Just need to get those Valmanway +1s...
The nice thing about this route is that there's no chance of Gaibons messing you up.
Improvements would be using candles to jumpkick up to platforms instead of single jumps back and forth and being more aggressive during the Beelzebub fight. You can jump toward him before taking out all of the bees, but I haven't spent much time trying it to see how risky you can get.

First chapter of our multiplayer submission for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. The times for multiplayer are all pretty interesting, and surprisingly Simon is the best complimentary character. We make use of a Gergoth desync glitch here to get a great time, although the way it works is very weird.
Basically, I attack in such a way that he doesnt do the jump-back attack on PJs side, so hes taking damage while still up above for me. From there, I have to have my camera pan out so I can see him die even though hes invisible. This was actually the first time we got the desync glitch to work, we had some others where I didnt pan the camera and they all came in 2 seconds slower. Hope you enjoy!")

Felt like a good run since I had 100% gf uptime, but my rotation was all over the place. Mostly kept gf due to mech and cage luck. Oh well, still need to work on not spamming piledriver.")
