About the Run

  • This is an improved version of Submission #3170
All the tricks and glitches used in this run can be found here: #2255: arukAdo's DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin in 11:40.35

An improving point

  • Fadeout lug shortening of the beginning and the highest floor
 Since the random number became good by this, "Short Sword" equipment was also optimized. 
  • Optimization of shopping
 sell "Tome of Arms 1" and buy "Tonic"*4 and "CASTLE MAP1." The necessity that this takes 
 "Head Guard" was lost. 
  • Change of the enemy who Attack for LVUP. Route change accompanying it
 The enemy who attacks is changed into "Final Guard"*4 from "keremet". This one is synthetically 
 quicker although one upper level which it becomes impossible to take "Double-jump" and suffers 
 troubles by "Death" Battle also falls. 

Special Thanks

  • arukAdo: The route of "Final Sword" version TAS Submission #2513 which he made is the origin of this TAS.
  • gocha: I was allowed to refer to a memory address list. Moreover, it is the direction first solved in "Multiple hits Glitch". More than half of this TAS is made of his distinguished services.
  • hellagels: It taught that item buy had a mistake.

Dooty: Accepted. Although it's still not easy to tell exactly what's going on most of the time, and this is a good thing, the new route made it much cleaner than your previous run.

"The second Castlevania title released on Nintendo DS after Dawn of Sorrow, this game is a direct sequel to BloodLines on Sega Genesis. Dracula rises from the dead yet again (cue groan), and it's up to Jonathan Morris, helped out by Charlotte Aulin, a powerful mage student, to defeat him. " You spelled "Organ" wrong.

...yes, I supposed you should cue the organ when Dracula rises. But the groan is the sound everyone else makes when they realize they have to put him back in the dirt again.
