October Retro Community Playthrough - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

[GrayGhost81]

So, I got all of Vlad's parts and the game-breaking Shield Rod + Alucard Shield combo.

But the whole right side of the inverted castle is yet to be explored.

I'm conflicted if I should just finish the game or try to paint the whole thing blue for no reason.

I've always had trouble with a few squares that the game just won't give me in the Underground Caverns area; I don't think I've ever done a 200.6% game.

Paint it blue homie. You know you want to.

I think you're just missing it by a few pixels. Some of the blue squares are a little tricky.

Yeah to hell with that. I couldn't care less about making some magical percentage go up.

I'm going to keep playing until annihilating everything in my path gets boring, then I'm going to wrap it up.

[JerryGreenwood]

I think the 200.6% only has to do with room exploration. It doesn't consider weapons and items. Finding all the weapons and items is what takes the most time. Some of the weapons are rare drops from rare enemies (like that golden skeleton)

[singlebanana]

Yes, the % only has to do with room exploration.

Checkpoint #2 is up and in the initial post.

So tonight there will be an eclipse and a blood moon in the sky. I think it goes without saying that everyone should be playing SotN this evening.

[ReddMcKnight]

Can I go through again, this time as Richter and/or Maria?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

You can play through it as many times as you want with as many people as you want...

[GrayGhost81]

Alright I beat it the real way this time. What a game!

In case anyone didn't know, the two knights in the room to the left of the clock room in the inverted castle are worth a whole hell of a lot of exp. I went up about fifteen levels in about ten minutes. I just wanted to get my hp over 1000, not that I needed to. That Alucard Shield + Shield Rod combo was just too much.

[GrayGhost81]

...and I beat it again to hear I am the Wind again. What a great song.
