The Castlevania Thread

Uh, do you like video games?

Did I miss something in OoE’s story? It seems that once Albus leaves with the Dominus, there are just monsters and bosses roaming the countryside. That isn’t normal is it? Maybe something in the manual, which I don’t have.

Just seems kind of inexplicable that you can be walking along in transylvania, and BAM, eaten by a giant sandfish.

and I don’t think OoE is a good game. The bosses are fun and challenging, and every once in a while I might have to think just a tiny bit about how to approach an enemy, but it’s mostly a boring cakewalk. I’ve pretty much been bored with the whole portable Castlevania series.

I finally played through Super Castlevania 4 a while back, and I have to say, I wish wish wish that games were still like that.

I’m being serious. I do not see what’s good about this game. Maybe I haven’t given it enough time, but the only thing I’ve been doing in the game so far is run across a screen, kill same 3 enemies, fight boss, new area, overcome same obstacle and kill the new same 3 enemies, boss fight, etc. etc. etc.

That’s the only thing the game has offered in like my first hour and a half or so of playing it. But maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t know.

Go away.

I can turn this into the 'dumb shit down to its lowest form of explanation argument too if you want.

Super Mario Bros sucks. All you do is run across the screen, jump over gaps, and stomp the same 3 - 4 enemies, fight bowser, new area, jump the same gaps, stomp the same 3 - 4 enemies etc. etc. etc.

Fun gameplay is fun.

…seriously.

Someone? Please?:wonder:

I honestly don’t remember?

I think I found 2 stray cats and that was it…

They don’t count towards the villager total.

This game is a lot of fun. I’m almost done with it, just backtracking a bit before I face dracula and checking to see what I might have missed.

I can’t think of the name of this one stage/area, but it has a glyph to take while the winds are coming from the right side of the screen, pushing you away so that there is no time to take said glyph. How do I get that? Something tells me it’s something simple, yet it’s going over my head.

There’s no trick to it. Just land on the very end of the platform and have up already pressed to get it. It’s all about timing.

You have to rescue one of them to complete a quest.

… oh. Cool video though. Thanks for the explanation!

SotN question… I forget how to get into the hidden room on the lower left corner of the merman room at the Entrance of the Castle…

Something with wolf and bat… but I forget.

In the giant rock in that room, break open both sides. Go through the tunnel you just created once in wolf form, then back through it in bat form. Same applies to both castles.

kk thanks… I always forget how to do that.

While we’re on that… Any tips on getting the door in the medusa watch tower open easier? I usually just hang out there in poison gas mode until it clicks, but i occassionally over click.

You have to walk halfway through that small hidden cave as a wolf, then come out as a bat, and you have to enter the cave from the right side.

i’ll try both… but the other way sounds more familiar.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong with getting the justice ring? I absorb the cube glyph and then destroy all the blocks again, but no chest appears…ideas?

The classic Records are awesome. Record #3: Wicked Child :rock:

How many are there total?

The justice ring is in that room? Damn, gotta go back there…
