[TAS] NES Dragon Warrior III "item glitch" by vaxherd in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see https://tasvideos.org/3093M
TAS originally published on 2016-03-06

The last in the original Dragon Warrior storyline, this one follows "the Hero", who is tasked with saving the world from the archfiend Baramos. After cobbling together a group of people to take with him, the Hero must travel the world to find a way to Baramos's lair.

Or at least, that was what was supposed to happen. Thanks to a glitch involving a party of dead characters, vaxherd ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/v... ) manages to manipulate his inventory and warp list to not only have extremely rare pieces of equipment from nothing, but also warps directly to where Baramos is located in a fraction of the time it would take normally.

In addition to this, vaxherd also uses a glitch involving resets and character names to manipulate the RNG and encounter formula at certain points, thereby beating the previous run ( https://tasvideos.org/1481M ) by over seven minutes.
