Castlevania - Order of Ecclesia (Hard/Level 1/NO DAMAGE) Part 3 - Ruvas Forest
62► Playlist with playthrough: https://goo.gl/zUjWoI
If you're still trying to get ahead in a New Game + Level 1 Mode, here is when the game starts to rear its ugly head.
Basically Hard Mode makes the game hammer in the point: "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TRY THIS ON A NEW GAME FILE!"
You basically have very little to work with at this point and every enemy thrown at you here is specifically made to piss you off one way or another. Add that with you being killed in 2 hits (if you have some equipment) and you're in for the wildest of rides.
The first segment has Winged Guards. Tough, annoying to avoid and nearly impossible to outrun, on top of that they can come below, off-screen, which can catch you completely off guard. Macir conveniently kills them in one hit.
The second segment has those fucking Bats, Secare is your only good option against these things and even with it they can come from below where Secare doesn't cover. After you reach a point in the screen they'll start coming from the left side of the screen, at this point you can slide kick to either dodge or kill them, it's mostly safe.
The last segment brings Medusa Heads into the fray, these enemies in particular are the worst danger of Ruvas, they deal a perfect 148 damage (with my current status) which is instant death, and even if they weren't they'd petrify and anything else on the screen would finish the job.
Ascia and Secare are your best bets here and if you're particularly fast with Glyph Sleeve you can swap for a Secare + Secare, Ascia + Ascia or Macir + Macir Glyph Union to keep things under control.
