Personally, I like to do a “Palpatine” run where you do a new game plus after getting the chaos ring and constantly use the lightning doll soul on everything.
That is a lot of fun.

HE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE KEPT ALIVE
Unlimited POWAH!
SAAAAME. Any clear file with the chaos ring is the funnest thing in the game
58:00 Mina: "Soma! What's going on, what did you do!?"
Soma: "I CAN TASTE COLOR NOW!!"
It's so weird to see Aria glitchless
glitchless and all bosses is the best thing ever
I've been waiting for a glitchless run at gdq for a long while, I'm glad it's finally here
"Punch Dancing" is what kids at hardcore shows in the early '00s did.
*did*?
UPDATE: We still do
VB man your commentary skills have skyrocketed since the last time I watched you on GDQ. I'm so proud of you man. Keep it going! Such a fun run to watch !
"And we're gonna talk to Mina, cause she's waifu material."
Show me the lie!
The knight that lifts the sword before the fight wuth Graham is a tiny foreshadow of the fact that Soma has Dracula's soul
Why?
Like, can you kindly explain to me please? I love AoS but I didn't know why the knight was there in the first place.
@@xertifiedthicc Maybe it's just there to protect Dracula. But since Soma is Dracula's successor, it lifts its sword for him. (it's probably just there for foreshadowing)
@@thisisaloli4622 What about Julius Belmont during Julius Mode in the game? Why does the same knight let him in to fight Graham? I know this question might sound stupid since Julius Mode is just extra game content that likely isn't even canon, but still.
@@Starry_Wave I mean, Julius is a Belmont, and since Chaos is the architect of Castlevania, it's likely that only Dracula, and a Belmont can cross that final door without breaking in.
Atleast that's how I interpreted it.
The game boy advance had some gems! Very hard to find the original 😩
Aria has been nominated by many many reviewers as the best GBA game, it's a master piece. Many Castlevania fans also consider it better than symphony, me included.
Thank god for emulators!
True, but if you have a Wii U, then it's available on the eShop.
@@MrCharly780 Can confirm, played it for a couple hours now and it's better than Circle of the Moon. Can't say for Harmony but it's probably a bit in between.
@@IanZWhite00 Harder? HoD was the easiest on GBA.
I think this is by far the best Castelvania game, and maybe top 5 GBA games in general
Nah bro the best castlevania is order of ecclesia
@@IdkWhatShouldIWriteHere Nah bro best castlevania game is portrait of ruin
@@warpuppythedragon659 nah bro the best Castelvania game Is rondo of blood
Nah bro ,the best castlevania game is symphony of the night
@@passandosobre9694 correct
Awesome run. Always love to see these glitchless Castlevania runs, the warps can be cool but when you're just watching screens flicker for a few minutes before suddenly reaching the end it just isn't quite the same.
Maxim Mode in Harmony of Dissonace is the worst for that. The OOB speedrun is literally shorter than the ending scene.
Great run!
Still my absolutely favorite Castlevania, neck-and-neck with its sequel. Both of them are masterpieces.
Bloodstained keeps up as well
Dawn of Sorrow is a massive letdown compared to Aria, SotN and the other NDS Vanias
@@wallacesousuke1433 I have to say that from NDS games, I like DoS the most and Portrait of Ruin is my least favourite.
Claiomh Solais is Irish, and as such is pronounced according to Irish pronunciation rules, not English--so it's not "claim solays" but "cleave sollush".
Now you can get irrationally irritated when people pronounce it wrong too! You're welcome.
always wondered how the hell it was pronounced, thanks :D !
Double fun fact, it not only means Sword of Light was also the name of Padraig Pearce's controversial irish republican publication, An Claimh Solais, which was anti british occupation propaganda.
@@MARIOMAC82 Ah yes, Padraig. How could we forget him?
He told us not to, after all.
@@Narokkurai It's because Celtic is really annoying with its spelling like that. For some examples: The first syllable in "Celtic" is pronounced like the word "cell", for some examples of names: "Fionn Mac Cumhail" is actually pronounced "Fin mcCool", "Scathach" is prounouced "Ska Hawk" and "Cu Chulainn" is "Ku Hullan".
"Cell-tick" is a particular favorite of mine since I'm slavic and english-speakers keep fucking up the pronunciation of the first "c" in "Cyrillic" but in the exact opposite way to "Celtic", if they just switched the way they pronounce the first "c"s in those two words, they would both be objectively more correct.
This is information that every Fate GO player could stand to learn.
Love this OST. Really keeps you pumped up running through the castle. Can you imagine a 2D Castlevania game without music?
I came to the castlevania block for Smash Ultimate and the fact that Aria of sorrow is now one of my favorite games on the GBA.
Kinda ironic that "Death" is the hardest part of the run.
I am sad that VB is not doing speedruns anymore but I hope he is happy
He hasn’t seemed to quit according to his twitter. Could someone give me context to this comment?
@@theendoftheworldasweknowit3858 > I think Dennis misunderstood. It sounded to me like VB was only retiring from Aria, and would be moving to new games.
how do you "retire" from speedrunning,lmao
@@andrearosario8512 by not speed running a specific game anymore, OR just not speed running entirely
@@andrearosario8512 right? some games for me were kinda ruined because I sunk 7 or 8k hours into them. Like chewing a piece of old gum :v
Since the pinned comment doesn't say it, glitch demo starts at 50:45.
Favorite game of Castle. Honored to have it still in the double pack.
Killing Death that early, when he is a decent pain on normal mode during a normal run? Very impressive, death or no.
The time he didn't die was even more impressive. +joke
The best way to end a video: "And speaking of..." XD
But the speed run was awesome, I totally loved it.
Amazing run and amazing game
20:40 i look at the monster manual for HP, weaknesses and EXP
And the flavor text is entertaining too sometimes.
Love the new format!
My two main takeaways:
1. I did read the monster manual when I was a kid. I was that kind of nerd lol
2. It didn’t even register that the Black Panther soul could and should be used to travel and therefore backtrack faster. I thought it was an anticlimactic reward for getting the soul combination right on the Graham fight.
This is the only game that can compete with symphony of the night for the place of best catlevania game in my opinion.
Sooo u didn't had a DS right?
@@IdkWhatShouldIWriteHere Dawn of sorrow isn't as good if you ask me.
IM SO ADDICTED TO SPEED RUNS lol
omg! Death was so fucking hard on a normal play-through, I can't imagine how hard it is on a speedrun.
This one's a personal favorite, and one of the best gba games. It also has one of the coolest plot twists in the franchise. It's not quite as good as SotN, but damn close.
Again, very epic.
Woah I thought I had to get to floating gardens after double jump
Just got a GBA SP, so you'd better believe I'm getting this game asap
Thank God for emulator saves states.
I just cant play as is. It's too hard for me, at least.
But I loved this game. Glad I got to finish the game with the help of save states.
You mean casually? From what I remember there are a few points where enemies get substantially more difficult (especially bosses) and you're more or less expected to grind for a bit to level up, if you never did that then yeah it was probably a rough time. It's very RPG-like in that way, any problem can be trivialized by just punching enough skeletons beforehand.
The game is just too damn good to blame you.
You should try Order of Ecclesia, :P
45:22 You Have To Bonk ALot!
awesome run
nice glitches
In the chaosless chaos room (58:45), couldn't he try to do the bat-into-wall glitch?
this is a glitchless run
awesome game. ...
Regarding the comment about how just about every Castlevania game has great music, I think one of the few exceptions is Harmony of Dissonance. Couple good tracks (the main theme when you first enter the castle is great like usual) but for the most part both in sound quality and in composition I don't think it really holds up to the high bar of the rest of the series. Also really hated the graphics in that one with all its garish colors and bright outlines around everything. Solid gameplay though.
You can SEE it though on a GBA, so that's a plus over CotM
Eh, the composition of the songs is good, it's just the way they did them is just too high pitched. Listening to the orchestral soundtrack done by fans reveals that.
I respectfully disagree, I liked the soundtrack so much that I recorded it from the sound test using an emulator, still have the folder here.
Chapel of Dissonance is the best the Castlevania song though, so that redeems the entire soundtrack.
I mean CotM can be seen on an SP and anything else, so.
The only Thing that bothers me is that he actually pronounces emojis. Like the "XD"
This is my second favorite game in the series after Symphony of the Night. I remember neglecting to play this after Circle of the Moon. I didn't like that game very much, so I thought Aria would be just like it, kind of like the Pokemon Gold to Moon's Pokemon Silver. I'm so glad I eventually stopped to play it. It's excellently designed, combat is so much smoother than Moon's, and I personally like the music in Aria more.
I wonder if taking a detour to get the silver gun at the arena would be beneficial for the Julius fight.
It's easier, but longer to do so. The gun is only really used to cheese it.
Well, the silver gun does light damage (i'd imagine) and julius is definitely light element, so...:V
Silver? Holy damage? Ranged? Nty
13:20 pun intended?
wena compaaaaaaaaa
When I was watching this run I miss heard giant bat as being originally called Bad Company which didn't made sense to me but made me realize that this game has a handful of JoJo references
Claim solayus side quest
Why was this streamed at 30FPS? Or am I misremembering the game being at 60FPS?
The game is only 30 the GBA can't go to 60

Cool game, but that final boss was lame. A skeleton snake...... really?
the entire room is the boss, the snakes are only part of it
It's supposed to be a representation of the darkness growing inside the main character, it's kind of hard to depict! If you die against it you get an ending where the main character becomes evil and takes the olace of dracula. So I think it's actually a pretty cool final boss
I realy dislike watching someone go for RNG manipulation and failing like six times..... My only complaint with an otherwise cool run.
I tried to look at the stats when he equipped claimh solais, it's impossible to see how much i can't pause on it.
Yeah, it's so fast the vid didn't get a single frame of it. You can see the before and after if you advance frame-by-frame, though.
Julius hits so hard, normal or hard mode, and just remember. He was holding back the entire time.
He's a Belmont after all
@@Marowak31 The strongest Belmont to be exact :D
And Soma is Dracula so according to Pokemon logic that's super effective
We'll he didn't died so im relieved
And man fought Drac in 1999, Aria takes place in 2035 and Julius is STILL an absolute unit
Save the game? AGAIN?!
13:20 "this current sword isn't going to cut it"
Icwatudidther
Harmony of Dissonance had an objectively bad soundtrack but this one is nice again.
Is Kaladbolg the only dark weapon?
Me: Cries in sickle
It's really heavy and not like final sword it can't jump cancel hit so it's suck in speedrun
Even the speed runners through the Death Fight was annoying. Cause random damaging flying projectiles is the worst. That fight is a mess and such a test of patience. Kudos to them speed running this on hard mode no less.
Impressive! I've got a question, what is this mysterylight in this room??? 23:33
It's been two years but that's the sky fish, a notorious monster in the game as it's one of the hardest souls to get, as it's so fast that you need the ability to stop time to even hit it, which needs you to fight the optional boss fight to even get the soul for, which of course is RNG, and even with that stopped time, the Sky Fish moves faster than most monsters, and you also have to stop time at the same time it whooshes past the screen to hit, as if you preempt the time stop, it won't appear, and even with that, you need RNG to go in your favor to get the soul.
OMG death need 63 hits 1st phase and 72 2nd phase and he can be killed so easily OMG that guy is insane
Death and Julius are the two hardest fights in the game. Chaos can be difficult, but there's a save room just to the right, and you can just use all of the healing items you want.
Isn't manipulation a glitch?
About that Death fight, its possible to slide towards his dash during the second phase
Really, one can dash unscathed, it's just like my japanese animes
45:20
Best part of the run :D
"That was really clean"
**proceeds to bonk himself into next week**
Oh man I used to play this game so much! Great to see it run!
I wish this was on the Switch
HOLY SHIT! I never thought about the "bat company" joke, and I got DoS as soon as it first came out!
I think I’m the only one that cares about them calling the Laevatein the Leviathan
It's amazing to me that SOTN looks better than its successors. Such a masterpiece.
I'd say the DS games look almost if not as good
The second phase of chaos reminds me of the final boss from Lifeforce.
This game is so good
13:38 Want a Castlevania game with bad soundtrack? Check Harmony of dissonance that thing is awful, mostly due to tue sound design
Harmony of Pissonance ? Have it on the dual pack with Aria. Ran through it once just to say "I did it", but contrary to the DS games and AoS I'll probably never re-run it.
Yeah. I think the music itself is occasionally fantastic, but man did they fuck up the sound.
castlevania aria of sorry bonk %
Yeah death don't play in this game. Unlike other Castlevania death poses a real threat.
Death Is a threath in most games, but here he's not
Ever played Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia?
Best game on the gba
It was 2003 and they still translated 'Kali' as 'Curly?'
