00:00:05
what's up everyone welcome to my second
00:00:08
Castlevania video about a year ago I
00:00:11
made a video where I beat the entirety
00:00:13
of Castlevania Arya of sorrow with only
00:00:15
the handgun and a lot of people
00:00:16
suggested I do the same with Dawn of
00:00:18
Sorrow it's sequel which I've thought
00:00:20
about but in my opinion the handgun in
00:00:22
Dawn isn't exactly challenge run
00:00:25
material if that makes any sense in Ari
00:00:27
of Sorrow the handgun was not only tied
00:00:29
with the bamboo sword for being the
00:00:30
weakest weapon in the game but it also
00:00:32
had a hidden effect where it cut your
00:00:33
strength in half when he quipped making
00:00:35
it even weaker than your bare hands when
00:00:37
he quit in Dawn it's not only
00:00:39
substantially more powerful but it no
00:00:41
longer has that strength having effect
00:00:43
so I wouldn't really consider it a
00:00:46
handicap to try to beat the game with it
00:00:47
I've been wanting to revisit Dawn of
00:00:49
Sorrow for a while because it is my
00:00:51
favorite Castlevania Game Ari of Sorrow
00:00:52
is my second favorite so what can I do
00:00:54
for Dawn of Sorrow well how about trying
00:00:57
to beat the game with no weapons at all
00:00:59
when you don't have anything equipped
00:01:00
Soma will just punch which technically
00:01:02
counts as a weapon according to the
00:01:04
game's code but without using cheats it
00:01:06
can only be equipped by having nothing
00:01:07
else equipped given the way many of the
00:01:09
bosses in the game are designed you
00:01:11
might say that this is borderline
00:01:12
masochism but it's been a while since
00:01:14
we've had a truly punishing Challenge
00:01:16
and the rules pretty much speak for
00:01:18
themselves no weapons can be equipped
00:01:20
and I cannot use Souls with damaging
00:01:22
effects except for when they're
00:01:23
necessary to access parts of the castle
00:01:25
which you will see later in the video oh
00:01:28
and I'm also going to be allowing the
00:01:29
use of the slide kick because I need to
00:01:31
make use of it to get around and it
00:01:33
doesn't even do that much damage anyway
00:01:35
so it won't really be effective against
00:01:37
bosses for purposes other than dodging
00:01:39
now that that's out of the way let's get
00:01:42
into the video
00:01:43
but first a word from our sponsor did
00:01:45
you know that two-thirds of men will
00:01:47
experience hair loss before the age of
00:01:48
35 I'm sure many of you have seen it and
00:01:51
you may be worried that this will happen
00:01:52
to you well I have the perfect solution
00:01:55
to ensure that you will keep your hair
00:01:57
throughout most of your life keeps
00:02:00
keeps is a hair loss prevention service
00:02:02
that is both affordable and convenient
00:02:04
with it you get hair loss prevention
00:02:06

00:02:08
work delivered straight to your door at

00:02:17

through keeps you can also get
00:02:24

00:02:26
all that hair you do get to keep stays
00:02:29

00:02:31
out keeps using the link Down Below in
00:02:33
the description that is keeps.com yearly
00:02:36
to get 50 off your first order and
00:02:38
seeing as how hair loss isn't reversible
00:02:40
once it starts I suggest doing it sooner
00:02:42
rather than later once again that is
00:02:45
keeps.com slash nearly I want to give a
00:02:48
big thank you to keeps for sponsoring
00:02:49
this video and now let's get back to the
00:02:52
video
00:02:54
foreign
00:02:58
[Music]
00:03:08
so the game starts off with a brief
00:03:10
recap of the last game which then cuts
00:03:12
to everyone's favorite supermodel Soma
00:03:14
Cruz and his girlfriend Mina who are on
00:03:16
a date and also look considerably more
00:03:19
anime than before yeah one of the
00:03:21
reasons people aren't too fond of Dawn
00:03:22
of Sorrow is because it replaced the
00:03:24
whole Gothic painting art style with
00:03:26
this generic anime style but I'll be
00:03:28
honest for Dawn of Sorrow I kind of
00:03:30
prefer it like this don't get me wrong I
00:03:32
don't think it's better than kojima's
00:03:34
art but Dawn of Sorrow does take itself
00:03:35
a lot less seriously than the other
00:03:37
games which is why I think the Friday
00:03:38
night Shonen an anime art style is a
00:03:41
little more fitting here but anyway Mina
00:03:43
randomly asked Soma if he has any of the
00:03:45
powers he gained from Dracula's castle
00:03:46
last year and immediately after she does
00:03:49
some woman suffering from RG roses named
00:03:51
Celia shows up and then summons a
00:03:53
skeleton Alucard then shows up throws
00:03:55
some a knife but Soma doesn't need it
00:03:57
and proceeds to beat the Skeleton along
00:03:59
with the spear Knight and even the
00:04:01
gollum with his bare hands which is a
00:04:03
little difficult but nothing I can't
00:04:05
handle Alucard Ward so not to get
00:04:07
involved which some happily ignores and
00:04:09
heads to the Colts Hideout which seems
00:04:11
to be a copy of Dracula's castle after
00:04:13
punching my way through the first area
00:04:14
we encounter Yoko and Julius from the
00:04:16
last game Julius runs ahead and Yoko
00:04:19
accompanies us up till the first boss
00:04:20
the flying armor now the flying armor
00:04:23
being the first boss is pretty easy he
00:04:26
just kind of floats around and has two
00:04:28
swords which he attacks with in very
00:04:30
slow and predictable motions the biggest
00:04:33
challenge with this boss and most of the
00:04:34
bosses going forward really is trying to
00:04:37
hit him without getting too close and
00:04:38
taking damage which does happen quite a
00:04:40
lot in the first attempt and I do go
00:04:42
down but I pretty much haven't figured
00:04:44
out in my second attempt just jump punch
00:04:46
and then immediately turn back I do this
00:04:49
until he's defeated where I have to
00:04:50
activate a magic seal where I have to
00:04:52
move the stylus or in my case the mouse
00:04:55
in a v-shaped motion yeah another reason
00:04:58
people don't like Dawn of Sorrow is
00:04:59
because in order to beat the bosses you
00:05:01
have to use magic seals on them if you
00:05:03
screw this up they'll get I think like a
00:05:05
quarter of their HP back but I'm not
00:05:07
entirely sure with this being one of the
00:05:09
first games on Nintendo's newest system
00:05:11
with its fancy new touch screen a lot of
00:05:13
companies felt the need to shoehorn in
00:05:14
mechanics like this just to get some use
00:05:16
out of it either way it's annoying and
00:05:18
for this reason I won't be able to use a
00:05:20
controller like I did in the last video
00:05:22
because I'll need to be able to grab the
00:05:23
mouse as fast as I can to draw the seal
00:05:25
that also means no turbo button although
00:05:28
the emulator I'm using does have an auto
00:05:30
fire functionality but I'm going to see
00:05:32
how far I can get before feeling the
00:05:34
need to use it but anyway I get the seal
00:05:36
on my first try and I am able to defeat
00:05:38
the boss after that I reach an area
00:05:40
where Yoko and Hammer set up shops
00:05:42
across from one another due to this
00:05:44
challenge I won't be able to use Yoko
00:05:45
services but Hammer will be my primary
00:05:47
source of healing items although I don't
00:05:50
need any right now a little further in
00:05:52
and I reach the Wizardry lab and the
00:05:54
enemies here are kind of a pain most of
00:05:57
them have attacks that are easy to dodge
00:05:59
but they're only taking one damage per
00:06:01
hit like the bomb armors and the slimes
00:06:03
and the ones that don't like the
00:06:04
Scorpion Lions the creatures and the
00:06:06
okay guys have more than enough HP to
00:06:09
make up for it well it's not long before
00:06:11
we meet Celia again along with her two
00:06:13
dark lord candidates Dimitri bleenov and
00:06:15
Dario Busey and not long after that we
00:06:18
have to fight the next boss Balor Balor
00:06:20
seems to have undergone quite a
00:06:22
transformation since the last game
00:06:23
rather than him standing in the
00:06:25
background and fighting with both his
00:06:26
hands he only uses one and now his whole
00:06:29
head is a target not just his eye other
00:06:31
than that this fight actually plays
00:06:33
quite similarly Balor has three Attacks
00:06:35
An uppercut some kind of double punch
00:06:37
and his ultimate laser of death oddly
00:06:40
enough the one you want him to use the
00:06:41
most is his laser attacks that's all you
00:06:43
have to do to avoid it is Crouch his
00:06:45
uppercut attack can be kind of
00:06:47
unpredictable but he doesn't go for this
00:06:48
too often his double punch is probably
00:06:51
his most favorite attack and it will
00:06:53
seem unpredictable at first but
00:06:54
eventually through trial and error you
00:06:56
will learn that he's about to go for it
00:06:58
when he pulls his face towards him and
00:06:59
you can easily Dodge it by crouching and
00:07:01
then jumping now as for dealing damage
00:07:04
you basically just jump and punch him in
00:07:06
the face you could stand on his fist but
00:07:07
I don't recommend doing this because you
00:07:09
won't be able to hit him my punches are
00:07:11
doing six damage each it may seem like
00:07:13
an insignificant amount but it gets the
00:07:15
job done and after a couple of attempts
00:07:17
three minutes and one magic seal I am
00:07:19
able to take him down
00:07:31
[Music]
00:07:34
my reward is the ability soul that
00:07:36
allows me to break ice blocks by
00:07:38
touching them I use it to move on to the
00:07:40
next area the gardening of Madness now
00:07:42
the enemies here don't really pose much
00:07:44
of a threat but there are these little
00:07:46
weeds growing out of the ground that I
00:07:47
can't actually hit with my fists even
00:07:49
when I'm crouching so all I can do for
00:07:51
now is just jump over them although this
00:07:53
isn't actually where I'm supposed to be
00:07:55
the next actual part of the castle is
00:07:57
the dark chapel and this is where things
00:07:59
are starting to get annoying as soon as
00:08:01
you enter you got to start dealing with
00:08:02
these Red Devils and witches that fly
00:08:04
around and shoot at you and because of
00:08:06
how they move hitting them is pretty
00:08:07
much impossible and then in the ballroom
00:08:09
you have these dancers flying around
00:08:11
everywhere and wavy patterns in these
00:08:13
angels to fly in and shoot arrows at you
00:08:15
what you're supposed to do is take them
00:08:17
out with ranged Souls like the axes but
00:08:19
that's just not possible for obvious
00:08:21
reasons so all I can really do is just
00:08:23
ignore them which isn't exactly easy to
00:08:25
do because their attacks are pretty
00:08:27
strong before I even reach the boss I die I
00:08:30
think like maybe three or four times and
00:08:31
once I do get to the boss Dimitri things
00:08:34
don't go well Dimitri may not sound so
00:08:37
tough on paper he only has two attacks a
00:08:39
knife attack which he rarely uses and
00:08:41
this magic ball attack kinda similar to
00:08:43
what Dracula uses it travels very slowly
00:08:46
but it's also very big and keep in mind
00:08:48
you don't have your double jump yet so
00:08:50
in order to dodge your timing has to be
00:08:52
perfect or else you're taking a hit the
00:08:54
worst part though is that your post hit
00:08:55
invincibility after being hit with one
00:08:57
of these is pretty much non-existent if
00:09:00
one of these things hits you you're
00:09:01
probably gonna take more than one hit
00:09:03
and if one hits you head on it can
00:09:05
easily hit four five sometimes six times
00:09:08
and to me it's doing 32 damage so that's
00:09:10
easily over half my help normally this
00:09:13
wouldn't be too big a deal because I
00:09:14
could just use range weapons but with
00:09:16
how little range my fists have it's
00:09:18
pretty much just punch him once then
00:09:20
back away and keep repeating until he's
00:09:21
dead well at least that's what I think
00:09:24
but after a few attempts I actually
00:09:26
figure out a better strategy and it
00:09:28
requires you to play very aggressively
00:09:30
you see when he uses his ball attack it
00:09:32
takes about a second to materialize and
00:09:34
do damage if you stand in just the right
00:09:37
spot in front of him he'll go for this
00:09:39
attack and as soon as he does you run
00:09:40
toward him jump over to the other side
00:09:42
and then start punching usually you can
00:09:45
get two sometimes three punches off by
00:09:47
doing this and if he steps or flies back
00:09:49
well it's easy to just follow him and
00:09:51
keep repeating this that being said he
00:09:54
probably will be able to sneak in a hit
00:09:55
or two every now and then especially
00:09:57
when he uses his knife but as long as
00:09:59
you have a good amount of potions and
00:10:00
patience you should be able to take him
00:10:02
down and because he's not a monster you
00:10:05
don't have to worry about using a magic
00:10:06
seal here
00:10:09
dude
00:10:10
[Applause]
00:10:12
[Music]
00:10:21
and almost immediately after I have to
00:10:23
fight another boss malthos and this boss
00:10:26
is pretty much a joke once you figure
00:10:28
out his attack pattern right off the bat
00:10:30
he'll be standing on the ground in the
00:10:31
middle of the Arena giving you plenty of
00:10:33
time to land a few punches then he'll
00:10:35
fly up and start attacking he has this
00:10:37
one attack where he launches a bunch of
00:10:39
birds at you which is pretty much
00:10:40
impossible to dodge if you get caught in
00:10:42
his range but as long as you're directly
00:10:44
under him it won't hit then there's this
00:10:46
attack where he launches some homing
00:10:48
balls of Darkness your way and all you
00:10:50
got to do here is run away and jump over
00:10:51
them and then there's this attack where
00:10:53
he'll launch feathers left and right
00:10:55
which again just stay under him and they
00:10:57
won't hit you between his attacks just
00:10:59
jump and punch every now and then he'll
00:11:01
just randomly decide to land on the
00:11:03
ground to I guess gather more birds and
00:11:06
this is a great opportunity to do some
00:11:08
damage when he does this just keep
00:11:10
punching him for as much damage as you
00:11:11
can deal use the seal and he will be
00:11:13
defeated
00:11:16
huh three
00:11:18
[Music]
00:11:22
and by reward for beating him is the
00:11:25
double jump ability which will not only
00:11:26
make future bosses easier but opens up
00:11:29
so much more of the castle up next I
00:11:31
have to go to the Garden of Madness
00:11:32
where I have to fight the other dark
00:11:34
lord candidate Dario now the fight
00:11:36
against Dario actually plays nothing
00:11:38
like the one against Dimitri he has
00:11:40
three attacks one where he'll summon
00:11:42
three pillars of fire kind of like
00:11:43
Dracula in some of the earlier games one
00:11:45
where he'll punch the ground and launch
00:11:47
a wave that's much easier to dodge now
00:11:49
that I have the double jump soul and one
00:11:51
where he'll wave his arm forward and
00:11:53
shoot a fireball at you what's kind of
00:11:54
funny about this moves that if you're
00:11:56
standing close enough to him his attack
00:11:57
will actually go right through you
00:11:59
because his arm goes through you and the
00:12:01
fireball launches behind you I don't
00:12:03
recommend doing this though because your
00:12:04
placement has to be Pixel Perfect and it
00:12:06
makes his other attacks nearly
00:12:08
impossible to dodge other than that
00:12:10
there's really not a lot to say he has a
00:12:12
whole lot of HP and my attacks aren't
00:12:14
doing as much to him as they were to
00:12:16
Dimitri his attacks are easier to dodge
00:12:18
but because of the way they work I don't
00:12:20
get as much time to hit him when he's
00:12:21
vulnerable it's pretty much just a
00:12:24
repeating cycle of weight for him to
00:12:25
attack land a few punches back away and
00:12:28
repeat it takes a total of about eight
00:12:30
minutes which is considerably longer
00:12:32
than the other bosses but eventually I
00:12:34
am able to take him down
00:12:36
[Music]
00:12:42
next I have to head on over to the demon
00:12:44
guest house and the enemies here aren't
00:12:46
too much of a problem ones like the
00:12:48
liliths and the karate Maids are pretty
00:12:49
easy to take out because they specialize
00:12:51
in close range attacks and are very
00:12:53
susceptible to my punches there's also
00:12:55
this slide puzzle room where I can
00:12:57
create my own Pathway to different parts
00:12:58
of the dungeon and at the end you have
00:13:00
to fight the Puppet Master now your
00:13:02
first time fighting this boss you'll
00:13:03
probably just be attacking him and then
00:13:05
you'll randomly pop out of an iron
00:13:06
maiden and get hit for like a third of
00:13:08
your health and then you'll be thinking
00:13:09
wait what just hit me until you figure
00:13:11
out that he attacks You by making these
00:13:13
mannequins that he puts into one of the
00:13:14
four iron maidens and that along with
00:13:17
the smaller dolls he spits out are his
00:13:18
only means of attack you have to destroy
00:13:21
the mannequins before he puts them into
00:13:22
the Iron Maidens which in this case
00:13:24
takes two punches sounds easy enough but
00:13:26
you have to remember you also have to
00:13:28
deal with these dolls flying around and
00:13:30
these things go down in three punches
00:13:32
but either way you don't really have
00:13:34
time to deal with these things as soon
00:13:35
as he starts his attack you just have to
00:13:37
start running toward whichever side of
00:13:38
the room he's doing it on and hope that
00:13:40
you don't run into too many of the dolls
00:13:41
on your way there the dolls deal 23
00:13:44
damage each time I bump into them which
00:13:45
may sound like a problem but it's a much
00:13:47
better alternative than taking a hit
00:13:49
from the Iron Maidens overall stopping
00:13:51
them isn't too much of a challenge it
00:13:53
takes me a couple of attempts but once I
00:13:55
figure out how to do it it isn't too
00:13:56
hard it's pretty much just endurance
00:13:58
round you basically just have to keep
00:14:00
knocking out the mannequins hitting the
00:14:01
main body and hoping you don't take too
00:14:03
much damage from the dolls the only
00:14:05
strategy is to just bring along as many
00:14:07
potions as you can afford I'm able to
00:14:09
beat him but when the magic seal comes
00:14:11
up I screw it up so I have to fight him
00:14:13
a little bit longer and this is where
00:14:15
the magic seal kinda starts to become a
00:14:17
problem because the further into the
00:14:19
game you get the more complicated the
00:14:20
magic seals get and the harder the
00:14:22
bosses get as well let's just hope this
00:14:25
doesn't become a common theme going
00:14:26
forward
00:14:27
foreign
00:14:34
[Music]
00:14:38
after this I get the Puppet Master Soul
00:14:40
which allows me to go into The Condemned
00:14:42
Tower and the next boss is one of the
00:14:44
most infamous bosses in the game gergoff
00:14:46
and let's just say it doesn't go well
00:14:49
I'll go into detail later but for now I
00:14:52
just do not have the resources I need to
00:14:54
stand a chance against this boss what I
00:14:56
need is to have a better means to
00:14:58
increase my attack and there are two
00:15:00
ways to do this that I have access to in
00:15:01
this point in the game the first is the
00:15:03
war fatigues armor which I get from the
00:15:05
demon Guest House the next thing is the
00:15:07
black belt which is a rare drop from the
00:15:09
werewolves and
00:15:10
yeah being a rare drop this is gonna
00:15:13
take a while the only werewolf at this
00:15:15
point in the game is a few floors down
00:15:17
in The Condemned Tower from where I
00:15:18
fight gergoff and taking out dozens of
00:15:20
them repeatedly is not easy though it is
00:15:23
made a little easier with the Auto fire
00:15:24
function enabled which at this point I
00:15:27
decide to do now just like in the last
00:15:29
game there is an item to increase the
00:15:31
drop rate the rare ring but I don't have
00:15:33
access to it at this point in the game
00:15:35
at least under normal circumstances I
00:15:37
actually didn't know this until now but
00:15:39
apparently if you have a cartridge for
00:15:41
Arya of sorrow in the GBA slot of your
00:15:43
DS you can actually begin the game with
00:15:45
a rare ring it's too late now but this
00:15:47
is another feature a lot of early DS
00:15:49
games had and honestly I think it's
00:15:51
pretty cool well just what I'm about
00:15:53
ready to give up I finally get a black
00:15:55
belt and after this there's only one
00:15:57
other thing left to do grind fortunately
00:16:00
The Condemned tower has the perfect
00:16:01
grinding spot right outside one of the
00:16:04
middle rooms there's a great ax armor
00:16:06
these guys are worth 300 experience a
00:16:08
piece and with Auto fire on are
00:16:10
extremely easy to take down see when
00:16:12
Soma punches some enemies their attacks
00:16:14
are interrupted for about a single frame
00:16:16
with Soma repeatedly punching them at
00:16:18
the highest possible frequency in most
00:16:20
cases he can take them down before they
00:16:22
can even attack and this is especially
00:16:24
true with the great ax armors I grind
00:16:26
until I'm level 28 and with that I think
00:16:29
I'm ready to take on the boss
00:16:31
now getting back into why this weird
00:16:34
Undead bipedal dinosaur is so difficult
00:16:36
for starters the arena this fight takes
00:16:39
place in is extremely small and this
00:16:41
thing is huge it takes up well over
00:16:43
two-thirds of the screen second its
00:16:46
attacks hit like a freight train
00:16:47
specifically his laser attack but this
00:16:49
is extremely easy to dodge the real
00:16:51
Challenge from this fight comes from its
00:16:53
size if you bump into pretty much any
00:16:55
part of his body you're taking a hit and
00:16:57
while most of his attacks are easy to
00:16:58
dodge his body isn't one of his attacks
00:17:01
has him use this weird vacuum effect
00:17:03
work he'll follow it up with a bite and
00:17:05
here you have two options either back
00:17:07
away or Crouch very close to his legs
00:17:10
doing so here without taking damage
00:17:12
requires you to be Pixel Perfect if you
00:17:14
try to take the safer route and back
00:17:16
away his attack will probably miss but
00:17:18
you'll probably later get hit just by
00:17:20
bumping into him while he's leaning
00:17:22
forward so pick your poison speaking of
00:17:24
poison his most potentially devastating
00:17:26
attack is where he'll either release a
00:17:28
toxic or petrifying cloud from his chest
00:17:30
once again in most cases this can easily
00:17:32
be dodged by just backing away and
00:17:34
punching the fumes away from you but if
00:17:37
he pins you into the corner and uses the
00:17:39
petrifying one you are dead your only
00:17:42
option is to jump up and use the Puppet
00:17:44
Master Soul to get to the other side
00:17:45
where you're probably going to take a
00:17:47
couple of hits but at least you'll still
00:17:49
be alive his last attack is one where he
00:17:51
just jumps at you the way you're
00:17:53
supposed to avoid this is by moving torn
00:17:55
and sliding under him but again if
00:17:57
you're too far away when he goes for
00:17:58
this you're getting crushed and taking
00:18:00
well over 100 damage as for dealing
00:18:02
damage well he's a pretty big Target so
00:18:05
it's easy to just jump and punch but
00:18:07
your best opportunities are when he uses
00:18:09
his laser and vacuum attacks if you
00:18:11
crouch next to his feet when he does
00:18:12
these attacks you'll be able to land
00:18:14
several punches and get some good damage
00:18:16
on him ideally 8 damage with each punch
00:18:19
which isn't great but it's better than
00:18:20
the five I was doing before I grind it
00:18:22
once you get him down to about half
00:18:24
Health he'll break the floor and send
00:18:25
both you and him plummeting to the
00:18:27
bottom of the tower while falling you
00:18:29
can deal some more damage but don't get
00:18:30
too great 3D because if you're close to
00:18:32
him when you hit the ground you'll be
00:18:34
taking more damage you'd think this part
00:18:35
would be much harder but this phase of
00:18:38
the boss is pretty much the same as the
00:18:39
first with the only difference being
00:18:41
that his laser attack comes out slightly
00:18:43
faster just keep doing what you were
00:18:44
doing before and eventually he will go
00:18:46
down and then pray to God that you get
00:18:49
the seal right on your first attempt
00:18:50
which I do and with that gurga is no
00:18:54
more
00:19:04
[Music]
00:19:11
victory
00:19:13
[Music]
00:19:15
up next we have the most frustratingly
00:19:17
annoying part of the entire game the
00:19:20
cursed Clock Tower I say it's
00:19:22
frustrating because not only are there
00:19:23
spikes everywhere but it's home to
00:19:25
Infamous enemies like the Medusa heads
00:19:27
and those tiny Devils flying around that
00:19:29
possess you the Medusa heads are at
00:19:31
least weak and easy to dodge those tiny
00:19:33
Devils those things are from Hell
00:19:35
hitting them with just your fist is
00:19:37
pretty much impossible you just have to
00:19:39
keep moving and hope that they don't hit
00:19:40
you which isn't exactly easy with all
00:19:42
the complicated platforming this section
00:19:44
requires you to do the boss at the end
00:19:46
though is an entirely different Beast
00:19:49
say hello to Zephyr the hardest boss of
00:19:52
the run so far not only does this thing
00:19:54
look like a rejected Spider-Man villain
00:19:56
but my attacks are back to only dealing
00:19:58
one damage and his attacks are much
00:20:00
harder to dodge most of his attacks
00:20:02
involve his claws and with how close I
00:20:04
have to get to hit him there's pretty
00:20:06
much no reliable way to predict these
00:20:08
attacks and get out of the way in time
00:20:10
this boss is just out of the question
00:20:12
right now so you know what that means
00:20:14
yeah more grinding I go back to The
00:20:17
Condemned Tower and just go back to
00:20:18
punching the armors and the groin until
00:20:20
I'm level 37 and once I'm done my
00:20:22
punches are doing three damage to Zafir
00:20:24
now Zafir has a wide variety of slashing
00:20:27
attacks but his signature moves are the
00:20:29
ones where he stops time when he's about
00:20:31
to go for one of these attacks he'll
00:20:33
laugh and if you hit him when he's doing
00:20:34
this he'll freeze time and slash at you
00:20:36
if you're in his attack range but you
00:20:38
don't hit him he'll instead jump over
00:20:40
you and launch some knives at you from
00:20:42
above I actually recommend letting him
00:20:44
do this because this attack is the
00:20:45
easiest to dodge and it's a good
00:20:47
opportunity to get a few hits in his
00:20:49
other attacks involve things like
00:20:50
hopping around throwing knives or just
00:20:52
charging and slashing at you normally
00:20:54
these attacks would be pretty easy to
00:20:55
dodge but again with my short range here
00:20:58
it's much harder I pretty much have to
00:21:00
just go in land three or four punches
00:21:02
and then back out before he can attack
00:21:03
and just keep repeating this until he's
00:21:05
dead although it does seem that you
00:21:07
could trick the AI into just constantly
00:21:09
using his knife throwing time-stopping
00:21:11
attack by standing in just the right
00:21:13
spot and that's what I do through most
00:21:14
of this fight this fight lasts about 10
00:21:16
minutes and it also cost me most of my
00:21:18
potions it also uses a new magic seal
00:21:21
but thankfully I get it on my first try
00:21:22
and I'm able to beat Zephyr
00:21:31
[Music]
00:21:40
and my reward is the time-stopping soul
00:21:43
which is debatably the best soul in the
00:21:45
game because with my newfound power to
00:21:46
stop time I can finally give those
00:21:48
stupid flying Devils the what for but
00:21:51
anyway this is one of those parts where
00:21:53
I spend like an hour wandering around
00:21:54
the castle like an idiot trying to
00:21:56
figure out what to do and then I
00:21:57
remember that there apparently is a boss
00:22:00
that I completely missed that boss being
00:22:01
Rahab now Rahab is kind of annoying
00:22:05
because you have to fight him in the
00:22:06
water and at this point I can't swim
00:22:08
underwater that's what his soul is for
00:22:10
you just have to swim around and wait
00:22:12
for him to pop up and hit him it's not
00:22:14
what I would call hard it's just
00:22:16
annoying you might have trouble
00:22:18
predicting where he's going to come up
00:22:20
but bubbles appear in the water above
00:22:21
where he is so just follow the bubbles
00:22:23
and when he comes up punch him his
00:22:25
attacks are very easy to dodge and as
00:22:27
long as you stay close to him most of
00:22:28
them won't hit you the only real threats
00:22:30
are getting hit by his fins but these
00:22:32
are also pretty easy to avoid my punches
00:22:35
are doing 17 damage each and he doesn't
00:22:37
have a lot of HP only about 1200 so it
00:22:40
only takes a couple minutes before I
00:22:41
bring him down
00:22:45
[Music]
00:22:57
[Music]
00:23:02
because of how over leveled I am pretty
00:23:04
much all the enemies in the Subterranean
00:23:06
hell are a joke I get to the silence
00:23:08
ruins where again the enemies aren't
00:23:10
very much of a problem but the boss the
00:23:12
giant bat or Bat Company as it's called
00:23:14
in this game is kind of a different
00:23:16
story and the main reason is because of
00:23:18
how biased the hitbox for this boss is
00:23:20
in this situation it's pretty much
00:23:22
impossible to land a hit without him
00:23:24
Landing one too this boss will also
00:23:26
change forms one to this thing that
00:23:28
shoots circles at you and another to
00:23:30
this hand that'll grab and Crush you if
00:23:31
it touches you it's best to just avoid
00:23:34
it when it's in these forms when it
00:23:35
turns into a bat that's your chance to
00:23:37
attack thankfully my attacks are still
00:23:39
doing solid damage and this boss doesn't
00:23:41
have a lot of HP it's basically just
00:23:44
another endurance round just attack and
00:23:46
heal up until it's dead
00:23:48
three
00:23:49
[Music]
00:24:00
and my reward is the soul that allows me
00:24:02
to turn into a bat allowing access to
00:24:04
pretty much any part of the castle
00:24:06
including the final area the Pinnacle
00:24:08
when I get here the first thing I see is
00:24:10
Yoko and I step over to say hi but then
00:24:12
she needs me in the face and that's how
00:24:14
I find out that she's actually a
00:24:15
succubus but anyway none of the enemies
00:24:17
here are really that much of a problem
00:24:19
and before long I reach the supposed
00:24:21
final boss chamber of course if there's
00:24:23
anything you should have learned from
00:24:24
Castlevania by now it's that it's never
00:24:26
that simple and in order to get the true
00:24:28
ending here we need the paranoia Soul
00:24:30
who is fought in the demon guest house
00:24:32
which you can only get by using very
00:24:34
specific souls to break the blocks in
00:24:35
the way those being the Killer Clown
00:24:37
Soul the ax armor soul and the uko Box
00:24:40
Soul now this guy likes to hide in the
00:24:42
mirror and when he does he'll shoot out
00:24:44
a laser which reflects off of three
00:24:45
other mirrors I recommend turning into a
00:24:48
bat when he does this so that you can
00:24:49
avoid the ground where you're at the
00:24:50
highest risk of getting hit and also
00:24:52
because of the fact that it makes you a
00:24:53
smaller Target once he's done this
00:24:55
enough you'll step out of the mirror and
00:24:56
attack you with a knife and from here
00:24:58
it's pretty much a joke his knife attack
00:25:00
is only doing 16 damage and it's another
00:25:02
one of those cases where every punch I
00:25:04
land slows him down a little bit the
00:25:06
game seems to want you to be careful and
00:25:08
try to avoid his knife but it's so
00:25:09
insignificant I recommend just taking
00:25:11
the hits and keep attacking if you do
00:25:13
this it won't take long before you move
00:25:15
on to a second phase and this is where
00:25:17
things start to get difficult
00:25:19
the tactics are pretty much the same
00:25:21
only the laser is now bigger and more
00:25:23
powerful and you really don't want to
00:25:24
get hit by this thing especially on the
00:25:25
ground because with how long it lasts it
00:25:27
can easily hit you two or three times he
00:25:29
also pops out of the mirror less
00:25:31
frequently when he does he hovers over
00:25:33
you and when he's about to step on you
00:25:34
you get out of the way and then attack
00:25:36
him while he's going down this is
00:25:38
another one of those fights that doesn't
00:25:39
beat you by running you out of Health
00:25:41
but by running you out of patience
00:25:42
because of how much health he has and
00:25:44
how small the window to attack him is
00:25:46
you are in for a really long fight my
00:25:49
final attempt took around 15 minutes
00:25:51
which for Castlevania standards is
00:25:53
ridiculous not to mention all the
00:25:55
potions I use I also screwed up a magic
00:25:57
seal which you know was fun but I was
00:26:00
able to take him out and collect his
00:26:01
soul
00:26:02
[Music]
00:26:08
sorry
00:26:09
[Music]
00:26:19
now you probably noticed some dead-end
00:26:21
mirror rooms when exploring well now you
00:26:24
can actually get some use out of them
00:26:25
they pretty much only have Treasures but
00:26:27
the treasures they do have are very good
00:26:29
the only ones I need are the Dracula's
00:26:31
tunic and the megging me making sure
00:26:35
both of which provide the best attack
00:26:37
boosters in the game and once I have
00:26:38
them it's time to face the true boss of
00:26:40
the Pinnacle Agony the monster that Is
00:26:43
possessing Dario and this boss is a
00:26:46
completely different beast from the ones
00:26:47
we've been fighting up until now he's
00:26:49
big he moves around really fast and his
00:26:52
attacks are very strong and there's no
00:26:54
reliable way to consistently deal damage
00:26:56
to him while using only my fists
00:26:59
yeah I'm gonna need to do a little more
00:27:01
prepping and you know what that means
00:27:02
more grinding and where do I do this
00:27:05
well the ax guy isn't really cutting it
00:27:08
anymore but there is another spot that's
00:27:10
great for grinding in the Pinnacle
00:27:11
there's this hallway that has a whole
00:27:13
bunch of succubi standing in a row the
00:27:15
succubi have a very short attack range
00:27:17
so all you do is just go down the line
00:27:19
and beat the crap out of them one by one
00:27:21
I do this until I'm level 50. there is
00:27:23
one other thing that I do and that is
00:27:25
get the dead Crusader Soul which reduces
00:27:27
all the damage I take I've pretty much
00:27:29
been exclusively using the Golem Soul
00:27:31
since that's the only soul in this game
00:27:33
that increases strength but unequipping
00:27:36
it doesn't actually seem to make any
00:27:38
difference in damage and I think having
00:27:40
a soul that increases my defense is
00:27:42
better anyway with all that I attempt
00:27:44
the Agni fight again now what makes this
00:27:46
fight so hard is that unlike most of the
00:27:48
other bosses where they've had good
00:27:49
Windows to hit them Agni doesn't he's
00:27:52
always floating around with his only
00:27:54
vulnerable spots being his hands and
00:27:56
with how fast he moves around jumping up
00:27:58
to hit him with without taking damage is
00:28:00
not easy now as for his attacks he has
00:28:03
one where he tries to swipe you with his
00:28:05
claws which you can easily avoid by just
00:28:07
sliding out of the way he has one where
00:28:08
he flies up and comes crashing back down
00:28:10
which releases waves of fire on both
00:28:12
sides and one where he'll stay in place
00:28:14
and launch waves of fire at you
00:28:16
repeatedly this is the best one because
00:28:18
it's the easiest to avoid and it gives
00:28:20
you the most time to deal damage but
00:28:21
again you have to jump up repeatedly so
00:28:24
you'll probably be able to land seven or
00:28:25
eight hits on him if you're lucky
00:28:27
otherwise you'll just have to keep
00:28:28
avoiding him because his other attacks
00:28:30
hardly leave you any room to counter
00:28:32
with anything although oddly enough his
00:28:34
worst attack isn't even really an attack
00:28:36
it's actually the one where he just
00:28:37
sways either left and right because
00:28:39
again bumping into him hurts you but
00:28:41
there's also not a good way to predict
00:28:43
when he's going to be doing this and
00:28:45
also if you're standing on the ground
00:28:46
that little thing under his belly will
00:28:49
scrape your head and also deal damage at
00:28:51
least I'm dealing okay damage with each
00:28:53
hit but that doesn't prevent this fight
00:28:55
from lasting a very long time again it
00:28:57
lasts about 15 minutes and and cost me
00:28:59
most of my potions but I am able to beat
00:29:02
him on my first attempt and thankfully I
00:29:05
get the magic seal my first time
00:29:11
[Music]
00:29:23
after that Dario just runs off then
00:29:26
Celia shows up and we have to follow her
00:29:28
to a now unlocked room in the garden of
00:29:30
Madness so we go and we see Mina who
00:29:33
Celia kills which obviously Soma isn't
00:29:35
too happy about now if you just go in
00:29:38
Soma will become the dark lord and
00:29:40
you'll get one of the Bad Endings but if
00:29:42
you equip mean as Talisman which you
00:29:44
should have gotten from Alucard earlier
00:29:45
Alucard stops him and then it's revealed
00:29:48
that Mina here is actually a fake and
00:29:50
Dimitri's soul went into Soma when he
00:29:52
died he reveals that he copied Soma's
00:29:54
powers and now intends to become the
00:29:56
dark lord himself so now we have to
00:29:58
follow him to the mind of judgment and
00:30:00
through here it's not long until we
00:30:02
reach the boss the infamous grim reaper
00:30:05
now if you've ever played Castlevania
00:30:07
generally the Grim Reaper is one of the
00:30:09
hardest bosses in the game he actually
00:30:11
wasn't too bad in Arya up but that might
00:30:13
be because you fight him pretty early on
00:30:15
here that is not the case and the first
00:30:17
couple of attempts do not go well again
00:30:20
it's another similar deal to the Agni
00:30:22
fight where he's always floating but
00:30:24
here at least this hitbox is a little
00:30:26
more forgiving but it's still annoying
00:30:28
to have to just keep jumping up to hit
00:30:30
him if only I had some way to stay
00:30:32
airborne and attacked well I actually do
00:30:35
the Medusa head Soul does just that so I
00:30:37
grind for one in the clock tower come
00:30:39
back and this makes a world of
00:30:41
differences now getting back to the boss
00:30:43
death may look intimidating after he
00:30:45
beats you in your first couple of
00:30:46
attempts but once you learn his attack
00:30:48
pattern it's actually not that bad for
00:30:50
his attacks he has one where he spends
00:30:52
his Scythe which turns into a bunch of
00:30:53
smaller sides that fly across the screen
00:30:55
and they can easily be blocked by just
00:30:57
attacking them he also has this one
00:30:59
attack where he'll create Holograms of
00:31:01
himself an attack which is very easy to
00:31:03
dodge and finally one where he'll swing
00:31:05
his Scythe over his head vertically then
00:31:07
horizontally this is actually the attack
00:31:10
you want the most because you can easily
00:31:11
avoid it by sliding being out of the way
00:31:13
and just crouching to avoid the second
00:31:15
one afterwards you could follow it up
00:31:16
with some punches it also seems like you
00:31:18
can trick him into doing this again by
00:31:20
standing in just the right spot just
00:31:22
don't let him pin you into a corner with
00:31:24
this because if that happens you won't
00:31:25
be able to dodge either way my punches
00:31:28
aren't doing a whole lot so this is
00:31:29
definitely going to be a long fight but
00:31:31
not too hard of one
00:31:33
at least that's what I thought until I
00:31:35
got to the second phase and this is
00:31:37
where things start to get really
00:31:38
difficult not only does death have a
00:31:40
smaller hitbox now but his attacks come
00:31:42
out much faster and are much harder to
00:31:44
dodge his most favorite attack is the
00:31:46
one where he throws his spinning Scythe
00:31:48
at you and if you're directly under him
00:31:50
which you probably will be if you're
00:31:52
trying to hit him there's pretty much
00:31:53
nothing you can do to avoid this attack
00:31:55
other than run in One Direction and hope
00:31:57
that his psycho's flying in a different
00:31:58
one and then jumping when it comes back
00:32:00
around to you the second one he
00:32:02
teleports next to you and pulls his
00:32:04
Scythe back obviously you don't want to
00:32:05
get hit with his Scythe but here you're
00:32:07
more likely to just bump into him than
00:32:08
you are to actually get hit with his
00:32:10
sight either way it's gonna hurt and
00:32:12
lastly and easily the worst attack is
00:32:14
the one where he'll try to bite you with
00:32:16
these giant skulls he does this by
00:32:18
shooting lasers out of his hands in both
00:32:19
directions and the first time you'll
00:32:21
probably be thinking huh I want to
00:32:22
reshooting lasers out of it oh my God I
00:32:25
just got bit for 160 damage basically
00:32:28
you have to be running in the opposite
00:32:29
direction to avoid their bites and then
00:32:31
right before the other one comes you run
00:32:33
in the opposite direction and your
00:32:35
timing has to be perfect if you're a
00:32:36
nanosecond too early you'll still take
00:32:38
the hit even if the biting animation has
00:32:40
already finished and if you're too late
00:32:42
well that much should be obvious this
00:32:44
attack is possible to dodge but don't
00:32:46
let it catch you off guard because if it
00:32:47
does it will really you up oh and
00:32:50
if you haven't done this already I
00:32:51
recommend pausing the game and
00:32:53
practicing the magic seal because not
00:32:54
only is the fifth magic seal the hardest
00:32:56
but the last thing you want to happen is
00:32:58
to have to fight more of these long late
00:33:00
game bosses this fight takes about 15
00:33:03
minutes but I do bring him down and
00:33:05
thankfully I get the magic seal to work
00:33:07
on my first attempt
00:33:10
three
00:33:12
[Music]
00:33:26
three
00:33:27
[Music]
00:33:30
and that is it for the Grim Reaper but
00:33:32
that's not gonna be the last we see of
00:33:34
him because you can't avoid death
00:33:35
whether it be Persona or Castlevania
00:33:37
either way you're gonna have to fight
00:33:39
the reaper now after I beat him I unlock
00:33:41
the last section of the game the abyss
00:33:43
and it's pretty straightforward the
00:33:45
enemies here are tough and most of them
00:33:47
aren't affected by the time stop so most
00:33:49
of them I just decide to run past there
00:33:52
is one more boss before the final one
00:33:54
that being abandoned who doesn't attack
00:33:56
you himself he just sends swarm of
00:33:58
locust after you and the direction they
00:34:00
come from and go to depends on how he
00:34:02
moves his baton seems simple enough but
00:34:04
these swarms are actually very hard to
00:34:06
dodge and are very likely to hit you
00:34:07
multiple times some of them I swear you
00:34:10
have no choice but to take a hit at
00:34:12
least this boss doesn't have high
00:34:13
defenses and has pretty low HP for a
00:34:15
late game Boss there's really not a lot
00:34:17
to say it's pretty much just kill or be
00:34:19
killed just get close to him and keep
00:34:21
punching until he's down and heal up
00:34:23
when you get low on HP although for
00:34:25
whatever reason this game does not seem
00:34:27
to want to accept my magic seal despite
00:34:29
the fact that it worked just fine on
00:34:30
death and I also got it right after
00:34:32
practicing multiple times in the menu
00:34:34
it just does not seem to want to accept
00:34:37
my inputs here and I really don't
00:34:38
understand it did I just get lucky with
00:34:41
the Grim Reaper who knows I mean I
00:34:43
eventually do get it but it makes a boss
00:34:45
that really should have only taken one
00:34:47
attempt instead take five thankfully
00:34:49
this is the last boss of the game that
00:34:51
requires the magic seal and the last
00:34:52
mandatory boss before the final one
00:34:55
[Music]
00:35:01
oh
00:35:03
[Music]
00:35:07
morning
00:35:08
[Music]
00:35:11
and almost immediately after that's
00:35:13
exactly what we have to fight Dimitri
00:35:15
the final boss or as the game calls it
00:35:17
just Menace now this boss is divided
00:35:20
into two stages the first one has you
00:35:22
trapped in this really small area and
00:35:24
you have to hit its head with the Medusa
00:35:26
head Soul this first phase is a complete
00:35:28
joke as long as you're hovering next to
00:35:30
the head and rapidly hitting him he
00:35:32
can't touch you with two out of his
00:35:33
three attacks you only have to worry
00:35:35
about the spikes that come from the top
00:35:36
but you can easily move out of the way
00:35:38
to avoid them after that go back to your
00:35:40
punching until you move to a second
00:35:42
phase and this is where the difficulty
00:35:44
gets cranked up well beyond 11. not only
00:35:47
is the Menace a hundred feet tall but
00:35:49
you have two very specific spots you
00:35:52
have to hit him at one on his left knee
00:35:54
and the other on his head the problem
00:35:56
here is that unlike the weak point in
00:35:58
the first phase neither of these have an
00:36:00
easy way of repeatedly hitting him when
00:36:02
you attack the head the skull around it
00:36:04
closes its mouth which not only prevents
00:36:06
you from hitting him for a short while
00:36:08
but it will also damage you if it
00:36:10
touches you the one on his knee you can
00:36:12
hit multiple times at once but when you
00:36:14
do his other leg also has a hitbox that
00:36:17
will more than likely hit you and even
00:36:18
if it doesn't if you're using the Medusa
00:36:20
headsult to score multiple hits you're
00:36:22
probably gonna land on his foot on the
00:36:24
way down but the worst thing about this
00:36:26
fight by far is these black Pac-Man that
00:36:28
fly around to deal damage they can chase
00:36:31
you anywhere in the area they move very
00:36:33
fast have a pretty good amount of HP and
00:36:36
there doesn't seem to be a limit on how
00:36:37
many of them can be on screen at once so
00:36:40
on top of having to chip away at the
00:36:42
boss with its very small hit Windows you
00:36:44
gotta Dodge these floating mouths that
00:36:46
just won't leave you alone they're like
00:36:48
flies at the dinner table you could try
00:36:50
to ignore them but they just won't leave
00:36:52
you alone they're gonna have to deal
00:36:54
with them at some point so that you can
00:36:55
move on with your day only here they're
00:36:57
infinitely respawning the best way to
00:37:00
deal with them is once enough or on
00:37:01
screen you go into a corner wait for
00:37:04
them to come to you and start punching
00:37:06
if you position yourself just right
00:37:08
they'll fly right into your punches and
00:37:10
won't be able to hit you most of the
00:37:12
time it's tedious but it's the only
00:37:14
reliable way to get rid of these things
00:37:16
but even this isn't enough to beat the
00:37:18
boss he and these things are just
00:37:20
dealing too much damage for me to be
00:37:21
able to beat this boss with the
00:37:23
resources I have so what do I do grind
00:37:25
all the way up to level 99 yeah that's
00:37:27
all I can do and it's exactly what I do
00:37:29
back to go beat the crap out of some
00:37:31
more poor succubi I almost feel bad for
00:37:34
them just punching them in their friends
00:37:35
to death for hours and by hours I mean a
00:37:38
few minutes because I used an action
00:37:39
replay code to speed up the process
00:37:40
because even I don't have the patience
00:37:42
for this there's one other thing I want
00:37:44
to get the tan jelly Soul which reduces
00:37:46
damage from physical attacks since
00:37:47
pretty much all the attacks I'm going to
00:37:49
be taking from the boss are physical I
00:37:51
figured this would be more helpful if it
00:37:53
does have a greater effect than the dead
00:37:54
Crusader Soul which it does considerably
00:37:57
with it the body is only doing around 50
00:37:59
damage but the mouths are still doing
00:38:01
over a hundred Meanwhile my punches are
00:38:03
doing 20 which is a little less than I
00:38:06
had hoped but I'll still take it since
00:38:08
it means with the 3000 damage these body
00:38:10
parts have I'll be finishing them off in
00:38:12
150 hits but this still just isn't
00:38:16
enough I know I've said that a lot of
00:38:18
these bosses are endurance tests but
00:38:20
this one is the ultimate endurance test
00:38:22
I am going to need every resource the
00:38:25
game will provide to me I'm already at
00:38:27
level 99 and have the best souls for
00:38:29
this fight that the challenge will allow
00:38:30
so the only thing left is to just stock
00:38:33
up on healing items the only ones I can
00:38:35
buy from Hammer shop are potions and
00:38:37
high potions which I already have nine
00:38:38
of but there are more than a random
00:38:41
drops from enemies the first three I
00:38:43
want are the rotten food items those
00:38:45
being the rotten meat the spoiled milk
00:38:47
and the rusty food tin normally these
00:38:50
items deal damage if you consume them
00:38:51
but if you have the goal Soul which I do
00:38:54
you gain that HP instead there are also
00:38:56
these three Delicacies as the game calls
00:38:59
them all of which fully restore your HP
00:39:01
which I get along with the super potion
00:39:03
I came across that does the same and
00:39:05
lastly there are the normal food items
00:39:07
that restore a good amount of HP at
00:39:09
least the ones that come from enemies
00:39:11
that I can easily really Farm them from
00:39:12
the beef Curry the tasty meat and the
00:39:15
rice ball I make sure to get as many as
00:39:17
I can and with that I think it's time to
00:39:19
attempt the boss again hopefully for the
00:39:21
last time as usual I blast my way
00:39:24
through the first phase and once the
00:39:26
second phase starts I decide to focus on
00:39:27
the knee and it goes about how I expect
00:39:30
it to with the help of the Medusa head
00:39:32
Soul I'm able to land more consistent
00:39:34
hits but like I said before this still
00:39:36
doesn't protect me from the hazards I
00:39:38
mentioned there's also the added risk
00:39:40
that you may get knocked toward its legs
00:39:42
which can easily lead to multiple hits
00:39:43
but thankfully with the tangeli soul
00:39:45
it's not doing anywhere near as much as
00:39:47
it's supposed to there's also the fact
00:39:49
that every few minutes I have to stop
00:39:50
and I'm doing to go to one of the
00:39:52
corners of the area and deal with the
00:39:53
mouths you want to know how much time it
00:39:56
takes me to take out the first part
00:39:57
about 20 minutes yeah I guess it
00:40:00
shouldn't be too surprising considering
00:40:02
how little damage I'm dealing but by
00:40:04
this time I'm already down quite a few
00:40:05
potions and considering what I said
00:40:07
about the head earlier the fun hasn't
00:40:08
even started after some trial and error
00:40:11
I am able to figure out a way to deal
00:40:13
some decent damage over time but it's
00:40:15
still nowhere near the rate I was able
00:40:16
to hit the leg which itself wasn't even
00:40:18
great basically what I do is when he's
00:40:21
close to the middle of the area I just
00:40:23
stand around the platforms punch him
00:40:25
wait for him to be vulnerable again and
00:40:27
punch him again but this only works so
00:40:29
well especially with you know the mouths
00:40:32
during the second part of the fight I
00:40:34
find myself having to stop what I'm
00:40:35
doing to deal with the mouths a lot more
00:40:37
often and it's just tedious it's really
00:40:40
starting to try my patience and that's
00:40:42
what this whole fight is like it's not a
00:40:44
test of skill it's a test of patience
00:40:46
especially when you hate yourself like
00:40:48
me and play video games with handicaps I
00:40:50
should also mention that when attacking
00:40:52
the head I'm more susceptible to the
00:40:53
menace's own attacks he has this one
00:40:55
uppercut punch and one where he'll try
00:40:57
to jab you both of these are pretty easy
00:40:59
to dodge and don't do a lot of damage
00:41:00
anyway but it can be frustrating when
00:41:02
you're trying to hit him and you have to
00:41:03
stop what you're doing to dodge one of
00:41:05
these attacks or he hits you and knocks
00:41:07
you all the way to the ground I also
00:41:08
start to get a bit worried if even after
00:41:10
all that farming I did if I'll even have
00:41:12
enough food it doesn't take me long to
00:41:14
burn through my super potion of my
00:41:16
Delicacies and the further in I go the
00:41:18
more I find myself getting hit by the
00:41:19
mouths because my patience is starting
00:41:21
to wane yeah I want to deal with them
00:41:23
but doing that sets me back a couple of
00:41:25
minutes and even when I'm doing that
00:41:27
there's nothing to prevent one from just
00:41:28
popping up from below and biting me in
00:41:30
the butt and that's what this whole
00:41:31
fight is about there are measures you
00:41:33
can take to reduce damage and or speed
00:41:35
things up but there are going to be
00:41:36
situations where you just can't avoid
00:41:38
taking damage in the footage you're
00:41:40
seeing a lot of the battle is going to
00:41:41
be cut out but this whole fight takes
00:41:44
nearly an hour from the moment it starts
00:41:46
to the moment it ends it is a long and
00:41:50
perilous fight but just when I least
00:41:52
expect it I am able to land the final
00:41:55
punch and take him out and thank the
00:41:58
Lord I don't have to activate a magic
00:42:00
