Any% - Blob Boost tips, how to increase success chances

Castlevania 2 Any% Glitchless Visual Guide

Hello, everyone. I've recently taken an interest in running Any% Glitchless but, due to the route and no in-game map, I was having a difficult time making my way without getting lost. It's a lot easier for me to reference a map than scrub through a 40 minute video while attempting to figure out where I am and what I'm supposed to be doing. With this guide, a player that's completely new to CV2 can jump right in and complete the game. I'm not saying this is the be-all-end-all Any% Glitchless way to run the game, I'm far too new to CV2 to make such a claim. I think it's a good start for someone wanting to dive in and get their bearings. I'll update the guide as I become more familiar with the game and learn new strats. I *think* I've fixed all the typos. Big thanks to twitch.tv/seamlesslink for explaining the route and making sure I've got it marked correctly. He's the brains behind this map, I just clicked a mouse a whole bunch of times.

Fix "Unknown World Record" for main categories in Livesplit

Due to the way that the categories are set up for CV2, it's a bit tricky to get the world record to show up properly in your splits.  Here's a quick guide to get it working:

Open the category you want to set and  select "Edit Splits..."
Select "NES" as the Run Category ("Famicon Disk System" if you are running an FDS category)
Click on the "Additional Info" tab above where your splits are
Select the correct Region and Platform
Select the actual category you are running from the subcategory list 
Click OK
Livesplit should now load the correct world record from speedrun.com
