@@azureblue99 Well this boss, as almost all the bosses of this game, does not have a lot of backstory so it is hard to tell It is a cool reference tought
Blackmore is certainly the hardest boss fight in this game. I know you’re supposed to foresee the shadow’s actions based on it’s gestures but given your movement space is limited and especially since he’s pretty tanky, it is kinda difficult to do that during the entire fight.
@juanjovaldivieso2972 Except that it does. Equip Nitesco with any weapon-based glyph for the OP giant lightsaber union that consumes less amount of hearts. Use Sapiens Fio as support glyph for additional damage.
21:36 - 22:00 Truly, Wallman is the fiercest of foes Shanoa has to face. If not for her convenient ability to absorb glyphs, she would have been screwed against such a savage opponent.
@@kaledasnail8141 He apparently has 9,999 HP, and if you can do that much to him, he takes out a Super Potion to drink it, then you can hit him to get a free Super Potion. One Super Potion is super not worth all that work, but it's a cool little detail that they put in, even though they probably knew next to nobody'd see it themselves.
@@unknownuser494 Nope. With 9999HP, a Super Potion (effectively doubling his HP to 19998) and the ability to meld into walls, he'd be nearly invincible to anyone who couldn't steal Glyphs, and I'm pretty certain none of the Belmont clan knew how to use those.
Eduardo de Araújo Handle? Ha! Anyone Can. But To WIN This Game Literally, You Need To GAME GENIE. Otherwise, Just Don't Play And Waste 14 Days Of Your Life Completing This Shit!
Such a fun game, all the abilities were at least a bit fun to use down to the normal weapons, the fact that Shanoa could take the form of monsters was so cool and the art was beautiful, all the ds games were great but Ecclesia was the best.
This is one of my favorite Castlevania games. So many offensive options and a more unique level progression layout. Great work! I used to dread the boss battle against the Shadow puppeteer and the Centaur thingie.
The English one is much better. Much more emotional. Although, there are times where Japanese is better. I have mixed feelings with the voice acting of both languages.
"Goliath: the power of his fists is second only to his blasphemies" (Stubs toe) (Entire region gets blasted to the ground, leaving only scorch marks in the shape of letters which read "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT")
I remember fighting dracula for the first time when I was 5 years old, cuz It was the only game I had, and I was so astounded when I saw dracula start walking, I'd never seen anything animated like that. Nostalgia
Honestly, if you played any Castlevania games before this one, you would be astonished by the fact that Dracula ACTUALLY walked, instead of the animation Poor guy only teleports, what are those legs for? Just for standing up? JUST WALK OLD MAN
To be fair, he did have 9,999 HP. He can't be killed by conventional means as he always uses a Super Potion every other turn. Even if you do manage to inflict 9,999 damage, it still won't kill him as he won't take anymore damage until he recovers. Taking his glyph while he's in the walls is the only way to kill him.
It's so weird that of the three Castlevania titles on the NDS (which could even be called a trilogy of some kind) one is a direct sequel to a GBA game, another is a sequel of sorts to Bloodlines, and the third is...pretty much its own thing.
Circle of the Moon set in 1830. Ecclesia is said to be "right after the era of Richter Belmont", so it's the opposite, chronologically Ecclesia is before CotM.
I believe that it was the fill in the “gaps” of the CV timeline before the originally planned SotN 2 (which was supposed to be about the war with Dracula in 1999)
Fact: In the English version of the game, Barlowe was voiced by legendary voice actor Michael McConnohie, who voiced Rinaldo Gandolfi in Lament of Innocence as well as the following: 1) Cross-Country from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. 2) Tracks & Cosmos from The Transformers. 3) Warriv from Diablo II. 4) Uther the Lightbringer, Kel-Thuzad, the Lich King (for WoW: Wrath of the Lich King) and Deathwing (for WoW: Cataclysm) in the Warcraft franchise. 5) FuSoYa and Cagnazzo from the DS version of Final Fantasy IV. 6) Ermac (in MK9) and Kano from Mortal Kombat vs DC, Mortal Kombat 9 & 10. 7) The voice of Master Tatsu from the first two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. 8) Seth from Street Fighter IV and V. 9) Tonpetty and Messina from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. 10) Lance and Ringo from Teknoman.
Shanoa can absorbed boss abilities which this boss is pass through wall. Ofc if your abilities is taken while you are at wall, you will merged with wall.. with all your brain and intestines. Instant death ofc.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd but doesn't he have a sort of Stock for his Maximum Potions? Like 9 ? It would be interesting if you were able to deplete his 9999 x 10 HP just for the LOLd
Most people only say SotN is the best because of nostalgia goggles. It's a good game, but I'd say most other Metroidvanias, with a few exceptions, are just better. SotN started the genre, the other games refined the gameplay and controls.
@@SpookGod Yeah if we put them all under the microscope, without nostalgia, SotN would definetely look a bit dated. Not to mention the story has always been weak and the voice acting is on a legendary level of bad, but because it's SotN it gets a pass.
Story in the entire franchise has always been on the backburner, though SotN does actually reveal Dracula's motive for hating humans. My biggest issue has always been the existence of the Inverted Castle. It's a lazy idea and beyond frustrating to navigate, it isn't tailored to Alucard's movements at all.
I personally liked the inverted castle, even if it is a bit lazy. Not sure if it would've been possible to make a game of that scope without reusing the scenario.
Man, seriously, I take my hat off to you, you are very good, it took me like 20 attempts to beat Dracula, and you dodged all attacks like a master, well done
Albus: I will pay grant me one final wish... Shaona: anything Albus: Give me the last slice! Shaona: B but I've ate it all ready Albus: yee greedy bastard!!
I kind of like the edition of purely magic attacks that drain your magic meter, it keeps you from breezing bosses so you need to also manage your energy on top of that
Arthroverta: Oh hey bug gergoth- IT CAN ONE SHOT YOU?! Giant skeleton: Spooky, scary but his walk is funni Brachyura: You love this boss because of it's death- Maneater: After two other metroidvanias, he's back as a boss Rusalka: Wat-er you waiting for? :) Goliath: A more OP version of the creature Gravedorcus: If a shark became a dune sandworm Albus: SHANOOAAAAAAAAAA - Keith Silverstein Barlowe: how dare you... even forget.. who raised you!

Jiang shi: Why can't you just die?! Dracula: *he walks... run for your life*
Blackmore could be cheesed hard if you had onyx pins and the laser glyph. Dracula was so fuckin difficult for me though, took forever to down that bitch.
Ah I don't think I had those glyphs around the time. Dracula was also a damn struggle though having one of the shield glyphs made avoiding some of his attacks easier. (Forgot the name of it but it was the shield that protected you from above.)
Scutum (not Vol or Melio Scutum). Most of these battles are done with non-ideal glyphs and/or strats, probably for style reasons (he only uses a magic glyph on Blackmore, who is highly resistant to physical). Blackmore is actually pretty easy with dual Ignis + ruby ring as you can kill him fairly quickly with a combination of glyph union and regular spell attacks (and onyx pin helps a lot if you're getting hit).
this is a video game, it has stats. unless you have difficulty hitting a giant boss like blackmore with ignis (why are you playing this game?) then ignis is better. it fires faster, costs less, and does more damage, plus it has a better glyph union (nitesco + weapon is still better use of hearts though)
Despite being a literal pixel doll, Shanoa always somehow awakened something in me and her animation of turning around, lifting her hair and exposing her back was always so enticing and mesmerizing for me! _Man, do I wish I still had a DS._ Would've jumped back to this game in a heartbeat!
Damn, the noise with those fists though. *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* *BLAH!* .....and I thought Alucard was bad!!
@@dragos8839 basically Shanoa had the ability to use Dracula's power against himself (Dominus), that's how she was able to beat him (at the cost of losing her life)
incredible skills there. many boss of this castlevania really give me a hard time, yet its fun to fight them. One of castlevania i remember because of its boss fight. and music of course
WAIT WHAT? dude im stuck on Albus right now, i thought he was like Julius from AoS where he'd be the 2nd to last fight, how am i only halfway through the game?!?
The only gripe I have with OoE is that (imo) Dracula really should have had a demon form in this game. I mean, the whole game is about using Dracula's own dark powers to finally destroy him once and for all. As much as I like Dracula's general design (doesn't he look kinda like Walter Sullivan?) in OoE, I think his second "form" was quite underwhelming.
Oddly enough, I seem to find this game easier than the previous two DS titles. It was the one I played last, and yet the first one I beat. I also beat Barlowe with cubus, the stone block glyph. Let me tell you, it's hilarious seeing him run into the blocks while he's trying to punch me across the room!
Hjori Centifolia i think the reason is that he would be unbeatable in 2nd form without the power of the vampire killer, so shanoa should use the dominus glyph quickly before dracula's 2nd form
5:49 Apparently, a Giant Crab watched MGM's Tom and Jerry shorts. Don't remember where, but pulling a finger from your other hand to launch it with such force is one gag from the toons.
Ok, so in the time between dying and getting resurrected just to be killed again, Dracula decided to go to the Rugal school to learn the Genocide Cutter
Tem certos momentos que da pra ver nitidamente que o ataque do boss acertou, ainda mais se você jogou recentemente e sabe bem como é receber tal ataque... um bom exemplo 28:57 e 29:00...
The bosses that gave me the most trouble my first play through were Death, Wallman, Blackmore, and Dracula. Although I died to about half of them at least once. But to be fair, it was the first Castlevania game I played on the DS.
You know, the first time I beat Dracula in this game (after many attempts) I did so with no damage. I wasn't even intending that, I was just putting the Death Ring on and taking it off when he did a hard to dodge attack because I felt he had a lot of HP, along with just about every boss, more or less. It just so happened when I finally took him down I had taken no hits.
Even now I will forever find it funny that Dracula's main gimmick that sets this fight apart from all the others is that he actually uses his freaking legs.
The bosses in this game are so good. I could never beat the stupid shark in my own run, but I did boss rush on my uncle's profile and could get to Eligor in that. I think I also beat Dracula except for casting dominous on his profile, he's surprisingly easy in this game compared to some of the other bosses.
An easier way to take on Jiang Shi (Chinese vampire secret boss) and Dracula is to equip melio scutum. It takes care of their dangerous projectiles. Still, looking on how they are handled here is rewarding.

At least the village.
Yamanata Albus has it worst. He's a true tragic hero.
+Quartz It is sad. He loved Shanoa. Yet to die and get sidelined by her calling him her brother only
WOW I was about to finish this game, thx for spoliers
Albus never implies he loved her romantically and calls her his sister too.
The sight of Dracula walking is more terrifying than any of his first forms or final boss.
This is the first time i see Dracula walk.
Dracula was pretty cool in OOE. No need to transform into crazy bullshit, I'll fight you hand to hand.
he had a weird scar in POR, now he looks dreadful and evil. he needs to look cool for me to like him, not some walking, body-sucking, dog-coated, ax-kicking, bats-in-his-armpits big chested madman
I know right? Young Dracula is best Dracula, I mean, all of his movesets are fuckin' awesome plus that Lunar Slash with his leg
When he walks and when he do the leg attack remind me Rugal from KOF sagas

WAIT WHAT? dude im stuck on Albus right now, i thought he was like Julius from AoS where he'd be the 2nd to last fight, how am i only halfway through the game?!?
Death's gotta be tired of having the shit kicked out of him at this point.
Huh, I didn't know Dracula could do the Genocide Cutter.
This by far one of my favorite castlevania games, right next to castlevania circle of the moon.
circle o the moon was AMAZING, it was quite hard however, I still need to beat the game as the skeleton and the bear as well
+Sephiroth Destiny Bra circle of the moon is really hard did u beat it.
the soundtrack was good i liked that music.
Donel Daley i beat all four modes, but i want to beat the game using only the skeleton and the bear, but thats gonna be pretty hard
for me is castle vania sotn and castlevania harmony of dissonance
Ecclesia and COTM are good bookends for the handheld entries.

The only gripe I have with OoE is that (imo) Dracula really should have had a demon form in this game.
I mean, the whole game is about using Dracula's own dark powers to finally destroy him once and for all. As much as I like Dracula's general design (doesn't he look kinda like Walter Sullivan?) in OoE, I think his second "form" was quite underwhelming.
Isn't that first boss the thing from Contra?
Yup :) The Arthroverta was in Super C. Makes sense since Konami also created the Contra series.
***** I know ^^
Demon Beast Kimkoh. Plus, Toho Inc Should Raise A Copyright Strike For Stealing Godzilla Roar At Arthroverta's Death!
#WorstCastlevaniaEver
Ash Williams Worst was Castlevania 64.
Some woman told Dracula walk the earth as man do he might like it.
I hope that in a future Shanoa or Soma get into Smash
Me too but too OP lol
Sora: :]

Barlowe's laugh is more frightening in japanese, but his insults to Shanoa in the english dub are te best.
Oddly enough, I seem to find this game easier than the previous two DS titles. It was the one I played last, and yet the first one I beat. I also beat Barlowe with cubus, the stone block glyph. Let me tell you, it's hilarious seeing him run into the blocks while he's trying to punch me across the room!
those dodges during destruction rain + wolf combo = godlike ;)
Probably one of my all time favorite Castlevaina games. Absolute masterpiece
Wait what? You're telling me that Dracula has no second form?
What is this blasphemy!
Yeah but he walks!
When he starts walking he already taken the 2nd form, and that form was no joke.
Hjori Centifolia i think the reason is that he would be unbeatable in 2nd form without the power of the vampire killer, so shanoa should use the dominus glyph quickly before dracula's 2nd form
Yuki Hana This. You can actually avoid his final attack, but he ceaselessly casts it. Killing him first is the only way here.
Dracula: BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM AND DESPAIR!!! *stands up smugly* I CAN WALK B*TCH!!! MUAHAHAHA!
Shanoa: ....
One way to kill Albus faster is to use Dark Glyphs since he is weak to them
Also the same with Barlowe, but with Light Glyphs

Apparently, a Giant Crab watched MGM's Tom and Jerry shorts.
Don't remember where, but pulling a finger from your other hand to launch it with such force is one gag from the toons.
11:25
Dang man..this boss must be inspired by raoh from hokuto no ken...even before death he punched his fist into The top
Ok, so in the time between dying and getting resurrected just to be killed again, Dracula decided to go to the Rugal school to learn the Genocide Cutter
Dissonant Courage is officially my favorite Castlevania boss theme now.
dude, i just come here to remember the bosses and now i'm crying, god what a game 😢
8:55 *STOMP*

Was Dracula trying to flirt with Shanoa?
Laura Tang Yes
It's called pleasantries. Tsk* can't men take a break.
UNBREAKABLE - beats me.
Am I flirting with you rn?
I thought he's supposed to have a thing for blondes.
27:35 the blue orbs can be destroyed with Scutum.
Blackmore is fricking hard to beat without being hit... Great video, great game!
Tem certos momentos que da pra ver nitidamente que o ataque do boss acertou, ainda mais se você jogou recentemente e sabe bem como é receber tal ataque... um bom exemplo 28:57 e 29:00...
Suspicious....but I came to see the girl throw big rocky arms so I'm alright with ut.
barlowe: "what did i tell you about the candy?
them sweeties gonna give you diabetes."
Love the reference
Can we have an animated series of this game?
How often did that castle fall into pieces at the end of a Castlevania game? Who is rebuilding it every time again?
the castle is a chaotic creature Alucard says this to Maria in the sotn, he has several incarnations
THis was actually one of my favorite Castlevania games.
Same
When I saw the first boss, my thought was, “When did this become Contra?”
Real glad to see the player using Lapiste. Always did like that Glyph. :)
The bosses that gave me the most trouble my first play through were Death, Wallman, Blackmore, and Dracula. Although I died to about half of them at least once. But to be fair, it was the first Castlevania game I played on the DS.
When an ad for airwick pops up in the middle of the Dracula fight and completely kills the atmosphere:/
bettter than cosmetic ad lol
You know, the first time I beat Dracula in this game (after many attempts) I did so with no damage. I wasn't even intending that, I was just putting the Death Ring on and taking it off when he did a hard to dodge attack because I felt he had a lot of HP, along with just about every boss, more or less.
It just so happened when I finally took him down I had taken no hits.
Even now I will forever find it funny that Dracula's main gimmick that sets this fight apart from all the others is that he actually uses his freaking legs.
That Skeleton boss' backwards four legged walk is scary AF.
The bosses in this game are so good. I could never beat the stupid shark in my own run, but I did boss rush on my uncle's profile and could get to Eligor in that. I think I also beat Dracula except for casting dominous on his profile, he's surprisingly easy in this game compared to some of the other bosses.
An easier way to take on Jiang Shi (Chinese vampire secret boss) and Dracula is to equip melio scutum. It takes care of their dangerous projectiles. Still, looking on how they are handled here is rewarding.
