As someone who basically grew up on Castlevania (38 years old), I honestly loved the LoS saga. I agree/admit that they weren’t the best and that there were/are flaws here and there, but I still don’t care what anyone, let alone critics say. The whole story and atmosphere had me hooked and the realization that Gabriel becomes Dracula at the end of LoS 1 just blew my mind. Plus, the music for all 3 games was nothing short of incredible. I really wish they released the soundtracks... Anyway, not since Symphony of the Night have I had such fun playing Castlevania games.
THe series is not bad, the Gaming Publisher cut corners when they could have made the game proper. that's why there is down side because Gaming industry half bakes games instead of properly fleshout games
I love how Laura can't convince him to drink the last of her blood to save himself, so turns to his compassionate side and pleased for him to release her
netflix should make a series of this. Even he is a vampire, Gabriel is still loved by God according to the game's lore thats whey he is unaffected by holy items such as the cross.
It's fascinating about how gabriel became dracul at the end of the game. It took me nearly a month and a half to kill the forgotten one. Every time when it came to the 3 sticks I would miss every time, took me nearly 40 to 60 tries to finally get hit him with all 3 sticks, but after that it did not take much longer to FINALLY kill the forgotten one!! The forgotten one is one of the toughest boss battles I have ever went through, he made Satan look like child's play when I fought him! But poor gabriel, if I was a friend of Gabriel's I would have went to the castle with him, though would have stayed outside though til he came out. I don't care if he is a vampire I would be friends with him, he does not need to be alone in all this!!
dude i got mad so many times cause i couldn't hit the forgotten one! i was determined to at least kill him before christmas 2022 and i barely did it in time too!!!!!!😅@@andyhernandez4019
The first "Lords of Shadow" is one of the best games I've ever played. The story is incredible. I thinknif it was made into a movie it would be a massive cult classic.
a Breton Belmont always said that Gabriel Drac Belmont was the best version of Dracula of all times, now that the epic Castlevania animated series Dracula is also out now i have a big hard choice to make.. screw it i love both version nearly equally much love for this video friend a Breton Belmont has spoken
I like how he one shot a lovecraftian like monster trapped in a dimensional parralel universe or rift just because he can. I always wanted to see how he became a vamp. I guess it makes sense he literally defeated Satan mere minutes before. And also that man is so unimpressed by the "forgotten one" my boy vlad super power is literally depression. And finally the movie of doctor strange vs dormamuu literally happend right now.. lile: YOU DO NOT COMPREHEND WHAT STAND BEFORE YOU and vlad is like f*ck y*u I have depression
@@Theemptythroneistaken well he did save the world a few times but yeah his crimes are horrific but he was dealt a shitty hand from the get go. He was almost coerced into becoming a monster. He is a very tragic character.
@@Theemptythroneistaken He was actually never a villain, just misunderstood and wanted to live in seclusion. People treated him like a monster and wanted to kill him. His own son Trevor went to kill him too and neither he nor Gabriel knew they were father and son until Trevor was about to die. Gabriel frantically gave Trevor his blood to save him from death, but the consequence of that is he would turn into a vampire too (Alucard), and since Trevor "died" and never went back to his family, Simon grew up hating Dracula for "killing" his father and that entire series of events started the whole Belmont family being vampire hunters.
Why didn't they even continue this game? To me it was epic the 1st one he was a badass but the 2nd doesn't really tell you if you've recovered all his strength and power.
i feel that in the 2nd game gabriel/dracula regained some of his lost humanity while journeying to recover his lost powers through trevor/marie. i hated the ending of the game, satan was a pansy for hiding in alucard and making gabriel fight against his own son again. would have loved seeing what happened to them after they saved the world from satan/ zobek again. besides having a father and son relationship.
How did he just one strike a cosmic interdimensional being that the 3 lords of shadow had no chance of beating? I am confused on where that god like power just appeared from? And how did he teleport?
Basically the Forgotten one was getting powered up from some kind of magical artifact. On the last (and most powerful) wave Gabriel jumped in front of the energy and took the power all to himself. Giving him enough power to kill the forgotten one.
I'll explain from the beginning, as Gabriel was mortal he could not survive in the other dimension so Laura told him that he has to become a vampire, he bit Laura and went to the dimension as a vampire, killing her in the process (though he never wanted that). As he proceeds to confront The forgotten one he notices that he was again and again transferring most of his power to break the seals and with full power he could easily one shot Gabriel so he hid when the forgotten one was at full power and tried to fight when the power was busy. When the 3rd(last) seal was broken the forgotten one called his power to himself and Gabriel having realised he can't beat him jumped to take the power and merged with it. As he was already a vampire now he became Dracula (the forgotten one's power + vampire powers). I am sorry for such a long comment 😅 I just loved the plot. You should play the DLC man the forgotten one is no doubt one of the toughest bosses in history even with most of his powers elsewhere he was very very difficult to survive.
When u fight forgotten one u can only do dps to him after he opens the seals. Before he does that he is straight up invincible. When last seal was broken and his power started to come back to him gabriel had a choice. Let him go and burn the world or become the very thing that he sought to destroy.
If you consider gabriel had his human strength and powers alongside laura's vampire powers and he got a huge chunk of the forgotten one's powers it is easy to see how a weakened forgotten one who at that point was weaker than vampire gabriel and was injured was one shotted. The forgotten used so much of his powers to break the seal that he fell on his knees from the strain. And he was still a match for vamp gabriel imagine how strong gabriel became when he added the forgotten one's powers to his own.
Soooo wait none of the lords of shadows told Gabriel: hey man don't kill us because we're all that stands between it and the world dieing,this is a bad idea. Literally NOONE told this man the consequences of killing them except the little vampire girl AFTER everyone was dead . Wtf!? Like seriously?!
@@shoken4421 no he was sent by the brotherhood to kill the three since they had either ironically forgotten the forgotten one or never knew about him in the first place so to the brotherhood there were no negatives to sending him...that or they knew this whole time how everything was supposed to play out cause this game basically takes the debate of do we have free will or is everything predetermined in gods plan and basically leans on we're all just puppets on strings
this is WHERE i disagree; he had a choose rely on sihr or rely on the Divinity; he choose wrong & now pays for those deeds as dracula. Now again i say this because I am a Muslim. looking at this lore assuming our Earth lore isn't in this series. This is why as much as i love this series, my gripe with the show is the deficiencies of Catholicism as a good when it's just redressed polytheism...
Laura - "I'm sorry, you have no choice." Gabriel - "I know...I never did." I wish in future CastleVania games that they keep Gabriel as Dracula. Playing this game and going through his arc was one of the better origin stories I've experienced.

The LOS timeline is my favorite by far. Gabriel is my favorite Belmont. The story is absolutely phenomenal.
By FAR the most badass Simon too
I like the Netflix timeline
@@pillarsofsnow7940 the only Show Netflix did right
Gabriel chanting the smite over the paladin in LOS2 is still my favorite cutscene of all time.

Best re-imaging of the story
Not to mention that Robert Carlyle as Gabriel/Dracula and Patrick Stewart as Zobek/Death knocked it out the damn park.

Gabriel is one of the saddest heroes I've never seen in a videogame
He became the very same thing he vowed to destroy.
Agreed 😢
And far more worst !!
gabriel needs a hug after everything he's been through....and much more!
@@countrychic30let's give him one 🥺❤
two of the most underappreciated games that I only wish if more people played

He had to work to get here and becoming a damned creature of the night. Oh and this is Gabriel Belmont and not vlad.
They should bring this story on a live-action show. Gabriel Belmonts story is the best.
Na verdade tem ,um filme "drácula a história nunca contada"
please no im tired of hollywood ruining things
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq no its fine. Netflix adaption of Castlevania is already good. A reboot of Castlevania with LOS story will be great.
i will leave a like and subcribe because anyone who still plays this game, deserves one
Cheers 😁
I actually just beat it today. The day after Christmas. I love this game. It desperately needs a next-gen remake
Agreed my friend I absolutely loved the plot back then.
cant believe it. The most important plotline in the fucking game is a fucking slideshow on a DLC.
Facts
At least the art is amazing.
Lords of Shadows is truly what the Nolan Batman is to DC but in the castlevania series
They did a new age take on Dracula being some kind of a hero rather than an outright villain.
Very tragic. He saved the world from satan. And the only way to stop a new threat perhaps just as dangerous was to become a monster.
And in the end he became the villain.
@@Theemptythroneistaken but he redeemed himself eventually.
@johnwinchesterp2963 For me tbh he never can redeem himself he killed thousands upon thousands of innocent souls wether men women or children.
@@Theemptythroneistaken well he did save the world a few times but yeah his crimes are horrific but he was dealt a shitty hand from the get go. He was almost coerced into becoming a monster. He is a very tragic character.

There was a time when people said "must" such a simple word but so powerful and underutilized now due to freedoms of choice and responsibilities.
I really like Gabriel’s transformation into Dracula.
The fact that his origins as Dracula is locked behind a paid DLC was a scummy move by konami.
Yeah, that was really, I mean REALLY dumb. If I’m not wrong when I say that damn near false advertisement. Smh
Konami hasn't been a good company for a while. Not since they started making pachinko machines.
-Eu Sunt Dracul!
Gabriel Belmont
Broooo the literal translation its chilling 😮😮😮
Artstyle reminds me of hellboy especially the blank white eyes for vampires
1:04 he's kinda 🗿
This is really good thank you for uploading
Fuck....I wasn't expecting the feels man......
Such an Under rated set of games in the series. :)
The VA for the beast was having a great time.
Trevor The King 🤴 Best of Best in Castlevania forever❤
When he flies towards the soul it really gives me the goosebumps
so basically dracula is in actual a belmont wow
This game also defines the word "The hardest choices requires the stronger wills."
fucking love these two games
gabriel is the coolest
my boy cant have a break
The Pharting ☃️
It makes sense for a belmost to become dracula and all the other Belmonts try to stop him Belmonts fighting Belmonts los and los 2 were amazing games
Why didn't they even continue this game? To me it was epic the 1st one he was a badass but the 2nd doesn't really tell you if you've recovered all his strength and power.
Drac toasted a buffed Satan and a planet cracking worm.
Pretty sure he got his powers back.

@@johnwinchesterp2963then how did he lose to alucard and simon though ?
It woulda been cool if the lost one turned out to be Galamoth and thats how he got trapped in the castle lol
They need to make a movie/anime In sequence of L.O.S 1,revire and then L.O.S 2
This is a sequel for Castlevania: Lord Of Shadows
oh so dracula is not tepes? but belmont
Forgotten one sounds like Cornel
First LOS: great plot
Second LOS: better combat mechanic.
Is this MoF or LoS2? I just finished LoS1 and trying to decide to play mof or not
It's the dlc of Lords of shadows 1
Gabriel is such a B.A.M.F.
Loading epic shit :)
3 dislikes....
3 dislikes?
3 dislikes !!!
Not everyone loves Los
From the Lords of Shadow no doubt
@@devonmills1968 The Lords of Shadow helped remove UA-cam dislikes.
Well ain't this a spoiler and a half
who is older Gabriel or Leon Belmont
Castlevania multiple timelines is very complex to the new audience.
💚💚💚💜💚
What game?
I know I am on my own with this! the story, it's not making sense

Gay Bree El. This is the worst version of Dracula. People who like it have worse taste than a Belmont.
this is WHERE i disagree; he had a choose rely on sihr or rely on the Divinity; he choose wrong & now pays for those deeds as dracula. Now again i say this because I am a Muslim. looking at this lore assuming our Earth lore isn't in this series. This is why as much as i love this series, my gripe with the show is the deficiencies of Catholicism as a good when it's just redressed polytheism...
Laura - "I'm sorry, you have no choice."
Gabriel - "I know...I never did."
I wish in future CastleVania games that they keep Gabriel as Dracula. Playing this game and going through his arc was one of the better origin stories I've experienced.
