The Castlevania Thread

I went for the $20 credit on Amazon instead.

On chapter 2 now. Oh snap now it’s like Devil May Cry + God of War + Castlevanias + Onimusha. :rofl: So much fun. :cool:

how about + dantes inferno + chaos legion + darksiders?

Bayonetta is the shit…but …where are the combo videos at? I’ve seen a million DMC3 combo videos in different aspects, and still aint seen nor heard of any vids of flashiness. As a lot of people say it beats DMC3 out the water.

Scratch that manage to find a few* : )

But aint too many lingering around.

It is cool but the price is too high. This is a let down after Reach’s and Alan Wake’s BEAUTIFUL Limited Editions. Same price as the Castlevania LE too.

OMG can Microsoft make some Limited Editions y’all.

On youtube?

Oh my god. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: This is fucking brilliant. Everyone should enjoy this.

The fact that Dracula says nothing makes it great.

i played lord of shadow. i think it was ok. nothing worth 60$ imo tho. and it plays like a crappier version of god of war.

It plays nothign like God of War.

hey guys, can any body give me a sub-item/spell/weapon/armor etc. tier for portrait of ruin?

im going throught it right now and im curious what the uber stuff is.

Co-sign Tired of people saying it plays like GoW, GoW is crap.

Jonathan -
Weapon: Vampire Killer (or Holy Claymore if you don’t have VK)
Sub weapon: Depends on the situation, but Cross is overall pretty good due to holy attribute
Chest: Berserker Mail (highest damage output but lowest defense), Platinum Plate (highest defense), or Samurai Plate (increases damage and has good defense)
Helm: Attica Helmet
Feet: Samurai Leggings
Accessory 1: Magus Ring (or whatever if you don’t have it)
Accessory 2: Assassin’s Cape

Charlotte -
Weapon: Tome of Arms X (or Tome of Arms 3 if you don’t have it yet)
Spell: Depends, but I used Chain Lightning a lot due to it hitting multiple targets
Chest: Dalmatica
Helm: Holy Veil
Boots: Succubus Boots
Accessory 1: Sorceress Crest
Accessory 2: Sorceress Crest

That’s pretty much my set up. Pretty much just maximized Jonathan’s attack power and stacked INT on Charlotte.

That is fucking classic.

Yeah, I feel like a dumbass for having to look that up but I guess I didn’t know jack about the Riddle of the Sphinx. When I found the answer, I LOL’ed though.

BTW, I’m finally in the process of a no-equipment run in Symphony. I tried it a year ago but I sorely underestimated just how much that powerful equipment helped you out in the beginning. Anyhoo, I’m giving it another shot and here are the rules I’ve placed upon myself…

  1. Don’t wait for Death to rob you, unequip everything as soon as you get control of Alucard
  2. Spells and familiars are okay (they’re pretty much useless at first but I may disable them once they get too powerful)
  3. Only equip certain items when they are needed (Spike Breaker armor, the Holy Glasses against Richter, and the Gold and Silver Rings for the clock room)
  4. Sub-weapons are also okay

I fought my way to level 6 at the beginning because I knew that I’d be somewhat okay once I was able to kill the Mermen with one punch. Slogra and Gaibon were nothing since I knew to go in with the axe. I’ve managed to make it to the Inverted Castle but it was not easy, especially with only my Defense only being 2 ensuring my death plenty of times since I started playing! Once I got to the bosses that could take a punch (only 1 HP per hit on Olrox), I really had to start spamming Tetra-Spirit and Holy Water/Axes. Currently, I’m at level 27 and in the Anti-Chapel, on my way to fight Medusa.

To be honest, despite being a pain in some areas, it’s really a lot easier than I thought it would be. My prior knowledge of the game is really helping me out, not to mention the obvious rape factor of Tetra-Spirit and Soul Steal. However, as I said a few years ago when I originally mentioned my plans to do a no-equipment run, Heaven help me when I get to Galamoth!

:rofl: Dracula wins. Too good this early in the morning.

Just a heads up: Castlevania HD, its DLC levels, and Symphony of the Night will be half-off on the XBL Marketplace next week.

Xbox Live’s Major Nelson Coming Soon To The Xbox LIVE Marketplace

^I will be buying all of that crap.

And when Lords of Shadow DLC drops in price I shall buy that too.

How long is Reverie?

It depends. I took me 4 hours to beat, but I suck at puzzles. I dont want to spoil anything for anyone but this DLC was very boring, it was like I was in the water temple for Orcarina of Time again in 1998.

Here is to hoping that the next DLC, will be a little more action packed.
