About the run

New zipping glitch

It will reproduce , if screen outside LVUP at a place with a screen change.In order to make it reproduce by the skill of axe, a certain necessity for a change is upside a screen. Furthermore, a return place needs to be in a wall. This place can attain this condition early most.

About the place which made the zipping glitch reproduce this submission

The open space top of the two-room left cannot usually come and go from the place of Flying Armer.but, only by coming and going ordinarily being impossible, there is a map change judging in fact.The zipping glitch is started using this change judging more quickly than the obsolete.Moreover, it stopped on the way in order to earn exp for making it LVUP at this place, and Armer Knight is kill.

Note

  • This glitch can be used also by Julius Mode.Since it can go to Mine of judgement, without setting a flag, julius mode tas should be able to also be updated sharply.

Fun, the way the run is constantly getting improved.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive.

Improving the TAS in less time the publishing process takes, twice! At least the encode's easier to make now, since IT'S SO SHORT. Yes vote, of course!

Love how the in-game timer freaks out and jumps twice. (to 00:02:05.xx --> 4971:08:15.52 --> 4972.21:04.65) Yes vote! Four thousand hours! Desert Bus, you better watch out! We got a new challenger!

Too long setup. How about INSTANTLY glitching the flying heck out of the damn gaem? Guys are impatient after all!

Guys, stop being so slow with the publishing. Remember, the in game timer is not suitable for deciding how much video to capture.

There's no peak in that.

Wow!! LONGEST TAS EVER! Over 4700hrs and it's not even Desert Bus! Yet you still compact it all into an awesome TAS! Definitely a wonderful improvement. But could you explain the zipping glitch in more detail for those of us who are having trouble understanding the seemingly random movement on the map? Like it looks like you have control along the way, but not really... Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

I think that it is because you need enough mana to finish the zip.

To start the zip, actually. He has barely enough mana to throw the bone and activate the axe special. I think the small amount of MP he has left after it drops is due to levelling up off the bat.
I am still the wizard that did it. "On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." -- Satoru Iwata <scrimpy> at least I now know where every map, energy and save room in this game is

The grinding is two-fold. 1. To be at a high enough level for MP usage to pull off both techniques. 2. To be at the right EXP level in order to get a level up while killing that bat. If he doesn't kill the bat in the middle of the axe's special attack, the zip won't trigger.

I think my favourite improvement out of all of this is that Skeleton soul actually has a use. If only Ghost soul did.
