- A playthrough of the 3rd stage from Castlevania (NES) using only the whip and without taking damage. Aside from Sub-weapons, Invisibility Potions and Rosaries are also avoided.

This stage is where the difficulty starts to ramp up a bit. Aside from introducing Hunchbacks, Skeletons and Ravens, the stage also starts mixing Medusa Heads with other enemies to create tricky enemy formations. Getting through this stage comfortably requires that you know how to properly deal with these enemies.
The Hunchbacks will immediately make a beeline for you once they’ve appeared on screen. The easiest way to get rid of them, is to just stop moving the moment they spawn and then attack them with your whip when they’re almost going to hit you (this is not the tactic I use in the video since it’s slower, but it’s much easier). The Skeletons’ movement simply depends on what direction you’re facing: if you’re facing their direction, they’ll move away from you and if you have your back against them, they’ll come towards you. Simply face the direction that the situation calls for and take them out when you get the chance (or have them jump into a pit, like at 0:43). Finally, you have the Ravens, which move around depending on your position. Your best bet is to just stand still, wait for them to move and then take them out with your whip. Occasionally however, they may fly under the stage where you can’t hit them. When this happens, just wait for them to get in range again and then take them out. This tactic, however, is only required for the first couple of Ravens that you encounter. Pretty much every Raven later on in the level can be taken out the moment they appear on screen if you immediately jump towards them and hit them with your whip. As for the Medusa Heads, they’re not that hard to deal with if you once again take your time and observe their patterns. Also, the side of the screen the Medusa Heads spawn from is always the side that you’re currently facing, so use that to your advantage.
The boss of this stage, the Mummy Men, is one the easiest bosses in the game. All you have do, is walk to the center of the stage (this triggers the fight), go back to the blocks on the left, wait for the mummy on the left to move away from the lower block, get on the lower block once he does and then just start whaling on them with the whip. Just make sure to watch out for the bandages they throw and the Mummy Men themselves (their heads can hit you through the block).
Hope you enjoy!
Wow. That was gorgeous.
