Xenkaroshi made the first comprehensive tutorial for the Any% speedrun of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest back in 2017, but this one updates for the strategies developed in the next 4 years. The key differences include a faster and more difficult grind of the lizardmen to start the game, the newer floor drop setup to get to Death in Brahm's Mansion, the SBDWolf exit for Bodley Mansion using the nail to break blocks, and the squerc setup for whittling down Dracula's health and needing to only land one holy water critical hit instead of two.
