Start describing the Blindfolded Experience Route
== Experience ==
 
The only section of the blindfolded route where you have to care about Alucard's experience is in the very beginning after the Prologue, but before Death Skip. Just as in the normal Any% run, your goal will be to arrive at the last Warg before Death's room while Alucard's XP value is between 88 and 99.
 
Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to predict or control the random Zombie spawns, so it is likely that if you attempt to kill the Wargs or Zombies in the Zombie-spawning portion of the route, you will accidentally kill an extra Zombie or two without realizing it. As a result, the safest way to have the correct experience value is to kill the first Warg you see 4 times. You can do this by leaving the room it spawns in and coming back multiple times. After killing that Warg, proceed into the next room and kill the first 2 Wargs normally. After that, you will need to avoid using your sword for the rest of the room. Instead, try jumping over the 3rd Warg if you can, and whether you succeed or fail, proceed to hold RIGHT and wait.
 
By holding RIGHT and being patient, the horde of Zombies will eventually push you slowly to the right until you leave the room. You will be able to tell when you have reached the next room once you no longer hear thunder crashes, which the previous room had. Once you stop hearing thunder, proceed to hold RIGHT for a few more seconds until Alucard has walked off the stairs and is next to the breakable boulder. Proceed to break this boulder, then head right for a few more seconds. Break the next boulder, then perform the following: Hop, Pivot Left, Dash twice, Jump Right. The reason you have Alucard hop is to permit Alucard to pivot again, as attacking leaves him in a state where he is unable to turn around normally. Once you have jumped right, proceed to Shield Dash until Damage Check, then turn around and kill the Warg, and turn back around again. Shield Dash until Damage Check again, then turn around and kill the Warg, and turn back around again.
 
By this point, you should have killed exactly ...
