Speedrunners Unleash an Unheard-Of Trick in Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance

In a display of skill, speedrunners have uncovered a new glitch route for the classic Game Boy Advance game Castlevania: Harmony Of Dissonance. This method has led to a world record being broken and showcases the endless creativity within the speedrunning community.

The New Glitch Route:

• The discovery was first announced by Jupiterclimb on Twitter, following its revelation this month by a speedrunner known as Halgorithm. It’s described as using advanced techniques such as subpixel manipulation, floor clipping, out-of-bounds zips, and exploiting 0HP scenarios to completely bypass the Skull Knight boss, significantly reducing completion times.

World Record Shatterer:

• Speedrunner LuichoX streamed their learning and execution process in attempts to master this new route with Halgorithm’s help. This broke the previous world record by 17 seconds.
