This is my first submission here. I can't write English well. Therefore, wrong on the grammar is found a lot.
  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.1.0a
  • Aims for fastest time.
  • Manipulates luck.

Note:The large majority of re-record count are due to my bots. I think the count of re-records made by me (without bots) is about 2500.

About the game:Wizardry is an old-RPG style game. Now, this game is so simple and cheap,but I think this game is very good. "The Knight of Diamonds" is the 2nd scenario in Wizardry. But this game was released after the 3rd senario, "Legacy of Llylgamyn" in the Family Computer version. Because original version was made for expert characters and players, so it was necessary to arrange it so that beginner characters and players may also play easily.
               
I omit the explanation of the game system and story, sorry. The goal of the game is to get "Staff of Gnilda" and bring it to the castle of Llylgamyn. But only the person who equips armors of "The Knight of Diamonds"(Sword, Armor, Shield, Helmet, and Gauntlets) can take this staff.

About the run:
  • I create two Dwarf Fighters who have Strength 20 and 19.
    • When Strength exceeds 16, (Strength-15) damages are added about one time of the attack frequency.
    • The character who has Strength 19 or more can be created by the Dwarf only.
  • I pick up them and go into the Maze.
  • In B1F, I go to stairs to B2F and go down.
  • In B2F, I go into a room and beat monster(Mummy).Then I go to stairs to B3F by Teleporter trap of a chest.And I get "Sword of Slicing"(Long Sword+1) and "Sword of Slashing"(Long Sword+2).
  • In B3F, I have Figters equip with swords, and go into a room and beat monsters(Carriars).
    • Only Carriars can drop a chest which has Teleporter trap and "Ring of Movement" in B3F.
  • I go to an encounter room by Teleporter trap and get two "Ring of Movement" and one "Coin of Power".
  • I beat monsters(Carriars) again, and teleport the room where Magic Sword(HP=100)is, and get two "Ring of Movement".
  • I beat Magic Sword and get "Hrathnir"(KOD's Sword), and go down B4F.
  • In B4F, I go to the place where Magic Helmet(HP=200) is. Then I beat it and get "KOD's Helmet".
  • I have Fighters equip with "Hrathnir" and "Sword of Slashing",and the Fighter who has "Sword of Slashing" invokes Secial Power of "Coin of Power" to change Ninja. Because Ninja's the attack frequency is more than other jobs once.
  • I use "Ring of Movement" and go to the place in B1F where Magic Armor(HP=300) is. Then I beat it and get "KOD's Armor".
    • Magic Armor has 300 HP and heals 5 HP every turn. The Figther who has "Hrathnir" and Strength 19 can damage 68 in the maximum. The Ninja who has "Sword of Slashing" and Strength 20 can damege 85 in the maximum.
  • I use "Ring of Movement" and go to the place in B2F where Magic Shield(HP=150) is.Then I beat it and get "KOD's Shield".
  • I use "Ring of Movement" and go to the place in B5F where Magic Gauntlets(HP=128) are.Then I beat them and get "KOD's Gauntlets".And the Ninja is killed by intention.Because when restarting the adventure, the dead body is removed by the party.
  • I go down B6F and dissolve the party.
  • I restart the adventure, and have the Fighter equips KOD's items.Then I go into the last room and trade KOD's items for "Staff of Gnilda".
    • The party can go into the last room if the party is alone and equips KOD's items.
  • I use "Ring of Movement" and go to moat in the castle. Then I skip some messages and game is over.

About other things in the game:
  • The license screen can't be skipped about 3 seconds.
  • The progression rate of the game doesn't change even if we change game switches.
  • Bonus appears 60 in the maximum, so we can create Ninja or Load at first. But it takes time altering scores. (Later than using items)
  • Two Fighters remain from game beginning, but their Strength is low(11), and they have some unnecessary items.
  • Animated objects(KOD's items) can't be defeated with the critical hit.
  • Some items are needed to go into rooms "on foot" where Animated Objects(without Magic Helmet and Gauntlets) are.
