The glitched Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow main quest TAS has become even more glitched. Using an obscure out-of-room travel technique involving in-game saving and subsequent dying, klmz ploughs through the game with confident pace of a cold-blooded killing machine in a little under seven minutes — whole 5 minutes and 20 seconds faster than the previous movie by zggzdydp.

We recommend reading the author's comments for more information on the death warp glitch and other timesaving techniques used to make this improvement happen.

If you would like to see more of the game, we also have a warpless Aria of Sorrow movie here.
