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 is perhaps the most difficult category on the main board to optimize or even complete.
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 in the tutorials section below
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.
