lvl1 No Damage Run - Prince of Darkness - Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2

[@nikkobor6254]

Such underrated, awesome game, the only bad parts of it is unavoidable stealth episodes

[@leninantoniochavezdiaz8314]

The first part was more epic and more well developed in terms of story. Don't take me wrong, I did like this one as well BUT I felt that the second half of the game was rushed (from the second accolyte to the final boss). Also I think Victor Belmont was hugely wasted as a character, they could have done so much more with him

[@gamerprecario]

@@leninantoniochavezdiaz8314 because it was, konami rushed the devs :(

[@nothinghere8434]

I've watched this playthrough thousands of times over and it's still mesmerizing to watch, with that skilled, yet goofy and personal charm oozing out of every move and edit. It really shaped the start of my long journey of getting into these types of "Tony Hawk-ish" beat 'em ups. I wouldn't quite say I wouldn't have eventually gotten into action games without this video, it was already buggin' me to no end how their design seemed confused and bloated to me while others, on the contrary, sang praises of their depth, so I clearly must've been missing SOMETHING. But I still remember hours and days of awkwardly trying to imitate this player's moves, having no idea what I was doing and where the heck they took these... exotic play instincts from, only knowing that, I gUeSs it looks kinda sick and much better than anything I was doing. Good times...

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you for the very kind comment and for watching it many times. I am glad you enjoyed it and still enjoying it 😄

[@azistis_5539]

I honestly believe you are the best at this game. You literally know every move and when to use it, definitely the best playthrough of this game. You helped me a lot in conquering this game, I got 110%. One day, seeing one no-damage run done by you for the first game would be amazing.

[@XLHGladiator]

Thanks so much and congrats for clearing it. I've tried the first game before and i couldn't keep making videos because of the youtube matching system. It kept giving me visual and audio copyright matches. So I had to drop it. This game is much better in terms of combat so i don't think we've missed on that much.

[@azistis_5539]

​@@XLHGladiatorThank you as well. Very unfortunate that you couldn't upload for the first game. I and to ask you something, since you said in this video that the combat is excellent. How would you compare it with God of War combat, since its tge game LoS 1&2 are most accused of ripping it off. What did LoS 2 did better?

[@XLHGladiator]

I don't know much about GoW but i know Castlevania series has been making some decent combat since the PS1, GBA era. I don't believe in the term "rip-off" (in video games at least) unless everything was a blaitent copy&paste. Otherwise we may call every game a rip-off of something. The reason i liked this game's combat is because of the amount of moves you can do and the ability to cancel through most of your actions and dodge freely in any direction. Juggling smaller enemies was also a fun thing to do. It has its flaws, no doubt, but pretty fun and addicting once you get the hang of it. Surely, having a character who moves like Gabriel and mastering everything he has would make the enemies look like a punching bag for the most part, but, the game doesn't have to have heavy movents or annoying unbearable enemies to be called an action game. Another good reason was the bosses. I loved the bosses of this game! There were so many of them and almost all of them were so fun to fight.

[@jakedge3]

This is the best thing ever! I'm digging the music too! damn man you're amazing!!

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you! Glad you guys are still enjoying this :]

[@ChubbsRN]

Absolute sick playthrough man. Loved hearing the remixed/classic Castlevania tunes from Portrait of Ruin, Order of Eclesia, and the other oldies. The only thing I could ask for in addition to all the hard work you put in is a soundtrack list of the music you used. Lots of good remixes I'd love to get my hands on. Now to go watch the DLC beatdown

[@christopherhatcher1378]

Btw I wanted to thank you XLH. I made great use of some of ur vids cus i picked up castlevania COD and did a crazy mode run. I was losing hope at ST germain but pulled it together because your vid of dullahan and issac showed me anything is possible. 16:47 boss rush with a lvl 80 hector and ID.

[@XLHGladiator]

No problem, man! And congratulations on both picking a great game like Castlevania COD and beating ST Germain! :)

[@GothicXlightning]

Chizzy H truly st germain could be 1 of the hardest on very hard modeit took me several tries..just try never get greedy & use a very fast atk weapon like the holy Estoc it helped me a lot//anyway all my love to Hector devilforgehe is my favorite NON Belmont hero of the castlevania universe

[@christopherhatcher1378]

DRAGOTH BELMONT My mage died after i stopped his regeneration and I went into panic mode. I locked him against the wall with bone storm and timed every combo to start when bone storm ended so i could repeat it endlessly. I had the ceramic 2 handed sword. This tactic was cheap, but I had no choice but to lock him out of the game, because any cast with your mage down is instant death. The fcker 1 hits my mage randomly and even when i toss guard up.

[@thomasl9145]

You're so underrated man. Following you since 2012. Your skill is legend, plus the awesome editing. Shows how your heart goes into this stuff.

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you, man! You guys deserve this hard work, cause i wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for your support :D

[@smoke4705]

XLHGladiator 55:38 this part of the video is just better than anything i have ever seen in all hack and slash games

[@XLHGladiator]

I am happy to hear that, thank you! Good choice. I love this fight ^^

[@smoke4705]

Fire cover is the best area move in this game among with explosive earthquake and blizzard

[@smoke4705]

i played this game a long time ago my favorite combos was 1 rising whip and then stomp and them sustained sweep and finishinbg with upgrade part of that move 2 rising punch then stomp and then furious punch 3 rising sweep and then smashing sweep and then Fire cover and then rising claw 4 hoarfrost fog and then whirlwind and then flame claws or explosive earthquake move 5.icy crest and then rising whip and then meteorite and then void kata

[@PSN_MICKSTA]

Awesome watching you play these games , dmc/nioh1&2. Only ever played the old castlevania games but after seeing you wreck on it thought I’d give it a go myself, thanks for the awesome gameplay mate

Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy this great game as much as i enjoyed it.

[@PSN_MICKSTA]

@@XLHGladiator I did indeed , is a very cool old game , shame I can’t try the og 1 on the ps store now tho as it only has mirrors of fate and LOS 2

[@Mr.PlatanoMAN970]

Listen, the added music in my fav game is incredible cause of the memories so i hope you have more vids like this since this is the 1st time i see this video, great run.

[@JayTekken1]

1:03 - 1:06 please explain how you did the finishing piece of that combo 3 times back to back like that, I'd like to use that move when I play again.

[@XLHGladiator]

I'm glad someone finally asked ^_^ Hold triangle then release it, immediately hold it again during the hit animation (while dracula does the flip) and time your release exactly when the hit connects. Repeat and you can do it as much as you want. This also works with the Void sword by the way.

[@JayTekken1]

I will be practicing this in his Throne Room tutorial. Great video by the way, love how you made Dracula appear unstoppable but you're gameplay just proves that they needed more variety of monsters, more exploration in certain areas (the garden you fight pans brother in should have expanded to more than just a stealth section). Man I could go on, but I feel the fans should've had their hands on this game during the developmental period seeing as we had much better ideas than a certain rat bastard *cough* Enric Alvarez. Like the Kleidos challenges, they should've had one EXACTLY like the trailer where Dracula takes on the brotherhood army so you could take on wave after wave like a survival. Oh well, sorry for ranting, but I'm going to subscribe. Hope to see more LOS 2 content from you, if not that's fine too : ).

thanks brother for doing such awesome Castlevania I been huge fan of CV since nes I grew up loving them all to death although old school timeline is a bit different than this new lore I just love LOS timeline as the true origin story of Castlevania universe Gabriel Belmont is truly pure ultimate Belmont power!! & the true 1st Belmont also love how you added music from retro classic vanias :)) epic man I do love Oscar araujo music very much & course lady Yamane's themes but wen I play listen to all NES & SNES etc OST it just feel SO CASTLEVANIA

[@realdutchman8362]

I also hear a song from Soul calibur 2 called If there were any other way at 22:50 mark.

[@chrisossu2070]

I got to say your soundtrack works a lot more for the game than the game's original soundtrack ever did.

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you!

[@chrisossu2070]

I know you put in that all the music came in from the Castlevania series, but I would like it if you put a full list of specific tracks you used. Maybe it'd be too much to ask here considering the massive length, but could you do it for your shorter videos?

Excellently made video, man. I enjoyed the game despite all the criticisms it draws, and love watching you go god mode. I really love the soundtrack you spliced together most though. The music mixed with the combat sounds is awesome. I've taken to running your video in the background while I do other things over the past 6 months, so 20 of those views are probably mine.

Thank you for watching! I am not sure if i understand your question well... i can't say for certain since it's been a long time since i've seen this game... But i think once every challenge is unlocked it stays unlocked regardless of the difficulty you pick... Maybe? Since they are based on collectables you get throught the game.
