Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 - All Bosses (No Damage, SOLO, Hard, No Ultimate & Subweapons)

[@ArekTheDragon]

Well, I guess it is my turn to destroy these bosses. Took me long time because I don't like to record what others already did. So I decided to try these fights with my usual approach which for this game means No Damage, No Subweapons, No switching characters, using only weakest Zangetsu and only fighting Episode 2 difficulty bosses including slightly harder version of Ep.1 final boss that you can fight in Single Mode. I hope you enjoy this video and maybe it'll even help you if you have troubles with boss fights in this game. They are very hard and overall this game is as unforgiving as it is great. My only gripe is music which has far less memorable tracks than Curse of the Moon 1. Soundtrack is good, yes, but it's not that catchy and it is quickly forgettable outside a game. Nothing like stage 7 or 8 themes from first one. Well, once again, enjoy the video, leave comments and have a good day.

[@ostapolkhovskyi3427]

Dude, you did well! Actually I don't watch videos like this, but 2-nd bloodstained is really hard (for me). At the middle of the episode 2 I've turned on "casual" mode. Don't laugh but without it I would never try to fly on a "rocket ship" and fight against that Moon Guardian. That was awesome! And also ending. Not a cutting moon in half, but as cool, as it can be. Very cool game. Very cool step forward. But first part was a little bit darker) + about music. I agree. Brilliant void - powerful stuff!

This is the reason why the final level is called "Cleave the moon". Which, for those that don't know, that is what Zangetsu means, which is why the alternate ending is so awesome.

Hello guys. I'm the owner of a real NES (at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s). As far as I remember, the real NES doesn't able to run a game like this. Yes it's true, the colors on screen, the sound looks like a NES, but it isn't. On a NES cartridge there's no space enough for all this information. Look at the sprites (the number of them for instance, whitout slowdown) , look at the animation frames, look at the use of the colors on the screen, look at the animations in general ... Look at the size of some of the bosses! . It's insane for a REAL NES game. But yes, I love it and I think it's a pretty awesome work. Congratulations for the creators!. See you all of you guys... PEACE ✌️

I've always love how some of the bosses do a desperate suicide attack when they're defeated.

Oh...oh i feel like I'm gonna vomit looking at that face... I'll be right back.

Are you aware that you can actually counter some of the Desperation Attacks? For example, Zangetsu charged slash can be used to finish off rushing-forward-type Desperation Attacking boss, like the first dragon boss.

Am i missing something with Sariel? not once during this run did he shoot the double red moon attack without having at least one of the rabbit head things dead. On my run he would shoot it constantly, regardless of the rabbit heads being dead or not. As far as im aware that attack is completely unavoidable without having at least one of the heads dead. I wasn't given enough time to kill any of the heads before he shat out the red moon attack and hit me with it...

[@ArekTheDragon]

First Sariel fight was recorded before I fully understood this attack so I went out of the way to destroy at least one of the heads quickly. But in fact, the moons are avoidable even without them. Watch closely right before this attack starts: there are two red flashes. Their order shows which moon will descend first. Go to that side, wait for first moon to fly away and jump over the second one as it approaches.

[@UltraJerky]
