Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - NES - ALL endings

[@0utrunner237]

This is the most bittersweet ending to any Castlevania game. Aside from _maybe_ Trevor and Sypha, no one leaves the castle satisfied. The *CANON* ending is all 4 fought alongside each other so let’s take a look at how they part ways; Trevor - still feared by the same exact people who pleaded for his help, and even after successfully saving everyone is still exiled from his home Sypha - abused since childhood and sold into slavery for being another vampire hunter _and_ a witch on top of that. Marries Trevor but it’s unknown if it was out of sincere love or because he was the only person to ever be kind to her. Grant - had his parents killed in front of him, his city burned down and was banished to the clock tower as a monster. Develops feelings for Sypha that are unrequited or at worst completely unnoticed, and decides to go back to his hometown and rebuild it from the ground up alone with no one awaiting his return. Alucard - at a constant battle with himself over whether he did the right thing by killing his own father, and has to live with this memory for all eternity. The ending theme really drives home how bittersweet and almost hollow of a victory these four achieved.

@James Pieper Castlevania III certainly isn't a masterpiece. Also, the Netflix adaptation is quite different from the game, so try not to compare the two, as you'll only end up confusing yourself.

[@the0tanr]

Loved the Netflix Castlevania, but this Sypha sounds so much more interesting

@@lookatmynose9788 Aw c'mon it's a great game,not wanting to start a War in the comments but why do you think the game isn't a masterpiece? Just curious

[@lookatmynose9788]

@@santana7827 Not everything that's good is a "masterpiece." Castlevania 3 is a good game for the most part; definitely better than the first. But the difficulty isn't balanced all that well, especially in the NA version. And the new characters feel clunky with the NES control scheme. A lot other games in the series are better in my opinion.

[@santana7827]

@@lookatmynose9788 fair enough

[@Galvinize03]

In case anyone had trouble understanding the endings... Alucard decided to sleep off the guilt he had over killing his father Grant helped rebuild the damage caused by Dracula And Trevor cleared the Belmont name and married Syfa

[@gregheffley788]

*sypha

[@99Lydie]

Yep. These dreams learn lot of thing... Perhaps, the Sypha's project failed because Alucard loves his father and his brother... And reciprocally.

Man, those old NES games worked you so hard just to change 1 sentence at the end scene per character you choose...

[@VED]

a pain that actual games will never understand :D

[@VickybabySJ]

I feel your pain but nothing will ever top Wargods's generic ending which changed one PRONOUN at the end scene per character you choose... >.< "YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! (INSERT CHARACTER'S NAME HERE) HAS VANQUISHED EXOR! ORE IN HAND, HE/SHE/IT HAS SAVED EARTH... FOR NOW."

[@AdamYoudell]

You earned it brotha.

[@kingbugs3558]

It can't be stated enough the shock one felt back in the day when you found out Sypha was a girl.

[@caleb9875]

Really? I always knew that.

[@VickybabySJ]

We can thank Konami's american division for that. Their game manuals were written humorously and ofter mistranslated, as for this game, the bio info for Sypha read "rumors of HIS death were quickly spread... etc." and the artwork accompanying it depicted a cloaked person, half of their face obscured by a dangling hood. My little sister insisted Sypha was a girl, and when we got that ending, she gloated about her being right. The memories!

[@bradhedgehog12]

Agree bugs. I thought it was a guy. But that got me. Knowing that she’s a girl. Heh

[@thethrashyone]

I think I realized Sypha was a woman right away since the grunt sound she makes when taking a hit is higher pitched than the others'.

[@LimePopsicle6Pack]

Same here! Something I noticed on replay is that the menu choices refer to Sypha as "him" when you first recruit her, being either an oversight or meant to mislead the player.

[@amso7169]

I’m glad I got the canon ending on my first playthrough. I didn’t even know the Sypha ending was the one that helped continue the story until now.

[@rsome977]

Actually, all of them are canon (apart from the alone one)

[@LoveFor298Yen]

All 4 did it together, or at least met each other (as confirmed by SoTN).

[@raveast]

​@@LoveFor298Yenbut they're fake in SoTN

[@cezarjulian0320]

@@raveastyes, but the game still confirms it. Alucard remembers Trevor, and richter mentions that alucard fought alongside his ancestor. Syphas ending is the only one that confirms Trevor had children, so that’s at least 2 endings confirmed

[@chrisbertrand7156]

Trevor and Sypha ending is my favourite ending

Mine too. So cute

I wonder if They became a couple and got married?

[@spotsthecat7913]

@@bradhedgehog12 they are, but no, Simon is likely Trevor's descendant. There's around 200 years gap between them, so it's impossible that Simon is Trevor's and Sypha's son

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

If you choose to go it alone: "In the shadows, a person watches the castle fall. Trevor must go for now but he hopes someday he will get the respect that he deserves." With Grant: "Both feel their friendship is stronger since they worked together to rid Wallachia city of evil. Grant will start to rebuild the damaged areas of the city." With Sypha: "Sypha, the vampire killer, has had a bad life, but since she met Trevor she is beginning to feel more comfortable with herself." With Alucard: "The battle was won by Trevor and Alucard, but Alucard feels guilty because he killed his real father. Trevor realizes this as he stands there thinking about Alucard."

@@digitalcreampie4298 Did he return to any Castlevania after 3?

[@King_Jimbo]

The only ending I never went for was Sypha’s because I thought she was the most difficult of the three to use. If I only had known just how meaningful that ending would have been for me as a child… I’ll be doing one more play through now, the right way ❤

[@thespacewarrior7126]

Too bad you can't recruit all three

[@Galvinize03]

@Dark Clue YT Can't wait for it!

[@ruv2323]

This ending with 3 partners could be really canon. I wish that in remake you can do such a thing.

[@VickybabySJ]

It was worse recruiting one and then dumping him/her for another...made me feel bad! lol

[@treyowen9213]

Trevor x Sypha forever. ❤

[@Trainy2]

She was finally beginning to feel more comfortable with herself since she met Trevor. Sounds like the seeds of love to me.

[@zamaskowany12]

Can't wait for Castlevania season 2 :D

[@red_7557]

They got married and the Belmont lineage continued, 100 years later Dracula revives and it is Christopher's turn to kill him again

[@bracketd_oom2033]

and that's how the future Belmonts get their magic ability

[@zerstorungdeslichts4706]

The ending with grant "both feel their friendship is stronger" sounds like a better ship than sypha

[@Zestybeef]

TREVOR REALIZES THIS AS HE STANDS THERE THINKING ABOUT ALUCARD.

[@KarmaJolt]

Never understood why the final boss is some weird bird statue thing. Maybe it's a Chozo??

[@aruhe6650]

it was most likely inspired by the demon pazuzu statue from the movie "The Exorcist"

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

How the in the blazing fuck , does that look like a bird ? It's either a lizard with eagle wings or most logically a humanoid dragon . And it's Dracula's 3rd/final form .

[@madisonwolfe777]

And by many sacrifices the game ACTUALLY means Trevor sacrificed many 1ups

[@VentusOath]

When i finish this game i never found the another characters :( this game deserves a remake

[@thememeboimcmeme7666]

I have good news :) There a remake for the first 8 games on the switch

[@doubledio3061]

So sypha’s ending is the canon one right ?

[@arkanjoteixeira]

The canon is that all 4 of them fought together

[@baguetteotaku3834]

They are all canon I know it weird but it true

[@GamerFromJump]

The canon ending is a combination of the three pair endings: Trevor and Sypha end up together, as the 6-generation ancestors of Simon Belmont from Castlevania 1, 2, and 4. The Belnades line also continues (either from a sibling of Sypha or a descendant who decides to carry that name as a designator for the “magic” branch of the family, counterparts to the “warrior” Belmonts) down to Yoko Belnades. Grant strikes out to help in rebuilding. Alucard goes into hibernation until _Symphony of the Night._

[@spotsthecat7913]

All partner ending is canon, man. Kinda like Dragon Break in TES : Daggerfall, which all ending is happening, but instead of time magic fuckery, in the canon they fought as a 4-men group and dubbed Legendary Warriors

[@civilwildman]

Beaten this game 3 times so far on the 3DS via the eShop, once with each companion. Hoping to get the solo ending if I can find the time and skill to do it alone.

No, Warren Ellis admitted in an interview that he never played games or even looked at them. Everything he wrote for the series is based on reading Wikipedia and fanpages, which is far from being a real sensory experience with games.
