Crissagrim is too cheap. Makes the game boring.
Whoops, I meant Muramasa and the Muramasa Katana.
My 2nd favorite weapon in the game is that item that makes you have infinite items, combined with IRON BALL.
It’s freaking hilarious having Alucard throw out bigass metal balls.
Iron Fist is a sweet weapon also.
Before I found out about Crissagrim and all those other powerful thrown weapons, my main weapons were Star Flail with Chakram
Get all the luck raising items you can find, get a few luck potions, and go kill schmoos in the reverse library for a while.
You’ll like it, trust me 
There are a ton of broken items in that game. One of the ones people tend to gloss over is the Mourneblade. That’s a sweet-ass sword because it’s strong and gives you HP back with each hit. Another is the Yasutsuna, which is actually stronger than Masamune. And, of course, there’s the Vorpal Blade, which is Crissaegrim Lite.
I doubt it. Using that setup is the equivalent of pressing the “win” button. Once you get this combo, getting anything else is just for the sake of having a complete inventory.
Duplicator + Power of Sire + Dynamite
That is the ultimate win. It hits the whole screen for thousands of damage per second.
Oh yeah… I remember getting the duplicator just so i could spam my Items for free. Just took me forever to get enough gold. There really should have been a third castle just so all of these enemy crushing combos wouldnt seem so unfulfilling.
Any knuckle weapon was pretty badass.
Close combat! :p:
Sword of Dawn was pretty cool. It would have been nice if it had done more damage though. Having the undead fight for you is a pretty cool idea
Dual Heaven Swords also becomes a light Crissaegrim knock-off if you use the special.
And then, of course, there’s Richter’s Dagger item crash, which owns everything.
Dual wield holbein daggers were neat.
ability to make your whip longer when starting out with a short one was pretty cool too.
Lol. I see what you did there.
shield rod + dark shield = perma invincible frames + full screen damage.
Alucard summons these wavy skulls that rise out of the background and everything on screen basicly dies. Its actually better for bosses than the crissagram. It kills Draculas last form in 4-5 hits. Criss sure is fun though.
I just power watched alot of CV games on YouTube (Lament and Curse specifically). I just don’t feel like drudging through those two again.
I actually hope Castlevania '99 is the one going next-gen. The DS games are lovely, but I think with some alot of luck, and dedicated development time, a next-gen CV with awesome graphics would rock. Konami should take notes from other Action/Adventure games of late. Get a better cam system going, better gameplay, etc.
Take the Metal Gear Solid approach for the story part.
And make them look like the Kojima art, plz.
^ And do something about the level design @_@
Lament was just awful in that respect. Just a bunch of squares/rectangles basically D:
You ain’t neva lied. Only 3D game I know of that I would get lost in, and with a damn map. It’s like “Oh… did I just? Um… hmmmm turns back around to face bad ass enemy Well shit… I should have turned left.”
Curse was better in that respect. They still didn’t take enough risks. They should have just made it a 3D platformer first and a combat game second. It tried to be Devil May Cry and just ended up making the Devil cry for real. Although Curse’s combat is way better and so is everything else compared to Lament.
I just want Castlevania 99 to be that Castlevania where the whole world is affected. It’s one thing to say the world is in danger and another to actually show people screaming while trying to flee from demons and other bizzare creatures of the night. Plus it needs to be explained how zombie soldiers end up in Aria of Sorrow. My guess is that the world’s governments sent some troops to attack Castlevania but were obviously unsuccessful.
Yea man, what the hell were they thinking when they did the layouts for the levels in the PS2 CV’s? Good grief.
The music was legit, though.
You ain’t lying. The OST is pimp.
I actually liked both those games, too. I wish they made a 2D Castlevania with Lament’s combo system (who needs to level up when you can do big combos?).
