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 Lab|Here,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 Madness|After 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 Chapel|The 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 Abyss|The 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:
