Alcahest (アルカエスト) is an Action JRPG developed by HAL Laboratory that was released only in Japan. The story is standard fantasy fare where our hero Alen goes on a journey to stop the evil emperor Babilom and the demon god Alcahest from conquering the world. As with many other action RPGs made at the time, it has standard experience point and companion systems and is played from a top-down perspective. Certain characters can join your party as you progress, and you can collect items to help boost your stats.

In this run, jafem ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/jafem ) saves the world from Alcahest in record time, utilizing various broken attack combinations to quickly beat enemies and a "zombie" glitch to skip a number of dialogue boxes.
