the only other potential 13% category that doesn't require those two things.

Tutorials
- Kingofthehill476 (w/ ShinyZeni) - Explains how to perform the 10pb underflow at Draygon including workable patterns and input timing.
- King's 10pb Underflow Notes - Covers information that may not have been covered in the tutorial above including details about the RNG and images of pb placement timing across multiple setups.
- Kingofthehill476 - Shows more optimal Colosseum strats
- matrick2298 - Goes over the entirety of the suitless maridia, including alternate strats for some areas. Mainly aimed towards xIce runs, but the info translates easily (except for underflow).
- Schmeman - Goes over the Mt. Everest room in maridia.
