I can just imagine Richter's reaction: Richter: "Look at this, I've found...Castlevania: Symphony of the Night?...Critically acclaimed video game of 1997? What is this? What is a video game? Why are there pictures of myself and Maria on the back? Why does it say I have mysteriously disappeared? Who is Alucard? COUNT DRACULA HAS BEEN RESURRECTED? I'm so confused...foul oracle of lies and deception!"
i remember doing all this work to get sotn and rondo of blood and never playing dracula x again after that... the unlockables are so much better than the new game
@@valentds I have to honestly agree some of the gameplay could’ve been tweaked goddamn I struggled tryna get sotn 😭 then I got it beat and and years later I’m back to struggle again 🤣
lol no. Dracula X Chronicles is the best classic-style castlevania has to offer. It's a better Rondo of Blood. I mean, I don't know about it being better than SotN, but it really doesn't deserve this disrespect.
This took me a minute to figure out because I remember doing it this way a long time ago, but I played again recently and went a different path early on. Never had the chase with the giant bull thing. I was in an alternate stage with stone and bone bridges that lead to the same two bosses. Top route led to the regular boss and the bottom route was under the bridge and fighting a sword knight and then a sewer ish place that led to the bone boss. After that everything was normal.
richter and pretty much all belmonts up to this point feel as if they were containers full of bricks. thats why dealing with peeping eyes is so difficult and stressful
A good way to beat him that I know of is to use Maria. She has a relatively large hitbox (larger than Richter's), can move faster than him, spam her birds, and can attack while moving. Her dragon works well in the boss's second form, build up some hearts and use the item crash. The first and third forms aren't that hard. For the third, just stick to the entrance, he can't hit you there if you're in the cranny, and you can spam birds at him for a good 4-6 hits.
I tried as hard as I can to sympathise with the oldschool style of Castlevania again, but after you play metroidvania... There is no turning back man. Dracula X is fucking awesome, not gonna lie, but Symphony is levels above this. The only reason I emulated this game was to play Symphony in it's "complete" state. Still, I respect the old scholl style, it's just not for me anymore.
so you can't stand its dificultty beacuse of the controls or what? beacuse that would be like resident evil 6 is better then 1 2 or 3 beacuse it has smoother control (and that would be a lie its horrible in comparasion at least in my oppinion)
Laff Soap i agree but castlevania controls are REALLY subjective, some people dispise 4 for the advanced whip control seeing as it almost eliminates item usefullness but i believe it was made in the idea of sub weapons assisting your whip combat not being such a defining part of it meaning its not necesary but still helps
Thanks for this Video, it's a great help! Symphony of the Night is one of my old Favorites, no matter what, I will unlock it! I've beated Ninja Gaiden on X-Box years ago, I doubt this could be harder... :P
Or you could just go to Stage 3'(if you unlocked it) through stage select rather than going through stage 2... There's a shortcut way to stage 3' on stage 2'... Find the Ferryman below the bridge(before you go to the middle of the level). Ride his boat, survive the Mermen Jumping out of the water, then You've reached Stage 3' without fighting Bone Golem...
It's actually coming to the DS. The developer said it in an interview but he didn't want to make much of it just yet, he want's to give this version a chance.
What a frustrating endeavour this was. It was worth it. Still, I am willing to play the rest of this remake and unlock Rondo of Blood. Only recently did I get this off PSN to put on my PSP. (Hard copies are really expensive).
@OmegaXIII Yeah, his stuff isn't as crazy as in SOTN because this is a remake of an older game. :P And yeah, I haven't tried the PSN SOTN, but I assume it's just a port of the PSX version, so the voice acting would be a bit different.
@KellysterOverdrive well, Symphony of the Night is the direct sequel to Rondo of Blood, this game is a remake of Rondo of Blood so richter is older and most likely more skilled in SotN because of the timeline
Man I'm kinda bummed they replaced the opening dialogue in this port of SotN, the PSP can run SotN (the PS1 version) natively anyway so it's kinda weird they added this, still it's a nice addition
The _purist_ in me agrees with you 100% - But the _realist_ in me believes that (even though it takes some getting used to) the new dub is definitely better than the original cheesecake voicework: "What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets?" 😂 LOL While it doesn't change the fact that the game beneath the cheese is an absolute masterpiece, the old dub was tragic comedy at best.
Ah, what I was doing was recording the remotejoy video with VirtualDub. I recorded it uncompressed, so the quality was best, but that also makes the file size stupid big. Then compressed using xvid codec and added black borders again with virtualdub. Took to Camtasia and saved as a .wmv with custom settings, I can't check them though since my computer that I did it on died.
I may get this game in the near future as a Castlevania fan but from what I'm seeing, I'm disappointed that Richter moves in such an old-school wooden way and has none of his SOTN moveset.
It's really not that hidden. If you play through the whole game and take the time to explore a bit, you'll find it. If you're just getting the game for SotN tho, you'll probably want the guide.
Thanks for the vid Onrar, I definitely think the Dracula X is easier playing as Maria. She moves faster and she's more agile than Richter, the only down-side I think is that Richter was awesome to play as in SOTN but they toned him down way too much I think for Dracula X. It was sort of a let down contrasting what Richter can do between the 2 games. Peace!!!
okey, I'm a big fan of sotn on playstation 1, but is that the game you unlock on psp? the game you just showed us was dracula X Chronicles was it not??
Certainly. I was just showing how to get to level 3' from level 2. Use an axe too, much easier to drop that thing at the end. I just forgot while I was doing the video.
I bought this thinking the original TurboGrafx 16/ Turbo Duo version of Dracula X was on here along with Symphony of the Night to simply pick from a menu, a bit disappointing to first of all get this different version of Dracula X which isn't to bad, but simply isn't as nice to look at and play as the original, and Symphony of the night needing unlocking?..strange...guess the only explanation for this is Konami simply wanted to force ppl to experience Dracula X's new facelift before ppl simply ignore it and dive into Symphony of the night full time, glad I bought it on the cheap anyway just 10 bux.
Holy crap, could you not have possibly seen the comments that you passed as you were scrolling to the post a comment section? 0_o Remotejoy to display the PSP screen on the computer, then Camtasia for the rest.
Soma is nice... just that in the later stages where u get that thing that gives u unlimited mana... + Mandragora soul ... u can scream the shit out of everyone in CV.... lol....
well, what i use is the pandora batteray. i think most people using it to unlock psp. i got the battery from pandorakit com. The process is very easy, because when i brought it, i got a free memory stick with the fireware on it. i don;t know if they still have the sale. and i download games by using emule or bt.
Symphony is my favorite, just because I enjoyed the story to it. Alucard was amazing...I played for so long...x.x; But I am getting so mad at Rondo because I can't get past Death. The evil bastard just won't die!
I don't even know how you can argue that this looks better than any of the DS Castlevania's. so I guess you could argue that the gameplay isn't stale... but this is what? the second time this game has been rehashed? rondo of blood, dracula x snes? enjoy your rehashes
I hate Richter, I can't beat anything with him. Maybe it's because I just got the game yesterday and have never played a Castlevania game before. Anyways, thanks for the vid. SOTN here I come!

Jajaja fascinante....pero richter ya sabía de la existencia de alucard....y lo que sucedió en dracula's curse, trevor y sypha
i remember doing all this work to get sotn and rondo of blood and never playing dracula x again after that... the unlockables are so much better than the new game
Dracula x chronicles should be given a chance its a very good reimagination of the og rondo
@@kirbypsicopata29 being hard as fuck and the only way to unlock the older games was incredibly stupid tho
@@valentds I have to honestly agree some of the gameplay could’ve been tweaked goddamn I struggled tryna get sotn 😭 then I got it beat and and years later I’m back to struggle again 🤣

@@valentdswhat's stupid is spelling the word 'though' as 'tho'.
Anyone who has trouble trying to get this should unlock Maria. She makes getting to the boss and fighting the boss so much easier.
Can she reach the game itself or can only Richter get there?
This took me a minute to figure out because I remember doing it this way a long time ago, but I played again recently and went a different path early on.

Top route led to the regular boss and the bottom route was under the bridge and fighting a sword knight and then a sewer ish place that led to the bone boss. After that everything was normal.
I have to do it all over again; if memory serves, peeping Eye's (the floating eyeball) were a complete nuisance to kill.
richter and pretty much all belmonts up to this point feel as if they were containers full of bricks.

Save 9 minutes and 24 seconds 9:21
I also think the SOTN in Dracula X is different than the version downloaded from PSN. The voice acting is somewhat different, I like it a lot. : )
This was helpful, thanks! First I played just to unlock SotN but started to enjoy it after a while.
I just did this and this video couldn't be more helpful.
thanks buddy! :) I'm following your guide step by step right now ^^
edit: that skeleton boss took me 4 tries.. finally, I got the game item, now :)
Thanks for the upload yo that was extremely helpful I got through all this still the only thing annoying was the bats

@@nikopteros1659 Well super castlevania 4 is old school, but it has much better controls and doesn't feel unfair while still remaining challenging.

"Metroidvania" 😅
@@chrispacheco8590 yes... that's the term of a game like metroid or castlevania symphony of the night
Thanks for this Video, it's a great help! Symphony of the Night is one of my old Favorites, no matter what, I will unlock it! I've beated Ninja Gaiden on X-Box years ago, I doubt this could be harder... :P
Game was great. Now heading to SOTN
thanks for this dude.iive been struggleing to unlock sotn for ages.i was doin it wrong from the start
Or you could just go to Stage 3'(if you unlocked it) through stage select rather than going through stage 2...
There's a shortcut way to stage 3' on stage 2'...
Find the Ferryman below the bridge(before you go to the middle of the level). Ride his boat, survive the Mermen Jumping out of the water, then You've reached Stage 3' without fighting Bone Golem...
This would’ve been a better game if I could use the whip like in Super Castlevania IV.
Much better
Too lazy, I'm downloading a save file from gamefaqs
Wow dude thnx... You helped me ALOT
lol
@@jewel-kun9730 where i find sword in this gsme
Fajar Yehuda using your fucking brain you idiot
Here's a hint then, if you want an easier time to unlock Symphony, unlock maria first, she makes the game far easier than using Richter.
+Takman Klan Killa Yes, but you have to beat the game once with 180%, then you start the new game and put Ricther or Maria an order to play as them.
Hey thanks alot I had no idea how to unlock sotn, your the best.
Thank Christ this game finally came out!
It's actually coming to the DS. The developer said it in an interview but he didn't want to make much of it just yet, he want's to give this version a chance.
Haha, nope.
What a frustrating endeavour this was. It was worth it. Still, I am willing to play the rest of this remake and unlock Rondo of Blood. Only recently did I get this off PSN to put on my PSP. (Hard copies are really expensive).
he's doin good engough to do what he did, he made his objective.
Subweapons are a matter of preference and practicality. The holy water is great for some things, but not so much against aerial monsters.
I wish they didn't make me play the regular game to unlock SotN.
Can't stand the shitty 3D graphics.
Aza-Industries on a psp screen they look great
+mouhamed “mzrules” lamine I think the graphics are not big deal but the animations, they do look bad.
@OmegaXIII Yeah, his stuff isn't as crazy as in SOTN because this is a remake of an older game. :P
And yeah, I haven't tried the PSN SOTN, but I assume it's just a port of the PSX version, so the voice acting would be a bit different.
well you were actually doing this rather well. Compared to me, that is.. Then again, maybe I just suck :P
@Onrar It's a port of the PSX version, with the stuff from the Sega version added in (Maria Battle, some of the enemies/items (like the Alucard Spear)
hahaha this two guys are actually really funny
@KellysterOverdrive well, Symphony of the Night is the direct sequel to Rondo of Blood, this game is a remake of Rondo of Blood so richter is older and most likely more skilled in SotN because of the timeline
Man I'm kinda bummed they replaced the opening dialogue in this port of SotN, the PSP can run SotN (the PS1 version) natively anyway so it's kinda weird they added this, still it's a nice addition
The reason for the change is because SOTN is widely known to have bad voice work and scripts so they changed it
The _purist_ in me agrees with you 100% - But the _realist_ in me believes that (even though it takes some getting used to) the new dub is definitely better than the original cheesecake voicework:
"What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets?" 😂 LOL
While it doesn't change the fact that the game beneath the cheese is an absolute masterpiece, the old dub was tragic comedy at best.
Whoever made the decision to not have Symphony of the Night available by default should burn in hell. This was very difficult to obtain.
Ah, what I was doing was recording the remotejoy video with VirtualDub. I recorded it uncompressed, so the quality was best, but that also makes the file size stupid big. Then compressed using xvid codec and added black borders again with virtualdub.

Oh that sweet 240p 25 years ago
Whenever I get to the Ossuary, the bone golem murders me :(
The skeleton boss took me quiet awhile but I beat it after countless savestates
I know, I was addressing you. But what is your recorder?
YESSSSSS
I may get this game in the near future as a Castlevania fan but from what I'm seeing, I'm disappointed that Richter moves in such an old-school wooden way and has none of his SOTN moveset.
This game is so hard. Why do the contour have to be so clunky
***** I definitely prefer the original PC Engine version of the game.
You can find rondo of blood in stage 4.
He meant he unlocked the original Rondo.
How was someone supposed to figure this out back in the day? 😨
It's really not that hidden. If you play through the whole game and take the time to explore a bit, you'll find it. If you're just getting the game for SotN tho, you'll probably want the guide.
does it unlock teh full sotn game?
Well is your recorder TrueMuerte?
Thanks for the vid Onrar, I definitely think the Dracula X is easier playing as Maria. She moves faster and she's more agile than Richter, the only down-side I think is that Richter was awesome to play as in SOTN but they toned him down way too much I think for Dracula X. It was sort of a let down contrasting what Richter can do between the 2 games. Peace!!!
RoB came out before SOTN....It's obvious why he is less agile in RoB compared to SOTN.
unlokcin SOTN seens hellish
I missed the jump at 9:36 is there a way to get back up there without dying?
I was actually going to make a video on how to unlock Rondo, but I never got around to it, I don't really remember how to do it anymore either, sorry.
i hate that fucking section underground with the lizard men and the eyeballs i just wanna fucking die man
Well in one of the cut scenes he sais "You son of a..."to Shaft.
okey, I'm a big fan of sotn on playstation 1, but is that the game you unlock on psp? the game you just showed us was dracula X Chronicles was it not??
Isn't this only 10 bucks nowadays? At that price it's a steal. There's no excuse not to own this game. It's one of the best PSP titles.
LOL at the end still great though
Certainly. I was just showing how to get to level 3' from level 2. Use an axe too, much easier to drop that thing at the end. I just forgot while I was doing the video.
either i suck or that boss was giving metrouble, i almost threw my psp, until i realized what i was doing...lol
Has this got some fps problems? or is it just a bad camera?
@jd82221 Rondo is unlocked in a different stage, for whatever reason they use weird wording here which makes it look like you're unlocking Rondo.
LOL typo!
also is this on a emulator?
Two games in one this is konami back in the day when they were great
I bought this thinking the original TurboGrafx 16/ Turbo Duo version of Dracula X was on here along with Symphony of the Night to simply pick from a menu, a bit disappointing to first of all get this different version of Dracula X which isn't to bad, but simply isn't as nice to look at and play as the original, and Symphony of the night needing unlocking?..strange...guess the only explanation for this is Konami simply wanted to force ppl to experience Dracula X's new facelift before ppl simply ignore it and dive into Symphony of the night full time, glad I bought it on the cheap anyway just 10 bux.
what did you use to record the game?
Yeah, by doing what I did in this vid in Dracula X on PSP you unlock SOTN as a playable game.
thanks for the info =)
SOTN is the main reason I bought this
You mean those platforms right before you unlock SOTN? Its really some old style jumps, where you have to go right to the edge to make the jump.
Wow, that is really cool!! is it the whole sotn game like on ps1?
Its actually a pretty good game, I would recommend playing through it anyway rather than just getting it for SOTN.
Holy crap, could you not have possibly seen the comments that you passed as you were scrolling to the post a comment section? 0_o
Remotejoy to display the PSP screen on the computer, then Camtasia for the rest.
Thx man that was really helpfull. and the song vampire killer is awsome ^^
Yes, new voice acting included.
Indeed, I would have thought the title I gave to the video gave that away. =\
Thanks for posting this, now I can try to unlock it. Not that I'm v skilled at this game.
Soma is nice... just that in the later stages where u get that thing that gives u unlimited mana... + Mandragora soul ... u can scream the shit out of everyone in CV....
lol....
@gafzycon Well, they both have their own advantages.
well, what i use is the pandora batteray. i think most people using it to unlock psp. i got the battery from pandorakit com. The process is very easy, because when i brought it, i got a free memory stick with the fireware on it. i don;t know if they still have the sale.
and i download games by using emule or bt.
did you see a gangster skeleton..
@amarmehta01 You have to do something else to unlock Rondo, but both need to be unlocked.
resident ds is more like a shooting game then a horror game
I really need a PSP right now.....!!!!!!!
Lol, I don't listen to critics, they're just gamers with biased opinions, and yes, a lot of the time they suck at the games they critique.
its SOTN i unlocked it as well listening to the music as we speak its a more improved Sega Saturn Version to me
Masterful! Thank you very much!
It's just the camera i play this game and it moves very smooth and fast
Yeah, just go back to the correct stage, or unlock it if you didn't previously do so.
Symphony is my favorite, just because I enjoyed the story to it. Alucard was amazing...I played for so long...x.x; But I am getting so mad at Rondo because I can't get past Death. The evil bastard just won't die!
Actually, I just looked for Catlevannia videos and found you here.
Yes you can, I believe thats right near the end of Stage 4.
sure
simphony of the night is a whole different game.
It's known as the best castlevania
You really should try it.^^
good choice
Gotcha👍
so u were saying that SOTN was playable in Dracula X
And Buying/downloading 2 game in 1????
Remotejoy to display the PSP screen on the computer, then Camtasia for the rest.
sweet! I am like hell getting this game!
i like ritcher's voice a lot better in this than in sotn, but he is awesomer in sotn
I don't even know how you can argue that this looks better than any of the DS Castlevania's.
so I guess you could argue that the gameplay isn't stale...
but this is what?
the second time this game has been rehashed?
rondo of blood, dracula x snes?
enjoy your rehashes
I hate Richter, I can't beat anything with him. Maybe it's because I just got the game yesterday and have never played a Castlevania game before. Anyways, thanks for the vid. SOTN here I come!
does it mess up if i ever need to use a continue on level 3?
thanks for the help with this!
