Castlevania, known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula, is a platform game developed and published by Konami for the Family Computer Disk System video game console in Japan in September 1986. It was ported to cartridge format and released in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in May 1987 and in Europe in 1988. It was also re-issued for the Family Computer in cartridge format in 1993. It is the first game in Konami's Castlevania video game series.

It’s Draculas own fault for keeping holy water in his throne room.
He's just a fan of fair play.
It's the hubris every time
Keep your enemy closer you know what I'm sayin'
"Just don't die" strat of the century
For the last boss I’ve heard that if Dracula’s second form gets you cornered you should kneel before him and he jumps higher so you can get under him.
I thought you were going to say kneel before him and pledge him your allegiance
It does work. It's really weird, idk how anyone was sposed to figure it out naturally, but it works and it's a life saver.
One thing Ryu missed, that it applies to every level regarding Medusa heads, they fly in the same pattern everytime. So, for instance in Stage 5 (Level 2, screen 2) when you have to platform around them, if you find a safe spot where you are not getting hit by them, that will be a safe spot the entire screen. That was a huge tip that helped me move around them.
Yeah, watch the arc and just keep walking. Then just make sure you don't turn around or they'll come from both directions.
Castlevania 2 now!
What I do is take a few steps back, and they’ll usually fly right over me. I figured their pattern out pretty quick. They’re more of a pain and you’ll want take a few chances on timing jumps when you have to platform through the Medusas like on those small sections on Stage 2.
For Medusa heads, any spot is a safe spot if you're not moving at the moment when the head spawned. If you moved a little, just kneel and you should still be safe.
Stage 3 boss - don’t break the meat block. Just stand up top and lob holy waters between the mummies and stun lock them in place until they’re dead.
“You’re gonna wanna farm as many hearts as possible, that’s gonna apply to every level in the game.”
Immediately walks past a falling heart. 😂
Like 50 times. 😕
"YOU're gonna wanna farm". You suck at the game, not him. He doesn't need it. 🤣🤣
That had to have been deliberate.
A few things to point out:
1. When an enemy is frozen using the holy water, he actually can't hurt you, so you can just walk past him without taking any damage. It is especially useful during the final phase of Dracula, as you can completely avoid taking damage in 18:32 by simply walking past him while he's frozen (instead of attacking his head like Ryu does here)
You can also use this technique during the hallway with the knights. Just walk past them when they're frozen and they'll disappear when they're off-screen. Although the method shown in the video is great too.
2. 16:19 Correction: If you game over you actually respawn at the start of the stairs (just like when you die regularly), so you won't have to come back to the beginning of the stage and deal with the bats again.
So yeah. great video as usual Ryu! Keep up the good work!
Crap. I didn’t know frozen enemies couldn’t hurt you. I beat Dracula’s final form without that knowledge. But thanks anyways.
*Pro Tip for Castlevania 1, 3 and 4:*
You can force the Double or Triple Shot item to spawn by killing a certain number of enemies with a single subweapon and then breaking a lamp.
The amount of required kills changes between games but it works the same.
This is most easily exploited in the hallway before Death, since there are infinite spawning medusa heads and axe armors, allowing you to _always_ get a Triple Shot cross before the boss fight.
Yup. I feel like it was 10 in the first game? If you're using the cross, you can sometimes conserve hearts by tossing a cross behind you, jumping over it when it comes back, and then following it down a hallway. It'll keep going and hitting things as long as you keep it on the screen. :)
Yes I used that technique for the vampire/Cookie Monster lol at the end ✌️
Holy water for both of those bosses. This is the way
Castlevania 2 now!
It's better to get the triple boomerangs before going into the hallway
"farm up all the hearts you can"
proceeds to not pickup a dozen heart drops
You’re like a Disney tour guide for video games. It’s fantastic. I love it.
James Banana is the seudonym for Kinuyo Yamashita, she's the music composer for this game bro. After you finished stage 18, it loops again, but the enemies are twice as fast. There are 99 stages, so you have to keep playing it 6 times in a row.
You taught me afew interesting things today!
@@superluigi8539 gee thanks 👍
Huh, I didn't know the loops changed things.
I thought the game stayed the same.
Might have to go for that 99 stage clear now.
lol :P
@@BRGKasumi77Main what happens after the sixth play through, I know during the second there's a ton of Medusas and you continue to take 4 damage , do the credits just end then reset?
@@rubenabrego6762 No. after you reached the sixth loop, the game continues, the enemies as fast from the second playthrough and over, also the damage is increased by 4 from the second loop and over, nothing changes.
That snap into the finger gun after Medusa was hysterical! 😂😂😂❤
Can you explain that one for my friend? Was he poking fun at someone who struggled with that boss or something?
Original Castlevania(tm) played by original Ryu(tm). Perfection. And kudos to James Banana for one of the best game soundtracks ever composed.
James Banana is the pseudonym for Kinuyo Yamashita, she was a member of Konami Club and she is the composer for this game bro.
genuinely my fav youtube series man, plz do these more!! love u ryu
Can we get a Simons Quest Debunking the Difficulty?? That games music also slaps!
This video made me think back to calling the 1-900 Nintendo tip phone line, where someone with the game and a binder would talk you through parts of levels.
I wasted so much money getting that advice back in the 90’s 😅
@@luke.friesenI remember my dad on the phone for 20 minutes getting tips on how to beat mecha turtle in TMNT. It’s crazy to think that’s a job that literally does not exist anymore as a profession, even horse and buggy drivers still exist
One additional pro tips: You can farm subweapon upgrades faster by destroying 10 things (including candles) with them.
Tripple cross long distance death was my childhood strategy
8:00 ayo why that tower flippin' us off like that
It's my favorite series on UA-cam, for what it's worth , love what you do Brother and makes the week that much more palatable , so thank you 👊
This video was just what I needed, man. Hope you're doing great.
You can force Double and Triple powerups on your sub-weapons by simply breaking candles with the sub-weapon. The intended way is to kill enemies with the sub-weapon but who's got time for that? Got a cross? Start breaking candles with it. Got holy water? Break candles with it! You'll have II and III in no time.
8:00 the building in the back is flipping ryu the bird
Great guide! I thought Ryu had already done Castlevania NES in the series previously for some reason. It seems like many NES games have one "broken" weapon. Contra has spread shot, Mega Man 2 has Metal Blades, and this has holy water. I have always struggled with this game, but I might give it another try with these tips!
There actually is a game patch for this game that alters the jumping to be similar to Mega Man where you can control your jump while in the air.
To be honest I think the stiff jumping gives NES Castlevania games their charm. It's super frustrating but it's so satisfying when you beat the games. I hope Ryu tries to beat CV3 Dracula's Curse. That game is one of the hardest NES games out there especially if you choose the difficult path Alucard and bone dragon level with the water rising where have to beat the bone dragon before you drown.
@@aeter4352 That's fair. I hear you. The stiff controls are part of what makes Castlevania Castlevania. You do learn to get used to it much like the jumping in a game like Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
It sounds like Ryu will be doing Castlevania III at some point. I've never played it myself, but I have heard it can get really difficult and may be one of (if not) the hardest of the Castlevania games.
If you need even more pro strats to this game, then check out You Can Beat Video Games channel where he does deep dives into the game and their lore and how to beat them as efficiently as possible.
@@frozenburst6463 Nice! I'll check it out! Thanks! There are actually plenty of NES games I always found difficult, but wanted to try and complete.
I thought so too some reason! Went back and he did stream a playthrough, but it wasn't a debunk guide.
Surprised you made a debunking the difficulty video for this game thanks ryu.
Against the cookie monster, you can stay crouched in front of him before he jumps and he will do a high jump, allowing you to pass under him without taking damage. You have to crouch early though, if you do it at the last moment he will already have commited to doing a low jump.
What I always did against Dracula's second form, when he corners you, is to just throw a holy water and run through him while he is stunned.
You can also just noodle around back and forth really fast and he'll do a high jump 100% of the time
This game is no joke. Yes it is hard.
I love this series, keep it up dude!
I usually preferred the cross (especially with the triple modifier) to the holy water myself. Though back in the day I always called the cross the boomerang due to how it flies out and back. haha. Also because there's already a cross item in the game that kills everything on the screen. :P
EDIT: Ok, you gave some love to the cross too. I wrote this before you mentioned it. lol
I had always called it the boomerang cross myself because that's basically what it is.
That it's a Rosary.
Back in the day, Nintendo usually tried to distance itself from religious iconography in the West, so they usually referred to the cross and holy water as "boomerang" and "fire bombs". You can pretty much use the terms interchangeably. In Bloodlines, the Genesis game, Konami even subbed out the cross for an actual crescent-shaped boomerang for some reason.
When I was 16, I beat this game on one life (without dying once). It took me several months to accomplish but I did it. I had the run recorded on VHS at one point but it was lost over the decades. I preferred the cross (I think it's actually supposed to be a boomerang) in most levels to the holy water. But most bosses and the one hallway, the holy water works better. I also thought the hunchbacks were monkeys.
Yeah, the Cross behaves like a boomerang, but the subweapon still is a cross. Though you will find the weapon usually being referred to as a boomerang in English versions of the games and manuals as a form of censorship to religion.
A boomerang doesn't have 4 prongs, nor is an ordinary boomerang associated with vanquishing the undead or purifying the corrupted. It's a cross, a classic religious symbol associated with warding off evil spirits. And for whatever reason, they decided to make it throw and fly like a boomerang.
@@BladeOfLight16 "The number of "wings" [on a boomerang] is often more than 2 as more lift is provided by 3 or 4 wings than by 2." most modern boomerangs are 4 pronged.
But pedantry aside, you're right. It's the cross. The other cross is a crucifix. It's not a boomerang.
When I was in 6th grade I got to where I could finish it on one life every time using the cross for bosses and only the whip everywhere that wasn't a boss.
@8:32 What you want to do is NOT get the pot roast and just get back on the platform and spam holy water from there. They can't hit you from that position.
Waiting for your castlevania debunking difficulty playlist ... 🔥🔥 ... Good job ryu ..
I’ve been waiting for this.
One Castlevania game I could never beat thanx for the tips dude
Thanks Ryu for all the great videos !!! 🙂
This series is awesome, keep this stuff coming
Simons quest had so much potential and is still a good game. Its not even the cryptic nature that stinks but alot of dead space, poor or no bosses, brutal jumping, the constant text from day to night etc. Id love to see a legit remake
@@popscola2574 There's a full fan made remake, Castlevania Chronicles 2 Simon's Quest!
Great video! I always loved this game, especially the music in it!
The two reasons why most people considered Castlevania to be hard were: The knock back and the jumping behavior. Games people were used to prior to Castlevania didn't have knock back like that (or only a very tiny one) and had air control. E.g. think of Super Mario or Metroid, which pretty much everyone knew to play. Actually games without air control are exceptional rare. Three other annoying game choices were: Sections with endless re-spawning (most people hate the concept), how weapon control (up + fire = secondary fire) conflicts with stair movement and stairs in general, which are badly designed to begin with and can really mess you up. On top of that, nobody who played that game initial expected projectiles to be destructible by your whip (again, hardly any game has destructible projectiles), so people tried to dodge them which is impossible in Castlevania, so they got quickly frustrated.
As a huge Metroidvania fan, I feel guilty for not having played any Castlevania games. This one in particular has always intimidated me, hoping this video will give the courage to try it!
Its not too bad with a little layout memorization, aside from frankenstein,dracula and especially the reaper. The grim reaper was my first real roadblock for a while. You have unlimited continues too so that helps. Its not a real long game. Good one to save state on an emulator and return in spurts until you break through. Second one is very easy gameplay wise, but very cryptic without a guide. Third is the hardest of the NES games. A great starting Castlevania is Rondo Of Blood for the Turbo Duo, if you can emulate it. Quite easy for the series but alot of fun.
@@theconsolekiller7113You can get it on ps4 if you have that also.
Cv2 is the first game to have the "Metroidvania" formula, but some consider it to be kind of a stinker. It is very cryptic, and after all of the annoying parts of the game, you can just walk right past the final boss! I like it though, it was a very ambitious game.
@@superluigi8539 Nice. Im assuming through a Castlevania collection or something similiar. Those have been big lately. I have an emulation focused machine and have cleared most of the 2D castlevania games on that machine. Theres a few of the Symphony of the night style games on the GBA that I never really worked on, but seem great. There was also one very sluggish GB Castlevania that I dont think Ive completed yet.
@@superluigi8539 Yea. Its cool what they tried to do. Enjoyed it as a kid, with the music, the changing time of day but could hardly get anywhere back then. It was memorable for being so mysterious. Later I used a guide and the game was a joke, gameplay wise. I think you can walk right past several of the bosses, ha ha.
The game's only 1UP pickup is hidden 1/3 of the way through Stage 13, at the end of the upper level, right before the stairs that lead to the red skeletons. On the upper level, hold right at the wall until the hidden 1UP appears, and then haul ass down to it before it disappears.
At the end of the red skeleton section, there's a wall meat hidden in the left side of the raised ground blocks before the door.
To those who main the triple cross weapon, the US version of the game often freezes if three crosses are onscreen with too many other sprites; I've had the game lock up many times this way, including at bosses, so now I only play the JP version since I often use triple cross on Drac's final phase (and the post-boss point calculations happen faster in this version too).
Something else on the mummies boss fight which I found useful was that you could jump back up to the entrance way once you started the boss fight (if you didn't break the wall to get the pot roast) and just camp them out from there. It's also even easier to beat with the cross, since it will do damage to them on every frame if you hit both of them at the same time with it.
Also, for the death boss fight, something I have seen people claim is that the scythes positions are random outside of the start, which is completely untrue. The scythes will always spawn in the same relative positions to Simon that they do at the start of the fight (so down and to the right, directly above, and up and to the left of Simon as seen at 14:14 when they spawn mid-jump), but after the first volley, if they would spawn fully outside of the screen then they will loop back around before spawning.
So for example if the scythe that normally spawns up and to the left would spawn offscreen to the left, then it will instead loop back around and spawn on the right side of the screen, as seen at 14:18.
If they would spawn halfway offscreen then they just don't spawn at all during that volley.
This means that with the correct movement, (which is very hard) you can control where the crosses are at all times, which can make for a very fun challenge if your doing a whip-only no-upgrades run and want to try beating every boss (or the whole game for that matter) without doing damage to anything except bosses (so no killing enemies, no destroying torches, no getting hit by birds/bats, no destroying axes or scythes, etc) since it turns the Death Boss into a kind of puzzle game where your trying to figure out where you should be standing so you can manipulate the positions of the scythes to open up windows where you can do damage to the boss without hitting them which I find really satisfying to pull off.
Lastly, something I found helpful when facing the hunchbacks is that if you are looking right at them and duck around 1 block infront of them while they are looking at you, they seem to always do a large hop. This is both very helpful for casual playthrough and also lets you pull off a lot of really cool strategies like getting through the entire area at 9:44 without killing anything by bunching all the hunchbacks up and repeatedly forcing them to do a full jump as you move forwards which is (once again) very satisfying to pull off.
Edit: Oh also that same strategy used for the hunchbacks can be used when facing the Cookie Monster (Dracula Phase 2) where you just duck in front of him after he does a large jump and he will (almost always) do a large jump, which can be used to put the boss in an infinite loop where he can't hurt you while you just slowly chip him down by hitting him as he is landing and then forcing another full jump.
Hopefully this advice is helpful, cheers.
I'm surprised more people don't mention that tactic with the mummies. I always beat it that way as a kid
Music remixes or reimaginations of C-Vania's game music are usually really awesome.
Thank you Ryu !!! For inspiring me to finally call this one beat , watched your video and said "screw it!! I'm gettn this one done". I was very close but stuck at death for a few months, but after years, I finally did it , the Cookie Monster is finito !!!!
Great stuff, I just subscribed.
Your commentary is amazing on this! It’s exactly what goes through my head- “stupid skeleton” etc!
Would love to see a vid on Blaster Master personally. Keep up the good work Ryu!
There was actually a hidden wall chicken at 11:23, not sure if you missed it intentionally.
I advise trying out stages 14-15 with the Axe and save it for Death. The Axe has the perk of flying over the Axe Knights’ shields and hitting them on their heads, which can kill them quickly (1-3 hits). I’d say the Axe is more useful against Death’s sickles than the Cross as the trajectory will destroy projectiles that spawn right above you.
Lastly, here’s a helpful tip about Dracula’s second form: if he is stunned by Holy Water, you can walk through him without getting hurt as long as he is still stunned.
I must be going crazy. I thought he already debunked this game
me too!
The most disturbing Mandela Effect indeed.
great vid, i hope you someday do castlevania 3
Ryu makes me cry. I've spent countless hours as a kid trying to beat this game. And he does it in 10 minutes.
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest was always my favorite. If you're looking for some more bangers and awesome gameplay. I highly recommend it.
Castlevania 2 has it's charm is basically unplayable without a guide the translation was garbage and makes no sense at all. There are good translation patches like bisqwit's Re-translation which even adds an in-game map if you want it. I think Bloody Tears is the best part of the game. It could have been so much better with challenging unskippable bosses at every mansion and a non-cheesable Dracula. I do love the RPG style of it.
@@aeter4352 There's a full fan made remake, Castlevania Chronicles 2 Simon's Quest!
@@trevorblue4531 Yeah I've seen it. I prefer the NES style though. This looks more like the metroidvania style games.
Love your Castlevania series RYU. Just wondering if you’re ever gonna finish The Last of Us Part 2? Didn’t see it in your old videos.🙏🏾🙏🏾
Three rules for me to beat this game:
1. Get the holy water
2. Get the holy water
3. GET the HOLY WATER
Speaking of Castlevania with rockin soundtracks, any chance you've been thinking about a Simon's Quest playthrough in the near future?
I just started wstching your vids. So far I'm really enjoying seeing you whip through (no pun intended) the games i played as a teenager. A couple things with this one though: That weapon you used to beat Madusa was not a cross. It's a boomerang. The cross is the one use weapon that eliminates all the enemies on the current screen. It makes the little siren noise when you grab it. Also, not sure if you are aware, but there are several treasures you missed throughout your playthrough. Hidden in bricks or that appear when you step in a certain place. Helpful for points/ extra lives. Obviously, you don't need extra lives 😂 but a useful nugget for your viewers. Maybe another playthrough where you show all of them? Just a suggestion. Either way, I did enjoy the vid. 👍
Fun fact: Those hunchback enemies in stage 3 are called Fleamen.
Before I even went to put the cart in the system I looked up this specific video just to see if you did indeed do a guide for this game, and by luck you have. Got my ass thoroughly hammered by this game for a good three hours but the tips certainly helped. If nothing else it psyched me up to finally beat this game like a big boy for the first time. I like how you don't talk about every strat and cheese this game has to offer, just what you know from experience. It's very layman
Stop watch is a huge help in stage 17
Watching this again, extra tips for Cookie Monster (last boss):
- You can dodge his jump. If you kneel in from of him, he high jumps and you can safely cross.
- If you jump before you throw the holy water, you get a free hit.
Great video! You should do a debunking the difficulty of the first gradius on the nes
"get all hearts possible"
said ryu, totally ignoring one heart on screen 🤣
😂 yeah I noticed that right away
Yeah, you. He doesn't need it lol.
Who the hell is James Banana 🤣 Nicely done dude! Keep these videos up!
This series is so great, I already know I'm going to love this one before it even starts.
You know a game I'd like to see you debunk? Blaster Master for the NES!
-You played the greatest role in this story
I usually find it hard to stick with NES games for more than a few hours. I guess I just don't hold any emotional connection to it. I grew up playing the SNES. Love that system.
Hey man been a while how ya doin ,You might remember me from talking to you on one of your live streams ,Good to see you doin more vids that aren't Mario maker been waiting to see it ,hope you do more multiplayer vids I'm sure others would like to see it Otherwise it's important to do what you like and I've noticed people like to complain or talk shit but your so cool about it don't take no crap from anyone man I know what it's like to have to deal with aholes
You can earn sub-weapon upgrades by killing multiple monsters with them. Hitting things with a single throw of a sub-weapon 2, 3 or 4 times increases your odds of a candle dropping an upgrade (instead of what it would drop by default). So hit 2 or 4 things with one sub-weapon, repeat this once or three times, then hit a candle or two.
I love the way the game rewards you for killing well 😈 Sub-weapon upgrades make you super powerful, especially vs bosses. Also, candles count as something to hit, so line up that axe, holy water, or cross with a monster and a candle or two, and boom.
In the section around 6:55, and any other with stairs and flying enemies, another thing to keep in mind is that if you're climbing the stairs and you get hit, you won't get knocked back, so it can be a saving grace in some areas.
Tip: When you're going up the stairs to fight Dracula, you can hit the candles and collect some hearts (don't go all the way into the throne room), then go back down the stairs to the bottom screen, backup the stairs again and the candles reset and you can keep getting more hearts! Rinse and Repeat until you have enough for throwing Boomerang/Holy Water! Enjoy!
11:26 passed wall meat.
The castle in the background on 13:28 looks like it's flipping you the bird lol
The way he calls it a POT ROAST when it's a PORK CHOP..............THE AUDACITY!!!
So fun! Didn't you figure out the stage 1 Dracula strat on stream? I feel like I remember watching you grind that out, then the lightbulb went off.
Just what I needed! ❤
I really really want that t shirt.Where did u get that if I may ask?
Never been able to beat the last boss so cheap
I just realised that Vampire Survivors is packed with reworked Castlevenia Assets :D Like, the holy water, the ham, the chandliers, Even the mobs, THE WEAPONS. How did i not noticed that man??
I highly recommend doing a "Debunking the Difficulty" video on Castlevania for MSX2 sometime, if you can. Despite having no continues or ability to earn extra lives, I actually find it easier than Castlevania on NES due to the simple fact that it's balanced more for smart playing through the use of its expanded inventory, as opposed to twitch reflexes -- even if you suck as a gamer, you can beat Castlevania on MSX2 simply by knowing where to find white bibles (and avoid black bibles), knowing where the merchants are, and making good use of the hourglass, holy water, and wood shield. It requires a very different mindset from its NES counterpart, and almost certainly multiple playthroughs, getting a little bit farther each time as you familiarize yourself with each stage, but clearing it feels really rewarding as a result (even if the ending sucks!).
If you ever do try it, though, READ THE MANUAL FIRST. I can't stress this enough. MSX2 Castlevania (officially called Vampire Killer for its release in the UK and other European territories) is NOT an intuitive game, and a lot of the mechanics in it were NEVER reused in any other Castlevania game, so it's not something you can just jump into and figure out along the way. It's very much its own thing, and that's what I love about it -- it's one of my absolute favorite Castlevania games, and I will die on that hill. ;)
This game kicked my ass when I was young kid, but nowadays I have played it so much that I can beat it while taking moderate amount of damage.
You did a pretty good guide to Castlevania. You and You Can Beat Video Games should find a game to make a guide together, as he too also makes great guides go retro games.
I wish the cross had maintained that boss-ass “BOOM-BOOM” sound, instead of sounding more like the flittering axe
I would use the stopwatch the first 2 levels, go to holy water until level 6, then stopwatch again until Dracula, then back to crosses and upgrade to level 3 by farming with the cross.
Love it! Just wanted to point out- The pot roast isn’t a dev power up, it’s listed in the manual as “hidden in the background” and appears with “secret whip stroke”.
I don't think be intended to imply it was a dev power up, I think he was calling the devs sneaky for hiding power ups and sub upgrades in the walls
First 2 bosses are vulnerable to the Stopwatch, so you can stick to that as well. It also greatly helps with medusa heads since you can pause them while making all the jumps.
3rd level gives you Holy Water at the start, so it works as a nice transition.
I like this. Nicely executed. Clean run. One thing I would have liked to have seen you mention was that you can run through things while they’re under the holy water. Nicely done tho
Earth Defense Force debunking...that game is brutal.
Great video, but I'm quite surprised you didn't mention "chasing the boomerang". Or, cross I guess you call it. I always just called it the boomerang. Anyway, it's when you toss the cross backwards, jump over it when it returns, then follow after it, letting it kill/damage enemies before you even get to them. Sometimes can really help with Medusa pits.
I was never able to get to Frankenstein in the 80s lol the end of this game was a mystery to me until youtube came into existence
Hey Mr.Ryu would you ever do a Whip Only Castlevania run?
Would love to see you play Bionic Commando. Remember this game being close to impossible growing up.
Id like to see an episode of this on Wolverine NES
Is it possible to make this video with the NTSC version of Castlevania III?
I'm actually in 251st place with a time of 14:25, which funny enough is just a few spots behind Barbarian (BarbarousKing) who has a time of 14:02
I love this game but I have never beat it.
Stoked to see it debunked!
Will you end up doing Castlevania 3 or maybe Dracula X?
The castle in the background at 8:01 looks like it's flipping you off with a smaller castle hand
trivia: Medusa was the name of the creature in the greek myth. She was a gorgon named Medusa. The flying heads are gorgon heads, not medusa's :)
What's with that unique palette? I'm used to seeing different colors whenever I play this game.
Have you ever played Legend of Dragoon for Playstation? Would love to see a playthrough
