An improved movie of Aria of Sorrow, using warping glitches to travel in- and outside of the castle with extreme speed.

This time it's played on Normal difficulty level, unlike the previous version by pirate_sephiroth. There are several reasons for this choice — you might want to read the discussion threads for this game for more details. Considering the inability to skip in-game dialogues (which is only possible on Hard mode), the route was also changed accordingly.

Like in the previous movie, you may notice the author stopping for a brief moment before making the final blow to some enemies. This is due to luck manipulation, which is one of the main speed factors for all speedruns of this game.

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
