TAS originally published on 2013-05-29
Solstice: The Quest for the Staff of Demnos (1990) follows a wizard called Shadax on his quest to retrieve the eponymous staff in order to save a princess from being unjustly incarcerated. The game is essentially a huge isometric labyrinth filled with devious traps and oddball creatures to ensure especially frustrating peril in the absence of any kind of map to help the player. (Well, at least it was like that before the Internet era, but make no mistake: the game isn't by any means easy nowadays, either.) One of the most memorable aspects of the game is its jazzy musical theme filled with deep bass notes uncommon for the NES.
This is a 100% completion run of Solstice. Getting 100% means visiting every room and picking up all of the items. We also have an any% Solstice run ( tasvideos.org/... ).

That last scroll piece I could never find as a kid, I found the other 5 but this game was so brutally tough that I could never finish it.
By the way, this is TAS is Godlike! 💪🏾

In your description, you said there "isn't any kind of map" but, in fact, there is one when you pause and switch potions.

This was one of a few games I remember playing but could never find. Wasn't sure if my memory was fading or not. But seeing this, it brings back both fond as well as insane memories. Never even got close to beating it. But I'm glad I wasn't just imagining things.

Always loved this, it's like Q-Bert for Master-level gamers. Too bad they couldn't include a special alternate ending for completing 100%.
