Oldschoolgamer said:Qft. That sealed caused me to die once. I wasn't really leveled high, and, since at that point i didn't give a damn about souls(my first run), I was playing with the best of my abilities. I managed to get him down to the seal part, and, messed it up with a stray line. He came back and hit me with the Skull attack and I game overed -_-..

How am I supposed to open that door at the bottom of the tower in Julius Mode in DoS? It's the door,which Julius opens when struggling for the 3rd ending.

Yeah, I didRanger X said:Because trolling means "having a different opinion than yours"... *rolleyes*
On another note,
Did you read what i think about difficulty?
Ranger X said:Levelling up isn't challenge. It's just [hassle]. If you take your time, kills lots of ennemies while exploring, get the souls and such [this IS powerleveling, just without the intent bein on gaining exp, btw], you should NEVER need to level up.
Difficulty should lies in boss paterns, how you use your abilities, different ennemi attack, tougher plaforming, etc. [in a sense, and I'm not saying this just to get a rile out of you, you are describing what I enjoy most about CotM. You can beat any boss in that game (and other Metroidvania games, don't get me wrong) without powerleveling (or soul hunting, which is essentially the exact same thing)] Circle of the Moon needed unnecessary levelling.
What the ****, mate? The music in CotM is the best of all the portablesRanger X said:I suppose it's because i didn't give an effort maybe. When i don't really like a game i may suck at it.
Sadly, the graphics, music and controls didn't meet my "standards" (lol) in COTM
You're obviously lying, if you put up with the controls in the pre-SotN Castlevanias then you must not have any standards for controls. The main reason that those games (especially the NES ones) were challenging was because the controls were so poor. I disliked CotM's controls at first too but they grew on me very quickly, and the music and graphics were excellent (unless you were playing on a non-backlit GBA), so I'm not sure what your problem with them is.Ranger X said:Sadly, the graphics, music and controls didn't meet my "standards" (lol) in COTM
Haleon said:You'll do fine if you actually kill enemies as you encounter them. Don't go out of your way to level grind, but don't skip enemies, and you'll find that you level accordingly.
Also with Dawn of Sorrow, look VERY closely at that map screen. I was stuck for about two hours swearing that I must have missed some vital soul somewhere only to realize there was actually a section that I had not yet explored.

Error2k4 said:that pic gives me motivation to try a low level run in julius mode.
and yeah that's level 28 alright. I beat julius mode at level 44 iirc
Koomaster said:I must be a total n00b since I had no clue you could level up in the Castlevania games. I just popped in my copy of DoS and sure enough, I'm at level 71. Have no idea what level I beat the game at tho, but certainly never had to (or thought of) level grinding.
The only thing I "leveled up" was my weapons. But always good to have this info, I will be sure to use it with PoR! :lol

DarthWoo said:Is there any other way to get the Soul Eater Ring other than buying it in Hammer's Shop? I found the Gold Ring, so accumulating the cash is no problem, but just wonder if it'll show up anywhere else. Also, does the Soul Eater actually make souls appear noticeably more frequently?
And don't forget Joyeuse (gold sword), which ups your Luck stat by 5 points as well. Of if you really want, set Flying Humanoid soul as your Guardian soul and hold down the trigger for that until your luck maxes out, though it'll completely drain your mp.Oldschoolgamer said:Once you get it...
Soul Eater Ring, 777 shirt, and Ghost Dancer lvl 9 (i think). To answer your question. Yes it does.
Old post I know but which boss did you start with first?Oldschoolgamer said:OMFG...
I keep dieing at Death because of stupid shit. The fight isn't even that bad, its just that I keep making dumbass mistakes. Shit like touching a piece of his cloth, or sliding into his psythe pull on his second form, is getting me Gameovers. All the other crap, i can manage to dodge, but little ass mistakes is getting me killed. I would have had him like four times now...~_~
Oh yea...right now I'm at death at Lvl 23. Skipped Paranoia and killed the other bosses.

Whenever I start up Julius mode, I go straight to Dario first. Nothing like beating him at level1 (your level jumps to 8 or 9 from just killing him).
Second thing I do is pick up Alucard and then never change from him again, it's funner that way.
The real challenge IMO was trying to get from the first Abyss save point to the save point just before you fight Abaddon. So many things just keep getting thrown at you. And the rippers, which seem like useless annoyances in another other scenerio, can easily kill you.
