- I improved this! Check out my 40:07 run here: • Demon's Crest (J) 100%...
100% single-segment speedrun of Demon's Crest, SNES NTSC-J version, done on BizHawk 1.9.3 Compatibility Core, non-TAS. This run gets the "good" ending by collecting all HP upgrades and items, and beating the true form of Phalanx. Timing starts when I press START at the title screen and ends when Phalanx 3 receives the final hit.
Quite a solid run. It is possible to improve if considerably, but considering all the RNG in this game (bosses in particular), it would really be difficult. Arma 2 wasn't the best, and getting a super quick kill on Phalanx 3 could save another 30s, but that is so ridiculously inconsistent that I'm not planning to get it in a run. Here, most bosses were really good, and execution was decent overall.
I'm certain a sub-40 is possible, but it would require absolutely sick RNG and execution.
Enjoy the run!

Except Crawler.
Demons crest: one of the most underrated games in the snes library
Great game.
That's because the name. Angry parents wouldn't let their kids playing satanic stuff. While this is absurd, I keep questioning why did they change gargoyle's quest into demons crest? They censored shit tons of games already... in game, all crest give gargoyle forms. I don't get it.
Also the slowdowns are really strong when the screen is full of stuff.
But it is a great game that deserve more entries.
I played this recently via SNES online and I absolutely love it already.
MaximumFlyer same! Great game and fantastic ost! Love that organ!
I'm literally on this video right now because I just played it
@@cheesesteak983 gotta love dem pipe organs
This game needs a Hack! Don't know why anybody has ever made any mods.
Just gotta say I randomly played this game on the snes switch download and loved it. Got the phalanx ending so I'm just checking out videos to see what I missed and I gotta say the way you handled that damn head bash mini game just blew my mind. You're super sick with your mechanics bro.
I don't recognize this game. Looks awesome, like a mix of Ghosts n Goblins, and Castlevania SOTN. Not sure how I missed this gem back in the day.
Firebrand, The MC of this game is from Ghosts and Goblins.
they really need to remake this game in HD and not change anything on it just up the graphics. it would sell allot
yagami187 they need to remake a lot of games
this is true
I would change the basic fire since i dont use them too much
i would add so much more level. The game is great but really short. Many power up are quite useless (ex: torando platform or the glue). The only length of that game come from collectothon part. I'm not saying this isn't fun, but it makes the game really short in fact because the length is only based on it. There arn't enough level: in fact there are only 7 levels, the first and the last are a straight line to the end, the five other are just divided in 2 part sharing a begining.
Also i'm pretty sure they would fuck up that game if a remake would be made. They would fuck up Firebrand design to make it appears more like what it looks like in MvC3. They would add shitty 3d graphism and remove a part of the gothic feeling, exactly how they did when they tried to port Megaman X on PSP.
I'm quite sure this game wouldn't be improved. Lucky for us, this game didn't sold well so nobody at capcom would ever think about it :)
I would add a gargoyle change button like Mega Man
Thanks.
This was one of my favorite game.
40:52 *I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD*
The best game in hisrory
Tyrone Epps yeah. So sad capcom did not care for a sequel. Now firebrand has to spend the rest of his days in marvel vs capcom infinite
what great atmosphere
Awesome game so underrated. But feels incomplete without the Dark Demon
The amazing graphics and design on this reminds me of actraiser 2. Amazing job btw!
Music also reminds me of Super castlevania 4
Eres increíble me enseñaste muchas cosas de este juego que no tenía forma de pasarlo a pesar de que puedo grabar donde se me dé la gana. eres grandioso, muchas gracias otra vez.
Great game and great video!
Im done trying this after watching this really impressed especially last boss omg never new u can get that close to him and do that much dmg Grats on that shit!!!
😙
Looks easy to watch but hard to play. God I love this game, one of my all time favorite childhood game ever. I have it on my SNES classic classic edition
Demon's Crest is so sad, I mean in a good way. I love this game
Hello LeHulk1, you probably saw my other mesaage on your Illusion of Gaia speedrun earlier, well there has been really positive feedback about this game being in the next GDQ as well as IoG, so please consider submitting if you haven't already - if it's possible - as many people would like to see this classic run alongside other new, fresh games. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and once again great run.
Thanks again for your interest! I'm finally considering submitting for the next agdq, but since IoG and Demon's Crest have already been in the last sgdq, does it reduce the chances of getting these two games in agdq? I'm not sure if I should submit them or pick other games instead.
The way you cheese the game is hilarious! 😂
I thought the bonus boss was going to be part of the 100% completion, i had to rewind and replay so much of that fight because i didn't want to invest hours in learning it's pattern
This is one of my favorite game series from when I was a kid. I was never able to get 100% I always got something like 90% a would typically miss a single life point. I played all of the series and the gameboy version was the hardest one where you played as firebrand. This was mostly because of problems with the switching of the powers.
This game looks pretty awesome actually.
o maluco brabo!
I don't think it is the true final boss but still a great plan in this under-rated game. Graphics were so amazing even back then.
¡maestro!
Remember those I.P.s who were almost as good/accesssible as SMB in the 80s? Castlevania, alexkidd, ghost n' goblins, double dragon/kunio kun, kung fu. They just lacked that something that wasn't mario; or maybe they didn't have the budget to get to the masses.
God damn. Those gargoyles rip some major ass when they come alive and then again when they die.
40:02 that was cool. This game is beautiful like any other in snes. And have a epic ost.
Played this for the first time a few days ago on my girlfriends switch and had a blast didnt know there were platformers this advanced when i was young. Wish there was more content and more levels but great game nonetheless.
Hey, i love your speed run. I wonder, do you have one where you defeat the dark demon?
Yes! I also hold the WR of the Boss Rush category, where you defeat every boss (including Dark Demon) with the Ultimate Gargoyle:

Awesome!!! May 24 My BD
39:55 final Boss battle
Wow y haciendo el 100% del juego muy buena run
is there a way to get out and of the slime boss? because I've fallen in him 3vtines snd instant game over
Yes, you just need to jump at regular intervals. Do not jump too frequently or you will sink in.
I don’t know how this game slipped past me. It’s fantastic! However, I didn’t know I was facing the final boss. I only had 1 stone, and hardly any items. Was pretty disappointed because I’m pretty sure I missed out on 3/4 of the game.
Yes, it's a bummer but if you play the game blind you're likely to get to either the "bad" or the "normal" ending, therefore missing out on some (maybe much) on the game's content.
how in the hell did I miss out on this gem
Hi. Amazing job! But I want to know why don't you kill the last boss that you can fight with that password.
You need to reset the game for that, so that's why it is not part of the 100% speedrun.
@@LeHulk1 thanks man!
10:55 Thanos is lookin extra thicc here 👌👌👌
Is there a version of the speed run that includes the true final boss the one that you have to use the password to get
Yes, it's the Boss Rush category. You start the game with the password, beat every boss and finish with Dark Demon. I'll run it soon :)
i strange trick i figured out:
if you die and continue, you get to keep any items you found.
i like to take advantage of that to collect the items underwater at 5:12 and 5:20.
It works indeed but it is a little bit slower. In newer runs, we actually collect the Hand talisman in the first visit of Town (the item at 5:20) without dying, which is tough but doable. It helps speed up the bosses a little ;)
Firebrand seems like prime Kamen Rider material, anyone else?
This franchise really needs 2 comeback. Myb another 2d or imagine with 2days graphics!
I was thinking keep the sprite work but add more detail it would have a unique look due to this
Music at 39:35 is so 🔥🔥
The boss @40:00 is a pain !
Question, at 26:70, how is that Hp gem an exit glitch?
I guess you mean 27:00? It's not a glitch, I just use an Elixir to warp out of the area.
@@LeHulk1 oh! I forgot about that item!
How did Firebrand not make it into any of the smash games?
He's playable in Marvel vs Capcom
@@The_Cooler_Will which one?
I mean i am not into fighting games, but firebrand is the shit.
Thats what I said. There were a lot of awesome characters but instead Fire Emblem got like 15 characters. It's BS
Was a good run for the most part. I can see some mistakes here and there, which makes me feel that a sub 40 time is entirely possible for a human. Good run nonetheless. I'm interested in speedrunning this game int he future. Where do you recommend I start, besides owning the game.
+AllBassPromoter
Sure, sub-40 is possible, but all the luck involved makes it very difficult. I would have saved about 30s if I had got the perfect Phalanx 3 kill, which is also hard and inconsistent, at least for me.
I would recommend having some savestates for the hard tech tricks such as the two Mercury Cancels (after defeating Belth and Crawler), and most boss fights (Ovnunu, Flame Lord, Grewon and Phalanx 3 especially). But you may want to just learn the route and do runs to begin with. Have fun with this great game!
+LeHulk1 just wondering, but would you say that most, if not all, of the RNG in this run is for the bosses and little minigames? I don't know the game nearly as well as you do, but this is what it seems like to me. Item and enemy placement, as well as drops seem to be fixed, but boss battles and those minigames seem to be fairly random. If I'm mistaken, then let me know what else is very RNG-based. I'm interested.
+AllBassPromoter Yeah, I've had some trouble with Flame Lord because his 2nd phase has really irritating patterns, like the quick swooping and the fire droplets, which do a shit ton of damage and usually catch me off guard. As of now, I can only really beat him with one or two potions. I would practice the game, but my laptop is broken, so I can't really play, which sucks.
Almost all the RNG is in bosses. You might lose some seconds in a few other areas (to enemy behaviour, like in the water part of Atlantis), but every single boss can waste sometimes up to 20s if they want to... Especially the second Arma fight and Crawler.
Super game...
where do you find the green fire and the 3rd gargoyle form?? i went to the boss in min 17:08 without that and is haaaard
For the green fire (Buster) you have to beat the eyeball boss (at 6:30).
For the flying Gargoyle form you must beat Arma 2 (at 14:40). There you go!
How do you get into that area at 3:39?
You need to come back to this level later with the Buster weapon (or Legendary Gargoyle), as I do at 28:15.
LeHulk1 Thanks.
So in this category, you don't need to beat Dark Demon?
No you don't. It often confuses people but Dark Demon is not part of the 100% speedrun since you need a manual console reset to enter the code to get to him. Although, there is another category (called Boss Rush) where you start with the code and have to beat every boss, including Dark Demon.
@@LeHulk1Cool; thanks for the clarification and great job!
does the gargoyle dies or farts?? Please be serious
why you Kill grewon with firebrand and not with L. gargoyle ? I try every day to Beat this time but my best are 55:00 i think my way to pass the stages are wrong, anyway tou are the best player that i Ever see playing Demons Crest, Congratulations !!
Thanks for your comment :)
It's faster overall (by a few seconds) to kill Grewon with Firebrand so you get Demon Fire early, and you can defeat Arma 3 much faster with it.
LeHulk1 I Kill arma 3 with Air gargoyle, but i Will try for this way, thanks you are the best man !! :)
Cheers! Good luck :)
Thanos snaps at 40:52
100%?
there's another boss fight.
Dark Demon is not part of the 100% speedrun. It is considered a new game + feature since you can only access it via a password.
LeHulk1 really? so you know which one I am talking about right? he looks really hard to beat. never knew about him until I came across a video.
lame speedrun anyway if you dont kill dark demon
Hunn !?...Somulo 3 hits only ?!?!
Yes, in the Japanese version, Somulo only takes 3 hits (vs. 6 in the US version). That's the major reason why we pick the Japanese version to speedrun this game. The text parts are also a tiny bit shorter.
Ohh !!...of course !!...sorry sir !!
No problem! I don't mind answering questions ;)
Who the hell was supposed to find the eyeball boss!? I accidentally did the any % speedrun boss order cuz I didnt find any others. Beat the game in 15 min and only had 4 powers. I thought I broke the game. Lol
There's a snow level!?
It's quite common to get to the "bad" ending on your first casual playthrough. To get to the better endings you need to find most bosses and most of the levels' alternate paths.
cool, but lack the black demon lair
The 100% route doesn't take into account the Dark Demon because you need to restart the game and enter a password to access him. The Boss Rush category does kill the Dark Demon though.
It's a Mastapeece
i won the game only killing 3 bosses
But that give's you the bad ending
Falta el jefe final
Es normal, no hacemos el jefe final en 100% runs. Se hace solamente en Boss Rush runs.
This really isn't 100% though, since you still have to fight the Dark Demon
Dark Demon is not part of the 100% route because you need to reset the console to access him after finishing everything else. He is part of the Boss Rush category though.
I'm annoyed with the ghosts' sound on this game... It feels like *Hoo* ~~
Still not understanding how to hit somulo twice at a time. On a casual playthrough I can 100 percent this game without death-cheating in about an hour and a half. Headbutt game is easy sped up or cheated on my opinion but I may be wrong. Seems to perfect and off-timing in certain parts but maybe I'm just jealous as someone who considers myself to have mastered this game watching a true master
For Somulo, he only needs 3 hits in the Japanese version, but 6 in the US version, so that might be the reason. Also, this run is far from perfect! It has been significantly improved now: my PB is 38:32 and WR is 38:18. Strategies have become quite crazy :D
@@LeHulk1 That makes sense now I was wondering if that was it. I'm gonna try to get my time down to an hour and go from there my problem is I tend to try to take no damage (except from water) or any deaths which slows me down. Good work though
are u playing at the easy level? its impossible do it in the normal game
Sucks that you did not kill the Dark Demon.
he did not finish the game he did not kill the last and final boss he got 99% done
+jordan4270
That's right; the Dark Demon is not part of the standard 100% speedrun route. Although, it is part of the Boss Rush category (where you kill all bosses with the Ultimate Gargoyle).
Sorry, but this is NOT 100%, still impressive though
