Can You Beat Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin While Only Doing 1 Damage?

[@heyfrankevans]

28:22 I really said painting and not portrait... god what is wrong with me I also uploaded a video showing the full boss fights, so be sure to check that out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnLcc4d3p9ZrY5o

I imagine this challenge must have been agonizingly boring for you to play, but man is it impressive. Bravo! You've earned yourself a new subscriber.

Castlevania challenge runs do not get nearly enough credit, this is so, so much harder and more interesting then just beating x Pokémon game with x bad Pokémon or x Bethesda game with x terrible stated weapon. Some youtubers can make them entertaining but this is just may more unique with some actually interesting problem solving.

[@evelynphore7635]

I don't think you understand how incredibly hard Pokemon challenges are and how much effort and time goes into strategizing what to do. No one really does "beat Pokemon with X pokemon", that's something huge channels do for views. The vast majority of challenges are nuzlockes of already difficult pokemon romhacks. Both Castlevania and Pokemon have a ton of work going into them, physically and mentally, it isn't fair to dismiss the other.

[@worstspytf2824]

​@@evelynphore7635 Dude, I know. I've watched full movies of run and bun and kaizo hacks, I've watch MartSnack beat Pokémon without visuals or audio and beat every single seed of platinum at once. I specifically mentioned x Pokémon game with x Pokémon and not just all challenges in Pokémon games because of this. I stand by my opinion that this takes more time and effort then even beating Pokémon games with Magikarp or Sunkern and the fact that Castlevania challenges are underrated on youtube.

[@ObsessiveBadguy]

That Ghoul King kill.... Holy shit, that was impressive

[@the_sacrifice]

Anyone with sanity: There’s no reason to do a challenge run that makes a game as mundane as possible Frank: Hold my beer

[@Romidamn]

Wow. Frank, you're a legend. And your videos have gotten really good with the voice-over. Thanks for going through all of this, just for our entertainment ❤ But please take care of yourself and don't burn yourself out, mate.

[@Oersted_LAL]

Sliding does hardcoded damage, and jumpkicking is based off Player Speed + Airtime - Time Since Last Jumpkick. This is why repeatedly jumpkicking deals low damage, but timing them does more. I think atleast, I don't do the most research into portrait of ruin, Dawn and Ecclesia are my two fortes

[@Spookybluelights]

"What even is this fight?" ART my good sir, ART.

[@LuisDlebugz]

How does this guy not have more susbscribers?

[@jruler93]

The big spring is there to ensure you have the Push Cube and Strength Glove, and as such, you must've beaten at least two of the three Portraits you can reach before going to the Tower of Death.

[@heyfrankevans]

oh, I meant it as more of a design choice lol. Just seems weird to have this random spring in the middle of this gothic castle

[@jruler93]

Oh, okay. Yeah, they probably coulda just blocked the way with a heavy block to achieve the same effect (as they do in a couple other spots), but the spring does stand out as an interesting setpiece.

And Johnathan becomes a dart throwing master after defeating Dracula

[@LordYharim]

Very underrated channel! Loved the video ❤

[@PlumEXE]

Waiting for this channel to blow up tbh seems like a matter of time

[@grooves9291]

You could've gone through Nation of Fools before fighting stella, leveling up to take more hits, and gotten the spinning art earlier to avoid some of her more tricky attacks, as defeating legion is what makes the art of zypher quest available.

[@Missure_E]

you can dupe Dracula's ai into always doing the fire ball attack in the second phase, it's similar to how you can dupe Dario's ai into always doing the fire pillars. It would probably save a decent amount of time, incase anyone else is crazy enough to try this challenge.

[@CyberPunkBadGuy]

actually impressive, still watching and dont see how you will beat Death MOST especially the true ending boss this way without items. Sounds insane even with TAS, Especially since I saw someone do something similar with Encyclopedia only (charlotte Only) though this is not the same but with no items sounds crazy.

[@BoltTheEmolga]

Dear gaud what is wrong with you Subscribed, I love it

[@HungryManPlayz]

Wow

[@erhanjpg1467]

Portrait of Ruin is such a buggy game… good thing it’s still fun!

[@emmastone7734]

32:42 with two people***

[@SpeedStar1642]

Damn man!

[@Quenlin]

Is this a bad time to tell you about the damage stacking bug? If an enemy is suffering from three damage cooldowns, the fourth one will damage them every single frame.

[@heyfrankevans]

Oh yeah, I mention banning it at 1:11. Felt it would make the challenge less painful (and we can't have that can we)

[@Quenlin]

@@heyfrankevans So you did, pretty blink and you miss it, that's on me.
