[Horribleamedias]

dracula dislikes this

[theGDbatman8686]

OK...I have a stooopid question; the reverse cloak, you bought it, put it on, reversed it (which is very obvious now that ive seen you do it/hence the title!)...what is special about the reverse cloak??? Does it affect your stats?

[DarkEvil87]

@theGDbatman8686 It's not so special, I just bought the cloak I had money for at the time, it increases my defense by 2.

[theGDbatman8686]

yea...this is one of those games that you get so caught up in, you play for an hour, forget to save, do somethin' stooopid...I still curse, every time!!!

[duskfactory001]

00:58 sounded like the loser theme from cartoons

[madcard333]

Alucard: I buy this

Librarian: LIKE U!

Alucard: -.-

[gonzalito1213]

[blackspiraldancer6]

[DarkEvil87]

@PTMDLBTSify I thank you for watching!

[DarkEvil87]

@PTMDLBTSify Oh yes, certainly there are lots of them. Even Dracula quotes the Bible directly near the end.

[Theshark15z]

Pretty much all the sounds effects are the same for the Sega Saturn version except Alucard's Voice when he speaks and attacks, the same for the PSP. They used different voice actors for the PSP and Xbox version. In my opinion the originals were better especially Alucards and Draculas voice. The only one I was greatful that they changed was the Ferryman.

[wilzusuki]

alucard would kill dward with hell fire

[TehGameDude]

i hate the fucking medusa heads.

[Spearel]

hihi... thank you XD

[WarKeybladeFenrir]

whats with the rusty red sword?

[brunobb1]

Epic battle against Alucard shape shifting demon is epic...

I felt like a Rocky song was going while I was preparing myself for that batle (wich I lost the last time). I killed the same knights over and over again and maxed my hearts and then....I KICKED HIS ASS!

[KxK96]

@brunobb1 u could have used Dark Methamorphosis lol sorry i had to reply at ur comment XD

[chubies666]

I think the Long Library's Wood Carving Partitia, Olrox's Quarter's Dance of Pales, and the Inverted Castle's Lost Painting are My favorite songs in the game.... What are your favorite songs?

[DarkEvil87]

@chubies666 Bloody Tears (Sega Saturn version), Olrox's Quarters, Dracula's Castle, Abandoned Pit and there's something I like about Requiem of the Gods too.

[chubies666]

@DarkEvil87 I forgot Requiem of the gods lol... That's chilling organ followed by the eerie sound of the air sounds so dark and epic haha

[Guicarvalhomendes]

@chubies666 You have a nice taste of music!

[musiclover3928]

"Dance of Pales" is a gorgeous tune!. "Lost Painting" is another favorite.

[anticristo579]

se mata hasta por un corazon ,yo lo termine 200 % ñaca ñaca prrr xD

[edvanced12]

there should be a contra game that plays in this format.

[edvanced12]

Unholy rifle men, awsome.

[BlacklandfireDragon1]

What is an Edward?!?

A miserable pile of sparkles,enough Talk....HAVE AT YOU!

snail_______@_9

[KxK96]

@BlacklandfireDragon1 XD lmao xD

[DarkEvil87]

@BlacklandfireDragon1 I can't believe I missed the Twilight reference for so long. Yes, Edward is a miserable little pile of sparkles.

[BlueRazor69]

wow talk abot hitting the books

[Theshark15z]

What I would usually do, is save up a lot of money to buy the Diamond Plate and Joseph's Cloak, which is the best Cloak in this part of the game even better than the Royal Cloak in the reverse level, but one step beneath the Twilight Cloak. Diamond plate has the best defense of all Mail and armors, at least until you find the Walking Armor in the reverse level.

[blackflame100]

Reverse cloak rocks!

I like it blue, looks awesome !!!

[crossgravekeeper]

the blue on that reversed cloak is kinda hard on my eyes. haha.

[VigorousNinja]

Is the Xbox Live Arcade version the full game like the PS1's version?

[DarkEvil87]

@VigorousNinja Yes certainly. The only things missing are the video cutscenes (one at the beginning and one of the crumbling castle near the end I think) and I believe they replaced the ending song with another one.

[VigorousNinja]

@DarkEvil87 I followed your entire guide, through to around episode 7 without saving, because I'm a douche, and what do I do? I think I put it on pause, when I don't, thus getting killed. -Sigh. This has has happened twice now. :'(

[DarkEvil87]

@VigorousNinja This happens to me all the time, especially in games I find not too hard. Everything goes well, so I don't take the time to save and then one mistake or two and I'm dead.

[Megamanrp]

how do you get spells in the beginning of the game

[DarkEvil87]

@Megamanrp You can use a spell if you know the right combination without even buying it. Just search Symphony of the Night spells on Google and the first result should be the right one.

[shrint]

heheh, thank you!

[haha0723]

When I went to the Master Librarian, he wasn't selling the "Magic Scroll 1". Can anyone help me with this problem?

[1locojoko1]

@haha0723 it teaches "dark metamorphosis"

you might already learned it if the librarian doesn't sell it to you

check your spells if its not there the combo should be...

left, left up, up, right up, right, and square or circle

[MEXiCan8890]

@1locojoko1 what does dark metamorphosis do

[1locojoko1]

@MEXiCan8890 when an enemy dies or gets hit and blood comes out alucard absorbs it so you regain health

[MEXiCan8890]

@1locojoko1 really thats sick

[ravenwoodwitch]

no matter what game it is, everyone hates the meduca heads. I know I do at least.

This looks like a fun game, and I am an extreme fan of the castlevania series-I should look into it.

[DarkEvil87]

@ravenwoodwitch Even if I love the Casltevania games, I absolutely hate the medusa heads too, probably as much as everyone like you said.

[faker11111]

@DarkEvil87 The most sastisfying thing is when you showed me where to find the jewel knuckles so everytime I saw one I could personally punch them in face since it's the only target. The medusa heads were toned down from previous entries though, here it takes one around 5 seconds to respawn whereas the older games they were like stormtroopers kill one and another pops instantly back in its place.

[DarkEvil87]

And the most important thing, you could die in previous games when Medusa Heads hit you, because they'd make your character fall in gaps. In Symphony of the Night, there's no such thing.

[MarchingBlueNGold]

i just started playing and im  confused, what do hearts do?

[DarkEvil87]

Oh I guess this is your first Castlevania game then. For some reason, heart is not health in this series, but energy for using subweapons. You find these subweapons in candles and you use them by pressing up and attack.

[SpadesOmega]

its more of a force of habbit to just randomly get the hearts even with the energy thingy full xD

[12325Arangus3232]

it would have been cool to see if u used more special attacks with alucard..

but great playing.. i enjoy it

[DarkEvil87]

His magic moves, that's something I always wanted to include more before playing and then, when I got to it, I forgot to do them. Especially when I found the Crissaegrim and didn't need anything outside of the sword. But thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed it.
