[TAS] AD&D: Cloudy Mountain "Glitchless" in 0:19.926
4*This saves 1 frame from the TAS I posted 9 months ago.
TAS time: 0:19.926 (power on to last input)
RTA time: 0:18.15 (pressing start at title screen to crown collection)
If you felt the Any% TAS (https://youtu.be/pPewqge2nXs) was less legit because of the corner skip, well this beats the game as intended without using any glitches... and it's only 8.378 seconds slower hahaha!! Clearly, the skip saves less time than originally thought, and we even beat the RTA Any% record in the process.
The overworld map configuration used in the run is one of the very few that lets us get to cloudy mountain only entering two other mountains, although we must also collect an axe to cut through the forests. The sheer rarity of this layout is why we wait so long on the title screen. Beyond that, the enemy layouts in the mountains were extremely favorable, with short running distances and minimal luck manipulation. I continuously count my arrows in some places to neutralize lag created by snake hissing sounds.
