Episode 29
Castlevania is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time, and it all started on the NES! It's pretty incredible how many elements that became staples of the series were introduced right here in the very first entry. The Belmonts, the whip, the sub weapons, the music, Dracula, the castle, Medusa heads - It's all here!
So how did this amazing game get made? Who were the visionaries behind it? In this week's episode we'll find out! Then we'll dive deep into the gameplay, where we'll learn:
* Secret SHORTCUTS to get you through difficult levels fast!
* What EVERY item and sub weapon does - Check the sidebars for extra info!
* How to find every HIDDEN SECRET!
* Where to find EVERY hidden WALL MEAT!
* How to get tons of points to gain EXTRA LIVES!
* Crazy GLITCHES that you have to see to believe!
* How to defeat EVERY BOSS including COUNT DRACULA himself... AND MORE!
SPECIAL THIS EPISODE A cameo from KARMAJOLT!
Karmajolt has an awesome retro gaming channel that I personally like to watch when I'm not making U Can Beat Video Games! My favorite part of his channel are his short videos where he explains a secret or a glitch in 60 seconds or less - There are so many tricks that I didn't know! He does a lot more than just that on the channel, including live streams!
Check it out: / karmajolt
Thanks for watching!

I really like the way you say “what if I told you” I’ve been binge watching your videos, going through a tough patch and it really helps
Thank you! It warms my heart to hear that its been helping you through a tough time, I really hope things get better for you.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames you have no idea dude, if I’m not drinking myself to sleep or crying myself to sleep I’m watching your videos, thx for your dedication on this videos !!!
You're not the only one who watches RUclips videos for comfort buddy-these long video game ones are my favorite..I hope you get thru your struggles better than before👍🏽💯💎💪🏾
How you doing two weeks on?
@@teamborange4996 terrible dude today is day number 95, I’m doing pretty much the same, drinking myself to sleep and crying every day
I went through most of my life thinking Holy Water was one of the worst weapons in the game, but it's actually the best. Crazy stuff!
Holy Water is the worst in the levels themselves, because it doesn't do anything to deal with the most annoying regular enemies. However, it completely and utterly trivializes bosses and stunlocks them, and the bosses are honestly the real hard part of CV.
I think the dagger is the worst sub weapon in the game
If you're playing SoTN, the ashes are too good against Beelzebub since it's spreads, doesn't negate on contact, and the boss has multiple hit boxes.
The holy water is only good on bosses
Same. Weirdly, as a kid I though the dagger was the best weapon because I could snipe enemies from across the screen. I also never made it past Frankenstein as a kid.
Awesome channel. Thanks for showing multiple strats, and all the hidden treasures
@Ricky pee pee Yep, he missed a few hidded treasures indeed =)
Oh hey, it's the guy that plays games.
@@mrmojorisin2595 *hidden* ✌🏻
@@jayskicksnfits9372 haha yes hidden. =)
I felt like Summoning Salt was prepping me for this video but my body still wasn't ready. You're doing the Lord's work, sir!
Thank you!!
And for the record, Summoning Salt is one of my favorite channels, I take a lot of inspiration from his style.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames I think you've got the best walkthrough format for these games on RUclips by a country mile. It's nice having feasible strategies us mere mortals can use to power through these often difficult games. It's much appreciated.
In my whole life, I've never been able to beat Death, and even with the level code I've *never* been able to beat Dracula's second form. I am SO PUMPED about this video!!!!
You can do it, Myke!! Let me know if you get back in there and beat the game!
Tbh, if you know where Deaths hit box is and you’ve got enough hearts and the holy water, death is kind of a chump.
I kinda think you blow !!! Without the code come on you are garbage
@@cyrussoxlegion Well, now that we've all seen the video, it seems you're right!
i had ALWAYS tried fighting him with the boomerang, because of where you pick it up. Plus I had it ground-in to my *brain* that the boomerang was the A+ #1 weapon that was supposedly better than all the others. I also didn't know about the candle trick to get a double-shot. PLUS I'd usually get to him with only one or two hits left, because I'd get wrecked in the hallway leading up to him.
This video makes it very clear what I'd been doing wrong all this time.
@@obeyy0urmaster Rather rude, don't ya think?
One of my favorites franchise of all the time
Same here
No doubt!
I think 2 is my favorite. That might be entirely due to the soundtrack
Castlevania for life
You are the most underrated channel on RUclips, period. I’m very happy I discovered you
Thank you so much, Luke!! I'm happy you discovered it, too!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames
You should do a walk though if you haven't already for Faxanadu.
Did it help you get through tough times!?
In the words of Count Dooku; "I have been looking forward to this".
Thanks Harrison! Way to work in a Star Wars prequel reference!
Don't you mean Christopher Bee? XD
@@harrymasonsm You mean Christopher Lee?
@@harrisonpanner355 Ah aren't those names at the end credits hilarious? 😂
@@harrisonpanner355 There are parody names listed in the end credits of Castlevania.
One of them is "Christopher Bee", since Christopher Lee played Dracula in a series of movies.
This was, by far, THE best walkthrough I've come across on this game. I think you're the only person I've watched who mentioned how points get you extra lives instead of thinking treasures were useless as well as showing the full power of the Holy water. Excellent job, sir.
Love this channel, I never would have beaten some of these older games like Castlevania or the original Legend of Zelda without these videos. Really feels like a friend sitting next to you showing you how to beat their favorite games, such an awesome idea
It amazes me how good people can be at these games that were so hard when I was young. It's quite impressive.
Thanks again for the quality content. Awesome choice.
Thanks Jamie!!
I was a much better gamer at 12-13 years old than I am now. I didn’t realize how good I really was until my little sister got a nes and snes Classic.
This and Ninja Gaiden were 2 games I didn't even attempt as a kid. When you're 6 or 7 these games seem essentially unbeatable.
As someone currently running through it, I'd love to see run through castlevania 3, this one was both amazing and educational
I am so happy to have found your channel. Clear entertaining content, subtle humour and a lovely Dogo!
Thank you!!
Man this game is everything for me. This is my FAVORITE ALL-TIME game. Thank you for reviewing it. I remember the first time I beat this game in one life in 1987, lol I remember I had videotaped it and would play it for my friends. Sadly the VHS recording was recorded over when my mom mistook it for her soap operas. the 80s were rad.
Such a satisfying channel. I want this dude to walk around and narrate my life. “Okay, Andy is low on energy and needs to replenish at a local eatery but before he goes there he needs to harvest money and a good place to do that is his wife’s purse when her back is turned. Be careful not to get caught. Now that he has money he can choose between Taco Bell and Wendy’s. He chose Taco Bell. He will probably regret that later.” Great channel and content man.
This was my 1st castlevania game I've played and I was hooked and when Simon's Quest came out it became my ultimate favorite instantly. 😍 Thx for all ur hard work buddy!
YES. Thanks for having me and my ADORABLE CAT on for a cameo! Your whole channel is amazing, my man. Proud to be here.
Both of you are the best bros on the tubes
Thank you so much, KarmaJolt! The glitch you show in the video was puuurfect!
I hope a lot more people check out your channel - Every time I go over there I see a new trick that I didn't know! I still can't believe I didn't know how to skip the first half of Donkey Kong Country, that trick is so easy to perform!
I know what's my next youtube channel subscription!
I came here because of KarmaJolt, stayed here because of the amazing content, keep it up both of you!~ ^_^
Man this channel has skyrocketed up my "i see I click" priorities list. I really hope it keeps growing man. You make awesomely in depth videos. I learn something new here, even in games like this that I've beaten a hundred of times.
iconic and incredibly underrated channel. this is really providing a huge service in terms of extending the longetivity of retro games for new generations by making them a bit more accessible. well done
Watching this Vid helps me further understand Vampire Survivors. This game had to be one of the games Vampire Survivors sought to be a love letter to...
All these years and I didn’t know about the hidden money tricks and the 1up THANK YOU!
Got this game for Christmas after it came out. I stayed up most of thT night playing. Great memories!
I am playing this game with achievements on and i am down to the last achievement "defeat dracula without getting hit" and it is such a hair puller! I have no problem dealing with his second form but him teleporting and appearing at random always gets me.
@6:07 Leopard have spots. More like black panthers.
I remember finding the glitch @19:00 when I was first playing this game in 1987. I wrote to Nintendo Power asking about it, but never heard anything from them. I show it off to all my friends to this day. It still happens in the NES Retro.
Black Panthers are a classic enemy in the series.
There are secrets exclusive to the Hardest Difficulty. I like how you can beat the bosses in different ways depending of what sub weapon you have.
In all my years I was never able to get past those first Medusa Heads. And yet, here you do a deathless run of the entire game in less time than it takes me to bake a pizza. I bow to the superior skill you have displayed here.
If you're baking pizzas for 34 minutes, you're doing something wrong. 🤣
When I was young, my brother and I saved up for a NES when they came out. The Toys R' Us in our area only carried the version with the Strategy Guide instead of Super Mario Bros. So ... we had to save up more to buy a game to play on it. Castlevania was the first NES game we purchased.
Something that happened once to us that we were not able to replicate was playing on stage 11 with the birds and hunchbacks. We jumped up in the air near one of the broken columns and got hit by an enemy, causing us to fall into/through the map and we ended up in the middle of stage 17's clocktower portion ... again, fighting birds and hunchbacks down the stairs. Whoever was playing was NOT ready for this event and we got hit by an enemy and fell into a pit, causing the screen to blink and we fell back to the ground level of stage 11 and died.
Another Tip: you can force subweapon Double Shots to drop by destroying candles and enemies with a subweapon. After destroying 10 things, a Double Shot will always drop.
That knock back “oof” sound effect haunted my dreams as a kid when this game first came out. My brother and I would get so far then always “oof” dead lol.
Started and finished the game in a single night with the help of this video. Granted, I played the anniversary version and saved A LOT but I still did it! Great video!
'Quickly run under it' while playing a character who moves like he has lead boots on :D
I was finally able to beat this game with help from your awesome guide. First time with save states, but now I've defeated it three more times with no saves at all. Feels good man. Thanks for making this sick guide and rock on \m/
I ve beaten this game once a month for the last 3 yrs(since i had my nes) and this game is so fun i absolutely loove this game and thanks for covering this game.
You're me but change Castlevania with Metroid. We should join forces lmao
Great breakdown of the game and CGI effects. The arm actually looks real.
🤣🤣🤣 very realistic!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames ha ha. Aside from the clear danger of making these videos I really appreciate all the details and exploits covered. I can tell alot of work goes into these. Keep KILLIN THAT SHIT !!
The composer of Wicked Child needs to be in the NES Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, if they ever make one.
I appreciate the patience and care that was put into this video. I'm grateful this exists because I really like the first Castlevania, but it's a very challenging game. Thank You!
The Netflix series of castlevania is really, really, really good for those who enjoy such things. It follows Trevor Belmont.
Just binge watching these this morning as usual. I don't know about you guys but I love wall meat 👍
DID YOU KNOW: You can see Dracula's castle keep/room and the clock tower in the background of the third level, near the Mummies boss.
Wow that was NICE!! I wish I had this guide about 30 years ago, but watching this video brought back such fond memories of the early NES days. Thanks for the memories❤👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Kyle!!
"Hit it from below and try to stay under the arch of it's bone." I live my life by this advice.
Finally, some new content I can really *sink my teeth into* bwahahah I'll see myself out :3
🤣 I see what you did there
Lolz...nice
Thank you so much for this. Thanks to your video I was finally able to complete the original Castlevania. It's one of my all time favorites but I was never able to get past the Frankenstein monster. Now I can look back to thirteen year old me and give a thumbs up. So looking forward to Castlevania 3.
Perfect Saturday video lol....this game was badass and from 1986! This and Wizards and Warriors were my favorite, Solar jetman was another, watching these vids bring back all the gaming memories.
Incredible guide, thank you!
Awesome video as always! So glad I found this channel. Thanks for doing all this work and putting out good quality videos! Can’t wait for the next one!
brother your 8bit skills are sick. you inspired me to adopt another doggo i just got a German Shepard puppy he is too small for a headset but maybe one day ;-) keep them sick videos coming and we will keep watching
Congratulations on your dog adoption! German Shepard puppies are super cute, and they're very loyal dogs.
When he said 19:47 "see, this is why I don't take the stairs at work" I felt that
I just recently found your channel! THank you for this video. Castlevania is such a great series and now i'm going to have to tackle this game again. I always seemed to muck up at Death so maybe now I can finally beat it!
The original Castlevania was first released on the MSX computer as "Vampire Killer" in its English title. Also, there was Haunted Castle which was similar to this game.
your videos are a godsend man! after your batman nes video helped me get up kill the joker with how those claws despawn during that hellish wall jumping tower prior to the joker. this video helped me with death's hallway hell. that's 2 videos of yours.. and 2 more NES games beaten for me!
THANKS ALOT!
Been waiting for this one!! Awesome 🦇
Thanks Scottie!
This is incredibly helpful. Well constructed, highly informative, just the right amount of humor, and well played to boot! I *can* beat Castlevania now! (I got turbo rekt by the madusa heads you can skip with in stage two)
This was a lot of fun to watch. Really enjoy your commentary. Looking forward to your next video!
Still the Bob Ross of gaming tutorials! Love the series!
thanks TSG!!
Hells yeah BRUTHER keep bringing out these fantasic vids, I love your channel.
Thanks Boss Hog!!
Castlevania nice! These games are really hard but now I can beat it! Thank you!
Thanks UCBVG! I just beat another game with your help: Castlevania! That was really challenging. I will play Simon's Quest next. Thanks again, these videos are amazing!
Big thanks to you bro! I’ve always wanted to play this game but was too intimidated, your video helped give me the confidence to give it a shot. Beat it for the first time today, thanks for all your help, now onto Simon’s Quest 😊
Once again you’ve done a stellar job! I just recently found your channel and I’ve been binging these videos. I especially enjoyed your tmnt 1, ninja gaiden, and battletoads videos. I was FINALLY able to beat the original ninja gaiden game after that! So thanks for the tips! Now it seems I need to give castlevania another crack. Lol. Keep up the great work!
Another sweet vid man. Keep up the good work!
Your content brings me back to the early days of RUclips, it’s great!
I just want to express how much I genuinely enjoy your channel. Also, you're my kinda guy. I also have golden retriever and love retro video games! I've binged every video you have on games that I own. I'm excited and hopeful for many more.
This channel is something special. Keep going man. You do really good work.
Another great video! I wish these videos were around 35 years ago. Would’ve made my life a lot easier. Keep up the great work!
This game can be incredibly frustrating, but also very rewarding once you get a handle on the way the controls force you you to commit to decisions with your jumps. One of the few games you've covered I'm actually good at hahaha. As always great video, I love your channel!!!
Thanks to your tips and strategy, I finally beat this game legit! It did help that I was playing on emulator so I could take breaks and get back where I left off if it was getting frustrating. I played an hour or so each day or as much I can handle.
The holy water is such a powerful weapon!
Thanks for this video! Earlier today I beat Castlevania on my NES for the first time! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Switching to 1.25 speed and finally sitting down and watching. Ty for all you do. I love that you talk slow so I can speed it up and not have someone super speed talking. Kutgw!!
I have beaten the game already, but you always have nice new strategies to try so I was hoping you uploaded this one. As always, great work.
interesting note, the final boss battle of rondo of blood on the pc engine which is used at the start of symphony of the night is pretty much the same battle as the dracula fight in the original game.
Even the throne room is identical
I'm on holiday and I've binge several of this guy's videos already. He's like the Bob Ross of video games.
Yesterday, it was Gradius. Today, it was beating Castlevania for the first time in 30+ years using your guide. Great job with the video! Can't thank you enough. I was never able to reach Dracula when I was a kid.
Absolutely love the channel! Total life saver!
After almost thirty years, I finally beat this damn game! Thanks a ton!
Such great content. Keep it up. Thanks to you I’m confident I can finally beat startropics and Castlevania as an adult.
Just found your channel. Wow! I’m loving this content! Please keep these videos coming!

GOOD VID&LOVE THE CASTLEVAINA SERIES
Finally beat this game, thanks u can beat video games!!!! The frustration was real lol 😆 had to put it down for a couple months then come back to it, but I was so close this whole time, had no idea how close, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and didn't stop till I got it done 👍✌️
Another prayer answered. Outstanding video as usual!
I finally conquered Castlevania! This tutorial gave me the strategies! Thank you!
Yes!! One of my all time favs. Another epic vid!
Wizards and warriors next??
Just started watching your videos, really enjoy the cool content and all strategy’s involved. Looking forward to seeing what games you do next.
Thanks for this guide! You helped me Conqueror game from my childhood that I could not be. Thank you
Awesome tips and walkthrough!
The axe men have a unique defense/damage calculation thing. Basically, it's two enemies - the axe man, and the shield. The shield takes several hits to destroy, but the Axe Man himself only two or three. You can actually tell the difference when fighting them, as they make a different sound when hit. Notably, TECHNICALLY the shield only covers the front of the Axe Man, and if you can hit him from behind you will deal damage to the enemy directly. There are two ways to do this - one is with the holy water. If you jump and throw it so the entire weapon hits the axe man, you'll note that he dies from just one holy water - this is different than anything else with comparable HP (to the shield+axe man), which would ordinarily take a few holy waters, but since the axe man himself has low HP, he goes down from one. The other is to use the axe subweapon. Throw it and back away a little, and the axe will hit the Axe Man in the back behind his shield, and you can kill him in two or three hits.
the axe kills em real quick
Love these videos bro. Keep em coming
Such a great channel. Awesome episode.
Everytime i watch your videos it takes me back to my childhood
I’ve been stuck on Stage 12 for so long, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You are on another level sir!
I've finally beaten this game thanks to this video. Thank you so much.
