Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow in 28:58 segment 5

This is a speedrun done on an emulator using (rarely, but still) save states. Still my aim was to make it look just as real as I would be doing the run on a real console - this explains all my in-game save choices and why there are no TAS-only-like maneuvers. I did this sheerly out of boredom after playing the game for the first time and then watching a run done by Satoryu. After planning everything I thought I could finish under like 37 minutes or so, which I kinda did. Also sorry for the lack of sound, the original videos desynched badly so I just cut it out. I'll be releasing a couple of segments each week.

Time - 12:08

First I take care of dmitrii, then malphas. Malphas's soul, beside double jump, gives another useful ability: the divekick. Although not really noticable you move at about 1.5 horizontal speed while divekicking, so I'll be abusing this as much as I can without taking any risks at simply mashing the buttons and hoping that I won't do a slide making the whole thing not worth it. This method saves about a whole minute throughout the run. I use the dark chapel's warp to get back to the garden of madness. Using the newly acquired double jump ability I get the elfin robe, which gives a nice intelligence boost (which makes my spells hurt even more).
