As you might've guessed, this guide is for people who want to be in and out of Afterlands as quickly as possible. I've focused on covering only the bare minimum so that everyone can go through the world with the right list in mind. This guide is Perm Starter friendly (Beginner/Noblesse/Legend/Citizen/???).

Forced fight: Exit through the portal. It's not necessary to fight all 3 waves and it is actually faster to proceed through the quest line because if you completed the waves, you would have to smack the chain to lower the sun.
(Perm Starter Option: Leave through portal (ain't no one got time to wait 30 minutes for a forced fight to finish).)
Kill Fashionable Balrog in monster map 2. Collect the key from the balrog. Do not say to use the key. Collect 30 shoulder pieces from balrogs(used later).
New day: go to second monster map and defeat 25 Mushroom Marauders and Battle Balrogs quickly to win control over the day.
(Perm Starter Option: Defeat 24 Mushroom Murauders and 25 Battle Balrogs. Farm Battle Balrogs for 30 Battle Balrog's Armor. Reset the map and prepare to deal a lot of damage to the last Mushroom Marauder as quickly as possible. If you do not win control over the day, you will have to wait for the RNG to roll 2 loot missions. The first one is for you to loot up to 29 items. The items do not disappear if you quit out of completing the mission. Cycle through the lands until there is another loot mission for you to get the last remaining item. If you're quick enough, this will guarentee you winning control over the day).
