Castlevania (NES) [60FPS]: Stage 1 (Whip Only, No Damage)

A playthrough of the 1st stage from Castlevania (NES) using only the whip and without taking damage. Aside from Sub-weapons, Invisibility Potions and Rosaries are also avoided.
-- More info below --
The stage itself is very easy to get through without taking damage. The only enemies you actually have to kill are the Zombies, because every other enemy can simply be avoided by either jumping over them or outrunning them.
The boss of this stage, the Phantom Bat, is actually pretty tricky with just the whip. He swoops down to attack you at a height that depends on your position. You can often trigger this attack by jumping, in which case you’re able to duck under it. When he swoops down near the ground instead, it’s much harder to dodge, so try to prevent him from doing that one. When he does this attack, you can hit him with your whip right when he’s coming for you and immediately after he’s passed you. You can also attack him when he’s slowly moving around, but always keep your distance when doing so, since he can start attacking in an instant.
Hope you enjoy!

My favorite NES game =D
I thought the boss’ attacks are randomly timed but apparently there is some trickery to it.

It's also one of my favorites, along with the Famicom version of Castlevania III. Also, while the bosses definitely have patterns to them, it's indeed true that there's a degree of randomness to them (especially with Frankenstein's Monster & Death). So even if you memorize their patterns, it's still possible to get screwed over by RNG sometimes (this even applies to a few regular enemies).
