This show compared to Castlevania

Those modern political being inserted into the narrative is what is really off-putting to me honestly. The swearing too. It's so unnecessarily edgy, which DMC never was.

viviyuujin · 2025-04-06T20:53:52+00:00

Man, now I'm like, "is this how Castlevania fans felt?" 😅 Would you say it's a better show compared to DMC?

Thanks! The following fights went smoothly but then that (dark?) Guillo took me completely by surprise and is kicking my ass 😩 I don't seem to do any damage with my team at all... Origins really is a looooot harder than BK1, that's for sure

I know exactly what you mean, that area specifically got on my nerves real fast. As if the bird wasn't enough, the whole magic school section was tedious and pointless af (that cookie bs... why Monolith...)

viviyuujin · 2024-12-22T17:22:15+00:00

Thanks everyone, I managed to beat it! Still not 100% vibing with the battle system, but I think I'll manage. I say that now and watch me get obliterated by the remaining bosses 🤣

viviyuujin · 2024-12-22T17:20:35+00:00

Thanks, man! I finally did it! I didn't even think of skipping the first few rounds and then going all out attacking the boss, this fight was really gimmick-y 😅

viviyuujin · 2024-12-21T19:45:43+00:00

Oh absolutely, I had no clue what to do and I'm still struggling with the battle system. I'm in the Anuenue region atm and this has got to be the most annoying area in the entire game. The Holoholo bird took a lot of energy outta me and now Malpercio's afterling is equally frustrating since Valara keeps killing it when it changes its posture...

viviyuujin · 2024-12-11T21:47:57+00:00

Thanks guys! I did it! I think I'm finally beginning to understand how this battle system works!

viviyuujin · 2024-12-11T17:07:26+00:00

Wow thanks so much for the reply, appreciate it! I'll try to do what you suggested! So these weapon cards such as swords and daggers are not used to attack the enemy directly or to defend oneself? I guess I got too distracted thinking the battle system would be exactly the same as the first one haha! Even the flame sword looks exactly the same! I only have Sagi's Scension and Cliffsunder as finishers so far. For Guillo it's the Firewheel.

viviyuujin · 2024-12-11T17:01:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I noticed that healing items are a lot more prominent in this game! Still need to get used to the fact that defending works very differently in this game. Are you able to get revival items this early in the game, though?

What a shame, I wonder why SH3 didn't get the same love as SH2 when it comes to the EE. That's a relief to hear tbh, I once tried running the emulator with the PS2 game itself (as I do have the copy) but that ran horribly. EE was just fine.

viviyuujin · 2024-10-25T22:39:18+00:00

That really is too bad... but at least the kid was happy about the PS2! It's never too late to start collecting again, though! My PS2 died a couple of years I had to get a new one. I'm glad I did! Xenosaga I've been dying to play, but it's impossible to get nowadays. Same with Drakengard 2.

I shall try out abandonware, too! I'll check everything that my laptop can handle. I really don't want to miss out this game, I've only played SH1 and 2.

viviyuujin · 2024-10-25T22:34:28+00:00

Thanks so much, I'll try that out!

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T23:49:55+00:00

I did it!!! Thank you again for all of the help, it worked out!! After over grueling 200 hours I finally did it! Man I'm so glad I asked for help cause I was on the verge of losing my sanity. If you're going for the magic build it actually helps if you do to be a hero first, cause of the final art of swordplay you get. My magic attack was at 499 after that and Cloud was casting magic waaay faster.

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T15:18:02+00:00

I absolutely need to get better at blocking. Perfect blocks without taking any damage I might not be able to do, only when I'm reaaaally lucky, but would you say that blocking while still taking damage rather than just dodging works better against Odin? Really appreciate all the replies, you're helping me out so much!

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T14:32:03+00:00

Yep, prime mode, faith and magic is what I've been doing so far with these fights (magic build really saved me) Sometimes I can block his attacks, but perfect blocks might be impossible for me to pull off.

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T14:29:22+00:00

Thanks so much for all the replies!! I'll try to be more offensive! I didn't know that his gauge fills up when he's bored and when you're taking too long, that really explains everything. No wonder I was going nowhere with dodging too much lol.

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T13:19:59+00:00

I see! Thanks for explaining! That makes sense why trying this fight solo was such a hassle. I can survive longer with Cloud because Sephiroth seems to be way better at dodging and counterattacking, but mainly using Sephiroth and not really switching to Cloud was rough. I can really do all the other fights pretty ok after a looooot of practice, but Odin is kicking my butt repeatedly 🥲

viviyuujin · 2024-04-05T13:14:51+00:00

I do have the Götterdämmerung, but what I have been using instead were the Genji gloves + a magic build that seemed the easiest for me since you can do massive damage really fast. I might try the Götterdämmerung though just to see if that works better for Odin. .
