Boss Analysis # 29 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

The twenty-ninth episode of Boss Analysis. (and the longest to date)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is beloved by gamers across the whole, but even among those who have had their souls stolen by it and made them its slave (like yours truly) cannot deny that it's an easy one.
Alucard has so many tricks and powers up his half-vampiric sleeves, the forces of evil don't stand a chance against him. That is why many people opt to partake in a Naked Alucard Challenge.
This is where you attempt to complete the game with zero equipment and relics. (discounting when they are required to progress) It's a lot of fun and it almost feels like the game was meant to be played that way.
Today, I'm going to go through all the bosses I can with these rules in place and attempt to triumph over the nastiest adversities Alucard will encounter with only his bare fists...

[@katiemckinney9456]

I like to think that Alucard has an alarm clock next to where he sleeps, and it wakes him up every century or so. But the only thing it says on there is "Death-to-Dad o'clock" whenever Dracula resurrects.

[@endermenon4836]

So apparently the hardest boss battle of the Naked Alucard challenge involves a mutant hulked out Tauros, and a Zoroark that's clearly been to the gym. And you handicap yourself by not using certain items and spells, some of which heal you. Not to mention that you learn certain techniques that you need to get through parts of the story. In other words... The Naked Alucard challenge turns this game into Pokemon.

[@CoryTrevorson4570]

It feels like the GBA and DS titles that followed this game were an ongoing effort to find a way to recreate its glory with better-balanced difficulty, re-using many of the same sprites and abilities. I'd consider the DS titles a success in that regard, though Order of Ecclesia almost swung too far in the other direction of difficulty. A naked Shanoa run would be nearly impossible.

Git. I found out some very interesting information about Live a Live. (READ WHOLE THING) -When fighting Odio (second form), stand in the top left corner. He cannot hit you with SaintAlicia. -In Pogo's chapter, stand next to the door when completing the caveman puzzle. -It is possible to solo the final chapter with Pogo. It is also possible to solo with Li Kuugo. -The Cola bottle does 999 to O-D-O, Amlucretia (it can kill him in a quickie), OdioEyes. It cannot do substantial damage to Pure Odio though. -Stand in a corner when fighting Jackie in Masaru's chapter. -It is possible to die fighting Oersted after killing Odio. Just stand in the corners, run around the outside, and stand in Poison fields whenever possible. Or use a Golden Robes, but I didn't get that item. I did this with Akira, but nothing happened after I died. -Algos's Eye can petrify Straybow. Straybow can also heal on electric fields. -Acrophobia is killable at level 12. -The behemoth has a pattern. It is also technically impossible to run out of powerjacks.(Yes, I tried.) -DO NOT -In Oersted's chapter, it is possible to go through the entire chapter with only one Joshua Seed and one Naorigusa. You can also get 99 of This Thing, but once you either get Uranus/Hash (not sure which one triggers it), you can no longer get This Thing. -In order to get arrested and progress the story in Oersted's chapter, visit the little boy's house. The flashback at Hash's Grave plays every time you visit it after Hash dies. -Claustrophobia drops a Rock Fist. -You can use a Demon's Cloud to kill Acrophobia. I strongly recommend against this though. -Both of the superbosses in Oboro's chapter can be killed when Oboro is level 12/level 13. Suijin Scale is a random drop, though. -Taro's accessory attacks are USELESS. You are so much better off Equipping cube with IQ boosting equipment. -Parasite Sword is hilariously broken. -Talking to Oersted after sparing him results in him offering the chance to kill him again. -It is possible to gather all the items needed for traps in Sundown's chapter...before the third bell rings. -After getting Akira's ultimate weapon, you can ignore Alicia and go about your merry way. -The Naorigusa respawn still works in the final chapter. -Poison damage decreases with HP. I don't know if you knew this already. I think there's more, PM me if needed.

[@nosirrahx]

As far as SOTN not being perfect goes, it is on my list of top 3 awesome games that are also miles from their potential. Diablo II and FFVII are the other 2. SOTN should have been a multi-disk game and should have focused on making the 90% of the game you can ignore much more integral to the challenge. You can ignore elements, status ailments, spells, virtually all consumables, sub weapons, the familiars virtually all of the equipment and win with nothing more than a bit of grinding and picking up the stuff in plain sight along the way. SOTN would have been a far better game if the rich game play mechanics and extensive equipment list was far more required in a far larger world. The castle is fine but there should have been huge outdoor areas and multiple paths in and out of the castle. SOTN feels like a game with 1000 great ideas in a box big enough for 20 of them.

[@dragonhero386]

You know, you COULD make this challenge even harder because there is a sword called Tyrfing you can obtain that LOWERS your attack power BELOW your fists. Because it is dark damage as well, a fair few of the enemies are resistant to it (though on enemies immune to dark, you may require to use your fists).

[@whoisthisgit]

It has zero power, I don't think it can even hit anything.

[@dragonhero386]

It actually can hit things, I found that out when I grinded to clear the game. Tyrfing does provide a heavy nerf to your attack power but it IS usable. it's also the one elemental sword that does NOT have a special attack last I checked.

[@whoisthisgit]

The fights would drag on too long then, and if the boss has unavoidable attacks for naked Alucard, (like Shaft) it will likely be impossible.

[@dragonhero386]

Shaft is one of those enemies that I have been able to beat with dark element weapons. As for Shaft's unavoidable attacks, I have to say that I made sure to buy/grind for a lot of healing things. I will admit last time I did the Tyrfing run, I did allow myself the leap stone relic and ONLY the leap stone relic in some bosses to offset the difficulty spike from using Tyrfing. I'm about to actually try the same run without the leap stone (except mandatory spots) and try to full clear the game as best I can.

[@tiotharius]

I believe the developers did actually playtest this game like this to make sure that, while difficult, it wouldn’t be impossible for players who never found better equipment or anything. They wanted a game that would be enjoyable to everyone, and not have the problem of ‘oh, you don’t have this particular equipment? Better backtrack through half the game to find it so I can progress through this single section of the game’. The reason the equipment seems broken is because the game was already playable without anything, so the equipment makes it easier and more fun to people who like to mess about and destroy pretty much anything like it was nothing.

[@nonamelel1572]

[@Truffle_D_Toad]

To answer your question, Slogra DOES have his beak bash attack but he RARELY uses it. Maybe if he used it more he could be more of a threat rather than just standing there twiddling his thumbs. SOTN has a few enemies that use attacks that rarely seem to pop up. Like did you know the Hippogriff can pop out eggs and release two small birds Storm Eagle style? Did you know Cave Trolls can randomly power up? Did you know Dhurons have an attack where they get hit by lightning and become faster? Some people won't be able to know because you either defeat them so quickly or they just rarely use those attacks to begin with.

[@boxtank5288]

Maybe the Mummy is a Ric Flair cameo? He's certainly Stylin' and Profiling (WOO!)

About handicapping yourself, last time I played SotN, I used a hack to make the game harder. It was quite enjoyable. I think it was called HardType. I recommend for anyone interested in revisiting the game.

I don't know. This is one that I mentioned is the only one that I know of.

[@extremmefan7305]

Did you know? The Minotaur and Werewolf are also enemies in the Touhouvania games. However because its hitboxes aren't as bs, the minotaur enemies are actually much easier there. Werewolves are still a pain (due to dishing out alot of damage pretty darn fast) but Reimu/Sakuya can just fly over them to dodge them entirely or deal with them from a distance (although that's not recommended since it'll be a waste of souls).

[@FirestarHart]

I feel your pain on Galamoth man. I somehow managed to get him cornered in my first play through. It becomes east to beat him if he gets stuck, because you can duck and body him.

Nearly the same thing happened to me, except he did it to himself. He kept using the wand slam attack over and over, which would never hit me as long as I was ducking.

Paranoia, Abaddon & Menace would be absolute hell in DoS with fists only.

I had NO idea that The Mummy could pull an airplane spin on you. I'm going to have to attempt a Naked Alucard challenge.

[@TheWonkster]

The Creature sounds like Elmer Fudd

Looks like sleep is for the weak time to binge this

Alternate title: Alucard pummels Succubus into submission.

I cant stop laughing at this minute mark of this video - 1:05:50 - 1:05:55. Just rewind-loop it 5 second in 55 second mark and there you go, you keep hearing Dracula's pain sound. XD

Naked SoTN challenge is so much fun. Galamoth is actually possible, but you have to use the bat form or the gravity boots relic to get behind his head, so you can stunlock him with punches.

51:08 I think I can explain what happened here. Basically if you look closely at his sprite, the Doppelgänger is facing the wall when he tries to use Bat Smash, so naturally he doesn’t move anywhere. It’s only when he does it in mid-jump or when he turns around first that he can use it to escape.

Olrox's 2nd form looks like damme tu cosita

[@mgcoficialchannel5976]

Holy f### git 1 hour of vídeo? I know its been a time you uploaded this but damn my night will be long i was a bit sad but now i even a bit happy

[@dmas7749]

back after a year to actually watch the video as someone who did a challenge run on this game, using level 1 codes, never picking up HP or Heart ups, only healing at saves, no power of mist and no Shield Rod + Alucard Shield shenanigans, i'll pass on naked, Olrox, Death and especially Dracula were my frustrating memories throughout the entire series which is saying a lot, i love these games, but fuck them in the ass sometimes

[@vezalt1492]

Wait I want to see the one that disgusted you too much to show us! Edit: I just looked it up and I completely understand why you chose not to show that nightmarish thing.

[@greenhowie]

NSFL defined.

[@dnmstarsi]

Yep. It's no Mindless Beast Jennifer IMO but it's pretty gross. And annoying.
