i've been attempting aria low% on and off since early March of 2018, and put around 40h put into it. after failed attempt and failed attempt, i decided that i needed to figure out what was going wrong. 90% of the time, it was the bosses, so i went thru every single boss format (deep blues 1, then 2, then 3) until i beat it twice. fortissimole and king konga were still hella tough tho, along with golden lute itself. but i was on my a-game, and i wasnt willing to back down anymore!!!
the requirement of Low% is that you cant pick any new items up. so say you find spiked ears, heavy glass armor, and glass jaw all on the same floor. you cant pick up that amazing gear cuz it would break the rules of low%! its a brutal mode.
but not as brutal as all chars, i hear...
