ActRaiser is an action/Fantasy game released in November of 1991 by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The Series continued with ActRaiser 2.
Speed Runs
The Speed Demos Archive hosts ActRaiser competition. The current proven World Record for a complete-game AR speedrun is 1 hour, 12 minutes, achieved by Nicholas "Sir VG" Hoppe on April 30th, 2006. VG also holds the Professional Mode record with a time of 29 minutes and 31 seconds, achieved on February 2nd, 2007.
Speed Run Strategies
Simulation Stratagies
- Each area features 2 lairs that when sealed, improve the simulation level (you get a message). This increases how fast the population grows.
Fillmore: Bat (upper right), Dragon
Bloodpool: Bat (upper left), Dragon (near temple)
Kasandora: Both Red Demon lairs
Aitos: Dragon (upper left, lower left)
Marahna: Red Demon, Bat Lairs
Northwall: Doesn't matter (but for the record, it's the dragon and far east skull lairs)
- Wheat does improve the population level if you hit the 1st field right away. Kasandora w/o wheat took 2 increases to hit a population of 14. When I used wheat right away, it hit it in one increase.
- The red demon's lair can be sealed in Bloodpool w/o destroying the trees.
- If Bloodpool is post-Act II and the population hits 300, the civil war will commence. Your population can go over 300 w/o using music if you're away from Bloodpool before you hit the mark.
- Teddy running away from home and Aitos' windmills stopping kills the population growth until they're solved/fixed. (Northwall getting the chills may as well, but this is untested.)
Action Stratagies
- On the normal game, Stardust is the magic of choice. This is found in Bloodpool after sealing the Red Demon lair.
- Some places, such as Northwall Act I, taking damage is considerably faster as you simply run through the enemies, instead of being bounced back.
- On the Japanese version, all ground spikes are INSTANT DEATH. Thus a minor shortcut in Bloodpool Act II (Part 3) can't be taken due to this.
