Oh...heh never played hard mode

Get Death's soul

Forge into a weapon.

Honestly, Death scythe in DoS isnt all its cracked up to be. (first of all, it dont have the kickass look it had in AoS) and second, it is pretty slow this time around...

Anyway, best weapon in AoS is Claim Solais (I think thats how you spell it) that and Valmanway, as it hits multiple times and is usable while moving.

I had no problems with the Claimh Solais in DoS. It kicked ass. that sword. Moe people should use that instead of OMG DEATH'S SCYTHE!

[Blackhook]

Well I liked that big sword you find on a ghost ship in AoS..forgot it´s name

[Satoryu]

That's Claimh Solias.

Death's Scythe isn't as useful cause half the enemies are weak to holy. But based on pure strength, yeah, Death's Scythe is better. And it's not all that much slower than CS.

Then again, I'd be backdash cancelling etc. big weapons all the time, so cooldown period is not an issue anymore.

[Mirby]

Yeah, it's an awesome weapon. Why do you think I love it?

It's part of the reason it's my weapon in the RPMvania roleplay.

Hitspeed is though. But then, that's what you got the katanas for. 3-hit combo O-T-G!

I really just liked the Axes. they were cool looking. Even if a bit slow, and the souls for the Axes seemed to be the easiest to come by early on. So I ended up with a souped up Axe really early in. the other enemies were further into the game, so I never really bothered.

The good thing about the scythe in DoS though, is that its good even against Dark element enemies. And  it has a kick ass special, which I think is the second strongest attack in the game after Skull Archer's FULLY charged arrow

[Blackhook]

Axes are really useful in DOS early on, Georgth´s gas could be dodged thanks to an axe

Aria of Sorrow is a lot harder than I first remember, probably because items, beating bosses, and saving are the only way I can restore HP.

[Mirby]

How about buying some potions? Or finding the HP Up potions?

The farthest I've gotten right now is the... study? I think it was. I haven't found anyone selling wares yet.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Aria is steamroll easy. I've been replaying it with only equipping new weapons and luck modifiers. It still feels too easy at times.

[Mirby]

Try leveling some, Spectro. That usually helps.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Yeah. Keep going and level a little, houseplant. You're actually just before the merchant part too.

Well, I was doing some pseudo-grinding (i.e. I keep killing stuff that I see while wandering throughout the whole god [tornado fang]ing damn castle because I don't know where to go), but I keep running into enemies and their attacks.
I'm too reckless.

[Mirby]

Yeah, that tends to be a problem.

Try learning some strategy, Spectro. That usually helps.

Strategy?

In platformers?

 

[OBJECTION MAN]

Stick and move. Castlevania enemies are typically dumb and slow. Hit once or twice and then get out of there. It can be slower, but, repeating that pattern will grant you a win.

[Mirby]

Do you walk right into a goomba? A kremling? A scrubbing bubble? No, you kill them with a strategy. The same applies here.

[Flame]

because I don't know where to go),

Am i the only one who never has this problem?

[OBJECTION MAN]

I only got really lost in Symphony. All the others were pretty obvious on where to go next.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Am i the only one who never has this problem?

Okay, I'm sorry, but when you have this expansive space to explore at the [tornado fang]ing outset of the game, it's a little overwhelming, and it makes me unwilling to go farther than when armors start appearing in place of bats.

No, I'm not angry, just... I'm not really as good at games as others.

It was just a little tirade... and stuff. Don't take it personal.

[Flame]

Personally I find it welcoming. Like it gives me total freedom to go where I want. Its very far from linear that way. (even though its order is still pretty linear)

[Mirby]

I got lost in Dawn of Sorrow for a while, but I eventually found my way by checking a small area I hadn't really explored before.
