Add goals and dangers
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.
The first interior room of the castle poses a significant challenge, however, as the zombie spawns in this room are [[SOTN/RNG|random]]. As you advance through this room, you must be careful when you choose to attack, as even though you can hear when Alucard kills an enemy, Zombies have a habit of grouping near to one another, and it is very easy to kill multiple of them in a single swing and have no audio cue that you have done so.
As a result, the safest way to have the correct experience value for Death Skip is to kill the very first Warg outside of the castle 4 times. You can do this by leaving the room it spawns in and coming back multiple times. After killing that Warg 4 times, proceed into the next room (the Zombie Hallway) 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.
