Nintendo DS Longplay [024] Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Part 1 / 2)

Kazillion days in the making.
Oh, and that kanji as the name on the save file. That is the kanji for "gold".
"I LOVE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!"

I didn't want to do 100%, but decided "Why not?" So...here it is. C-Qull to Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow takes place one year after AoS. The game is noticeable for the anime thing going on. Anime thing going on equals no Soma pimp coat. =( (that MIGHT be his pimp coat, but AoS Pimp Coat is where it's at). A new mechanic for this game is the Magic Seal, where after you deplete the boss's HP, you have to draw the Seal to kill it for good. Fail to draw the seal and the boss will regain some HP. For the record: Magic Seal drawing is tool-assisted...sorta. Don't blink!

Game info thingamabob: Another 100% soul as well as 100% Map Rate on Normal mode. Other mentionables: I do some weapon synthesis, go through all mirrors, show all three endings, and locate 3 hidden items: Konami Man, Bell, and Crown. I label it as "100% soul" because I get all of the souls, though I use them at the end of the game to get the final form of weapons (yes, there will be Claimh Solais shenanigens...on the final fight). All souls are needed for the Chaos Ring to appear. After getting the Chaos Ring, I do the synthesis thing. First off, I had to go New Game Plus to get the Soul Eater Ring (it is hard to get in this game.) I also brought a Rare Ring into the game as well (there are two ways to get one: having Aria of Sorrow in the DS and starting a new game, or finding it in Silenced Ruin). Sadly, I don't use it, so it was a waste. Other stuff that was brought over to the game are Boss Rush items (RPG, Nunchaku, Terror Bear), some other stuff that came with the file from cheating to clear the game quickly (Whip, Bare Knuckles, Alucard Sword), and stuff I couldn't dispose of (Mina's Talisman, Chaos Ring). I won't be using any of the Boss Rush items, Whip, Alucard Sword, or Chaos Ring (though I will use it when I ACTUALLY pickup the item). I also bought and sold crap so the Gold will be zero, emptied ALL items (consumables), souls, and equipment. Pretty much a clean slate of sorts.

As mentioned, it is 100% soul. Since things don't go right, I have to resort to the grind thing. It isn't TOO bad (unless it is a 3-star soul.) To make mincemeat out of everything, I abuse the hell out of Mandragora (which I shall dub "LOLdragora"). It only costs 30 MP, range is OMG!, and the damage is INSANE! So expect to hear lots of "REEEEEEEEEARGH!!" When I do the grind thing, I usually fight the same monster 5 times or so (just noticed I defeated Barbariccia about 13 times. =/ I forgot to reload the savestate.), go through an area 3 times, or use all of the MP. I do get some souls with little effort, like the Treant and Giant Slug. Plus, I need certain souls to get 100% map, to be specific: Bone Ark or Skeleton Ape.

[zagi1able]

hmm maybe, he said he did it in many longplays but im not 100% sure about this case here. ps: you like castlevania games?

[TheRapmanOO]

I played this game multiple times. Or do you mean he recorded so many times that he gets the soul at the first tries ? very unlikely i think

[zagi1able]

its called re-recording i guess

[TheRapmanOO]

This guy plays so good, and i suck. Can someone explain me why the guy in the video gets so much souls, but i dont get any souls ?! I Only get a soul per 50 kills or so D:

[Douglas Murphy]

I love castlevania! These three for the DS are the best. Liked & Fav'd Your 2 Videos.

la patada la puedes hacer una vez que tengas el alma de doble salto, simplemente presionas abajo despues de hace run salto, en esa parte lo que puedes hacer es destruir las torres de hueso poco a poco, de tal forma que te hagas una escalera para llegar al piso superior

el alma del murcielago lo obtienes al derrotar al jefe "bat company", en el stage donde usas el alma de zephyr para desbloquear el tiempo (donde hay un cañon que dispara a una pared)
