One thing Soma’s games were missing was interaction with Death. Death being Dracula’s friend you’d think there’d be an exchange of words with Dracula’s reincarnation.
Well, Death was never Dracula's "friend".it is just that he follows anyone who wields the Crimson Stone, and MAYBE Dracula lost it after 1999 battle and so Death doesn't give a crap about Dracula per se anymore... I dunno, just a theory.
@@theoneitself This theory is disproven in "Castlevania: Reminiscence of the divine abyss" in the part where Death enquires whether Soma wants to become its Master (Dracula)
I mean, not even just that. Death shows up in this game with literally no rhyme or reason just to fill the quota of him being a boss. The entire game is sorta meh with its story/lore-ratio anyhow. So much is ultimately up to imagination or is just not great.(Remember when Soma fell into darkness because Arikado just decided to not show up to tell him what's up? Yeah...)
@@lpfan4491 yah that whole subplot of Mina giving Soma this special talisman or something ended up being for nothing because it was just useless and didn't help Soma
@@theoneitselfprobably bc it wouldn't be that practical in those games at least imo, it might also be because this mechanic is already somewhat obscure as is (i personally didn't know about it till right now)
You can make it even more cool by having the medusa soul, in this game dive kicks have a damage depending on how much time you're in the air, so you stay suspended into the divekick animation when the bridge falls and you end up doing like a ridiculously high amount of damage
It's creepy how the Puppet Master periodically says "Doll" in Japanese. ... But not as creepy as it is hilarious to know that Celia's got that ojou-sama laugh.
WhiteFangofWhoa great for damage since it supports you while you're attacking but never use it to get mp back...costs too much and doesn't recover that much
The reason Dawn of Sorrow and Aria of Sorrow are some of the most liked Castlevania games, is that even though Soma is an anime boy with the "power of friendship" the real fun is collecting and trying out the Souls of the hundreds of Monsters you kill, it's so satisfying getting a Soul you've been farming like crazy for and not to mention just how diverse they are, summons monsters, transformations, destructive spells and just plain miscellaneous one's too like transforming into a bat made it so much easier to get around
@Proper Naughty I mean DoS is still great but not as great as OoE, SotN and PoR. Well, y'know what, it's basically impossible to rank these games accurately haha they're all masterpieces, that's it.
@@zapperil well the difference between Julius and Soma is, Julius doesnt have a soul dominance over all the enemies he destroyed. So he doesnt even need a Magic Seal. But on the other hand, Soma needs Magic Seal for his soul dominance
This is old, but it more terrifying if you check the fact that the torture chambers are all covered with blood, which means many people had already died in there
The first time i see puppet master i really freaked me out. Is one of the most horrible and nightmerish bosses in all the Castlevania series, along with Gergoth and Dragon Zombie (i don't know why find those scary) It's a complete nightmare for a pupaphobic (fear of puppets)
I remember the first time I saw Aguni in that mirror behind Dario and thought, "Wow that thing is terrifying...good thing I don't have to fight him!" then I got the bad ending and realized...."Uh oh.."
Really?! LoL i got the mirror soul just purely by accident and i figured that the demon in the mirror was the actual boss and Dario was unkillable lol I was completely wrong but got the good ending!
@@heyitsjael9696 no. You will just get the easiest ending to get, of course it is one where you leave the castle before you defeat the final boss, but don't worry though, you can always reload your save to fight it again and hopefully, you got the mirror soul that time and you can fight the true boss.
It's been a while since I've messed around in Nest of Evil, but I believe their boss fights got revamped slightly in Portrait of Ruin. I know for sure that they're present though
This is a CRIMINALLY underrated entry & plot point in the series....I wish they explored Soma's story more beyond this game. It also allowed us to get different main villains in the series besides predictable Dracula.
A fun thing you can do with Dmitrii in New Game+ is use the Cave Troll's soul on him. At max level it stretches across half the screen and has okay power, but he'll be stuck using it at level 1. Better yet, it extends from the centre of his hit box and has an even shorter range than his knife. tl;dr You can reduce Dmitrii, a 37 year old man, to making mildly rude gestures at you as an attack.
I loved seeing you no hit paranoia. He is BY FAR the hardest boss in the game to me. People are probably gonna say Abaddon, but the white dragon soul I think it is tears him apart
To all those complaining about the magic seals, don't start directly at the dot. The start of the line you will have to draw is delayed. Start beyond the starting dot then draw away.
Why is it I've been playing this game since 2011 and only now noticed that the evil sigil that appears at the start of these bossfights is Aguni's head?
Let's see, counting the bossfight seal feature, Soma's ability, various weapon, nice VA, and especially, the music kicks different every stage. Best of Castlevania series ever till now after the SotN.
There's some pretty close calls, especially toward the end. It's gotta be nerve wracking to get all the way to the end and come within a pixel of taking damage.
The second form of Bat Company is actually an homage to the Moai heads which are harder enemies, as well as grunt enemies, and even bosses, in the Gradius, Nemesis, Parodius, Otomedius, and Moai-Kun video games.
I know rIGHT? i just found out about this game...and so far HE'S my favorite boss, mostly because he's like Dio! The other portion is his battle theme...and his voice clips!!
Daniel Blaze In Castlevania: Aria of sorrows you can get the ability of Cagnazzo which is summon a ghost that continously puching and shouts "ora! ora! ora!"

I remember once fighting Gergoth and killing him against the wall as he shot the beam attack. It resulted in a screen sweeping attack when he dropped his head resulting in my death.

Amazing gameplay. I'm on the last boss, but damn, I didn't use that vacuum cleaner the whole game. I'm looking forward to finishing this and moving in to the next one.... Love my back catalogue
Clock Tower (Aria of Sorrow): A lot of hell to go through with those floating Medusa Heads, but rewarded with Death's soul, and a bit of soul gathering. Cursed Clock Tower (Dawn of Sorrow): Even more hell to go through with those gosh darn Medusa Heads, but worth it to get the Zephyr soul. Which will get me to the next area, but I guess 2 battles are better than one, so let's go fight Rahab! Later after beating Rahab... Soma Cruz: Alright. With a little bit of getting the correct soul in the Garden of Madness, I got to the next area unscathed. The luck stat is bugged, but eh, it won't kick in later. I had to get to Paranoia earlier than I thought, but... eh, it's not a big deal. A little bit of Doppelganger usage later... Soma Cruz: Dario, look. I don't wanna kill you right now, so, um... Got to switch to my second equipment first. (Enters Mirror without Dario bothering him) Finally, I'll need to switch back into my main equipment for now... There. Now, let's go beat Aguni. After beating Aguni... Soma Cruz: That was tense! I almost died to Aguni, but I was able to overcome the challenges! Time to get out of this difficult place!
Odd that I'm getting this video now in January of 2021, but it was a fun watch. I've never really played any Castlevania games outside of the original NES one, and one called Harmony of Despair that my friend left on there when he gave me his Xbox360. It was stupidly addicting. Kinda neat to see some bosses and characters I remembered from that game. I always enjoyed the Puppet Master's level, even if grinding him meant I drove my brother NUTS with "YOU TOO SHALL BE MY PUPPET!" constantly. I liked playing Charlotte because mages are fun. Soma was pretty fun too though I didn't use him as much as Char. Who knew the vacuum was so overpowered...
I tried playing this game on emulator, and boy did I regret it. Using the mouse for the DS touchpad even for the simplest magic seals were damn near impossible, and especially against the later bosses. I was stuck in some of those fights for an hour, or at least until they killed me
Garrett Sullivan the 23rd It used to be a friendly beast but due to imprisonment and deformation, it went insane. That is it's description in the American version of the game.
Garrett Sullivan the 23rd Like Zephr, the Puppet master was a guy who got the ability to manipulate something, but unlike Zephr's time stop ability, he instead controls puppets and can even swap others with set puppets. He's described as a "Cursed King" which brings up alot of theories about him.

I remember once fighting Gergoth and killing him against the wall as he shot the beam attack. It resulted in a screen sweeping attack when he dropped his head resulting in my death.
35:38 I didn’t know Menace was a Stephen King fan.
I knew those were familiar

Amazing gameplay. I'm on the last boss, but damn, I didn't use that vacuum cleaner the whole game.
I'm looking forward to finishing this and moving in to the next one....
Love my back catalogue
:)
I had this game when I was a kid... Wish I had it now.... 😔😨😰😓😢
Use a emulator
14:33 I knew there was something...missing during Zephyr's introduction.
Why is the main character riding a vacuum cleaner?
Kha'Zix cause he can!
@FinalHunter ?
Smoking HP from the enemy?
@FinalHunter It also sucks up projectiles.
Best soul in the game
31:53 I just realized the boss was a Locust Magician! :) Wherever he points the wand, the locust come flying.
J T Musician you might mean...
19:19 I NOW JUST REALISE THE KONAMI´S REFERENCE TO GRADIUS OMG
Ah, the moai interceptor cannon formation from the bat company, I realize it when I play it for the first time several years ago
Clock Tower (Aria of Sorrow): A lot of hell to go through with those floating Medusa Heads, but rewarded with Death's soul, and a bit of soul gathering.
Cursed Clock Tower (Dawn of Sorrow): Even more hell to go through with those gosh darn Medusa Heads, but worth it to get the Zephyr soul. Which will get me to the next area, but I guess 2 battles are better than one, so let's go fight Rahab!
Later after beating Rahab...
Soma Cruz: Alright. With a little bit of getting the correct soul in the Garden of Madness, I got to the next area unscathed. The luck stat is bugged, but eh, it won't kick in later. I had to get to Paranoia earlier than I thought, but... eh, it's not a big deal.
A little bit of Doppelganger usage later...
Soma Cruz: Dario, look. I don't wanna kill you right now, so, um... Got to switch to my second equipment first. (Enters Mirror without Dario bothering him) Finally, I'll need to switch back into my main equipment for now... There. Now, let's go beat Aguni.
After beating Aguni...
Soma Cruz: That was tense! I almost died to Aguni, but I was able to overcome the challenges! Time to get out of this difficult place!
Odd that I'm getting this video now in January of 2021, but it was a fun watch.
I've never really played any Castlevania games outside of the original NES one, and one called Harmony of Despair that my friend left on there when he gave me his Xbox360. It was stupidly addicting. Kinda neat to see some bosses and characters I remembered from that game. I always enjoyed the Puppet Master's level, even if grinding him meant I drove my brother NUTS with "YOU TOO SHALL BE MY PUPPET!" constantly. I liked playing Charlotte because mages are fun. Soma was pretty fun too though I didn't use him as much as Char. Who knew the vacuum was so overpowered...
"I NEED ONLY PLACE THIS PUPPET, RIIIGHT INSIDE HERE...."
I tried playing this game on emulator, and boy did I regret it. Using the mouse for the DS touchpad even for the simplest magic seals were damn near impossible, and especially against the later bosses. I was stuck in some of those fights for an hour, or at least until they killed me
i want to know corpsy the dinosaur's back story
Garrett Sullivan the 23rd It used to be a friendly beast but due to imprisonment and deformation, it went insane. That is it's description in the American version of the game.
Raime The Fume Knight thanks for telling me
Garrett Sullivan the 23rd What else do you want to know about?
Raime The Fume Knight puppet master's back story
Garrett Sullivan the 23rd Like Zephr, the Puppet master was a guy who got the ability to manipulate something, but unlike Zephr's time stop ability, he instead controls puppets and can even swap others with set puppets. He's described as a "Cursed King" which brings up alot of theories about him.
Sheesh!
That hothead laughs more than The Joker and The Green Goblin combined.
