Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Deathless (Richter, Normal)

Richter Mode in Portrait of Ruin is much better than Richter Mode in Symphony of the Night, purely because Richter runs by default instead of having to double-tap to stop him from walking. In fact, Richter zooms around at the speed of sound throughout the entire game, making him pretty fun to play. His whip damage is pretty underwhelming, but it's compensated by the fact that he swings very quickly.
Also, as you'll clearly see in the footage, I did use save states here purely to work around the double Frankenstein room, which on Richter Mode is borderline unplayable and not practical to work into a 100-minute deathless run. I also never quite figured out how to fight the Richter doppelganger as Richter, but fortunately here it turned into Maria.
Done on emulator, DeSmuME.

This is a good run, the music, the sound effects, the speed and pacing. Richter mode in this game is fun to watch. Nicely done

[@shovatar1635]

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Love the Final Boss.
Death and Dracula combined is badass

[@shovatar1635]

Couldn't agree more, definitely one of the best final bosses in the series.

[@errmack3004]

Portrait of Ruins has one of the best soundtracks in the Castlevania lineup.

[@shovatar1635]

It's hit or miss for me but that intro track at the start of the castle is insanely good

[@SurelyYewJest]

Who knew Richter has a Dragon Punch?

[@Raylightsen]

Richter is million times better than in SOTN.

[@shovatar1635]

Agree, no OP Item Crashes to delete bosses, no double-tap to dash, much smoother, faster, and more overall

[@earlfloyd4076]

yeah, Richter in Sotn is stupid, his side dash is a pain in the ass, and the R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons are useless, they shouldve put the special moves in those buttons.
altho in the mobile ver. he is very easy to use since his special moves are in buttons on the screen

[@LoneWolfes]

​@earlfloyd4076 what I hate is why does his whip hit in only one direction. Why didn't they make it like Castlevania 4 where the whip can go in all direction. Same as Mega Man. You can't shoot up or sideways like Metroid. It's stupid.

[@RastormYT]

Its called balance

[@rotcehbenitez2154]

I feel like he's quicker in this version instead of on sotn

You are truly a worthy, Belmont!

Finally a great fangame based on Castlevania SOTN!

@@josiahbicelis304 So you mean this is an official game and not a fangame? In this case, where is the official website for this game? What company was it created by? Konami? Please, I need more information about this game because I searched on google and didn't see anything!

[@elmoi1247]

Is castlevania SOTN based on this game? My very first castlevania was SOTN... so sorry if it is an obvious question

[@shovatar1635]

No, Symphony of the Night was released in 1997 and Portrait of Ruin was 2006. Both good games!

[@M1K0G3]

This game uses the SotN formula because SotN is the pioneer or perfecter of the metroidvania genre. With the success of SotN, Konami decided to abandon the classic vania games and move to the metroidvania we know today.

[@Cross_Slash]

I know why you didn't do a full playthrough of Curse with Trevor, you already played the whole game with Hector. But I was still hoping, quality play throughs of Trevor mode are hard to find on TH-cam

[@shovatar1635]

Under normal circumstances I would have, but Curse of Darkness is a very long game (by Castlevania standards) and also one that I didn't enjoy playing very much. The Tower + Boss fights were really the only parts that I thought were exciting. My apologies.

[@Cross_Slash]

@@shovatar1635 No apology necessary, I still enjoyed what footage you did upload with Trevor and I still look forward to more of your CV videos. Keep on rockin'

[@geeza45]

Doesn't Belmont have that forward dash spinning sword move how come u don't use it?

[@shovatar1635]

I'm bad at doing the input and it's not as good as it is in SotN Richter Mode so it doesn't feel as mandatory

I believe you have to beat the game once to unlock him? I don't really remember

[@empgkrazer_5124]

Get the Best ending and beat the whip's memory to unlock both richter and the sisters mode and to get the best ending you have to find a special spell that turns the sisters back to there mortal self

[@frankiegrimaldo9933]

Do you remember what the special spell is called
