stoobie Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The crab is dead. I got the tram in today and that gave me a good 45 minutes to sit and try as many times as needed. Got him on the second go. I got the light glyph and the underwater glyph and am now swimming about murdering fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Like i said before, the game expands a bit more after the crab - good times ahead. Ive beaten the three bosses in Dracula's Castle that Ben beat ages ago. Just got a swish 'Death Ring', makes me strong as an Ox but i can be killed in one hit but im not scared, if it moves i attack it. Only Level 39 so i got some work to do before i meet Mr Alacard. Oh, and Superior Sickle Glyph and Valkyre Outfit ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Where did you get the superior sickle from? Also the Death ring was the one I was hinting about in another post. Dont leave it on all the time though, but the insane bonuses it gives you are worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Where did you get the superior sickle from? Ummmmm, Candy Store? I really dont know, its just something i had in my purse when i looked. Death wasnt too bad, especially with that speed glyph attatched to the L Button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Misty Wood Road is solid! Those guys that kick you take some serious pounding. I am going to use it to level up for a while before I even try getting any further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Ha I' glad it wasn't just me that took a beating there. Congrats on beating the crab btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 *super trumpets* Im joining Ben in his band Dracula Pwnd, bags drums tho. It could be a trio Stoobie, is it worth waiting for you or shall we go ahead and break the US? You could join us in Asia. I was having stupid trouble with Dracula until i mixed some of my Glyphs around. I was taking 1000 points of damage off him per hit in the end! Hell of a game overall, i think its my favorite one so far and not just because its the most recent. I loved the Village and the little sub-quests, and also that was a plce to go back to heal and re-stock hearts, a lifesaver actually and a very welcome addition. I found myself lookin for warp points just as much as save points in the sub levels, just to get back to the village where i knew everything was ok. Albus mode awaits but Bens got me tempted with Sorrow again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to join the 10 year reunion tour the rate I am getting through it I have just picked up Fire Emblem as well, but I want to finish COoE first before I start it, so i will be playing it to death this week.

stoobie Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Double post win! The levels are getting too hard/too far between save points for me to play this on the train - I am going to have to start playing at home as well I think. I am level 21 in Skeleton Caves(?) and there are skeleton dinosaurs - they rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a great way to level up in Skelton Cave Stoobie, ive posted it near the beginning of the thread if you wanna check it out, unless u find it yourself. You can go up at least 10 levels in 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Double post insanity I hate the fishy mermaid woman - what weapons do you recommend? I am using lightning and axe? Lightning is weak against her but the up+x+y attack takes a fair bit from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 hmm, Im not sure actually. One of them must have been able to hit her from above, so maybe the axe or, even tho its weak, lightening? My main tactic was to get behind her while she was doing her hose attack, then deal real damage there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Right I have beaten the guy who you are chasing and then I sacrificed myself which I guess is the bad ending. I had missed out on two villagers. He was really easy - but then I am level 32 so he should be compared to when you two finished him. Gonna have a break from it before I go back and do the rest. But I loved it - not played a castlevania right through(ish) since the SNES/Megadrive ones. I might pick up the other DS ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got a bit to do Stoobie, i'd carry on whilst its all fresh in your mind but hey, im not your dad, do what you want. Or am I? And what what what? Didnt bother with the other ones? A hex on you.

Ive read through the rest of the topic as well and found out how to get two glyphs I couldnt reach. Maybe you are my father - did you sleep with my mam when you were minus 3 years old?

retroed Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Pretty bloody good this, isn't it? I have played both Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin, and am ashamed to say I haven't finished either, but I've started this with the intention of seeing it through to the end. I like the Glyph system, very easy to use and it appears to be working very well thus far. The graphics and sound are some of the best the DS has seen to date, with some funky effects going on for good measure. I'm currently Level 10, I grinded a bit early on to gain a couple levels while killing time, and am just past the second boss (the skeleton one?) and have the pillar of light Glyph now. I like having the Village as a central point to go and visit, save etc. I shouldn't have the double jump skill yet, should I? There's a few places I can see me needing it for, but I haven't come across it yet. Anyway, I'm really liking what I've played so far, and I can see it getting rock hard later on.

DANGERMAN Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 yep, the next boss will probably make you cry I think all the important glyphs are pretty much unmissable, although i did miss the wings (had to search but they were right near where i needed them) Good to see someone else has picked this up, hopefully everyone on the site will get it over the next few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
