Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Julius Mode) - Final Boss: Soma Cruz

[RPGL07]

Luckily the julius mode on the ds has mp regen unlike the first one :)

[8Kazuja8]

Does someone have any idea how somas boss theme is called? It sounds pretty awesome.

[FinalAtonement]

@8Kazuja8 It is called "Illusionary Song" or "Dance of Illusions" depending on which Castlevania game you are playing.

[Hollowomegasbeast]

Why the hell does Soma look like a fag otherwise, but when Dracula takes over becomes a badass?

[TheZZCLUTCHZZ]

i would be doing 300 damage with my zerker mail everytime the whip hits dracula with julius.... that is all :P

[Supermariofan14]

How do you record DS footage?

[TheArcticwolf15]

*Epic music*

Soma: *sips wine*

[kokubunji]

Why does Julius look a lot better (looks and animation wise) in DoS than in HoD? :(

[Kirbyluver2]

@kokubunji

well for one in wasn't even in harmony of dissonance

[Kirbyluver2]

@Kirbyluver2

he* not in

[Hollowomegasbeast]

@Kirbyluver2 He means Harmony of Despair..

[TOMNOTSOCRUIS]

This game is crap...it is nowhere as difficult as the oldest(and best) castlevania games :/

[serarblem123]

@TOMNOTSOCRUIS the old castlevanias were a completely different genre, so ofcourse the difficulty will feel different. you just don't like rpgs and the fact that challenging platformers aren't made anymore, amirite?

[toycrush]

Soma>all!!! Even as dracula!!!

[ALPhaubber9]

Soma doesn't even talk with him

[ratboy850]

anyone know how to get into death's mine? Ive killed all the bosses to get in but it's not openT_T

[Abner321able]

@ratboy850 you should fight Paranoia,then fight against Dario but use the Paranoia ability to enter on the mirror, you will fight against Aguni then you can go to the death´s mine. I speak spanish but i hope it helped to you.

[KilltacularShadow]

It's been so long since I've played Dawn of Sorrow I can't recall. In Julius mode, Soma becomes Dark Lord. But, if you play it right, doesnt' soma NOT become dark lord (thanks to alucard) in the regular game?

[214CIceCar]

@KilltacularShadow The Bad Ending is Soma becoming the Dark Lord. To get the good Ending, you need to enter the area with a certain accessory equipped, as it will prevent him from becoming the Dark Lord.

[KilltacularShadow]

@214CIceCar Yeah, I ran through the game again and realized that. I felt stupid having to ask, since I was having a dumb moment.

[molomon123]

hmmm getting gaibbon soul maybe hard

but getting great axe armor souls is extremely hard so how i can get soul eater ring



[metashinryu]

@molomon123 umm sorry if im a bit late on the reply, but great axe armor soul isnt hard at all, just use imp bullet soul and you can kill like 5 before it runs out with guardian black panthers shockwave.

[AllanDrak]

2:45 Julios Says: I rule xDDD

[TheFinalActongaia]

Oh wow, a use for Julius. xD I hardly ever use him, since Yoko and Alucard are so much better.

[ZombieRyushu]

What emulator do you use?

[Link6410]

es facil derrotar a este jefe???

is easy to defeat this boss??

[sitien14]

Menance is more harder...

And he is an easy boss...

Really Soma looks very super duper powerful,but in this battle he is pathetic...

[TTOTheTrueOne]

Gratz for beeting him on a realistic level. Not like "see me owning him on 50 !"

[xler12]

soma's evil laugh is awesome XD

[kingsizemedal]

Dont you get a special soul from this?

[ManyFaces1999]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT CASTLEVANIA SOTN FOR DS!!!

[PikachuColoredPichu1]

Poor Soma :(

[Yobama007]

@PikachuColoredPichu1 Lol no, not poor Soma. He chose to become the Dark Lord. He thought the biznitch killed his GF so he became the Dark Lord to eff her shiz up. :D:D:D:D

[ratboy850]

@PikachuColoredPichu1 same here but im not suprised

[RaijinDestroyer]

Good quality!What do you use?

[Leetunen]

All right.. I have two questions right here:

1. Who the hell is Alucard?

2. Is Arikado Alucard?

Plz. answer these if you can. I'm a Sorrow noob. XD

[deadeye007jon]

@Leetunen Alucard is the son of Dracula and the main protagonist for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and yes, Arikado is Alucard.

[Leetunen]

@deadeye007jon Ok, thanks.

[thefallen098]

who is the guy in the picture frame?

[skawt24]

They could have bothered to give alucard a new sprite,

also was i the only one expecting the camera too zoom out and show a photo at the end?

[Yoshisuperstar123]

soma cruz= dark lord= dracula= HOLY PWNAGE!!!!

[secretbootlegs]

Just played this game for the first time over the weekend. I took some damage on this boss. . . but man, you make Boss Soma look like a glorified Toad Man from Mega Man 4. F'n sweet, dude!! :-)

[redgja]

at last a belmont mode with a diferent final boss than the original. really epic

[sitien14]

This is the easiest final boss ever...I win at level 40 without saving with 47 HP(No damage)

[fredy385]

The beginning of this video, before the battle, look like Symphony of the night beginning.

[IIPokeMasterII]

good thing i got a ds :)

[Saturnstales]

0:17  COME GUARDIAN!

[alucardshero]

it too bad i lost this game. it drives me nuts cuz this game was so awesome

[alucardshero]

at 0:15 soma calls him arikado. XD

[D3M0N303]

@alucardshero That's his name, he's Arikado AKA Alucard..

[daeronjames]

@alucardshero .........No SHIT!Arikado is how you pronounce Alucard in Japan!

[Takazatara]

Gah I hate how Alucard's anime pictures make him look like a girl.

[Hoorayforfakes]

@Takazatara As if Alucard already didn't look like a girl in SotN.

[Takazatara]

@Hoorayforfakes The old art style?, fat chance maybe some of the pictures but none of the ones they used in the game.

[gari78540]

what hapend to soma in 0:43 ?

[ratboy850]

@gari78540 he was a host of the dark lord but his body couldnt take any more damage so he emerged,killing soma himself.

[gari78540]

@ratboy850 ok thnx for reply

[ratboy850]

@gari78540 no probs :)

[HUNK1997]

Wtf Soma transforms himself in Dracula rex xD,was stupid they used the simphony of the night sprite.

[daeronjames]

@HUNK1997 T_T...You ARE a compplete and total f*cking backwards retard,aren't you?

[OmegaFujin]

A fun boss, but I felt its pattern was far too easy to defeat. Something bugs me about bosses that sit for too long after they try an attack. I'm like

"Hello! it missed and I'm attacking you relentlessly here, do somethin about it plz"

[KampferXeon]

He should be soooo much harder.

[TheFunyvideos]

omg i dont wanna battle soma hes my favorite :*^(

[skedardestroyer]

Always wondered....who is that in the painting? Is that supposed to be Dracula?

[n64central]

@skedardestroyer no i don't think so

[sitien14]

@skedardestroy In the painting there is Dracula young

[coasterfreak14]

I love how this boss battle is reminiscent to the opening battle between Richter Belmont and Dracula from Symphony of the Night.

[sorokas168will]

well... at least soma was sorta less tall and menacing looking then the other draculas... >_> partically at least

[956643]

if u think about it this way this is actually a 3rd bad ending cuz soma dies as the dark lord instead of saving the day and bein happy wit mina this is an outcome tht julius or anyone aint want bt he aint have a problem killing the evil basterd lol

[otame]

i have to admit the first few times i played this boss i was distracted by that painting in the center. who the hell is that! but i didn't even think to use alucard to dodge his first attack. the second part is just crazy though. your right, if you don't know the pattern you're fucked one hit from those snakes and fire blast you're dead at lvl 38/39. but i'm curious...Is it possible to get all of the attacks that soma uses as his boss form in the regular game? i want that harpi familiar

[somaisthebest]

@otame you can! Big Axe: Great Axe Armor, Gaibon is from Gaibon, the sankes: Larve, harpy: Harpy, flame: Aguni, Abbaddon: Abbaddon

[SonicMatrix64]

only 1 thing could have made this game great..... AN ENEMY HEALTH BAR! Kingdom Hearts had one you could equip or unequip and I always use the one in that game. This game isnt even close to the classic castlevania games so i dont see why not the should add a health bar or even id take a health meter just for the bosses

[PhazonIsAwesome]

Wait where's Alucardo in the ending? O_o

[WinExploder]

@PhazonIsAwesome He's the black-suit guy, Genya Arikado.

[PhazonIsAwesome]

@WinExploder oh you kidding me I didn't know that. O_o

[otame]

@PhazonIsAwesome alucard is standing on the far right in the suit. during the normal game alucard presents himself as a secret service agent with a different name. the sorrow series is set in the 2035 2036 time period so the characters look very modern for that time. alucard only looks like his original symphony pallete when you get to play as him in Julius Mode. i guess the creators wanted to be nostalgic about it.

[PhazonIsAwesome]

@otame Yeah, that makes sense, thanks. :D

[daeronjames]

@PhazonIsAwesome ALUCARD IS THE GUY IN THE FREAKING TUXEDO YOU DUMB BACKWARDS RETARD!I JUST POPPED A BLOOD VESSEL IN MY HEAD FROM ME BEING SO ANGRY AT YOUR STUPIDITY!

[PhazonIsAwesome]

Great use of holy water. :)

[javierpiful]

an epic battle, yeah!!

[oxe161]

Fitting for a belmont to finish up draculas bloodline...and omg is he still wearing a speedo? 'sigh' poor soma...that stupid bitch who made him evil died anyway...so in a way its all good

[CDiKingsAhoy]

Suprinsingly, Soma was easier than abbadon for me. Ending was nostalgic but rushed a little.

[AnesBosna]

why soma hes the hero

[VanityProductionVP]

btw how can i get to this stage?

i dunno how to get to the abyss in julius mode help!

[twilightwindwaker]

I always have trouble dodging those worm things. I still get hit even when I did go under him but then again I didn't try sliding.

[AazerX]

Sooooomaaaa.....

Alucardo!

*Insert epic fight here*

[PerfectGenius23]

Holy hell, the quality of this video is amazing. Its the smoothest and most fluid DS footage I've seen.

Great fight as usual.

[dragonballz701]

wasnt soma a good guy in tha other catlevania for tha DS

[ZSlyzer]

If you would pay attention, he has become the dark lord in this. Julius Mode basically comes into play when Soma becomes the dark lord.

[dragonballz701]

well im not really into catlevania i really hate it when some1 who plays tha game gets an attitude with some1 else who has never played it b4

[RenshaiKdan]

But the other dude did played the game or at least knows enough about it to be confused. And since you're not into Castlevania yourself, why are you watching this vid then?

[dragonballz701]

i can watch wat i want and if im not into it i sure as hell can learn from watching a few videos about

[dragonballz701]

also who asked for opinon on the matter anyway

[ZSlyzer]

I'm confused as to how you would think I had an attitude towards you.

[dragonballz701]

idk sometimes i just take things the wrong way

[SirSteaven93]

@dragonballz701 just look at one of the videos with the bad ending for this game and it will explain everything

[SonicMatrix64]

@ZSlyzer julius mode is pretty much the soma story ending when soma dosent equip mina's talisman it is when genya (alucard) and julius go into the castle to fight soma so the julius mode ending just continues off from when genya and julius both walk in to fight soma

[Bastiest]

Wow, you made Soma look like a joke.

When I tried beating him he kicked my ass hard time.

[NoAsking]

Whoa. Wasn't expecting Dance of Illusions to start playing.

[lukefonfabre911]

not a very interesting ending

[nsssj]

I never got this far in Julius mode because leveling up enough not to get creamed was so tedious, so I'm glad you posted this.

Is the intro different depending on who's active when you enter Soma's lair? And is there any dialogue after the castle collapses?

[DeadlyAngelicDemon]

The dialogue at the beginning differs between whoever enters Soma's lair. There isn't any dialogue at the end, though.

[Xidphel]

And a kickass boss battle.
