Lemon plays Castlevania: Symphony of the Night : Part 13

With all that shit I've been caught up on; it would seem like forever since I played this game.

This song is an interesting case. This is the song that plays for almost every area in the Inverted Castle, although Lost Painting will be a one which likes to play as well. Lost Painting though still suited the areas and sounded awesome like the rest of the soundtrack. The Final Toccata has potential but plays way too much for its own good. Thank goodness this is screenshot based; meaning it won't annoy you.

A Save Point is here, just like where it was in the regular castle. Sword Familiar is pointing to a boss room. I'll save the boss until I can get weapons which induce sadistic pleasure.

This part is going to get annoying. Bitterflys bitterly come out of nowhere and cause bitter damage to your bitter self. And there are those spike traps below me which cause a ton of damage to you.

46 HP doesn't look like much but you should definitely watch your step.

This would be handy if you didn't watch your step.

These will also become annoying because of they take forever to kill.

You've got to be kidding by this point of the game.

It seems like just yesterday since I discovered these hidden points in the regular castle. Which is why I said it was forever since I made a part of this.

This sword can be handy because of the Slash Flurry you can do with it.

This is going to be an awkward time breaking this.

Come on game; you know magic is king here so stop going me stuff which increases my chances at sub-weapons. Then again they probably wanted to be stingy with the magic so we couldn't milk it.

I'm pretty sure we battled the thing as a boss.

Great, the enemy can duplicate itself and give me bad Exp at this point of game.

What drama queens.

At least the Exp they give out is decent.

Something to put in the collection of items that I'm too lazy to use.

Someone must've already broken in.

New shield, new Shield Rod combo.

This one will give us immunity to darkness. This could be handy for bosses like Death and Dracula.

Was that sword trying to tear my cloak off?

33 HP was lost to get a silly jewel. Too bad I won't need much money in this game.

I have a few more errands above the castle I wanted to do first.

Backtracking up that part is going to be a pain in the arse because Imps would like to multiply, break your fall and ruin your fun. Expect what should be a 1 minute bounce with the Gravity Boots into a 5 minute trudge.

Yup, the even the epic Dracula's Castle has been replaced with The Final Toccata.

They're doing it again!

The Inverted Castle's specialty is doing it again as well.

I was too slow when taking the image but Nova Skeletons are nasty pieces of work. Sure they go down in one hit but they have this long-ranged beam attack which will cut over 100 HP. If you get knocked back into something like a spike trap or a Blue Venus Weed and you'll see your HP cut to 0 and Alucard give scream of despair.
Tier Score: Whoops, wrong game.

Little did we know that in 2 years' time there would be a game on the same system which required 14 of these.

This Warp Point shall be handy if I wanted to make a beeline.

Wouldn't it be cool if we battled Death at these parts?

Still no sign of a Magic Max Up.

Shame Dracula's Castle isn't playing. Meaning I can't feel like a badass when going through these corridors.

Don't let the name fool you; these enemies actually suck.

Now we've cleared this tunnel; I think we know the drill.

Perfect symmetry would be what one would say.

I wonder when it would be time to use this. *Laugh track*

Lost Painting allows for a nice break from the monotonous Final Toccata. Then again, I'm sounding like a broken record so I'll shut up.

Why do I think that this was a failed combination between a chicken and an octopus?

This is probably the last official use of Soul Steal. You'll be missed for making boss fights shorter.

Once you learn this trick with the wolf; getting map completion will be potatoes.

We'll explore the rest of these parts later.

Here we are, the Alucard Shield. The thing that I wanted to get to in the first place here. Combine it with the Shield Rod and you get the most broken thing in the game, and possibly an adventure game. This would be on-par with RBY Mewtwo, Gau, Mega Rayquaza, Super Tails, Fox, and Meta Knight in terms of how they are. Expect me to use this combo often.

You've seen this correctly. Once that ring of shields comes; you'll be invincible and enemies will receive 30 hits per second and you'll be healed to great amounts of health. And yes, this includes the final Dracula who'll whimper at the sight of this combo. The price is losing MP when you hit an enemy, and MP can reload when you walk. That's balanced.

This won't be cheap in Master Librarian's perspective.

This could be handy for a particular boss which likes to spam electricity. If you decided to keep the game as Symphony of the Night rather than Spamming of the Combo.

Aw, how cute. Enemies want to provide a challenge against me.

Even poor old Nova Skeletons and Blue Venus Weeds can't pose a challenge. And those were the strongest enemies in the bestiary.

At least the experience is nice and juicy.

Oh look, I have just enough Manna Prism in case the MP problems get serious with spamming the combo. This game really does have no hope left.

Has anyone made a Fire boomerang of pettiness joke before?

Yay! I'm a millionaire!

I feel like a kid who has an unlimited supply of ice cream. And yes, I feel so sick.

Sadly no, we can't just make a quick escape here and now just because we're outside.

Crosses are cool but sub-weapons are redundant now.

I think it's time to ham it up. *Laugh track whilst wearing a retarded face*

I would've been happy to see this considering how powerful and common Poison is in Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance. Sadly Poison sucks here.
