Let's Play Castlevania: SotN #3 - Maria and the Blue Door

[cassi75474]

Y U NO STONE MEDUSA HEADS BY TAKING A MIRROR AND SHOWING THE MEDUSA HEAD THEIR FACE?!

[DragonsHigh1]

i love it man

[batousaijin]

In order to see the Oarsman you have to wait until the bird underneath Alucard lands in its nest, then leaves.

[HyperMoeMan]

this is my second time watching this play through. im getting this game

[Lt0GIGAN]

@HyperMoeMan my fifth time :P

also going to buy it played it once loooonng ago and loved it! :D

[colossus3200]

[TheOtc99]

Please forgive me for my language but I find it retarded that you have to get the open jewel from the librarian. I prefer it would be much better if you find the open jewel near the blue door. Thumbs up if you agree.

[FaithRosie]

FYI I've been playing this game for years and if you go to game faqs it will show you a way to keep Death from stealing your stuff

[Matney831]

if you look at different times you will see fish or the oarsmen

[Xantexhunter]

Oh that's where the jewel knuckles were

[jbetenbender]

1:40 lol he intimidated him... why didn't you show the skelerangs being lil vags. 5:43 Yeah that's a "peeping eye"... I always wished there was some way to fight him er rather it. 6:55 Actually only the yellow Medusa Heads turn you to stone.

[refuse2bstopped]

LMAO!!!! That doll slap the S%#$ outta him at 1:05 into the video.

[darkspinesonic3]

"Magically sealed," Just like the Anus of Life

[pkmnbeast23]

how do you get the jewel knuckles and mirror curias like he did? i forgot.

[TheHardAlways]

8:10 very suspicius he plotting something i can smell it >:) ........8:17 AHA!!!!! catched "in fragantti" >:D

[FourRooms]

I can't remember, but I know you can do something with the birds where you look into the eyeglass!??????

[49612153]

i love the cthlhu no mitholigy dumass he is from the book of necromorphs and is a demon the name is pronounced catulu there hunchbacks not fleemen do u even read the guides dat come with the games

[Aikoshi]

@49612153 I'm just going to pretend you aren't there.

[Aikoshi]

@49612153 Screw it, I'll just say it.

Cthulhu is a deity from the series of Lovecraftian horror novels. Both Cthulhu and the Necronomicon were fabricated by Lovecraft, and are part of Lovecraftian 'Mythos'. Mythology.

And official sources DO call that enemy "Fleaman". Hunchback is probably a stronger variation of the same enemy.

Know what you're saying before you say it. And if you're going to swear, at least try to spell it right.

[MAIDENCASTLEVANIAN]

@Aikoshi , you forgot to mention that the "Cthulhu Mythos" was coined by Lovecraft's associate August Derleth. additionally, that it begins in " The Forgotten City" ,which is a great story. and for those who want to know: to read where Lovecraft's Necronomicon began, in "The Children of the Night" (1931)- just adding some info, for those who want to know.

[jbetenbender]

@49612153 God dam you be an asshole.

[49612153]

i love the cthlhu no mitholigy dumass he is from the book of necromorphs and is a demon the name is pronounced catulu

[PokerfaceFighter2]

There is a lag between the audio and the video. just letting you know.

[Hriedmarrj]

AUDIO DESYNC!!!! =[

[sonic4everpeople]

even though this comment has nothing to do with castlevania i play contra on my xbox (along with sotn they ported it) and the contra code actually orks on xbox and on sotn there is no lag

[ashurathesadxhacker]

I could use the mirrorcurest rthing in real life :D

[enCODed3]

rebound stones are very very usefull in boss fights in small rooms like the doppelganger just start fireing them off then you get him in a corner they will hit 2-3 time guaranteed sometimes more

[crayzieman26]

please tell me you purposly knew to stand there and didnt get lucky that was awesome i was suprised i didnt know about that!

[xWagnerPlaguesx]

@crayzieman26 everybody knows bout tht :p so yeh,he knew it aswell

[crayzieman26]

kthulu is a demon from another dimension

[PedroCelioLive]

I'm enjoying your LP. Thanks!

[MissingnoTheGreat]

The dolls sound like a kitty. MEOW!

[oilyhakan]

lol stoned

[Th37thTrump3t]

CTHULHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUU!!!

[GamingTrigger]

Hey crimeinpartner. Your walkthroughs are amazing. I'd really like to make my own Let's Plays, but I don't know how to record my games from my emulator. Maybe I will make like PS3 LPs, but I'd like to make a LP of this game. How did you record it?

[Wolflord99]

"if your stoned" :3

[MVS12]

@Wolflord99 the second i heard him say that i paused the video and looked for someone to comment on that... XD

[JaxTH]

Actually, Maria has invincibility spells. =P

[OceanPrincess631978]

Cthulu (pronounced 'ka-thu-loo), comes from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

He is one of the three Ancient Ones, who is rumored to sleep in the South Pacific.

@minirock91. Yes, that is a Malachi.

In the Occidental (Western) version of Symphony of the Night, Malachi & Cthulu's names were switched.

[Data4664]

Thank you for upload many memories

[swoosh18]

I love how he acts surprised when he finds every secret in the game

[minirock91]

2:26 what is that? a Malachi?

[RAG3D397]

5:01 whaaaat? XD

[DUDEPERSONGUYonXBOX]

"If you get stoned, and you get stoned again it causes a lot of damage."...lololol!

[Hasuklakle]

Fleamen ???? I thought they were called hunchbacks ???

[DUDEPERSONGUYonXBOX]

@Hasuklakle Dude there is a powerup in the game that tells you the enemys name when you strike the enemy. im guessing you never got that powerup. its called the Faerie Scroll.

[Hasuklakle]

@DUDEPERSONGUYonXBOX I got it but I still get it wrong becouse I played this like once and the original Castlevania like 200 times so I allway get that mixed up

[badassreinitz]

wtf man, did u go to castlevania college?

[Dandramere]

Your very sexy at this game yes indeed.

[zapmatik]

8:15 nice :D

[Namord]

i never knew about the elevator... :O

[thesheepdawg]

"You seem human and yet... What do you here?"

I had to pause the video and read that over a few times. Do is the verb in the second sentence, as in "What are you doing here?" Sort of like "What say you?" But still, I thought we had another miserable little pile of secrets moment on our hands.

[molitovguardian]

Never try to make a joke again. Good let's play, though. But seriously.

[mojohovowootnoz]

you can see the oarman unless you get the thing to summon him for the secret area

[Jamesticknor]

The Oreman, I believe, is only shown once. If I'm wrong (because it's been over a decade since I've played) it's very, very seldom. I never saw the fish in the telescope.

[ichigo0383]

@IAR440 playsation is what SOTN was released for originally

[Saladinkaio]

@ichigo0383 Get the fuck out, really? Man, I would have thought a great game like this would have released during the NES era! O_O

[ichigo0383]

@Saladinkaio yep. my brother has it. and yes, i was surprised as well when i figured out it was for the PSX

[angelived]

@ichigo0383 seriously playstation?

[darkCHAOSSOLDAT]

neat trick with the balisard is you hold the attack button it continues to hurt enemies

[darkCHAOSSOLDAT]

the ape killed meeeee

[chicning]

lols "if your stoned"

[PhazonIsAwesome]

What is that eye at 6:30?

[Yoyo12345678910]

The dude in the boat shows up at random.

[alexxm1710]

hey,could you tell me what emulator did you use/other resources in a pm?

your vids are awesome btw,keep it up

[Darkmoone1]

Alucard left the key in his coffin.

[juxtapositioning]

Demonology. Cthulu. Celtic lore has him as well as various other tales.

[ryanbttf]

Maria looks like Freya's sprite almost from Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth XD

[spartan1111111111117]

6:07 in particular, if your stoned, and if you get HIT by something that will get you stoned again... rofl

[Shredmastr514]

the oarsman comes later in the game

[Maldor20]

Ctulhu is something from a book that was written by the Author H.P. Lovecraft, in case no one has pointed it out yet. This information comes from the Castlevania Wikipedia.

[hoyurinmaru]

@Maldor20 I'm a jerk stickler but it's pronounced "ka-thoo-loo" just in case people were curious. One of those mysterious creatures with weird-ass names.

[Inf1ct]

I lost my holy water and am having lots of trouble with the hard guy at 7:58. I went back and looked for some but can't find any. Any other way to beat him?

[CERPAS4]

FUN Fact: Did you know that the character:"Maria" was supposed to be a playable character in SOTN! But, she's only playable in the JAP Version of the game.

[Shredmastr514]

@CERPAS4 she's a playable character in the dracula x version for psp

[Prod1gyX2009]

2 hits yeah... Something like that

[furmanbilton]

you know that if you wait long enough in the area with the telescope that shows the oar man the bird underneath room will fly off...keep waiting and waiting and waiting...and eventually you will see the eggs hatch. I'm pretty sure now that theres no point in doing this (as a kid i thought "oh...this must mean i'll get a good item or something) but the devolpers put it in.you might as well watch it once lol

[tcarter087]

You only see the oarsman if the weather is normal. In your video it was raining, so nothing shows up. I forget what happens when there is fog outside.

[ineedafkinusername]

The sound i out of sync on this video FYI

[amarmehta01]

it's HP Lovecraft. Cthulu is Lovecraftian mythology.

[LucasCAPS]

I HATE Holy Water and got nothing against Rebound Stone. Also, I'd never fight just by punching. Perhaps I should have trusted more the jewel knuckles at the beginning of the game.

Very interesting how different players have different philosophies and behaviors throughout the game.

P. S.: OMG, WEIRD ELEVATOR THINGY! (I got the mirror cuirass through the "honest" way, i. e., becoming mist, but now I must get that pot roast, hoho.)

[ocapeta1]

poha as medusa sao muto injuadas mesmo :D

[ineedafkinusername]

@ocapeta1 BR?? Gibe moni plz! I REPOT U HUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUA­HUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUA­HUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUA­HUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUA­HUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUEHUA­HUEHUAHUEHUAHUE

Your people are a blight in gaming communities everywhere. Fucking Brazilians.

[CssHDmonster]

i hate the clock tower.. so many medusa heads

[GrandMoffWow]

The Cthulhu in this game is mislabeled, the name was switched with that creature the real Cthulhu appears in the upside down castle under that creatures name

[Israfel85]

You got stoned! XD

[TheCatino1602]

in my emulator isnt music plz help

sorry for my english:)

[slavezeroyahoo]

i saw barney

[dlaird8]

I did not know laurence fishburne does alucard's voice. Thats cool.

[maroonoasis]

haha, i like how you reveal things by pretending to be oblivious.

[Zatgi]

The creature named Cthulu was a godly figure created by the writer H.P. Lovecraft, a mithological creature capable of driving mad to anyone who sees him, was made of an unknown matter and his form was difficult to describe because he came from a fifth dimensional universe ( if we take in count the temporal dimension).

[HylianGirl1]

Actually, his form is always described as a chimera with a head of an octopus and a body with wings.

[Brandon4022]

you see Death on a boat in the Telescope i think

[HylianGirl1]

You see the ferrymen :/

[jonpaze]

2:27 O_o

FATAL DAMAGE

[Saroth911]

i think at it isn't always merman or orsman, cause i watched it and i saw ferryman

[gdodd12]

The commentary is BRUTAL!!!

[SilverLuna07]

didn't expect that to happen with that secret and all xD

[countnickoli]

the reason u didnt see the merman or the ore'sman is because it a 50 % 50 % that he will b there if u go back and try a few times he should b there. ive seen ore;sman and somehow a fisheman lol also if u look closley if u see the ore'sman u dont se the fish that u saw lol my opiion is he ate it lol

[Gyarren]

The creature you mentioned is called Cthulu, pronounced Ki-thu-lu. It's from stuff by H.P. Lovecraft.

[foxyfoxyfo]

Cthulhu, sorry for smartassing ;]

[colossus3200]

@foxyfoxyfo also they named him wrong...they gave the guy who was suppose to be Cthulhu the name they were suppose to give the monster in this video...cant remember what it is though

[SeaPrincess1978]

@colossus3200

You're thinking of Malachi.

[pivotman64]

@foxyfoxyfo pronounced KA-thoo-LOO

[JessicaAngel22]

Lol you can stop time on the boss that looks like you fyi, makes it a lot easier.

[bobfromspeedway1]

i HATE mudeusa heads they suck seriously theres no pint to them they knock you off of platfroms and kill you. =(

[ineedafkinusername]

@bobfromspeedway1 wouldn't be Castlevania without em tho haha

[angelived]

@bobfromspeedway1 yes but sadly it wouldn't quite feel like a castlevania game without them :(

[nochio1]

fairyman wasnt there because stuff just changes at different times n such, just like how the book keeper isnt always there

[smilyfacekilla]

Alucard hates his father, that's why he changed his name to his fathers name backwards.

So, naturally, he wouldn't have a key to the castle.

[Xenterex]

or rather, right now its Richter's castle. either way, no key. OR if he did have one, Death took it. (and the Luck name doesn't let you keep it XD)

[AlexRmetroid]

there are no aliens, there are only flying jews from outer space

[teza789]

lol true about the key thing but thing is the castle always changes so the key holes are ganna change to

[DEEERHODES]

Just press up on the D-pad to look in the telescope NANO... And about that Oarsmen crime.. It varies when the oarsman shows up but typically if you leave the screen and come back and look, he will be there.. Fantastic job on the vids by the way!! I take pride in being the self proclaimed Master of Catlevania but I don't think I could have done a better job myself! Ha.. Kudos to you my friend...

[NANOFORGE]

How do you use that scope?. I could'nt figureout.

[5deadspace]

that hidden room is the room you need msit to get into huh thats pretty cool that you can get there so early in the game....how the hell do you find these hidden spots is there any kind of visual hints

[methshin]

you need the merman statue before the oarsmen appears down there.

[omislash]

in the long hallway before the outter wall you do see an eye in the background

[ItsSenko]

'Just enjoy the music.... oh... look at that.' Lmao. Nice acting.

[masterjustin45]

maybe Death stole his key to his dads place?

[slything2]

lol stoned?

[NetMoverSitan]

Maria has access to powerful magic

[zylothewolf]

You know I've played through this game at least 20 times, and I had no idea about that secret place

[TJC0507]

let me take a rest oh shit a secret place hahahahahaha

[justin93749]

See you next.. crime... ?

[squallx12]

you can see the ferryman only after you get the item in the undergroun caverns

[KiaX100000]

lol i was playin it 2day b4 i found this and i realized that in the rooms next to the one you meet maria theres 13 clocks in them lol

[aramaram]

the real napoleon dynamite

[keyransolo]

When I first saw the eye in the window, I thought it was going to be a boss or something, but I didn't see the rest of that thing the entire game. Heh.

[shadow6543]

cthulhu is from an hp lovecraft short story

[XEVILCl0wnX]

I now Why theres not an oars man you have to find him first then you can see him or you can keep trying.

[earearman]

every other time you look in the telescope the merman appears

[earearman]

im sure most of you know, but alucard spelled backwards is dracula

[jck4552]

So it is.

[Maestroxxx1]

liar >.>

[earearman]

ehh oh well, it happened to me

[mrblonde2112]

good walkthrough. thanks

[handleydan]

No merman, huh?  I think it has to do with the proper timing.

[srt4life07]

maria looks like the girl from the first valkyire profile

[strikerx95]

you tube

[aghbi]

Is it just me or does Maria's sprite look almost exactly like Freya's from Valkyrie Profile.

[jarum17]

yeah i think they're is almost identical,and they're looks too=)

[turoturothegreat]

If you get stoned then take another hit of something that will get you stoned you take a rediculous amount of damage. lol

[AntimationFactory]

How do we solve a problem like Maria??

[NikolaiKojevnikov]

to see the Oarsman you need a relic you find in the underground

[blindseer95]

"and yet... What do you here?" I died laughing, and imagened Alucard's pause to be him laughing inside at the sentence.

[MNTGE]

where did you get the page for all of the rare drops

[metalmarious]

In the clock room I cant go up the path in the right... what must I do?,

Apparently when I cant go up the path in the regular castle you cant go down in it in the reverse castle either

[strikerx95]

you have to have the sub wepon that stops time i think there is one in the part of the marble gallary on the second candal of the part right before you go in tghe lo\ng hallway one obtained go to clock tower in both regular and reverse castle and you the sub item and the right passage will open

[ant0ine2]

i think you can only see the oarsman on the telescope once you have the merman statue.

[Wowguy667]

Alucard can't get stoned? Damn, I wonder what he was like in college, then.

[thelink2yoshi]

he was in vampire college , the only "fluids" girls wanted was blood. lol.

[Burnoutparade]

You see the merman when The Clock is at the 2:30 time peroid, It has stuff to do with time

[filipinowhiteboy]

you knew that hidden elevator was there. you don't have to act like you didn't know.

[goatymikeychris]

could you email me the page that you look up ithe rare drops in the game

[DrolKeegEht]

"Ctulu" actually comes from "Cthulhu," a mythological alien god-thing that drives people insane when they look at him. He also eats souls.

[StuntManPliskin]

in the clock room where you meet maria for the first time, at 03:50 there is a large part of the background that moves from the left.

this moves in and out repeatedly if you just hang around by the clock, does anyone know what it does?

[giantcollector]

Every other minute that statue will either block or give you access to the passage above. The statue on the other side will move aside as well if you use the stopwatch subweapon while in front of the clock.

[THEMANIZZME]

"you think he will have a key to his dad's place?" nice commentary work.

[dgenx210]

You're really hilarious especially after Maria passed by... Your vids are worth a watch. Thanks for uploading them for our entertainment :)

[gayninja88]

also forgot that only the gold medusa heads will petrify you unless you have the mirror cuirass. If you dont have it there is about a 99.9 percent chance that you will be petrified if touched by a gold medusa head.  The normal blue-green ones will only damage your health.

[gayninja88]

the tables are actually poltergeists.

[DahakTzimisce]

I heard they mixed up the names between the enemies named Malachi and the one they named after Cthulhu.

[kubevubin]

They did. Cthulu is described as having features of an octopus or squid, and - for some reason - Castlevania has always given Malachi those features. I don't know if it's a localization error or what, but it's definitely wrong.

[Wowguy667]

Cthulhu. Lord the Old Gods, Master of the Great Dark, Holy Master of the Great, Expansive Universe.

[leafgreenbeast]

charon (the oarsman) doesnt appear on the telescope until you get the merman idol from the tunnels.

didnt know about the secret elevator, nice.

and you forgot to get the stopwatch, with it you can kill doppelganger1 without him being able to move once.

just use it as soon as he starts to move and wail on him with the baselard while he's frozen, he'll die before the clock's duration is finished

[tsukune007]

i didn't know that was a betten path for alcuard?

[Ohiostatefan221985]

This sure looks like Harmony of Dissonence

[CustardGanet]

Cthulu is from a H P Lovecraft novel,which im sure has already been pointed out,Lovecraft is also responsible for the ever popular "Cthulu dance"

[nitemaric]

the cathulu or whatever it is spelled is a myth

[arctifox88]

Maria's sprite model looks much like Freya from Valkyrie Profile.

[DUDEPERSONGUYonXBOX]

@arctifox88 people need to stop pointing that out. its like the 15th time.

[latinoman34]

cthulu is a monster tht pops from the sea :D looks really cool

[Wakabomp]

and Necktacle of J pop out of him

[Gorlokk666]

im in the inverted castle and i still dont have the Spirit Orb

[SniperCurse]

you get the spirit orb in the non-inverted castle... watch the 2nd video and you'll find where it is

[kumakouji]

Cuirass is pronounced "Qui-rass" not "Cure-ass".

[NetMoverSitan]

in this game "stoned" means turn to or get encased in stone, not "stoned" as in full of narcotics
