Okay, tried the left platform tactic, works fine. :)

And ya, a new Valkyrie map would be great since I suck at calculating what's faster or not.

Hey, just saw the run on the SDA forums last week and have been practicing some of the routes in the game and ran into a pretty obvious problem that I can't figure out.

On my game, when I Werewolf with the Ukoback soul, after about 6-8 Ukobacks, they'll stop working and I'll just get the weapon attack over and over until some of the Ukobacks disappear. Is this a region difference (I have US version and your run was JP), or is it some setup problem that I have?

Right now I'm using Cave Troll in place of Ukoback to circumvent the problem. It has less MP consumption so I can go faster than the Ukoback setup, but at the cost of never getting EXP from monsters and losing time on bosses because of being underleveled.


Also, props on the forums, definitely the best ones I've seen for Castlevania DoS, regardless of a little lack of activity.

Hmm, I can get 11 before I run out of it. Not sure on region difference though, but I'm pretty sure everyone here except me uses the US version and has no problems with Ukoback.

If you discover anything new, be sure to tell me so I can put it on the site and credit you. :)

And yeah, this place is pretty dead since the forum started around the time when people started losing interest in DoS. Hopefully it'll become more active when PoR is out. :)

Replace Ukoback with something else, unpause, pause again and switch back to Ukoback. This will get you rid of all the flames, meaning you don't have to wait for them to expire.

Btw, I'm using the european version. :)

Persona tip on using save files wen u dont want 2 delete old ones:
go on a soma file quicksave and start a game+ on the file even wen u save on that file it wont delete quicksave data and wenever u want ur old file back simp reactivate quicksave and then normal save or if u want to keep 2 files just quicksave again it will stay there forever(as long as u dont quicksave on new file thatll delete old quicksave=/)

ps: due to lack of activity in forums...i doubt any1 will ever read this...and i wasted 3 minutes of my life typing up a message noone will ever read.
Good day.

think again. I read it.

I'm the one that originally gave the idea of a NG+ on SDA. the day before i got PoR, I played around with DoS all day. i had came around another NG+ run on Youtube (too lazy to find link) that used glitched souls.

while I'm sure SDA wouldn't allow glitched souls, nor do I want to risk messing up my save data, I took some pointers from it. the key was the Succubus Glitch. no, not map warping craziness. just going through walls and doors.

therefore, I have plotted out a route that can beat the game in about 20 minutes.

Intro, Succubus to Flying Armor, kill Flying Armor, proceed as normal to Wizardry Lab, go to the long room leading to the Garden, Succubus through the wall, Succubus into middle room (equip Mina's Talisman after backstab), go to Dark Chapel, kill Dmitri and Malphas, go back the way you came, backstab to Tower, Mine, Succubus in and out of Death, Abyss, Succubus in and out of Abbadon, get Black Panther?, Menace.

same equipment setup and startegies as already used. I'll try to make a map soon.

Yay ppl reading my posts! lol

and heres a helpful trick for succumbus glitch


do succumbus first backstab that wen u come back immediately pausedo 1 of 2 things either unequip succumbus and equip alucards bat soul thing
or...
wen not using glitch souls at all simply unequip succumbus soul and equip bat company soul(to guardian).

also i saw a vid on youtube where some1 used alucards bat soul and valkrie and such to beat game in 13 mins (give or take i few seconds).

yeah, that's the one I saw

here's the map up till the Abyss.

now I realize that SDA wouldn't even take this until a new game run is done. i can handle route planning, but it's what weapon to use that's troubling me. I personally stick with Great Swords, but I'm sure the quicker weapons would be better.

just wanted to say that, until a better way of recording DS runs is found, i'm not doing DoS NG+. my current setup is pretty painful actually, especially when recording attempts at half an hour at a time. i don't like the equpment i have either. i'd rather have these videos run at full 60fps. i don't see me or my family getting another video camera in the near future.

there is a DS2TV type device, right? i have a Fatty that doesn't mind being opened up.

This needs an update.

- After draining the moat, you can use Succubus + Axe special to get behind the drawbridge.

- You don't need Malphas.

is there a way to get past Mine of Judgment without Alucard's Bat? cause my route is supposed to be SDA legal.

This is the only spot where Flying Armor won't get you across the gap. Just use Succubus + Cutall instead.
