Castlevania Nocturne small painting

For a friend birthday, one activity we do is painting. I've just finished a re-watch of Nocturne and decided I had to attempt my favourite shot from the season. I'm only an amateur, but I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially for such a small canvas (20x20cm)

Castlevania Nocturne Season 2 is worth the wait.

I'm pretty sure we are getting a season 3 as well, and season 2 ends with so many unanswered questions, and not to mention the finale. Had me on the edge of my seat lol.

Highlights -

Drolta backstory
Erzsebet backstory
1 main character gets a massive power up, could beat Season 1 Drolta without breaking a sweat
Tearful reunion
Certain main-person dying
Certain person gets charred to death
Two entities from the underworld

This season is packed with lot of intense and crazy feels.

Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll try to answer if I can.

Symphony of the night wolf jump stairs

So I thought I was super clever and used the wolf dash jump up a set of stairs to get to a ledge that's normally out of reach. This led to the lesser demon boss which I beat, but I realized I can't get back out of here without a double jump.

Reset seems the obvious solution but is there another way to get over high ledges when wolf is my only power and I have no double jump?

What am I not understanding about order of ecclesia?

Played the game as a kid and I was glad to get it again for the dominus collection. Now I've done just about everything except fight Dracula and the game has been great minus how often I had to spend stupid amounts of time grinding a single enemy for some single item, but I'm trying to complete the final villager quest to kill the vampire in "large cavern" but I can't make any progress here at all. I don't have any money for healing items and I only ever seem to get tiny amounts of money while any healing items of any quality will cost thousands, I looked online and most people are fighting Dracula at around level 37 but I'm level 55 and just getting my ass kicked in the large cavern over and over. Am I supposed to just kill Dracula and new game plus it? Or am I just supposed to "git gud"?

Where do I go from here?

I just beat Adramelech and now I have no clue where to go. Every path I try to go down is blocked by a heavy box, a statue or somewhere that I can’t jump to… Am I missing something?

Harmony of dissonance help

I’m stuck in harmony of dissonance and I have no clue where to go from here. The last boss I killed was the Minotaur, and I have the sylph feather but I’m still lost. Anyone know what I should do next?

Has anyone here ever actually got to level 255 with Albus?

And if you have, can you tell me how long it took to get there?

I'm nearing 14 hours and just got to level 185, I'd like to have an idea of how long it should take so I can brace myself.

I maxed my AP a lot of levels ago but this is taking forever, even now that I can kill the Double Hammers with a single Acerbatus if it double hits, it's still not as fast as I hoped.

Lvl 1. Axe Armor Deathless

https://preview.redd.it/0vkhbfe5j98e1.png?width=1519&format=png&auto=webp&s=df9b70ba2d4d0979e25878bdb5ee4206e0a98e0d

This is a follow up post(kind of?) to my previous Richter Mode deathless run on Max Lvl. 1 Hard. I wanted to share another run that took me a really long time to finally complete.

This is by far the hardest thing I have done in this franchise since picking it up, but I am so happy I was able to do so.

If you have any questions about the run, I'll be happy to answer! One thing I will say is that I went into this thinking Richter would end up being the harder run, I was so wrong lmao. This was a long grind, but I'm glad it's over and the run itself doesn't have too many mistakes, finished under 1 hour 10 minutes which was my estimate. There's also 2 notes in the video desc. for other information.

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance

The red cartridges that are out there, are they official or fan made? Also has anyone played the Limited Run collection? How is it?

If someone went out of their way to grind max number of items in Thief mode, did they end up with 98 Sage Robes?

It doesn't matter how many more I grind, it's stuck at 98. So close yet so far. Is it really the cap or am I encountering a weird glitch where I can't hit 99? Not sure how many people on here tried this but hopefully at least one.

What should I avoid?

Hello there, I’m new to the series and I just finished Rondo of blood 100% and on my way to do the same for SOTN, so I’m really enjoying the series so far!

So I bought the classic collection and since most of these games are the oldest in the series, there are bound to be some games that didn’t age well.

My question is, is there a game in this collection that I should avoid playing?

Favorite Castlevania Game?

Alright, say what you will, my favorite is Lament of Innocence. I literally never hear about it, but I love it so damn much. I always like it when a series has a "here's where it all began* game, made later on so I can say " Hey! This happened back then to make this now!" It's the same reason Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda Game. Lament of Innocence really gives me the picture of before Dracula.

For those of you who don't know, Lament Of Innocence is the first game in the Castlevania Timeline, taking place in around 1057 A.D. The story follows Leon Belmont, one of the last knights in service of the church along with his friend, Mathias Cronqvist. Leon's Fiance, Sara, is kidnapped by Walter Bernhard, a very powerful vampire, which makes Leon forsake the Church to go and save her. Unfortunately, he's to late, and Sara is killed. In order to avenge her, he uses her spirit to make a legendary whip, the very Vampire Killer, and slays Walter Burnhard like a Champion. Yet, it doesn't matter. The events of the game were all inspired by Mathias, who had turned into a vampire as the ultimate act of defiance against God, who had let his wife die of sickness. Mathias escaped, and Leon is left to hunt down Mathias and the creatures of darkness. Mathias lives the next century in relative peace, eluding vampire hunters and growing even more powerful, changing his name to.... Vlad Dracula Tẹpẹs.

In this single game, we are told: -Why the Belmonts are considered exiles -How the Vampire killer was made -How Dracula came to be

All in a beautiful story about loss, grief, and the power to push forward.

If you think about it, Castlevania at it's core is the story of a man commiting a lot of burglary

And also occasional murder, only when true alive beings are present

Only one? And it’s one of those compilation fics? What are we doing? (There are several fandoms Castlevania can be tagged for, I just figured the show would be the most likely one)
