Yes! Glad to see other Infernax players appreciate all the reference. I just started playing it last week and immediately knew what to do when I got to the cliff! Wasn't expecting that tho! I didn't fall for the green wall chicken tho! Lol
I fell for both the chicken and tornado in the game. Funny Easter eggs, imo. Wonder what else is in store as I am still going through the game. It is also VERY HARD! Working on my classic run as we speak...😞
Actually I think this is not required to beat the game. This is just needed to get to the 4th mansion quickly. But you can make it there on foot. The game is actually very linear for the most part. This is actually the end of the map. But you do have to backtrack. And I think when you have to go to the 4th mansion. You are closer to this area then the 4th mansion itself. But you can travel there without this method. Although it is probably required to get the best ending
When I was a kid I had to send a letter to Nintendo Power for the solution. It wasn't long before I received a response and was finally able to slay this particular dragon.
I never beat the game this way i always did a jump where the last town in the cemetary where to drop garlic, id jump and use the holywater to make the jump. Hehe i found this out years later i played this in the 90s found yhis out maybe in 2010
Little did anyone know it but Simon was actually from texas, so when this happened he said "BY GUM ITS A GEN-U-WINE BONEE-FIDE TOOORRRRNADEE! YEEEEEE HAW!" Thank you, thank you, I'm here until I get blown away by the replies to this absurdly bad joke.
It all makes sense now! The dark setting, the evil monsters, the vampires... if he's somewhere in tornado alley and he's a Texan then the game is probably set in Oklahoma, not Transylvania.
@@jhinzho4852 perhaps it's set in 'the dark and bloody ground' of Kansasvania. The word 'kansas' means 'dark and bloody ground' in a native language, if I remember correctly.
... hindsight, this part of the game just added more mystique and notoriety to it, even thirty years later we're here for the nostalgia. 1 in maybe 50 kids knew how to do this, or had parents "rich enough" to buy a strategy guide 😂. I remember calling my cousins on a landline to ask how to beat this part LOL
I found this when I was 6 years old playing this game on Sunday morning. It was one of the greatest moments of my 6 year old life next to Saturday morning cartoons!
I actually think this is not needed to complete the game. You use this ability to get to the 4th mansion. Despite the seemly open world. This is a very linear open world. There is no branching paths to my understanding. And you can simply walk to the 4th mansion. However, I believe you do skip some of the mansion and come back to them later. Hence you backtrack. This area is the end of the map on the left side. And the end of the map on the right side is Dracula castle. This is meant to be a hidden fast travel way to get to mansion 4 without having to hike all the way there after back tracking. I think the problem is that people saw the guide in Nintendo Power and thought to themselves how is anyone supposed to know this on there own. When it actually not necessary. However, you do probably need to know that to get the best ending. And yes, there are plenty of cryptic things that is required.
If Simon knew that kneeling at the cliff for 10 seconds would summon a deadly tornado...he might not have done it.
A fellow Infernax player i see.

Infernax II: Alcedor's Quest
Before youtube was invented, i wouldve smashed the game console here
Get the power. Nintendo Power.
why
@@1SmokingLizardHOLY HELL ITS TROGDOR!!!
@@andrada9506obviously a new gen kid or if not, oh my lord
You knew you was a real "G" if you just knew what to do back in the day.
I found this out by luck and trial and error. The feeling when the tornado came was magical.
I was really drunk and knelt down by this pond. and then fell into it. thank god it was a staircase and a bunch of monsters
You 2 are retro nerd legends😎🏆
Same. I was stuck for like a month. I freaked when that tornado came. It was by complete accident.
thank you for uploading because whenever i explain this specific BS part of castlevania 2 i reference this clip
"Now this is what you call, a Nintendo Power game."
Most of the time you had to rely on other kids in the school for tips. And half of the time the tips you got where made up.
Infernax :)
Wait for a second....
That place...
Infernax!!
Jeje

Didn't I see that warp tornado in Super Mario Bros 3?

this game was truly the first metroidvania
what about metroid 1?
@@trashmann480 That was just metroid, not metroidvania.

John Morris in Bloodlines was from Texas
@@DeBean970 thats why you don't fuck with texas, they're belmonts, man!

Infernax Moment
I think...unless you talk to the townsfolk, you will know about the red ord.

First time I did that, it scared the crap out of me. But it was a glorious moment.
Everybody that's come here from Infernax, raise your hand.
If you dont have the guide book, you dont even know what to do here
that sync
This one had the best music, Part 3 had mediocre music
Are you serious? Part 3, especially the Japanese version that utilizes extra sound channels, is one of the greatest soundtracks in 8 bit history
Nah Castlevania 2 and 3 both have good music
You’re truly worse than that (guy) with this hot take
The people would tell us all the secrets:0
What’s in that door then?
