Death == DEAD. Again. On the first attempt, and only taking a few HP damage. Fortunately, while grinding up to level 35 in the area immediately before him, I was able to farm three or four high mind-ups, meaning I could zap the bony horror with four or five well timed Thunderbird Summons. Can’t help

Except aaaaaaaargh! I now know why this innocuous (what a horrible word to spell!) study type place has been called a “warehouse” when it otherwise contains no evidence of a storage architecture. It’s an excuse. Yup, that’s exactly what it is. An excuse for what? An excuse to fill the area with pointless, irritating, and

Except the fiery lava place isn’t the next area to be explored! While on my upgrade collecting payback trip around the castle (ok, so I was leathering hell out of anything that moved in the machine tower) I spotted a tiny little one-pixel unexplored doorway on the map. Rather than leading to the expected health/heart/mana

It’s a public holiday and I’m the only one in the department, so I’m taking the opportunity to indulge myself a little. It is Good Friday, after all, so only right that I should be listening to my favourite bit of music ever – Parsifal by Richard Wagner (Knap, natch). As an added bonus, Wagner’s

Zombie Dragons Zombiefied! In the end, they’re pretty easy if you use your noodle and have a bit of patience. Basically, if you stand on the platform above the left hand dragon, none of the attacks except the rock shower from above can hit you. If you then set up your DSS to be Diana

Hardest Castlevania ever. So, I’ve got the fourth boss in the game – a nasty two headed Zombie dragon. Except there’s two of them :-/ They’re also very big and busy. So, I puttered in there at level 27 with no potions and died. So I tried again, and died. Then I decided that what

Nyeargh! I never realised how much I must have depended on potions and mind-ups from the shop in later Castlevania games. With the absence of a shop, Circle of the Moon is rock hard. Added to that, there’s no renewal of health after defeating a boss, so the limp back to the nearest save point
