• Castlevania Chronicles...
Out of nowhere I heard that there was a brand new fan-made Castlevania 2 remake for the PC with all new graphics, sound, and some extras. Being a big fan of the original NES version, there was no way I could pass this one up. Now that the leather whip only challenge is complete and version 1.2 is released, I decided to do a 100% completion, no death run. This playthrough collects all items, remains, subweapons, and whips and gets the "good ending", all without dying once. I also tried to make creative use of all the subweapons at times, just for fun. Here are some highlights:
20 seconds - This is just a fun thing that happens when you choose "Continue" when there is no save file. Aaaaah! Does this now count as a "one death" run before it even started?
3 minutes, 10 seconds - Do rapid taps on the stairs for maximum enjoyment.
20 minutes - You're supposed to crouch for a few seconds with the blue crystal here like in the original, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be standing at the edge of the platform. Safety first!
22 minutes, 40 seconds - This is an odd area that I think you can only get to if you're hit in a specific way. In previous versions there was a chest up here with a small amount of money but in version 1.2 there seems to be nothing.
33 minutes, 20 seconds - This wolfman got frozen in place here. That's fun.
40 minutes - The lightning that strikes this boss when he dies can hurt you. Beware!
41 minutes - Make sure you dance to Battle of the Holy. It's an amazing song.
43 minutes, 50 seconds - There's a bit of a glitch here in version 1.2 when you enter the town of Alba from the right side. It starts you in the church instead of the beginning of the town.
45 minutes - This woman likes you. Make sure to say hello for no reason.
50 minutes, 55 seconds - You can face away and still get the lightning to strike here if you're very precise. You can also jump "out of" the fall here. I see no reason to do either of these tricks. Who is the guy in the tree though?
55 minutes, 30 seconds - I forgot to demonstrate this fully but Carmilla cannot be damaged by your whip shortly before, during, and after she's firing her big blast. Subweapons can still damage her in this state though so toss a knife or something to get that extra damage in.
58 minutes - Here's a nice trick to handle the ghosts. It even works on the floating platforms if you need to do it there.
1 hour, 16 minutes, 50 seconds - Here's a fun way to use the cross/boomerang.
1 hour, 22 minutes - The key thing to know in this boss battle is that while Trevor is flashing after being hit, he cannot hurt you. This is your chance to slide past him and strike the others.
1 hour, 40 minutes, 20 seconds - The axe subweapon is useful against the final boss so I max my hearts here.
1 hour, 42 minutes, 30 seconds - This part is so beautiful that I had to stop and watch.

Final thoughts:
Generally I only try these sorts of difficult challenges on games that I really enjoy and this was no exception. Warmachine Studios did a fantastic job here and I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the original. Actually, even if you dislike the original or haven't played it, play this game!

Excellent, thanks! 🤘
Thanks for watching!
Thank got they god rid most of towns water pits and wow so much bosses added original only had 2 and so much addition they did really good job i'd say what an amazing soundtrack i really like the darkness feature in mansion like limited vision this is so amazing
Also the statue heal you and currency and heart is now being 2 diffrent things.. the original Simon quest doesn't even have floating candle to whip
I had a great time with this game. The slide also adds an interesting element that allows you to get around faster and avoid damage if you use it correctly, and the map was a nice addition as well as the extra subweapons. There are also some other secrets that weren't in the original that added some replay value. If anyone reading this is interested in downloading this game or the soundtrack then check out the video description for a link. The same guy (WarMachine Studios) also just released his version of Castlevania III called "Castlevania Chronicles III - Dracula's Curse" that follows the same sort of "reimagining" formula. I have a deathless playthrough of it in the link below if you want to see what it looks like and if you want to give it a try (or just grab the soundtrack) then there's a link in that video description that will get you where you need to be.

@subledger. I didnt see the link for the actual game in the description anywhere. Did I miss it or is it not there?
@@MegaDicksneeze Oh no! I never put the link in the video description so I just added it. Thanks for letting me know. The developer of the game (WarMachine Studios) has a video trailer on his UA-cam channel that can be found here:
ua-cam.com/video/fddKTZsaHZ4/v-deo.htmlsi=qMko59und1rzBp2K
If you check out the description of that video then you'll find both a link to join his Discord server as well as a direct download link. Thanks for watching!
That Carmilla fight almost made me quit. I'm loving this remake, but damn. I know the bosses in the original SQ were famously criticized for being too easy, but that didn't mean they needed to turn the corner into needlessly sadistic.
Yeah she's brutal! Carmilla was most definitely the hardest part of the leather whip only challenge! You do so little damage with the leather whip that you have to be doing consistent damage and hope she doesn't use the healing move too often since it heals more than you can damage her. That video is here if anyone is interested...(Carmilla fight is at 40:20).

Thanks for watching!
Very polished, one thing should be fixed I can see is the wall candles shouldn't appear on the outdoor areas. They are even floating in empty space on some forest areas.
Yeah you're right. I suppose it doesn't make much sense in some cases. The developer is actually working on polishing up this game and Castlevania Chronicles 3 right now so perhaps this is something he'll address. Thanks for watching!
I think I might be missing something by the time I get to the Trevor fight. I'm at 550 HP, even after getting he HP max UP, and I'm taking 50 damage from hits rather than 15. This fight is a real bitch, but it's a pretty enjoyable wall to bang my head against : )
Wow that's odd. I even sent the developer a message to see if there was anything in the game that causes the damage you take to vary, and he said there wasn't. Perhaps you stumbled across a bug. Are you on the latest version? (1.2 as of this video, but there's supposed to be a newer patch in the works right now) I think there were some issues in previous versions with the HP max up item either not working or not saving as well. For the fight itself, one of the most important things to do is to take advantage of when the enemy is flashing after they get hit. When they're flashing, you can't hurt them but they also can't hurt you so that's the time to slide right on through them so you don't get cornered. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Needs alot of polish but i enjoyed it
So i forgot to grab the axe. Is there no way to go back into a mansion after beating it???
Unfortunately the mansions are sealed forever after beating them so any subweapon that might be in there can't be retrieved after the doors are barred. Kind of frustrating but at least it isn't required to beat the game. Thanks for watching!
That walking animation looks veeery familiar.
He certainly has that Belmont way of walking. I'm actually not sure but I want to say that the sprite and walking animations were created by the developer of the game and were not taken from an existing game but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately the walk is identical to that of Richter Belmont @@subledger.
@@Vanitas83 Ah I see! I've learned so much about the Castlevania series just from the comments on my Castlevania videos. You all are awesome 🙂
@@subledger. But you're welcome, of course. 🙂
1:23:00 idk where the extra 50hp came from but this fight is punishing. First 1/2 boss health bar is Trevor literally walking into my whip, jump, he flips, walks into my whip, repeat. Then Sypha and Grant appear and it seems like Trevor's annoying whip attacks randomly hit me.
Check out 46:50 to see where the extra HP can be acquired. Every bit helps! I think one of the most important things about this fight is that once you hit the enemy and it starts flashing, not only is it unable to take damage but it also can't hurt you so that's the time to slide through them so you don't get cornered. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Why are there candles burning in the wilderness?
I don't know, I didn't really like the rock they put on the soundtrack, I think it doesn't fit with Castlevania... Castlevania isn't Devil May Cry.
castlevania and rock ambience just does not match, the perfect match its like lament of innocence or wathever other game like order of eclessia and others, yes, there are rocks songs but only for some special bosses, in other words, the ambience needed to be like a classical old times or some time of electro, for me, rock just does not match, salute
Mfw rondo of blood.

When I first saw this, it looked to me like Dracula had a big red clown nose. I can't really see it any other way now. Thanks for watching!
Is there more than one upgrade for the armor ??? Just wondering because I’m about to fight carmilla
Dracula's rib (the shield) is all you'll get as far as defense is concerned but it does work against Carmilla's smaller projectiles. Some of that fight is luck-based since the amount of times she regenerates her health is random but fortunately there's a save point right before. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@subledger. I’ve noticed the health regeneration and I guess it’s just a chainmail armor
Make a part 3 bro. All I have to say is konami owes you money man
It's an awesome game but I can't take any credit for it. The developer is WarMachine Studios ("BMC WarMachine" on UA-cam). Speaking of a part 3 though...it's on the way! He has a public Discord server where you can get all the latest news and download the game once it's released.
Part 3 has been released! Here's a link to the developer's UA-cam launch trailer which has a link to the Discord server and a direct link to the game in the description.

If anyone wants to take a look at the game first or needs any strategies, I have a full playthrough here:

My discord channel is not working im a new member I want this download for this version though
The current version is 1.2 and if you can't use Discord then BMC WarMachine has a download link in the description of his UA-cam video that can be found here:

Did You Had Issues With Crossing The Dead River, Like, Being Locked Out?
Hmm...So you have Dracula's Heart and have made it past the Belasco Marsh, and now you're at the ferryman that guides you across the Dead River right? I don't remember having any major issues here but I did run into a minor glitch around 43:50 where after crossing the Dead River it starts you in the church of the next town instead of at the beginning of the town. Are you playing on version 1.2 (the latest version as of now)? Also, what exactly do you mean by getting locked out, and which path were you taking? For example, were you heading to the town of Alba, Brahms Mansion, or Belasco Marsh?
@@subledger. Now I'm Playing V1.2. Maybe I Should Get Rid Of All Old Settings.
@@ZatohRondohoon3227 I think if you upgraded to version 1.2 in the middle of the game then you should still be able to use your same save file and shouldn't have to start a new game. So is it crashing the game or is it not letting you into the next area?
@@subledger. Actually, Yes. I Did Get Past The Trio Battle, And Tried The Flame Whip On The Denis Marsh. But I Am Blocked, And Can't Access The Final Dungeon.
@@subledger. Also, I Did Upgrade My Game In-between, So, Yeah.
how ps5 got selling
Not bad 😊 I dig it.
Glad you like it. I had a lot of fun with this game. The same developer also released Castlevania Chronicles 3: Dracula's Curse recently. Here's an idea of how it looks if anyone is interested:

Keep up the good work you are very talented my friend.
@@nightshadebrown7593 I appreciate it. That means a lot.
