[DS] Castlevania: Symphony of the Tits

Hey folks, anyone else getting medals for beating bosses? What's that all about?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh shit, really? I just beat Eligor and now that I think about it, he didn't touch me once. Can't remember old shadow puppet dude doing it either. Do you get anything for beating all the bosses like that and getting all their medals?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, well at least I know why I was receiving them. Knowing that it's a reward for a good player is more than enough.

He was definitely pretty wild, since the battle demands so much from you (destroying the jewels while he's facing you, running underneath when he rears up, figuring out how to destroy both bows, slide through a microscopic gap between his hoof and the ground when he hops, etc)

I used Melio Ascia for the bows since it was stronger than Melio Arcus. The latter is way safer because, as you mentioned, it auto-targets rather than having to make several short hops underneath him so the axes will reach him.

BTW, another question which has stumped me: What the hell does the Justice Ring do? It says that "Enemies killed increase attack power" but I'm not seeing any kind of damage boost when I put it on.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That was probably it. From the time I posted that message to now, I've racked up an obscene amount of kills. It's currently giving me +15 in attack power, too bad Justice Rings don't seem to stack (like Death Rings).

BTW, I did all the Large Cavern and Training Hall hullabaloo and the rare items from both. The latter was feeding me my ass until I picked up a Ruby Hairpin and made full use of Emperor Ring + High Potion/Refectio.

I tossed all that stuff on and ran through hard mode with the level 50 cap, and just tore through both Boss Rush courses in ~ 3:10 for Course A (goddamn Brachyura) and ~2:30 for Course B. The speed rewards you get are kind of lame.

Eye of Devil counts as headwear and basically makes the game run at 1/2 speed. This includes Shanoa, if you were wondering. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be useful or a novelty item. The Eye of God just replaces the figures that appear when you inflict damage with the target's remaining health. Good for bosses?

The reward for beating it on hard (Queen of Hearts hat), is phenomenal. Using glyph unions like a madman is great, and it easily leaves Laura's Royal Crown in the dust with its stat boosts.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Rest assured, you weren't the only one who felt that way. Figuring out that the elevator was the key and how he gets killed more than made up for it, though. Elevator piledrive, baby.

Most amazing jew boots

For Hard 50 = Queen of Hearts
For Hard 1 = Level 255 cap

Doing the Hard 1 nets you both, but I did Hard 50 because I just wanted the hat.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
