Speedrun of Deep Dungeon: Madou Senki (FDS) - any% in 17:43.167
3(Reposted from Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1991767388)
Quick, easy run. I made a few minor mistakes, but the RNG was so good early on that this is probably about as fast as this run is going to get.
Since I didn't really explain the route during the video, here's a quick summary:
- Buy a "fragrance" (こうりょう) from the item shop. This casts a sleep spell at a cost of 1 HP.
- Search trash piles on floor 1 for gold, and reduce your HP down to 1 in encounters.
- Go to a friendly encounter with an adventurer (eg., at 11,2). Use the "fragrance" to reduce your HP to 0, then use it again to underflow your HP to 65535.
- Defeat the adventurer if necessary. Need to have 55 Gold at this point.
- Note that holding Right+A on controller 2 will guarantee a critical hit with every attack.
- Return to town. Sell the "fragrance" and buy a copper sword.
- Proceed through the dungeon. Get the "boat" at 0,29 on floor 5.
- Backtrack, and use the boat to pass through the flooded areas of floor 5. Proceed.
- On floor 7, defeat the statue at 14,15 and search to find the "mark" at 15,17.
- Backtrack all the way to floor 2. Take the ladder at 29,0 to reach the "town" section of floor 3.
- Go to 22,6 to be teleported to the final floor (requires the "mark").
- Hit the switch at 7,3 to open a door.
- Pick up the "short blade" (たんけん) at 8,3. Using this will block enemy spells, preventing the demon enemies and the final boss from putting you to sleep.
- Proceed to the teleporter at 27,3. This takes you to the room with the final boss at 21,26.
- Make sure to say "no" (いいえ) when the final boss invites you to turn evil.
- Make sure to use the "short blade" as soon as you can, then defeat the final boss (slowly).
Maps I used to learn the route: https://izuito.net/game/fc-deep-dungeon/chart.htm
Played on an AV Famicom using an FDS RAM adapter and FDSStick, and captured with a RetroTink 5X-Pro. Final time determined by counting frames in Avidemux.
