I‘ve waited for something like that. You‘ve done gods work when you did the same with Bloodstained. It just so happens that I‘ve resumed my Symphony of the Night playthrough after months and don‘t have a single clue where I am in the game. Thanks!
Pulled out my playstation after 20 years and was too glad to have this game!! Always loved the Castlevania series but just haven't played these in ages. Anyways, I got stuck and this helped much. I asked someone at a game store about playstation and if they carried any games. He said no but recommended me elsewhere. He was surprised that mine still worked and thought that was so cool I was bothering with it. Haha... I told him it was a bit dusty but still works and damned good fun. My Nintendo64 I pulled out too out of storage. Mario Kart is also righteous after all these years!! Cheers!! -- Dani
when you push the button one of those skeleton guys spawns and break the platform in the room. i think that's meant to be a hint for you to put two and two together on how to break that one bridge.
I’ve been following your guides for several Soulsborne games, Demons Souls remake introduced me to your channel. Imagine my surprise when I got stuck in SOTN and your video was a search result. You have good selection in games. Thanks once again for the videos.
I just played this game for the first time (even though I'm almost 20 years old) And........ this game has a lot of things that I couldn't have imagined, if I had played it before YT came out, I would have spent a whole month just tinkering with all of these things.
One dumb question: How am I supposed to know I had to wait at the clock room to that left statue open? It's a very specific thing, does the game explain that for you?
@@roughy762004 are you sure it's the left? Because for the right one to open you need the clock power up to stop time. If it's the left you are talking about, I heard about a bug that the left statue doesn't open in a platform, maybe you could search about it
All these years I had no idea that there was anything beyond defeating Richter, and frankly the bad ending soured the game for me quite a bit. It's completely insane that they concealed a big chunk of the game like that. Time for another run with my PS4 version!
i was born in '05 so i arrived a bit late to enjoy ps1 in its initial years. i decided to play this on an emulator and this guide helped me a lot during my playthrough, thanks!@
Cant believe i didnt play this game years ago. I thoguht nothing was gonna top super castlevania 4 but i was wrong. This games a fantastic. Thank you for such an easy and short guide. Best walkthrough video ive ever seen
I love Metroidvanias, so I wanted to try the dad of this fantastic genre. I was expecting a game shorter, simpler than most of the modern iterations, but at, roughly 60% completion I'm blown at what SOTN is. Probably the most beautiful metroidvania I've ever played(and I cannot stop myself from remembering to everyone that THIS is the FATHER of the entire genre alongside Super Metroid). Thanks for the amazing guide, I'm super excited about going in the inverted castle!
So turns out I had some sort of cursed Japanese Rom where the jewel of Open isn’t available from the shop/merchant/librarian… or at all… Also every enemy had about 30x the normal life pool which I learned when I downloaded a normal American Rom…. Also the double jump was located super early in the game in the alchemy lab… very cursed rom indeed. But I’m almost to Death & then Dracula from this guide on the non cursed American Rom. Cheers. Thank you I probably would’ve never ever ever gotten that far without the video. Thank you 🙏🏻
I went to the chapel and got an item but I could not go any further cause a wall was blockning me. So I got the soul of wolf and now I am lost where to go. Any pointers please?
I could’ve sworn I bought the jewel of open. Also playing on Japanese version and I can’t go through the blue door, nor can I find it in the librarians store or my inventory ugh….. what do I do?
How do you "wing crush" or whatever you're saying? I assume it's something i have to get? I can't find a button combination that let's me fly like that.
I just played through this game and kept coming to what seemed like dead ends and had to watch some of this because there's no fucking way I could have figured out some of these things and they also kinda give you an ability to free roam so I often forced myself into places I wasn't supposed to be by cheering enemies or dying until I found away around them or actually got the hint and gave up that direction. Almost like I did everything opposite of how you set in this tutorial so by the time I was watching I just had to skip to that part watch you explain or show where to go and I was like "oh I definitely didn't see that"
I say it at that very second haha. It's only available in the Sega Saturn version of the game, and it opens after you get your stuff stolen by Death in the beginning of the game.
So sorry I missed this question! It's still possible. Go back to the room where you flipped the castle and press up on the d-pad. You'll go back to the regular castle.
I’ve been playing the Requiem edition and I’ve gotten all three trophies. For some reason they didn’t give me the trophy “Continue Simon’s quest”. Has this happened to anyone else or know how to fix this , I’d prefer not to replay the whole game again but if I have to I will.
That is quite bizarre. You've beaten SotN? If you have, then that's certainly a bug. I'm really sorry to say you might have to replay it. The game is a banger though and your second playthrough will go much faster!
I’m playing on ps1 emulator and am wondering how I can access the map? I’ve seen it pop up a couple times in the guide but I have pressed every button and nothing seems to work.
It should be the "Select" button. If you play with an XBox controller, it's usually set to be the "Back" button. Go have a look in the controller/input settings of your emulator to see which button "Select" is assigned to, or to reconfigure it if needed.
@@jackengrad if that's the one in the colosseum, you're supposed to press the floor switch to open the elevator there. Not really intended to go back the way you came there.
The prologue for this game is probably the worst prologue to ever exist, you just have to figure shit on yo own, TELL ME HOW TF I GOT STUCK IN THE PROLOGUE FOR HOURS, I BEAT HOLLOW KNIGHT🤦🏻♂️
I‘ve waited for something like that. You‘ve done gods work when you did the same with Bloodstained. It just so happens that I‘ve resumed my Symphony of the Night playthrough after months and don‘t have a single clue where I am in the game. Thanks!
Happy to help! Halloween always puts me in the mood for Castlevania, so I figured this would be perfect timing!
I was doing a playthrough of this game for nostalgia and found myself completely lost. This guide worked like a charm!
Glad I could help keep the nostalgia flowing!

Cryptic ahh game💀 how i am supossed to know about the fire barrel and the skeleton thing

Hahaha that's awesome!! Great to see you again in the classics library!
I don’t know if you will ever see this but man thank you so much for, probably the best guide video in RUclips
You're very welcome!

And........ this game has a lot of things that I couldn't have imagined, if I had played it before YT came out, I would have spent a whole month just tinkering with all of these things.
Hate to say, I would've put the game down after death took my stuff in the beginning.
@@MacenW DAMN WHY
Will follow this guide, playable on mobile and makes it easier.
One dumb question: How am I supposed to know I had to wait at the clock room to that left statue open? It's a very specific thing, does the game explain that for you?
If your observant it closes when you first meet Maria in the clock room so it shows you that its operable .
I thought you need to equip the gold ring for the left clock statue to move?
@@roughy762004 what ring? If I remember correctly for the left statue to open you just have to wait
@@kr3mico335 been sittin here for 10 mins.
@@roughy762004 are you sure it's the left? Because for the right one to open you need the clock power up to stop time. If it's the left you are talking about, I heard about a bug that the left statue doesn't open in a platform, maybe you could search about it

Wow. It's crazy to me that you went all this time without knowing about the second castle!
I love sotn. This video is good. I was going to have negative criticism on the video, then i went thru the comments 🤦♂️

I am an idiot, I forgot about the sonor for that spike path with the bat. 😑Thank you!
There's no explanation for breaking the ice floor before you get the snorkel.
just divekick
I'm lost where do you acquire divekick?also stuck
@@akeilpreddie3066 you can simply double jump and while in the air press Jump+Down
Solid man well done very helpful
If it weren't for you, I would have thought that Alucard was the only one who stepped out of the castle by now :)))
Thank you. This helped me out a lot.
So turns out I had some sort of cursed Japanese Rom where the jewel of Open isn’t available from the shop/merchant/librarian… or at all… Also every enemy had about 30x the normal life pool which I learned when I downloaded a normal American Rom….

I need you to be more specific about what item you got and what wall was blocking you.
Super helpful video and concise! :-)
Glad it was helpful!
You are awesome! Thanks for this video!
I'm so used to skipping parts of the first castle that I don"t usually get double jump until right before the Belmont fight
Thank you very much for your help :))))
I could’ve sworn I bought the jewel of open. Also playing on Japanese version and I can’t go through the blue door, nor can I find it in the librarians store or my inventory ugh….. what do I do?
How do you "wing crush" or whatever you're saying? I assume it's something i have to get? I can't find a button combination that let's me fly like that.
You get the wolf, you get the mist, no need for double jumps , you know that? You can go to inverted castle without the silver and gold ring
There a way to get to the chapel without the jewel of open? I bought it for another door long before I watched this 💀
It works on both doors. It's a relic that never leaves your inventory.
Tysm. I was stuck in a stream but this solved it fir me
You should do these videos for the dark souls games 👍
Not a bad idea...
Im confused i waited for ages to open up in clock room, but its stuck
Thank you for this!! 😊
Can’t kill galamoth doing 1 damage per hit with crisssham sword idk what wrong?
I never really paid attention to levels in this game, but it sounds like you might be too low. Maybe come back after you've killed some other bosses.
What if you allready used that item from the salesdude on another blue door??😮💨😮💨
It counts as a relic, so you can use it infinitely.
Doing the lords work
I'm out here fiending Castlevania every day!
The gold ring disappeared from my inventory smh
I just played through this game and kept coming to what seemed like dead ends and had to watch some of this because there's no fucking way I could have figured out some of these things and they also kinda give you an ability to free roam so I often forced myself into places I wasn't supposed to be by cheering enemies or dying until I found away around them or actually got the hint and gave up that direction.

Ok but like how do I beat the floating sword
Bless this man
How tf u supposed to find half of these
What a great game.
Agreed!
Fantastic video
Thank you!
At 6:44 how did you get the trap door open?
I say it at that very second haha. It's only available in the Sega Saturn version of the game, and it opens after you get your stuff stolen by Death in the beginning of the game.
Hey Johnny, can this game be played full screen?
I believe so. It has a few stretching options.
Im on inverted castle,is it still possible to het all wolf relics or is it only possible when its normal castle
So sorry I missed this question! It's still possible. Go back to the room where you flipped the castle and press up on the d-pad. You'll go back to the regular castle.
Is this the same guy that does NFK Herping?
Nope!

Shoutout to Konami for giving us no information on how to progress
What if the librarian has his back to me?
He doesn't talk to Richter.
I am stuck in the clock room where the 2 statues on sides the time is stopped on 4:49 need help the clock is not ticking anymore.
Just use the timestop subweapon.
How can i make the left statue move in the reverse castle? The big clock is not ticking so it won't move how can fix it?
The clock isn't ticking? Try going back into the room and waiting a full minute.
@@SweetJohnnyCage I already did it i think the big clock is broken you can't hear any ticking noise thus preventing the hands of the clock to move
Probably silly question but do I have to beat the doppelganger to get to the library?
Yep.
I’m playing on ps1 emulator and am wondering how I can access the map? I’ve seen it pop up a couple times in the guide but I have pressed every button and nothing seems to work.

@@Teubai thanks, I figured it out for some reason I literally clicked everything except select
@@Hermesmaybe Haha, glad you found it. Have fun!
Why is your damage so high and armor at 0?
There’s an accessory that does that. Ring of Ares.
I’m just stuck dying
Soo uh how do I properly travel through with the mist it keeps resetting me
You need to hold the button and start very close to whatever you're trying to get through
@SweetJohnnyCage I was trying to get out of the cage from the bat transformation it took me an hour I have no idea why
@@jackengrad if that's the one in the colosseum, you're supposed to press the floor switch to open the elevator there. Not really intended to go back the way you came there.
@@SweetJohnnyCage well it's all good now thank you
How do i get the japanese version?
eBay, mom and pop game stores that sell import games, or on the Japanese PS3 store.
The prologue for this game is probably the worst prologue to ever exist, you just have to figure shit on yo own, TELL ME HOW TF I GOT STUCK IN THE PROLOGUE FOR HOURS, I BEAT HOLLOW KNIGHT🤦🏻♂️
you have to hit Dracula in the head.
White dudes that play Japan versions of games when the US is easily more available... have never eon a fist fight. Cool tips tho.

@@SweetJohnnyCage just fuckin with ya dude. I knew you were gonna show the garden. Still watchin til the end right now. Good stuff.
