-Livesplit is a timer used by speedrunners across many different games to keep track of their splits. It integrates with speedrun.com and allows you to compare against any runs that provide splits.
-=== Getting Started ===
-Installing and running Livesplit is very simple.
-  - Download the .zip file provided here: http://livesplit.org/downloads/
-  - Extract the contents of the folder.
-  - Run Livesplit.exe
-=== Setting Up Splits ===
-Once you have Livesplit installed, go to [[https://www.speedrun.com/hades/resources]] and download the splits for the category you want. These will be in a .zip file containing:
-  * <Category>Splits.lss -- This file holds all of your splits, icons, and times. It is the more important of the two files; if you lose this file, you lose all of your previous run data.
-  * <Category>Layout.lsl -- This file holds the layout that your splits are displayed in. This does not hold any of your run data, so if you lose it you can just make another.
-  * <Category>Layout_Chroma.lsl -- This is the same as the <Category>Layout.lsl file, but is set up to work with Chroma Key to make your splits transparent. If you want to do this, follow [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiuxAyk7nN4|this guide made by DarkViperAU]]
-  * For **multiweapon** categories, you can also download the Icons.zip file, to update your splits based on which Aspect you decide to run for each weapon.
-  * For the **Fresh File** category, the folder contains a Splits file for each of the current routes.
-Once you have the splits downloaded and extracted:
-  * Double-click the <Category>Splits.lss to open the splits in Livesplit.
-  * Right-click the running Livesplit window > Open Layout > From File… > Select the Layout file you want to use.
-While running, make sure you have Global Hotkeys turned on. If they are turned off, there will be a red bar at the top of your splits. While they are off, you will not be able to split while in-game, and will instead have to click on LiveSplit in order to split.
-=== When to Split ===
-If you are running a single-run (non-Fresh File) category such as Any Heat, you can use the autosplitter, made by Ellomenop and Sebastien. To use it, open your splits, right-click Livesplit and select "Edit Splits" and then click the Activate button at the top of the window that opens.
-=== Starting the Timer ===
-For any category other than Fresh File, time starts when you gain control of Zagreus. This can be a little tricky to get started properly, however, so many people just start the timer when they click “Begin Escape” and subtract the extra time (usually about 6 seconds) when submitting.
-For **Fresh File**, time starts when you create the save file.
-=== Split timings ===
-There are two main options for splitting. When you kill the boss, or when you enter the door after the boss. Most people split as soon as the boss dies.
-For Styx, you split when you open the door to the Surface.
-For Hades, split as soon as possible after Hades dies (when the invincibubble appears)
-=== Submitting your run ===
-Livesplit is not necessary for a submitted run. The main reason to run it is for convenience for both the runner and viewers. Therefore, if you have an issue with  your splits, just keep going.
-No matter what happens with your Livesplit timer, after your run, go back and re-time it based on the video. Your time starts when the in-game timer appears and you gain control of Zagreus, and time ends as soon as the invincibubble appears around Hades.
-When submitting a run, you can submit your splits along with it by uploading them to https://splits.io and including the link. This will allow your run to be imported as a comparison for other people in Livesplit, and show each of your splits below the video on your run. It is completely optional.
