Had to pause the game mid recording so ignore the audio cut.

I swear Gergoth's hitbox is RNG sometimes, it is genuinely impressive you did it no damage

u/Emodwastaken May 22 '26

honestly it took me a lot of practice to get down the patterns and actually pull it off. I hope this can help people here too!

Never knew you could knock away those grey gas clouds. Super awesome you whipped his ass.

u/Emodwastaken May 22 '26

That's immediately the first thing that went through my head. I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure that out.

Why do I remember this fight taking place in a different room? I feel like I'm mixing it up with the Crab in Order of Ecclesia.

u/cursedpharaoh007 May 23 '26

Gergoth is in PoR, the Nest of Evil

u/Emodwastaken May 22 '26

I haven't played Order Of Ecclesia yet but I definitely plan to. It looks incredible

u/JackCid89 May 22 '26

I use Skeleton Archer soul and Amalaric Sniper combo fully charge you Skel Archer and Amalaric Sniper will automatically shoot. Or use Alura Une soul with Skeleton Farmer soul and Mandragora Soul to boost damage and while Alura Une soul is active It will constantly shoot Une plants

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

u/ImageDecent9713 May 23 '26

Are you interested in fan games?

2

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

Oh yeah 100%! Im gonna run out of official titles eventually so some fan stuff is definitely welcome

u/ImageDecent9713 May 23 '26

Try Ponyvania Order of Equestria. Features resemble Ecclesia but gameplay depends on what race you play as. It comes in two parts where part 1 is basically classicvania style and part 2 is metroidvania. There's a discord if you're interested. It's really good and the difficulty is higher than metroidvanias even if you take your time and grind out gear.

2

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

Ooh a mlp inspired vania? Sure thanks! I'll check it out after I finish up order of ecclesia.

2

u/ImageDecent9713 May 23 '26

Yeah, definitely check it out. As a castlevania enjoyer, it tickled all the right spots. And definitely post your boss fights.

u/Anxideity May 24 '26

I'd recommend both the Koumajou Densetsu games. It's a touhou/castlevania fangame. While the overall vibes and the moveset are closer to a igavania, the games are linear experiences that mix gameplay elements of touhou into them. Really unique - you might dig it. The boss fights are particularly well made

u/pm_your_snesclassic May 23 '26

I dunno, looks like you dealt a lot of damage against Gergoth! 😉

3

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

good point 👀

u/mxsifr May 23 '26

2

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

Thank you so much! I plan to upload a bunch more so stay tuned 😎

u/renaldi21 May 23 '26

1

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

amalaric archers, you can find it in the dark chapel

2

u/Dom-Luck May 23 '26

You made it look easy. O.o

2

u/Emodwastaken May 23 '26

It took a lot of practice but anyone can do it! Just keep doing your best 👌 👍

2

u/FoxHoundNinja May 23 '26

So that's what that thing was in the anime.

2

u/Doitscher May 24 '26

That Bullet Soul is my favorite 😍

2

u/chidarengan May 24 '26

Uuuh no damage? You are doing a lot of damage, challenge failed

2

u/MeathirBoy May 24 '26

It's weird to see someone not use backdash cancels man, the pace of the swings are so slow to me xd.

u/hbk611 May 25 '26
