Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1) Walkthrough (Part 4)

[HeadBangerAust]

In the room with the giant clock where you met that chick, what do you do to get the upper secret entrance on the left to open? And how do you break open the floor in that room also?

[DarkEvil87]

@HeadBangerAust Upper-right: have the clock subweapon and use it in this room. Upper-left: just wait, it's every other minute I think that it opens. The floor, it's complicated: you need to have both the Silver and Gold Ring equipped. Silver Ring is found in the Bell Tower, but you need a Spike Breaker armor found in the Catacombs, presuming you have the Echo of Bat from Olrox's Quarters. Gold ring is found in the Underground Caverns after beating Succubus in Alucard's Nightmare.

[HeadBangerAust]

In the room with the giant clock where you met that chick, what do you do to get that upper entrance on the right to open up?

[HeadBangerAust]

How do you do that move at 7:35-7:39 exactly?

[DarkEvil87]

@HeadBangerAust It's in the top comments currently as I see them, but repeating won't hurt me so here it is: ↑↓↘→ + [Attack]; and ←/→ to move during teleport, it's hard to do at first, you might have to practice.

[UnivingIshiro]

I have a small question:

I enjoy playing Castlevania and I've been wanting to play this game for some time.Will I enjoy this game?Or should I skip it?

[DarkEvil87]

@UnivingIshiro You can never tell for sure, but I find it to be an excellent quality game. Now, if the Castlevanias you love are the older ones, like the ones on the NES and Super Castlevania IV, this is a totally different concept. I like both styles, but this game isn't like them. If you like the ones on GBA and DS, then this is more similar.

[UnivingIshiro]

@DarkEvil87 So it's like Aria of Sorrow?Then I'm goin for it!Thnx for the help man.^_^

[Duckyworth1]

I wish I could get free food by breaking down walls... XD

[SuperFanFiction]

Maria? As in THE Maria Renard?

[DarkEvil87]

@SuperFanFiction Yeah, that exact one (who was quite a bit younger in Rondo of Blood).

[AvatarAndKataangFan]

It would be funny if someone went in the room at 7:42 and thought: There is probably something in the wall, since the room is empty, breaks the wall and takes the Pot Roast. But then he has to go to the toilet and since nothing attacks him there, he leaves the game for what it is. When he comes back, I would like to see the look on his face.

[DarkEvil87]

@AvatarAndKataangFan I think you might have just described how the first person found that trick.

[AvatarAndKataangFan]

@DarkEvil87 But what are the odds? :D

[187wayztodie]

how you teleport in 7:38 ?

[threepoint14159265]

@DarkEvil87 to answer your question in the description, I think the writer of the dialogue for this game was trying to make it sound older English and Shakespearean. And they failed, but hey, that corniness is why we love it!

[DarkEvil87]

@threepoint14159265 It's a quotable game, especially the intro fight against Dracula.

[bb0yneZ]

wow @8:03 i play this game long time ago then i didnt know theres a secret there.

[bb0yneZ]

i love this game did someone complete the relics?i got 1 left relic.and i dont know where to find it.i finish it many times. it brings back memories.hehe

[GrovyleXShinyCelebi]

SotN Maria > Judgement Maria.

[leomend92]

8:03 WTF????? 

[DarkEvil87]

@leomend92 Strange secret in the game. You just wait for what, 20 seconds I think, and the hidden platform there activates.

[leomend92]

in lords of shadow before dracula had that name he was gabriel belmont :S that means he is somehow related to the vampire hunter at the beginning of this game,its like a war within a family

[thecrist565]

yeahhhh theres a giant eye ball out the window

[snazzycottoncandy]

Well, in England when you say, what do you here, it means like, why are you here? Kinda like, state your name and buisness.

[joaotheboss]

cool walkthrough! its good to see that someone is interested in classics. good quality too!

[Nimsan]

Someone answer! When i looked into the binocular thingy i saw someone on a boat, does this mean something or is it just a random picture?

[DarkEvil87]

@Nimsan It's random.

[booger400yuiop]

Symphony of the Night has the LONGEST saving time......

[madcard333]

Epic voice acting is epic

M.bison: OF COURSE!

[aleman1790]

FRIEND HOW CAN I DO THE POWER IN 7:35... PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

[DarkEvil87]

@aleman1790 ↑↓↘→ + [Attack]; ←/→ to move during teleport, it's hard to do at first, you might have to practice.

[blackspiraldancer6]

What? what is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!

[DarkEvil87]

@PTMDLBTSify That was certainly not planned, I just reacted poorly to the situation.

[Theshark15z]

sometimes when you look through telescope you can see the Oarsman rowing his way to the castle .

[ivanaguilarfuentes]

how come you can go underground at 8:06? :3

[DarkEvil87]

@ivanaguilarfuentes You just have to break the wall like I did and wait there for 20 to 30 seconds.

[ivanaguilarfuentes]

how can you go down in 08:06? :S

[MegaAnonanimal]

7:45 Mysterious hidden roasted dungeon wall chicken

[patrickriley360]

u don't lose health over time when your poisoned?

[DarkEvil87]

@patrickriley360 Yeah you lose health over time, unless you have the Topaz Circlet which absorbs it.

[patrickriley360]

@DarkEvil87 o wow

[Spearel]

This sections music sounds a little Kraidish :)

[jakeholio17surr]

HOW DO U DESCEND INTO THAT HIDDEN AREA COS I CANT DO IT

[jakeholio17surr]

@jakeholio17surr NVM GOT IT

[reflexassassin]

@jakeholio17surr wait,and wait and again wait..

[DarkSamus297]

Damn...I've never been able to play this game. I think I'm missing out. :[

[reflexassassin]

@DarkSamus297 i only played it a few hours with a friend,it's said to be playable on the computer,but i'm searching for months and i still dont find anything...

[zxlegacyxz]

6:57 what the hell is that thing?

[itsRemytime]

How did you do that move at 7:35? :O I can't figure it out.

[DarkEvil87]

@itsRemytime If you still can't figure it out, it's the spell Hell Fire. Up, down, down-front, front and square.

[gamelover1021]

I belive they are speaking in an old version of english because the setting of this game is set in the 1800's

[CrystalHunter1989]

"Who are you?"

"Alucard....and I am but a humble servant of the Hellsing organization."

[Frontuu45]

when she says "what do u here" she means, what are u doing here u morron. its just worded in like, old english. it makes alot more fucking sense

[DarkEvil87]

@Frontuu45 I think everyone including myself understand what she means by that. It's just an uncommon way to say it, in modern days.

[Chibirubiks]

@DarkEvil87 its TOURETTE GUY WAY.

[luigiblox]

@Frontuu45 he knows what it means u fucker

[TheProphecy13090]

Were can I find the "Silver Clit Ring", I got the Gold Ring I wanna open the secret way under the clock were do I find the other ring "Silver Clit Ring".

[DarkEvil87]

@TheProphecy13090 Silver CLIT ring? Well you can get the Silver Ring in the first Bell Tower in the Royal Chapel. There's a room with spikes in there and you need the Spike Breaker Armor to get past them.

[KxK96]

@DarkEvil87 i know im noob but how do u break the colum at part 00:47 :S man im really stuck in this part ive looked in the whole castle and idk how to break that wall and open the MAGIC SEALED door help me plz cuz i really like this game . thnks

[DarkEvil87]

@KxK96 You can break the wall by going the other way around (shortly after beating Gaibon and Slogra) and going down an elevator. You'll get access to the cannon which you must hit and the wall will break. This is in part 3 (look in the video responses). As for the magic door, you need to get to the librarian (obviously in the library) and buy a Jewel of Open. I think that's in part 5, I haven't checked.

[KxK96]

@DarkEvil87 soo theres nothing important behind the wall huh ? anyway lol, whats the merman statue for o.O it says `` summons the oarsman´´ and its kinda weird that alucard get damage in the water lol.

[DarkEvil87]

@KxK96 The merman statue is not really for an ability, but a ferryman will appear in the underground caverns if you have it and you need to cross the river with the ferryman.

[ukguy]

@TheProphecy13090 yeah i was wondering where i can get the "Golden Cock Ring" lol

[Theshark15z]

6:19..........If you look closely you will notice that their is a ratherly large floating eyeball in the background.

[elebits4545]

@Theshark15z  He's being watched......

[psycho642]

I'm stuck..I hope this Walkthrough helps 

[Leveena]

Yes, I do believe that "What do you here?" would be Old English for "What are you doing here?" You know, like when they use "What say you?" for "What do you say?"

[MrAlholland]

What are you supposed to do when you are next to the wall that gives you the pork roast? I keep just standing there but nothing works. Is there another code or what>

[DarkEvil87]

@MrAlholland You slash the wall, get in the newly formed gap and wait for about 30 seconds. The floor should automatically go down like it did in the video. No codes or anything else.

[1122Dragon]

I really appreciate this walkthrough, it's helping me a lot with this game

[Iattacku]

wow thats a big ass caslte i wonder how dracula doesnt get lost in that thing

[sneskegagama]

FUCKING XBOX DI8SCONNECTING ME FROM LIVE.. If i am not connected it reverts the full game to the trial so i gotta go back to the last ti8me i saved.

[OmegaXIII]

I got lucky and picked up a Rapier from that Black Knight guarding that area to where the Mirror Armor and Diamond Knuckles were hidden. Great vids, they're helping!!!

[Nelius88]

7:35 what exactly did you do to get past him? Everytime I go to him it's an instant gameover.

[DarkEvil87]

@Nelius88 I used the Hell Fire spell. You've got to practice to get it right. Press up, down, down-front, front and attack. You press that in a quick succession, then you have a very limited time to press a direction so that Alucard will teleport that way.

[Nelius88]

@DarkEvil87 thanks man

[virisme3]

video is awsome

[8968469]

anyone please tell me how to open that brown wall at 00:50

[DarkEvil87]

@8968469 I think it's in Part 3 of the walkthrough, but basically you have to go around (you should beat Gaibon and Slogra on the way) and hit the cannon's switch from the other side.

[superxbetatester]

amm people were do i find the alucart sword, and the alucard one?

[DarkEvil87]

@superxbetatester I find the Alucard Sword near the 2 minute mark in Part 28-B. It's in a room not far after you defeat Death (got to go up after getting past him). The Alucart equipments are found in the large clock room where you found Maria for the first time. Have a clock as a subweapon and use it there. A statue will move and you'll get access to the Alucart sword.

[superxbetatester]

why is the cape red??

[DarkEvil87]

@superxbetatester Because I found or bought one that happens to be red I think.

[Snakecharmer95]

@superxbetatester i think it's the clothe cape he found earlier in the game

[Homeguy6654]

I finished the game when i was Level 62 and my demon is level 63

[brandstc1]

hey is this game rated t or m, and i really like the fact that the monsters go up in a spray of blood after you kill yhem

[zetanato]

I always find it amusing to meet people in Castlevania games, because they're usually just standing in a random spot with no protection, yet have managed not to get murdered by the myriad creatures that somehow are always after you.

[DarkEvil87]

@zetanato It's like finding an old shopkeeper in the middle of the hardest dungeon in an RPG. It just makes no sense even if you don't think too much about it.

[cgsmitherine3]

6:38 is that an eyeball in the window? WTF!!

[jet874]

It might be some sort of olde english speech thing...chivalry is dead!

[Hasfast]

Chivalry, my friend, is very much alive! It's just that there are few Knights in this cynical age.

The "What do you here?" might very well be a form of classical english. D.R.

[raddreamstar]

You are the man for that statement!

[Tankanko2]

@Hasfast Chivalry aint alive because women don't want it to be. That'd be stomping all over their new found status as 'Human Beings' after all.

[Hasfast]

@Tankanko2 Bah, that's a discussion that's been on for centuries. It's not for women to decide anything about Chivalry. A True Man is a True Man, not because women want it or not, but because he so chooses. Poor little things those girls who can't understand and accept that. I'd rather be a Knight and be alone, than be a common guy and have lots of women. D.R.

[RoCkStArOsOriO]

Hi, .. How did you make that move?.. the one against the Armor Lord?

[DarkEvil87]

It's a magic move that Alucard can do right from the beginning, but it takes practice to do it correctly (I myself forgot to cancel the fireballs). You have to press up, down, forward+attack, but all that in some kind of smooth circular motion. When Alucard disappears, you press left or right to determine which way he teleports. I would've had to press down when he reappears to cancel the fireballs.

[acdcguy17]

@DarkEvil87 how did you go down from were you got the pot roast after you killed the armor lord?

[DarkEvil87]

You see how I stand still for about 15 seconds at the spot where I got the Pot Roast? That's it, you just have to wait, nothing more, then an elevator will take you down automatically.

[DarkEvil87]

Yeah a little accent from Quebec, nothing too bad I hope. Looks like a good headset. I'll look into getting some equipment like that when I have the money for it, which could take a couple of months since I have to deal with some unfinished business first.

[KnotTime]

@DarkEvil87 I've just beaten SotN for the...3rd time I think. This time I took my sweet ole time and picked up almost every single item in the game, which I think is sweet. On another note, you should do a new SotN playthrough without any cheap weapons and a few more spells, maybe you could even do the luck glitch and keep all of Alucard's weapons. And with commentary it'd be sweet.

[DarkEvil87]

Basically I can't do SotN again with all the requests I get, I need to always change games. I used to have about one request in a period of one month or two, now it's 1 or more a week, it's getting crazy. Not that I have any problem with that, of course.

[KnotTime]

@DarkEvil87 Why don't you do it again, but just like one video per week or something like that?

[DarkEvil87]

Good compromise, but I just think I've played it enough, I beat it 3 times or more on my own too. Once just before the videos to learn the game, then during the videos and also in a Richter only game. I'd like more to do the other Castlevania games too, including the ones after SotN who still follow the same type of gameplay, giving me an opportunity to try some I've never played. What I'd like to do when I buy stuff is to add separate versions of my videos with commentary, including this game.

[KnotTime]

@DarkEvil87 Ah man, ok I understand. Maybe someday, lol

[KnotTime]

I wish you would've added voice to this so we would know where to go, what weapons to pick up, etc.

[DarkEvil87]

I don't have anything to pick up my voice right now except for a really really cheap microphone, but I'm thinking about it. There are other problems, like I'm not a native speaker of English, but that's not necessarily a major problem. Anyway, if I ever get something better, I'll upload a second version of my vids with added commentary I think.

[bananajokke]

in psp, is sotn a separate game or is it inside a other game, like X chronicles? (sorry for bad english. ._.)

[DarkEvil87]

It is inside X Chronicles. You can also download it as a separate game from the PSOne Classics in the American and Japanese PlayStation Store.

[unlimitsiz]

great job ;)

you are not bad

good playing

[DarkEvil87]

Thank you!
