Dracula teaming up with Death in the Final Boss fight was epic. The only thing that beats this is Dracula walking and kicking your as$ in Order Of Ecclesia
That was great. Wish there had been more duo bosses following the theme. We had Drac/Death, Stella/Loretta and a pair of evil Doppelgangers, but Slogra and Gaibon are still relegated to being regular enemies instead of bosses, and Minotaur and Werewolf don't get a chance either. Or any two traditional Castlevania bosses being paired together in a complimentary way, really. The sky's the limit.
That always cracked me up. One of the hardest Metroidvanias and Dracula doesn't even bother with a second form, he just walks over and kicks Shanoa's teeth in.
Hardest order of ecclesia boss is definitely the shadowdancer guy. You need a very precise pattern of jumping and striking cuz one hit from him removes half of ur health.
@@tacoman422 Yeah, the Dark Meggido is a VERY strong spell, it even blasts through invincibility cheats. He has infinite health too so the only way to win is to use [Dominus]

I suspect the bad ending Game Over is because Death eventually finds a moment to kill Brauner and release the seal on Dracula, thus unleashing hell shortly after
it is weird seeing it honestly but i guess if it can happen in aria of sorrow if you completed a extra mode where you do some boss or bosses to get the fastest time (idk honestly), then i guess it is fine.
Rhicter Belmont: Legendary vampire hunter and one of the most powerful humans to walk the earth... Can get his ass whipped by some blonde guy with an emo cut repeatedly chucking pies in his face. This is the glory of Portrait of Ruin
Well... it IS John’s test of strength, his access and maybe his entire family’s access to the legendary whip’s true power without it killing you after like.. 2 years, give or take, not a death match
Brauner is such a cool villain, he is like a mix between Dracula and Orson from FE8: he lost people he loved and hated humanity for it, but the loss affected even more than that, so he deluded himself to think that his daughters could be brought back.
Erik is one of my favorite character in this series. Even though he died in this one at least he has role that give us more detail what kinda person he is. This version of Erik is much better presentation than Castlevania Judgement where he appears as little boy.
try holding the up buttom on vincent shop for too long and you get a special interraction: if jonathan alone:Vincent:"wait dont tell me the girl was...." if charlote alone:Vincent:"wait dont tell me that jonathan..." if both characters:Vincent:"Ahh but of course the young couple!, so nayve"
Portrait of Ruin, huh. ...I remember when I've played it for the first time and I accidentally lost my savedata. I was near Brauner's fight, too. couldn't play the game for a long time afterwards, the loss crushed my motivation
Same happened to me, after finishing like, half of the nest of evil my save got corrupted. I had to replay the game to get there again. Luckily after replaying it I did complete it. It was tough as fuck
Same happened with me when I was playing my downloaded version of Kid Icarus Uprising, except it wasn't just the save data, it was my entire download history. My micro SD card got corrupted, and I had to buy a new one, and redownload all that I had. That includes all my save Data for PKMN Yellow and Crystal, Shovel Knight, Cave Story, Shantae Pirates Curse, and more, like my wallpapers and game updates. Somehow, my two DSI ware games luckily didnt get effected, Shantae Risky's Revenge, and more luckily for me, Zelda Four Swords, which isnt even available on the system anymore! Guess those were saved on the system's memory.
8:00 Desync. Yes, I've watched that intro enough times to know. It, along with the game, are one of my favorites in the series. It's absolutely steeped in Castlevania lore and references, but not in a bad, pandering sort of way, and it strikes the perfect balance between being too easy (Symphony of the Night) and too hard (Order of Ecclesia). Great soundtrack too. I also like the concept of another powerful vampire saying 'screw it, Dracula's failed like ten times now, I can do better than him'. Pity they didn't make a painting level to take advantage of the historical setting; Bloodlines had skeletons in Kaiser helmets, PoR could have had a burning Berlin level with skeletons piloting tanks and biplanes even if they couldn't wear Swastikas.
I never died as the sisters so I never saw the game over screen of it until now. Gonna haunt me a while. The other times I was more or less shocked about the game over screens were Aria of Sorrow before and after Soma defeated Grahams and Order of Ecclesia before and after Draculas resurrection.
Portrait of Ruin might become my favorite of the metroidvania style Castlevanias. Gameplay is cool, music is awesome, and me being an artist, I love the painting concept of the game. I haven't played Dawn of Sorrow or Harmony of Dissonance yet, but once I play those, I will decide.
To be honest, I wasn't that fond of Portrait of Ruin when I played it a few years back, but that was probably because I was playing the game on a cheap flashcart which caused the game to freeze frequently because I didn't really feel like dropping 50 Euros or whatever to get my hands on a used copy. I'll have to buy a proper copy sometime and play it again.
Same experience, bro. That and I hated the circus paintings. Oh, and the fact that we'll never get the Demon War 1999 Castlevania title despite having Portrait of Ruin and Aria of Sorrow.
I will never not find it funny that in this series, Death is a character that serves Count Dracula, and not the other way around. Like people just know him, he chills out with the vampire gang
can't wait to see you cover Order of Eclessia. God, even the good ending isn't happy, at all. 1:09 from what I heard, in Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, you can get Alucard Spear. However, Iga denounced this version, so the continuity is a bit confusing on that part. also 1:54 and 15:43 LMFAO XD
i liked portrait of ruin and order of ecclesia a lot, i like symphony of the night, to me that one wasn't overrated, my favorite castlevania is aria of sorrow on gba, i still go back to that one from time to time. :)
Portrait of Ruin was the first Castlevania I finished, of course I got the bad ending; not being accostumed to the series and his bad endings I genuinely thought it was the true ending and hated it. So glad I returned to it and finished it for real, it's still my favourite Castlevania game!
34:29 There's actually three other modes you unlock. The two modes you said are ther in the video but the third mode is called "Old Axe Armor" mode. You get it after I kid you not, killing 1000 old axe armors in Jonathan mode. Do it at your own sanity.
Castlevania is a f#kin tragedy. A knight who got betrayed by his best friend and lost his beloved one, a vampire forced to kill his own father, a vampire hunter who lost his love, an orphan who lost her emotions and everything she had and got forgotten forever, two hunters who died earlier leaving their families and a student who fought for his love and even tried to save the world but in the end became the monster he once fought.
Yeah, just make sure you never, ever see the game over screen if you died as Charlotte and make sure to use an emulator so you can save state and load state
Man, I love later Castlevania games because of their resemblance to the old Metroid titles but they bear too many bad endings, that I would fall into if I played most of them. So seeing them in here by Git's commentary has been always great. I'd never know that those two games were connected at all since I don't know all of the Castlevania lore. Still, it would be amazing to find out all of that by myself... But I'm not particularly sad about this. As I said, Git commentary is perfect for stories like these. And... holding dpad up as Charlotte. All of us would deny that we've overdone that throughout the game but we wouldn't deceive anyone, lol.
I can't believe what I'm seeing, lol. Thank you for making this, personally one of my worst "Creepy Bad Endings" that you haven't made a video about until now.
"oh, you want to play our game just to enjoy it? TOO BAD, NO WIMPS BEYOND THIS POINT, INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY OR *GET OUT"* why do some game designers think like this?
I guess it depends on how devs look at video-games a medium, and how they see rewards in general. In a way, an ending is a game's ultimate reward. It's the culmination of the player's (and by extension, the character's) efforts. It'd make sense to reward more someone who put more effort than someone who didn't. They put more effort into it, so they should've more return on their investment. On the otherhand, it doesn't really take into account the player's skill as, well, a player. To some, like kids or people who know nothing about video-games, playing on easy is already extremely hard. So playing on the harder difficulty is out of the question. And yet they are punished for doing their best, which is considered "subpar" for some arbitrary reason. Both reasonings are valid, but there are equally as many reasons to favor one over the other. In real life, people who don't do well enough, even if they do their best, are rarely rewarded as well as those who do well. But, on the flipside, videogames are not real life. They are a medium. They tell a story. And it doesn't make much sense for a story to change based on the player's performance. A movie won't change just because you decided to watch it on a DVD instead of a theater. Imo, both approaches are valid, they just need to fit the game, and they need to be handled properly (unlike Castlevania, where it's mostly "go to a random area of the game and find an item/skill the only way you'll be able to know you need is via a cryptic hint you get from beating the bad ending.")
It's an 80s/90s thing, don't worry about it. Back then easy was just seen as for younger children or keeping the truer ending as an award for playing on a harder mode. I remember this happening on Disney games a lot, like Hercules.
I think Golden Axe nails it really well. There is a Beginner mode, where you can go only to up to the 4th stage (but the boss is a different one from the normal difficulty), and when you finish it, you just see a little message telling you that "more adventures awaits you", instead of the regular little ending and staff roll. It doesn't really blame the player for going easy, it's just telling you that the game's true experience is on the normal difficulty, and grants you a "exclusive" boss fight for doing so.
Cool video, I want to play this game now. The only Castlevania I've played is Dawn of Sorrow. Although, I was kind of hoping that not curing Vincent would have been a bad ending where he turns into a vampire and maybe becomes the villain of a future game? Idk I think that would have been neat.
Alucard had a spear in Castlevania: Nocturne in the Moonlight, the Saturn version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night that was released only in Japan
I think you can make a case for Dracula turning into Drolta being kinda similar to what happened to Isaac in Curse of Darkness. The ritual to resurrect Dracula required a host body for him to inhabit, and that just so happened to be Drolta.
If never purified... Vincent: They had the power to cure me... And yet... Humanity is so cruel... And then Vincent became Lord of Dracula's castle in the late 1960s, forcing Jonathan's son to go after him. ...Or Jonathan again. If Julius can kick ass at 56 years old, I'm sure Jonathan can too.
I do agree about the game over screens here as being creepy, mostly the 2nd one i guess cause of the blood tears of that woman that why does part of me think it was eric's wife or something. The music and game over font are ok i guess but the designs are decent as well yet still creepy. I never seem to like them imo but i always am interested to see how they did for the design of it i guess.
20:13 this is the first time a castlevaina game actualy said a bad word and also the first nintendo game to have which blows my mind cuz nintendo is family friendly
VS: Dracula and Death I don't know why, but having to fight the two hardest bosses of any game AT THE SAME TIME is simultaenously infuriating and satisfying.
I kinda got traumatized after seeing the bad ending First time playing(abusing the start button):you kill the sisters and got the bad ending After getting a spell(not spamming start or watching a f****** guide):"wow why tf i abused the start button (suffers with the other 4 damn worlds and brauner's boss fight)
Ah Portrait of Ruin the one castlevania game Where I fully completed it got all the Spell and mastered all the sub weapons, whip vincent back to health (undead killer cure him strangely enough but not the Sisters), Kicking Johnathan butt as Charlotte and using the Talk option before and after that one boss fight Beat the game in hard mode (all of it) and got blinded by Vincent alt Portrait I was like "Ahh too bright!" when I saw it. Beat the whip memory using only cream pie. Fun times to this day the only room I fear is the room full of Cave troll in the Nest of evil portrait.
Git, ya should call them Igavanias, Kogi Igarashi created the Metroidvania series beginning with 1997's Symphony of the Night and his newest title is bloodstained Ritual of the Night
If I remember correctly, you can fight Dracula and Death with the Sisters by glitching out of bounds, but I don’t think anything special happens if you win

Brauner's "(SCREAMS)" always cracks me up for some reason.
I think,there is too many "Vampire Killers" in this castle.
23:20 imagine if after loading your save after getting the bad ending, the game directly loaded the game over screen
scary thoughts
That's just the Lavender Town Buried Alive creepypasta.
That's some Undertale-like stuff, there x)
Aria of Sorrow basically kinda did it before in the boss rush mode after you see your time.

Good old Castlevania.
And we start with Bloodlines for this video? That’s a like from me.

Gonna haunt me a while.
The other times I was more or less shocked about the game over screens were Aria of Sorrow before and after Soma defeated Grahams and Order of Ecclesia before and after Draculas resurrection.
Everyone doing Castlevania stuff for Halloween this year, and despite not having played any of them, I love it.
For those of you wondering, the final secret character is an axe armor. you just need to beat the game and kill 1000 old axe armors to unlock it.
Man, what's with that specific enemy being playable in Castlevania games?
Man some of three endings are just really depressing aren’t they..

Portrait of Ruins version is more cool.And it gets a (best)extra part.
why can't dracula go a single game without being revived somehow?

There is a Beginner mode, where you can go only to up to the 4th stage (but the boss is a different one from the normal difficulty), and when you finish it, you just see a little message telling you that "more adventures awaits you", instead of the regular little ending and staff roll.
It doesn't really blame the player for going easy, it's just telling you that the game's true experience is on the normal difficulty, and grants you a "exclusive" boss fight for doing so.
Cool video, I want to play this game now. The only Castlevania I've played is Dawn of Sorrow. Although, I was kind of hoping that not curing Vincent would have been a bad ending where he turns into a vampire and maybe becomes the villain of a future game? Idk I think that would have been neat.
An antagonist that pretends to be a shopkeeper with jacked up prices to screw up the hero's mission
Charlotte Aulin best girl 👌👌👌
Cool, time for my fav Castlevania game.
Alucard had a spear in Castlevania: Nocturne in the Moonlight, the Saturn version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night that was released only in Japan
I think you can make a case for Dracula turning into Drolta being kinda similar to what happened to Isaac in Curse of Darkness. The ritual to resurrect Dracula required a host body for him to inhabit, and that just so happened to be Drolta.
1:57 That certainly fits rather sadly now.
If never purified...
Vincent: They had the power to cure me... And yet... Humanity is so cruel...
And then Vincent became Lord of Dracula's castle in the late 1960s, forcing Jonathan's son to go after him.
...Or Jonathan again. If Julius can kick ass at 56 years old, I'm sure Jonathan can too.
The power of the new generation.
honestly I think the issue of overuse was the fact that he might have used it AFTER the last game ended and made it his main weapon
May all your bees, be in my wax!
Yay I’m finally early for one
And it’s a Castlevania one, yay
POR Death looks way too much like Skeletor
I do agree about the game over screens here as being creepy, mostly the 2nd one i guess cause of the blood tears of that woman that why does part of me think it was eric's wife or something. The music and game over font are ok i guess but the designs are decent as well yet still creepy. I never seem to like them imo but i always am interested to see how they did for the design of it i guess.
37:18 I forget, isn't Eric's hair a different color in one of the Bloodlines versions?
20:13 this is the first time a castlevaina game actualy said a bad word and also the first nintendo game to have which blows my mind cuz nintendo is family friendly
Aww yeah more Castlevania!
11:32
Wind: Just Wind is fine
Jon: Okay, Just Wind, whatever you say.
VS: Dracula and Death
I don't know why, but having to fight the two hardest bosses of any game AT THE SAME TIME is simultaenously infuriating and satisfying.
I kinda got traumatized after seeing the bad ending
First time playing(abusing the start button):you kill the sisters and got the bad ending
After getting a spell(not spamming start or watching a f****** guide):"wow why tf i abused the start button (suffers with the other 4 damn worlds and brauner's boss fight)
1st reply:i got the bad ending because i forgor to use the frog spell in the part of the boulder ... Fudge
2nd reply
26:34
My reaction after getting to that part in richter mode (yep i couldnt got to that part in normal mode):god dang it time to suffer
Ah Portrait of Ruin the one castlevania game Where I fully completed it got all the Spell and mastered all the sub weapons, whip vincent back to health (undead killer cure him strangely enough but not the Sisters), Kicking Johnathan butt as Charlotte and using the Talk option before and after that one boss fight Beat the game in hard mode (all of it) and got blinded by Vincent alt Portrait I was like "Ahh too bright!" when I saw it. Beat the whip memory using only cream pie. Fun times to this day the only room I fear is the room full of Cave troll in the Nest of evil portrait.
Best final battle in castlevania ever
FYI there are a couple of fan made Castlevania games where you play as Lacarde again.
Git, ya should call them Igavanias, Kogi Igarashi created the Metroidvania series beginning with 1997's Symphony of the Night and his newest title is bloodstained Ritual of the Night
Hi Mr. Git!
Soon you will have to do the 64 games just for the creepy bad endings.
I THOUGHT THIS SAID 4 MONTHS AGO LMAO LOVE YOUR VIDS
Edit: Mistook 8 for 4
Damn, John Morris is fucking jacked.
You know, Hair Dye WAS a thing during Castlevania: Bloodlines, so maybe Eric Lecarde used it, who knows?
Wax? WAX?! No please! XD
*Waxworks flashbacks*
lol
Oh god Oh fuck
If I remember correctly, you can fight Dracula and Death with the Sisters by glitching out of bounds, but I don’t think anything special happens if you win
Damn, total missed opportunity. Vampire Vincent should have become the new Dark Lord!
What a hell boss fight.
He will make expensive prices on his Shop.
