Not sure if you knew this, so... Here's a hint to making Dimitri even easier on later runs. He copies the latest red soul power used against him. So hit him with something like a skeleton or the mandragora or anything that's easier to dodge than those giant gray fire balls. And if you did know, maybe someone else can use this knowledge in their own runs.

The RPG actually isn't affected by your strength or attack stats; the amount of damage it does is fixed for each enemy and boss. Because of this, you should equip your best defensive gear when using it.
@@jruler93 Oh, that's still a thing in Dawn of Sorrow? I know that was the case for Aria, but after reading that tidbit about the RPG I would have thought otherwise. Weird. Maybe they just wanted the RPG to always be effective even if you're underleveled.
13:18 As someone who recently played Dawn of Sorrow for the first time and had to look up how to do that exact seal, the issue is generally that Dawn of Sorrow prioritizes drawing fast over drawing accurately. Drawing the outer perimeter of the shape as a circle helps significantly.

Fun Castlevania Fact: For the US version of Castlevania 1, the Holy Water was translated to the Fire Bomb in order to avoid ties to religion. I'd like to imagine that this run is just an "advanced" fire bomb. Or the rockets are just filled with holy water idk.
Hey, Nyarly, I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but please never apologize for uploading a video. And don't worry, self-imposed challenges don't always have to seem impossible to be fun (for example, RE4 speedrunners tend to favor the NG+ categories to the standard New Game ones; the game itself is easier, but they're still really entertaining to watch)
Yeah menace is not the real final boss of dawn it's the meatball monsters that are the real true final challenge and it becomes a dps race to see if you can kill menace before they kill you.
here's a very "in brand" run you could do. either a "summoner" run, or a "minion" run. summoner would be using only summon blue souls, and yellow souls. minion would be more broader, with would include any ability that summons a monster, which includes the witch aprentice and the zombie dog(or abbadon).
being a non castlvania player, what weapons does this game not have, i thought it was like medieval witches and warlocks but i've seen everything from sword, to gun, and now RPG???
On the topic of sealing death, I've ran into the same problem using original hardware and cart. No matter how fast or precise I did it, the seal wouldn't count and i was thrown back into the fight. I thought maybe you needed to do something special before sealing like hitting 'em with a certain weapon/soul or having a certain item equipped. But finding nothing online and after many, many attempts I just kinda gave up and did it really fast and sloppy (pretty sure i missed 2 nodes) with it actually accepting it, sealing him for the victory. My next two playthroughs same thing; quick but precise = fail. Extremely fast and sloppy = success. My conclusion is that the seal is glitched in that it has to be done in a split second or just over and over again until it glitches itself to work.
Rockets would work fine underwater as long as the fuel mixture carries its own oxidizer. Maybe even more effective because the pressure wave would propagate much faster in water
You think needing to hit the mannequins in the Puppet Master fight twice is difficult? Try needing to hit them four times on hard mode. I ended up using the knife special to get around fighting the Puppet Master until after Zephyr, by which point I was much better equipped.
Much as the Positron Rifle from Aria seems fun (and great at giving everyone in the castle cancer!), I'm pleasantly surprised at how stupidly good the RPG is. I was never able to obtain it from the boss rush in Dawn (same with Aria's posi-rifle), but an easy mode run of just blowing everything up was a great idea.
@@donovanlocust1106 Well, a positron rifle would be a particle beam weapon. And one of the issues of weaponizing particle beams is that they would likely irradiate stuff with gamma radiation. Very well, in fact. It's not as safe as a laser weapon would be (and apparently, a laser powerful enough to blast someone could also permanently blind anyone in the vicinity without eye protection), nor a plasma weapon (which has its own issues with sustaining the plasma). I like energy weapons in sci-fi a lot, but there's good reasons why we don't have them yet. Portable power sources notwithstanding for an energy gun.
Bat Company's hitbox is very weird and it took me quite a while to figure out how to avoid it reliably. I mentioned the low-level guide I wrote in one of my comments on your other videos, and in it I also wrote up my findings on this topic. There is a good amount of jump-kicking involved. So yeah, there's that as well as how to dodge Abaddon's attacks. And how to...make do against Menace.
You know, after watching you go through torture with the fist only run, you really deserved to have fun and just unleash devastation upon your enemies!
nice to know: those leech like creatures resemble the langolier monsters from a steven king novel/movie. and there is theory that the 3 heads of menace are Celia/Dario and Dimitri.
I owned Curse of Darkness, but never ended up playing it. I was too addicted to Diablo 2. Now that I don't really care about Diablo 2, I wish I still had some of my old games that I never played.

I never had trouble with magic seals on the original DS, even when the touch screen started wearing out and scratches started appearing. I wonder if this'd be even easier on a gorilla-glass screen or using a PC drawing-tablet or something. The worst part about these boss battles was how long they were if you weren't grinding levels & souls.
Exactly. I was thinking of killing huge bosses in one hit with a rocket launcher in RE4, when he got to Menace and mentioned how satisfying it was to shoot it in the head.
I never really struggled with the seals. They annoyed me because it required pulling out the stylus. The execution of the seals? I seldom failed. I imagine they're much more difficult to pull off with a computer mouse.
I heard “Rocket launcher” and “close range” and thought or Super bullet break and started to laugh There is a boss holding a rocket launcher and says im going to get close and blast you to bits
Just a tip for Abaddon, the safest place to hit him is in the corner behind him. So if he's facing left, hide in the right corner. Most of his attacks don't reach there.
How do most people deal with Abaddon, just on regular runs? The first time I played it, I had a max level Buer soul (summon a circle of flames around you) and kind of sat next to him. It protected me against the swarms and dealt damage until he died. Hell, I think he didn't even move, just stood there in the middle of the screen next to me and my circle of flames.
Soma got fed the fuck up of people insulting his pistol. He brought his big gun this time. Like "I'm not stuck in this castle with you. You're stuck in here with me."
