thank god for this speedrun doubling as a guide, got stuck for 5 hours running around in circles like a chicken running with its head cut off after obtaining the wall smash ability, i just could not find shadow, thanks alot man navigating this game is just too much
42:59 well said. I don't like the any% runs for this game (and most other cv games really), they are a mess and not fun to watch. I love no out of bounds and glitchless though.
Excellent run of a really underrated game. Good commentary too while executing some pretty tricky moves. HoD has some rough edges, but really I think it is an excellent game. Even my first playthrough was sub 6 hours (200%) with a LOT of wandering about. Maxim mode was fun to figure out, as a gamemode he was probably even more fun than Julius in AoS.
So, I've played this game countless times, but it's always been one of the entries I haven't been AS big of a fan of. That being said, I would have given it a slightly higher grade on my review had I known about that quick swap with the elemental books, because that's pretty huge tech that the game just... Doesn't tell you? Absolutely wild haha.
Hi there! Awesome run, I spent a really good time I've been searching for a HoD no OoB speedrun for a while now, and there you are: excellent work But the true reason I comment is what you said at 42:59. It has really made my day, as I feel exactly the same So for all of that, thank you so much for existing sir!
Playin through this first time on a retroid. Like it a lot, always loved SOTN. Knew this would be a satisfying speedrun game. Even better as "intended".
Do they really not tell you that? I remember doing that on the game boy adanced SP and I had no guides for this game (which made finding out what I was doing as a kid a different kind of hell) maybe pressing buttons like crazy yielded results, I mean it gave me the Maxim martial arts or whatever Edit: by that I mean the book swapping thing
Hey just wondering, could someone explain to how to do that dash momentum trick at the wall to get the platinum tip??? PLEASE... lol I'm going out of my mind trying to figure out how to do it. Also... does your luck or level have to be at a certain point to get the noon star to drop from the specter??? Or maybe you gotta be far enough in the game? I dunno, but i been grinding the 2 specters in the clock tower for over an hour and it only RARELY drops the sapphire.... Any help is much appreciated! EDIT: I FINALLY GOT THAT FUCKER TO DROP THE NOON STAR!!! it took over 2 hours!!! UGH! still trying to figure out that momentum jump to get the early platinum tip.. Someone please help lol
If you briefly tap forwards, then dash backwards off of a ledge, you get significantly more midair momentum from the dash. You can use this in combination with the ability to jump just after dashing off of a ledge to jump up to get the Platinum Tip with good timing. If you perform this trick but whip instead of jumping, then Juste keeps the momentum for the whole animation and gets sent flying very far very fast--this is called a whip launch, and is used in all sorts of Juste categories! Just be careful *where* you do it, because sometimes it can send you out of bounds, haha... Hopefully this comment helps, best of luck with your runs!
Such a good speedrun! Thank you! I just beat this for the first time yesterday, with 100% of the map, and I didn’t really use magic. What are those blue orbs that you conjure? And how do you? thank you!
ahh...HoD, the most confusing and some say the worst castle design among all of Castlevania games. But I always love playing it, second best to Aria of Sorrow. There's something addictive about this game that keeps me coming back...
There's a couple cool tracks, but otherwise I agree.. kind of a bland game... symphony and aria are better... circle and harmony I find very stiff in maneuvering and such
yay a speedrunner tells me that preffering glitchless runs is okay :D
rawest part of the run tbh is watching a man do the skeleton cave A block puzzles in a speedrun.

23:50 them damage stack sounds are _therapeutic_
what a beautiful fight
27:58 another beautiful fight
41:09 bro, death's sprite was _flickering_ from all the damage numbers lmao
42:59 well said. I don't like the any% runs for this game (and most other cv games really), they are a mess and not fun to watch. I love no out of bounds and glitchless though.
aaand just finished. insane run!
I think sub 50 is a good milestone for this category.
Maxim and Juste in that pic always looked like they were gonna either fight or smooch.
maybe both
"Boys will be boys"
17:15 marking this tip here for the players.
Helpful
Wish I saw this two days ago before beating it yesterday. Damn lol
This blows my mind, holy crap
Chat can’t say you never did anything for them, love the intended skeleton skull visit

That stack on Dracula 2 was so juicy. Very satisfying

still trying to figure out that momentum jump to get the early platinum tip..
Someone please help lol
Here’s a way that worked for me.
As soon as you have the double jump relic and the ice fist, you can use it to get the platinum tip early.

This trick is an easier way to try out

The way -God- Konami intended
Can't wait for SotN Intended%
I understand dance hall(by getting into garden early)...
BUT HOW DO YOU SKIP GARDEN ALTOGETHER???
Such a good speedrun! Thank you! I just beat this for the first time yesterday, with 100% of the map, and I didn’t really use magic. What are those blue orbs that you conjure? And how do you? thank you!
Thanks! That's the Lightning Tome + Book combo, aka the Gradius shield.
I swear you sound like a Sgt. Yates from South Park lol.
I'm that player that skipped Dance Hall and Garden by jumping around, LOL
Glitchless runs are very rewarding.
It's not glitchless per se that I prefer. I prefer a kind of casual glitch %
No out of bounds is close.
im very curious what a stackless run would look like
Very painful...
god I love this game
Good video 👍
ahh...HoD, the most confusing and some say the worst castle design among all of Castlevania games. But I always love playing it, second best to Aria of Sorrow. There's something addictive about this game that keeps me coming back...
I hate the music in this game and the colors
There's a couple cool tracks, but otherwise I agree.. kind of a bland game... symphony and aria are better... circle and harmony I find very stiff in maneuvering and such
God bless you
Todo iba bien hasta que hablaste
