The most terrifying part about legion is the fact that in the lore dracula never summoned him and not even the deamons know whare did it come from it just appeared and started consuming everybody including dracula minions So dracula just trapped it under his castle
Back when I first encountered Legion (Granfaloon) in Symphony of the Night as a kid, I described it as a "giant ball of screaming dead bodies" and realize now that it was probably the most metal phrase I had said in my entire life up to that point.
For personal matters I believe that Legion of the Castlevania franchise is one of the best recurring bosses ever. Even though Legion may not be as notorious as it's fellow masters Dracula and Death but Legion is still a major recurring boss to boot.
I simply LOVE Legion (saint) and Legion (corpse) and i really like thier design, especially the corpse version of legion, that thing is super creepy and i love it!
Legion corpse is just plain weird, scary and really hard to comprehend. Its boss arena is mysterious too and the rough GBA graphics add to the creepiness factor. Definitely a fine horror themed boss in a rather mild title. *I LOVE IT.*
That corpse that shows up when the boss opens up and it's moving it's head to the sides is almost like the the whole legion is suffering like crazy I can almost imagine it's screams and how it sounds.
The whole series just gradually forgot that it was supposed to be based on horror movies in the iga era. By the time of portrait of ruin, its not even really dark its just kind of bog standard fantasy. I find it a little sad that the core fandom would rather see the sorrow games again than something that even tries to reflect what the series was meant to be about before the mid 00s.
@@dommoore6180Kinda liked the Portrait of Ruin version tho because its heavily implied that they are the residents of the Nation of Fools who suffered post WW1 used by Brauner to fuel the castle, but you remember that the Nation of Fools is in a painting it kinda waters it down a bit. Best versions for me is the Legion Saint and Corpse though. I genuinely found them creepy when I was a kid because of the screaming.
The version of this boss in the fangame Castlevania revamped is really cool and super unique. It takes the idea of having eyes from Aria of Sorrow and makes the boss way more terrifying by having it move around a lot more.
I have always had a theory that a Nuculais is the end goal of a Legion; gathering countless souls to merge into a powerful being that is birthed in the core. Since Curse of Darkness' Legion was out of the way and optional, it had probably had the longest time to gestate, and the fact that it was forced out before it was finished developing (note the heart on the outside of the body) is about the only reason it was even beatable. Note also the Aria of Sorrow design in what appears to be a sort of embryo/fetus in a cage.
If we go by Legion's origin in the Bible he's a demonic being surrounded by the souls of the damned so it might just be that Dracula is using the souls of those condenmed to Hell as a "life source" to feed on Legion so that it may grow and develop before becoming the tall humanoid figure he is in Curse of Darkness. What a wasted opportunity for such a plotpoint in the Netflix series.
The core "screaming" whenever it's hit in HoD plus the fetus blinking in AoS means it's obviously alive, so the Nuculais is definitely at least already sentient. When the fetus is "killed", it turns into the shaking skeleton from the Corpse version. Makes me wonder if the Menace from DoS was a botched aborted form of Nuculais because of the boss room, the skeleton theme, and some of the backgrounds when fighting the legion seem to be portals to the Abyss
@@BrokenValentine-333 According to the Lore of Dawn of Sorrow Menace is simply "an amalgamation of souls" which merged together after Dmitrii Blinov failed to control them with his copied version of Soma's Power of Dominance leading to them bursting out of his body and becoming Menace. While the Castlevania wiki does point out the similarity of the final battle's arena with Legion's appeareance it still points out that Menace has a completley different origin when compared to the iconic demon from the Bible.
@@boymancinder2000 I've always wondered who or what this "calamitous demon" is. I would assume it's just referring to Menace itself after merging with all the monster souls Dmitrii had already absorbed.
Mind you according to the Bible Legion is a demon who's made out of the souls of the _damned_ meaning all those men and women who compose Legion's body must have been strictly evil people rather than the many innocent victims of the war. ¿Maybe they're all germans?
8:21 without context looks like Hector is trying to ask Satan, Belphegor, Pazuzu, Merlin and Woody Woodpecker which of them is responsible for this abomination
i mean, kinda its the hidden boss of that game so he hits like a truck, but it can be cheesed by using the death scythe, best weapon in the game that is also dark element(his weakness) of course its an ass to get this weapon, but its worth the time it takes also, most of the attacks are super easy to telegraph, and the arena is pretty big, so dodging is never a problem
Castlevania Sotn Legion and HOD Legion corpse Is the most disturbing, Just look at the background In SOTN In a wall there's a cross and church background but so many bones and corpse In a ground, In HoD Legion coprse the way they open the middle and the corpse turn their head left and right and screaming just wondering what If they have sounds. But In Map to reach legion boss Castlevania Aria of sorrow Is the most disturbing and creepy hearing a chilling sounds and screams.
senti que perdio un poco la esencia ya que su terreno era un lugar espaciasl y en synphony of the night su tematica era genial ya que estaba rodeado de filas de huesos y urepos todo decorado.

They really watered it down in the later games. The human screams and overall corpse design was much horrifying together with music

I liked Legion in Aria of Sorrow. It may have been smaller, but it would follow you around stage and still did all its moves.

I really wish legion was in circle of the moon, it would have fit sooooo well. At least we got zombie dragons as a unique boss

"I am Legion, for we are many."
Imagine the one in Hectors game but with nowadays graphics
That’s some resident evil remake shit

I understand the legion boss in portrait of ruin because it's ww2

You're missing the Harmony of Despair and Grimoire of Souls battles, and both game are still playable on their respective platforms today.
Harmony of Despair's Legion is essentially Symphony of the Night's with moveset from Portrait of Ruin's added in since it's the same recycled sprites.

Probably a reference to minos prime

While I very much prefer the name Legion, I love that the original SotN had a Vonnegut reference.
El de Curse 9f Darkness fue mi pesadilla y sin lugar a duda el Legion más poderoso de la franquicia xD

Legion - One in many.
6:12 looks like the moon from Local58

We are many, you are but one.
and here i was back then struggling to hit legion saint in HoD only to realized you can easily pull it off with a knuckle+wind book combo 😂😂
3:28😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Legionussy
This legion corpse in Harmony, looks like a.....
I know... i know... 😂
Everyone gangsta until he turns into the version from midnight horrors
I appreciate going without a subweapon in HoD. Just waiting on that holy book.
Hey do you know of the song that you play in the intro? I've heard it here and in some of your other videos and it sounds really good lol
it's from the game Lecarde Chronicles 2 OST
Just look up for the OSt of that Game in UA-cam.. and you will find it have a great Day
Soul stealing legion is the funniest thing ever
I don't care what it's called. It will always be Granfaloon to me.
beating a legion and a "nuculais" for a pizza & a pasta
So are we all just ignoring or accepting the prolapsed anuses that line the walls of Curse of Darkness' version?
don't upscale the games it looks so bad
