Happy Halloween Everyone! This is part 2 of my Playthrough of Castlevania Symphony Of The Night at Level 1, deathless with the Hard/Survival/No Exp Mods on. This run essentially covers the Inverted Castle as well as both endings associated with defeating Dracula. I also will complete every bestiary entry which requires you to defeat Shaft and hit Dracula at least once and flee the fight with a Library Card so then they both appear on it.
The Inverted Castle is where tons of the most powerful items in the game can be dropped from enemies and some of then are infamous for literally breaking the game completely like the Crissaegrim but the Hard Mode Mod balanced some of the more powerful weapons like it so that it doesnt break the game by making then weaker. The Mod also makes most of the bosses in it have a resistence to the Holy Attribute or bosses that were weak to Holy are instead neutral to it. Galamoth was changed so that his lightning attacks dont actually deal lightning attribute damage but instead deals Hit so it cannot be absorbed by the Berly Circlet anymore. Its Head instead of having 0 defense has the maximum possible defense a enemy can have in the game at 9999 so even equipping the Dragon Helm to cut it in half (4999) will still not deal beyond 1 damage to the head even with a critical hit. Dracula has a similar change to the defense of its hands so it also has 9999 defense as well. Galamoth and Dracula's HP also changed so they both have the highest possible HP number in the game at 32000. Unlike most of the game where the damage output of the enemies and bosses on the Hard Mode mod has been doubled, some of the Inverted Castle enemies deals triple the damage they dealt in the regular game so care must be taken in most places as most bosses can 2 shot me at level 1 in this mod. Most people dont really notice it but in the Inverted Castle, there are fewer places overall where you can actually fight enemies who can bleed and since Dark Metamorphosis blood heals is my only viable way to naturally recover HP at level 1 , that presents a problem at least in the beginning until i can get my hands on the Mourneblade drop from Azaghal. Because dying can happen suddenly in some places, i had to farm a healthy supply of Life Apples from the Harpies so that doing this run deathless is possible. As some might know, the Paranthropus can only drop the Ring Of Varda once you clear the game Aka defeat Dracula (it doesnt need to have another clear file like some wikias say) so what i do is to defeat all the mandatory bosses first and rush to defeat him and then later go for the optional bosses as i am now able to farm the Ring Of Varda. The Ring has been nerfed on the Hard Mode mod only giving you half as much stats compared to the original game but its still gonna be invaluable to my level 1 run to compensate for the lack of leveling .Hope Everyone enjoys the video and are having a wonderful Halloween day :)
