In a regular NES version, a Solo Thief is considered IMPOSSIBLE since you can't get by ASTOS (however, one person managed to do so) In an emulator, it just simply takes a long time (50% shorter if you savestate during battle)
@Sandbag00 I've seen video of it done on the NES by a few different people. The Astos battle is largely dependent on critical hits smashing him before he casts a successful Rub.
Also, savestating during a battle kinda defeats the purpose of a self-imposed challenge in my opinion
@Sandbag00 Nah! I beat the game with Solo thief without savestating. Astos' Rub does not always work. Level up the Thief a little if needed. Nothing big there. ;)
