true sadly i will never understand why often Castlevania games are so underrated the combat and the hardcore RPG system from Cv curse of dark are just too beautiful
I have loved this game since it's release, and will always love it. And Michiru Yamane is by far my favourite composer for the series. I can't agree more with you.
i played this game since highschool, i still remember the duplication glitch where there is a hallway where the moon reflects the floor. there is a green flashy thingy there,when you walk to the green flashy thingy at split second, press START(open up your menu) and move using the analog stick to duplicate your items.and thats it(even money works) not sure if i "remember" properly.sometime my mind playing tricks on me(get the reference?). Anyways,that's why im gonna buy a Raspberry Pi 3 so that i could play my fave PS1,PS2,SNES,NES,GB,GBA,and many more. ahhh,how time flies.
It’s called getting a ps2 games I loved like genji Dawn of the Samurai , tekken 4, soul caliber 3, the mortal kombat games, dynasty and samurai warriors need for speed,Star Wars battlefront 2, Spider-Man 2 and now I got tenchu recently another underrated classic and I’m planning on getting other games like maximo1 and 2, onimusha games, chaos legion, shadow of Rome, timesplitters trilogy , way of the samurai 1 and 2 and these castlevania games, like man ps2 so good I might as well play well known games I loved like jak 3, kingdom hearts and sly on the original I got a component wich takes away bluryness and I want hdmi converter so it’s fully hd with no alaising
What a badass. He kills death and still knowing he will revive as long as Dracula is alive he keeps his cool and send a warning message to Dracula basically saying don't mess with the Belmonts. Then escapes, go to the town and fuck some lady to keep the bloodline going.
Although I love the 2D scrollers, I might say, this game was enjoyable actually. It's league's better than the Castlevania 64 games, and the music is super fantastic too. The devs really tried to perfect that Gothic horror atmosphere I'm not going to lie.
I wish they gave 3D another try in the PS3 era (no, Lord of Shadows do not count, I'm talking about IGA-directed games), if they managed to make these games surprisingly good with PS2 hardware and rudimentary tech, imagine how good they would've been later
*The symbolizum of the Bosses with Mathias Cronqvist/Dracula* Undead Parasite= The death of his wife due to and him losing all love and view point of the living Flame Elemental=The heated rage he feels after losing his wife Golem= Mathias's love of alchemy, a science that experiments with the arcane Medusa = the cruelty of life being taken by death in a glance Thunder Elemental= Alchemy again Double Doppelganger= Him creating the darkness within him Frost Elemental= Him become cold and distant Joachim Armster= his own imprisonment from others and why Leon needed to check up on him Succubus = Mathias's lust for eternal life Doppelganger II = Him embracing the darkness Forgotten One = His own humanity twisted into a monstrous form locked and hidden Walter Bernhard= The form and life Mathias now wants Death=Him taking the path of death to spite the living and plague them like the very illness that took his wife
Well Dracula does get another wife and has a son named Alucard. But oh wait she gets killed too which starts Dracula’s war against humanity! Then gets his ass whooped by Leon’s descendants starting with Trevor Belmont and his own son Alucard with Sypha and Grant.
Konami designers be like "How about for the first boss, we have the player stand on a giant brain and destroy huge eyeballs until an undead parasite appears, while a giant worm flies around the battlefield?" "Great! What about the second boss?" "Guy with a huge flaming sword?"
@@cyam1768 going by this run, yes. However each of the maps have a number, implying that the game devs wanted players to follow a specific order for the cutscenes to make sense, also based on the specific enemies they are ordered in the Bestiary. However technically you can play and complete each area in any order you want. Despite this freedom of completing the 5 areas however order you want, the devs still insist on players going to the House of Sacred Remains first since they went as far as putting the map for it as the first pick up when you enter the "stage select" room. Don't worry, i got what you meant because of this run, but this was the order they intended to be followed. 1st: House of Sacred Remains - Undead Parasite 2nd: Anti Souls Mysteries Lab - Big Golem 3rd: Dark Palace of Waterfalls - Joaquim 4th: Garden Forgotten by Time - Medusa 5th: Ghostly Theatre - Succubus Also note that the cinematic cutscenes were only for Joaquim, Medusa, and Succubus, who are the last 3 in the 5 guardian line up, which does makes sense because as you progress throughout the game, Leon becomes stronger with the Whip, and the last 3 become easier to beat if you follow the intended order.
@@hectorvelez1546 No its Leon Belmont, from the 11th century. This Lord of Darkness and Gabriel thing is NOT THE REAL Castlevania :D Even Netflix acknowledges this and gave and Leon Belmont Easter Egg in the Castlevania Series season 2. An alternative/ Paralele Universe is Lords of Shadow/Darkness... Nothing else. The Real Timeline is far more epic.
Easiest way to beat The Forgotten One? 1) Have ice whip equipped 2) use the cross and orange orb, have mobius's brooch equipped makes the grand cross spam infinite perfect for part one with the maggots 3) part 2 spamming grand cross is pretty hard so focus on just the ice whip damage use the black bishop to raise attack plus the other attack raising items 4) part 3 spam Grand Cross and Ice Whip hid behind the boulders Use guard and dodge, 90% works to not get hit by any boulders.. When he does that hyper beam, try and stay behind a good rock but that is very near,you can get some nice damage between a charge of the hyper beam if you are near
Heres How to Unlovk it Go down staurs Go To a Secret Dunogeon And then go Find the Jewel In The final Level And go ack to the dungoin alsonthe jewel is after a A DARK PLATFORMING SECETOIN And then Go Down The Dungoen Of Enternal Torture YES THATS ITS NAME And go Down more starirs and f8ght the boss
I beat this game 7 times in my old ps2, 4 times in normal difficulty, 1 time with Joachim, 1 time with the Pumpkin and 1 time in Crazy dificulty, i really love this Castlevania and i miss so much since i don't have a ps2 no more. What a brillhant gameplay you been made man, so much ability! I wish i could play this marvellous game once more!
Serious shit here. Man oh man... The Death fight on Crazy difficulty was always scary. The first time I fought Death on Crazy and I heard "It's over." as an initial attack, I was like wtf! Am I screwed?! And that stupid summon soul shit that happens in 2 waves and if your far enough he does it endlessly. But not hard to perfect guard or dodge it, once you get it. Great job on this no damage showcase.
For the Undead Parasite, let me tell you from experience, you REALLY want Holy Water as your sub-weapon. That stuff does MASSIVE damage to the Undead Parasite!
Super nice vid!!! this was one of my ps2 favorites, i dont remember that the flame whip deals so much damage to succubus, maybe i never knew xD i really enjoy this game so much. Great vid!
It’s a shame they don’t make castlevania games anymore. I look at god of war and that seems like a natural direction they could have gone- we’re trying to go.
The series DID go in that direction. Lords of Shadow is just like GoW, DmC, Bayonetta. And although I enjoy that style of game, I feel it just become lost in the fray and lost it's identity. Much prefer the metroid/RPG style the franchise became known for (Symphony of the Night through to Order of Ecclesia) before they handed it over to western devs. Even Lament and (moreso) Curse, still had these elements.
sage11x the natural directions for evolution should've been like Dark Souls or Bloodborne with the combat system being more faster, action-ish, probably like Nioh.
Damien John If it does have to stand with all the other gow clones, then at least it can be considered greatest among its peers. Cmon the surprise twist at the end... Top 10 moment in my gaming past for sure
This's a great underrated 3D VANIA that has better Combat than most modern Hack n slash action games Truly love this game only wish it were Longer Well hope you 'l post next CV 64, CV Curse of Darkness & Castlevania Lords of shadow all 3D vanias have great combat May i suggest a great challenge run for Castlevania Lords of shadow 1? Go unupgraded on Paladin mode (Very hard) is great satisfying balanced challenge I will make a full long playthrough under this challenge set in my gaming channel 1 day soon Love Castlevania so hardcore
The combat and monsters were great in Lament & Curse, but I felt they really dropped the ball on the metroid-style progression and level-design that the series was primarily known for. After this we got a couple more solid handheld entries w/ Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia, but then the series just devolved into a DMC/GoW clone (Lords of Shadow) when it was handed to western developers. And now Konami couldn't care less about it. So sad. Bring on Igarashi's Bloodstained though!
Damien John the thing is many fans often forget CLOS series was helm by Kojima despite the more 3rd person hack & slash style gameplay and developed by Mercurysteam. I myself actually enjoyed it even with the reboot storyline (which fans mainly hate it for the sake of old timeline), hardcore fans were too harsh on it. Now the franchise is dead and Konami downfall truly sealed it.
I actually liked lords of shadow. It was a nice re imagination of the belmont-dracula mythos with a good plot and good gameplay. Wouldve liked it more if it had rpg elements but as it was they were pretty solid games
Dianne Renard Yeah, I kinda the same. I think it would be a much better evolution for the series if CLOS was like a mix of Bloodborne + Nioh + DMC4. Basically a faster moves and intricate combos with a lot of rpg elements in a semi open world levels that layered both vertically and horizontally (yep, you definitely should be able to double jump). I think it one the reason that I find Nioh is a great mix of Ninja Gaiden/Onimusha & Souls-like type game. Also, Darksiders 2 kinda played like that but somethings are missing in my opinion.
Croz Raven kojima production was never involved in LoS's development, let alone kojima himself. in an interview it was explained that things went more or less like this: konami commissioned a castlevania game to mercurysteam but later revoked it due to how the prototype looked different, resulting in the project dropping the name castlevania. at a later stage of development, however, while cox was showcasing the game in a meeting, kojima was the one pointing out that the game resembled castlevania too much, and so the rest of konami staff attending at the meeting acknowledged and due to that, the project become part of the castlevania series once again. basically, LoS became a castlevania due to kojima's influence in konami, that's where the fabled collaboration started and ended
Well played, a question though. Have you played the Crazy difficulty on the american version? I'm recalling my time playing through it and for some reason i do not recall having I-Frames on the dodges(I beat Crazy by basically learning how to P-Guard every attack). It might be i just never found the sweet spot or the frames are narrower then Curse of Darkness, but i wonder if different versions might have a few tweaks.
Super late here but yea dodges did indeed have I-frames, they were just a little weird sometimes, then again it's a little weird in curse of darkness as well lol
Wow, blocking those giant explosions and laser from Walter, Death, and the Forgotten One? You truly are a god of no-damage runs... Perfect block looks like it's super overpowered, but I'm sure you put lots and lots of time into learning every attack and every block frame!
*WHY* THE FUCK *SO MANY DISLIKES* ? this game is great ! it has a dark and bit scary aura that fits perfectly for a Castlevania game !! (even more than Curse of Darkness and of course Lords of Shadows)
Ahh fun memories, can't believe it's actually underrated! Thought just about everyone knew it .-. ( same with Curse of Darkness ) edit: good on you for not using the ice whip on The Forgotten One, dude is a major challenge if your not prepared right
para mi fue demasiado corto y muy facilon, que los aspectos visuales estan bien cuidados, pero a mi gusto el super castlevania 4 esta por encima aun del SOTN.

Shadowserg Hard? You mean Crazy difficulty?
Never mind. Saw the difficulty difference with the Golem fight. Wow, great job.
At first I thought the first boss was legion. And to find out Dracula wasn't in this game was a bit of a let down for me
He is in the game, but not as a boss character.
This and Curse of Darkness were criminally underrated.
Also both games contain some of the most beautifull soundtracks from Michiru Yamane.
true
sadly i will never understand why often Castlevania games are so underrated
the combat and the hardcore RPG system from Cv curse of dark
are just too beautiful
Just this one in my opinion, Curse was too straight forward and forging was boring.

okay but why tho?

@Manji Ranger Kiavala I would say that they are boring because then it is boring to walk so much
And xbox 360 too

This and Curse of Darkness are two of the most beautiful Castlevania games ever made.
SOTN ia The most Beautifull
I love Symphony but Rhondo of Blood is by far the most beautiful.
Shadowserg is working hard on these " no damage " gameplays. Much respect for you man.
Thanks, man.
Add me to the list. I respect Shadowserg. Incredible skill sir.
4:41 :v damage
@@Erkarman look closely at the hp bar, yup. No damage.
@@Erkarman How much damage?
This game has some of the most beautiful music i have heard in a video game.
So does Symphony of the Night.
So does Curse of Darkness and the GBA games.
And some of the weakest bosses
What a badass. He kills death and still knowing he will revive as long as Dracula is alive he keeps his cool and send a warning message to Dracula basically saying don't mess with the Belmonts. Then escapes, go to the town and fuck some lady to keep the bloodline going.
You know the first boss of this game actually reminds me of Chaos, the last boss in aria of Sorrow
But done wrong this time
Forgotten one looks like beezebulb of SotN
Oh man, I enjoyed this game so much as Curse Of Darkness, great times
I'm praying for these 2 to be in the PlayStation Store.
will jace Lament of innocence was at one point not sure if it's still there lol
took me 15+ years to realize Leon's voice was done by the person that does Kakashi in Naruto...

Love these boss videos. Keep up the great work!
So, is this chronologically the first game in the Castlevania series?
Yes it is, Leon is the first Belmont

"How about for the first boss, we have the player stand on a giant brain and destroy huge eyeballs until an undead parasite appears, while a giant worm flies around the battlefield?"
"Great! What about the second boss?"

When he does that hyper beam, try and stay behind a good rock but that is very near,you can get some nice damage between a charge of the hyper beam if you are near
So this is what it feels playing Souls Game with infinite stamina
Then there's a game called "Ghost 'n goblins" a platformer as hard as Dark souls
@@BrickmanZero People really forget about that classic
Forgotten One seems legit very hard, and also pretty terrifying. Glad I played just a demo of this game as a kid.

The words carved in the Golem room spelled meth. Perhaps early alchemist already discovered that evil formula.

Yea she was weak to fire
Nice work Dude

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
One of the few games I have beat religiously
I was just thinking about this game and the Forgotten One and all his damn maggots
Just show them the Wrath of ICE Vampire killer
It’s a shame they don’t make castlevania games anymore. I look at god of war and that seems like a natural direction they could have gone- we’re trying to go.
A shame indeed.>_>
What do you mean? The Lords of Shadow series are totally like GoW.
The series DID go in that direction. Lords of Shadow is just like GoW, DmC, Bayonetta. And although I enjoy that style of game, I feel it just become lost in the fray and lost it's identity.

And before you know she starts tossing out some 5&6s

Love Castlevania so hardcore
Thanks for this excellent video with no damage & the voices in japanese ;).
You are welcome. :)
The Music of the Elemental Fights are awesome.
Love how the first boss has you attacking giant pustules on the floor while a dragon flies out of holes in the walls.
yeah its like chaos from aria of sorrow. the entity that revives dracula each time he dies.
Oh hell yeah, this game really deserves more love.
EXACTLY! This is what started the castlevania games (well, not actually, but it’s the first game in the timeline)

My favorite 3D Castlevania.Respect to the first Belmont to wield the Vampire Killer Whip. Gave DMC a run fir its money.😎👍🏿
7:07 ''Emeth'' meaning ''life'' in abrahamic, usually associated with golems in judaism
I was thinking why's meth written there
Emre Can Actually, the word ‘Emeth’ means ‘truth.’ Remove the first letter, and you get the word ‘meth,’ meaning ‘death.’
It also means Methamphetamine
Its enochian not abrahamic
Amazing work! I always accidentally run into the Undead Parasite because my depth perception is off.
They need to re-make this game
It was soo good!
I like how they gave Succubus a "Poison Ivy" touch
Death is rockin spawn's cape.
I was surprised and thrilled to see they made reference to this game and Curse of Darkness in the Netflix series.
Forgotten One is the hardest boss!
I can beat him but with last 3rd part of the big rocks blocking me from the flame projectiles but without the rocks I'd tried and I get axed 😂
Sure don't look like it.
This was my introduction to Castlevania bad ass gameplay an even better soundtrack
Such a great game. When I got to Death however, he beat me without taking damage lol.
i really love this room-vania . Beautiful OST
The true beginning of Konami's vampire busting business.
I'm praying for this and Curse of Darkness to be in the PlayStation Store.

forgotten one was really impressive, bravo!!!!!!
Huh, the first boss reminds me of the final boss of aria of sorrow with it's differences
That Medusa head coming to life from a statue was quite unnerving.
Wow, blocking those giant explosions and laser from Walter, Death, and the Forgotten One? You truly are a god of no-damage runs... Perfect block looks like it's super overpowered, but I'm sure you put lots and lots of time into learning every attack and every block frame!
Vector Shingetsu if your timing is right, perfect block IS broken lol
It's crazy how you fight forgotten one here and in Castlevania Lords Of Shadows
I'm 41 years old, and I believe this Medusa head with snakes would still give me nightmares! I want to go buy a PS2 now!!😎👍🏿
Badass looking teleport Death has.
this was my first ps2 game and i love it
Tavo Smith *mine too* ,,,,,!!!!!
Medusa's voice is similar to The Dwarf in the Flask of the FMA
That battle with medusa and that health bar gave me anxiety
Love the intro!
0:16
Ok PP Boss Fight
I usually like to flex on Medusa by perfect guarding her snake head slaps. You gotta try that next time.
*WHY* THE FUCK *SO MANY DISLIKES* ? this game is great ! it has a dark and bit scary aura that fits perfectly for a Castlevania game !! (even more than Curse of Darkness and of course Lords of Shadows)
I hope later on in the animated series, there would be a flashback Leon storyline. That would be interesting.
Nice work. :)
Best castlevania in 3D ever!
Getting Devil May Cry vibes here.
Why did you show Medusa's cutscenes, but not Joachim or the Succubus'?
Ahh fun memories, can't believe it's actually underrated! Thought just about everyone knew it .-. ( same with Curse of Darkness ) edit: good on you for not using the ice whip on The Forgotten One, dude is a major challenge if your not prepared right
24:30. The slugs of Metal Slug
I still play this game on a regular rotation.
fun fact: death in this game is only final boss but in other game is semi final boss
8:46 no sabía que podías hacer perfect guard a ese ataque 🤔
Cuantos recuerdos
I don't remember the two mid boss doppelganger at 16:30 the last time I remember It was only one, and after you beat him he'll jump to the water.
zeto hojoin shadowswerg prob did the fight in crazy mode
Was your health low so you can use the one equipment piece that boosts attack with lower health?
Yeah. It's Megingjord.
The forgotten one was always my favorite fight.
this game really needs remake for PS5
for PC you mean :D screw the consoles
This game was so good, and graphics
Forgotten One kinda reminds Kitava from Path of Exile :'D
I miss this game
excellent game with great music
Best game ever
Never fails to make me cry xD
Esse modo dos Bosses vale pra porcentagem de 100%? Eu praticamente vasculhei cada canto do castelo (Até os escondidos) e parei em 99,5%
Knuckles the Belmont
Was this from PC or PS4 emulator, it looks beautiful!!!
Fun fact: the first boss fight is almost similar to the true final boss of Aria of Sorrow.
I love this game ❤️
Looks pretty good on widescreen
Después del SotN, el Lament of Inocense es el mejor de todos los Castlevania, que juegazo la verdad
Despues a mi parecer es el curse of darkness
para mi fue demasiado corto y muy facilon, que los aspectos visuales estan bien cuidados, pero a mi gusto el super castlevania 4 esta por encima aun del SOTN.
@@moisessilva247 a que porcentaje lo terminaste
@@matias-iw8wj tiene años que lo jugue pero siempre her terminado los castlevanias a tope, con secretos y personajes extra, hasta ahora solo me faltan los de nintendo ds.
@@moisessilva247 ahh esta bien eres de los pocos segun yo que completa los castlevania a tope
