This is the third clear of this category ever done! Easily one of the hardest categories in the game that doesn't involve playing multiple characters or Coda.

Aria is the original challenge character of this game, she has 1 hp, cannot use weapons other than a base dagger and dies on missed beat. Low% means you cannot pick up any items. Just getting a regular Aria low% clear is an extremely difficult achievement that requires hundreds of hours of playtime. Hard mode greatly increases number of enemies and adds spawners that will constantly spawn enemies behind you as you progress through the level. The worst part however, are the extra minibosses added to each boss. These are very much not balanced for low% runs and a lot of the boss fights become impossible to clear.

Overall the seed was very easy compared to what the game usually throws at you in this category. There was not a single really bad floor layout and the boss order was pretty much optimal (no deep blues is huge!). The scariest moments of the run were miniboss swarm on 2-3, very off the rails Conga fight with unplanned dagger throw and red bars on 1-1 because of a really annoying monkey sarco.
