[TAS] SNES Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals by Gunty in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/792M
TAS originally published on 2007-02-07
Lufia 2 is an adventure RPG prequel to Lufia 1. In this installment, Maxim and his cohorts set out to take down the evil Sinistrals.
The game sports a large amount of puzzles, yet a shockingly low amount of battles. Using RNG manipulation, this movie illustrates how to avoid many unimportant skirmishes so as to cut down on wasted time. This manipulation is also used to get more favorable item drops throughout the whole run.
Note that the (U) version of this ROM contains some graphical glitches. You can read more about these in the submission text.

The ending is so heartbreaking. Its beautiful but hurts so much.

[@ChronoSquare]

I have a suspicion that witnessing that ending as a child is why I'm extra susceptible to bring overcome by emotion regarding the loss of others.

[@edge3220]

Lufia 1 & 2 are two of my most favorite RPGs ever. They're criminally underrated.

[@voidvampire2020]

@@monyreginacarvalhocarvalho7391 There's no reason to mention Chrono Trigger, it's a game that has the mentions it deserves, Lufia, we can't say the same

(Selan hugs Maxim and Tia leaves) Next scene (The Wedding Ceremony) well that escalated quickly

This game was so fun! I found it like 8 years ago? Good times 👍

[@jimmywoolever798]

This game is so underrated. One of the few games I have beaten multiple times.

[@whiteraven1992]

Yep, no doubt about it. I love watching video playthroughs of this game (TAS or not). Makes me kinda wish the series was well-known enough to get another sequel (beyond that "Curse of the Sinistrals" DS remake) on home-consoles. :P

[@Archer690Channel]

by the time maxim leaves the town, the ACE run already finished the game, crazy how broken the options menu is

[@stevenmcelroy2646]

A classic. This game is amazing

[@4KGamingSMT]

Awesome speed run, gj

[@aerisgainsborough2141]

Best.Super Nintendo Game. Ever... Now beat the egg dragon plus world's hardest puzzle and obtain ALL blue chest items from ancient cave...

[@OverseerMoti]

2:17:55 is this the puzzle?

[@aerisgainsborough2141]

@@OverseerMoti yes, holy crap the computer is good!

[@ChronoSquare]

@@aerisgainsborough2141 one time I found a generic version of that puzzle you could solve online. I showed it to a friend at the time... who proceeded to solve it in like an hour or less. So frustrating to see that in response!

[@B8llie0]

Love this game but i didnt complete it until later because it was hard

Ah yes this game was so glitchy on snes when I played it. Sometimes it would play and sometimes it wouldn't. I got so mad and bashed it while it was in the system and it reset and allowed me to play it, though Tia started at level 42 and after I killed the catfish boss the game crashed and erased all of the saves I had. Ahhhhh the memories.

[@dennisdeuster]

I am currently in the red dragon dungeon (2:19:49). However, there is no Elder appearing on top of the hill. :/ Did I probably miss triggering this event by talking to some people in town? Or is this a bug in worst case?

[@OverseerMoti]

One of the first RPGs that managed to make me cry ugly in the finale, but I still prefer this to the DS remake, which pulled the punch.

[@ericolivencia]

Solves world's most difficult trick...only takes the Lizard Blow. I screamed out loud and then died inside. Effing speedrunners, lol. Couldn't spare 7 more seconds to get more great gear?

When I was young Lufia 2 is in my top 3 most frustrating SNES RPGs. I even had someone solve The World's Most Difficult Puzzle. 1. 7th Saga - very hard difficulty 2. Ogre Battle - permadeath 3. Lufia 2 - annoying puzzles

[@jabbadehood3728]

How use Mega Quake With Tia? 🥲 HOW??? 😶
