Trick Used

Thanks to Kriole for finding the good dash trick Here is the command to do so:
If you go right: >
                <      L       
                  v>
                <      L
                  v>
If you go left : <
                 >    L
                  <v
                 >    L

Stage by Stage Comment

StageComments
Intro StageIn this stage,I can get the 3 souls (Red,Blue,Yellow) without luck manipulation
The Lost VillageFirst thing that I do here is meeting Yoko and Julius for obtaining the Magic Seal 1,then going to beating Flying Armor
Wisardry LabHere,I must get the mind up,this is a nessecary item for the glitche.After that,I beat Balore for upgrading the level and obtain Balore soul,this is an Ability which can shattes Crystal Blocks
Garden of MadnessAfter entering directly to this room,I save the game for the zip glitch,then (using luck manipulation) I obtain Yorick's soul,the preferable weapon for beating Dmittri on The Dark Chapel
The Dark ChapelThe pre-final stage,and here I beat Dmittri using Yorick's soul then I use Lua Scripting for the zip glitch,then collect the acheive things then suspend the game
The AbyssThe Short and Final Stage.After restarting the game,I go to the warp room for going to the stage and get the good end
Total stages: 6 Stages

Special Thanks To:

  • Kriole: for his 100% souls run and his trick
  • gocha: for his Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow glitched run

This is all comments


Nach: This run can be a bit better, but is overall a nice improvement with good response. Since it's been a while since the last TAS was published, I'm going to accept this improvement, despite that it can be better.
