Everyone who has at least once attempted to gather a soul from each of the 120 different enemies in Aria of Sorrow, especially during a speedrun, knows the frustration it incurs after a hundredth failed attempt to get the required drop. That just makes this all-souls TAS, played on hard mode and without using glitch warps in a little less than 25 minutes, even more impressive.

Upon completing his warpless run ( https://tasvideos.org/1478M ), Kriole ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Kriole ) decided to take another jab at this category, improving upon his earlier ( https://tasvideos.org/1628M ) effort by 51 seconds.

However, if you would like to see the game beaten to a pulp in a mere quarter of this time, don't miss the any% run ( https://tasvideos.org/1681M ) by klmz ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/klmz ).

--------
Note: While the player doesn't use glitch warps (neither by death nor by getting out-of-bounds using transform souls), he uses the normal warp rooms present in the castle.

Note: Starting from reset was necessary to use hard mode. However, doing so is normally not allowed — refer to the rules ( https://tasvideos.org/MovieRules#MovieMustBeComplete ) to see the reasons.
