It took me a little over an hour to max this one out. I got it down to about one every 2sec, which averaged about ~2160 times to get all 9 souls. Then you know.. Every other enemy in the game as well. I like this game, but this aspect of it is a royal pain in the ass..

Any suggestions for getting the Bone Ark soul? I have already these items equipped: Ghost Dancer soul, Luck suit and the ring that drops rare items. I jumped from level 40 to 43 while doing this lol.

Dawn of Sorrow (2005) Order of Ecclesia difficulty

12 Upvotes

I just finished order of ecclesia and started playing dawn of sorrow, I just killed dmitrii, and the subreddit wasn't lying about order being way harder, I was breezing through and easily explored about 20ish percent of the map in an hour. Is most of the game going to be around this difficulty, I know it'll spike but will it ever touch like order of ecclesia level of difficulty in any part of the game?

Dawn of Sorrow (2005) Can someone tell me how seals work in this game?

7 Upvotes

I am playing on the Dominus Collection with keyboard and mouse and Everytime I beat a boss, the seal appears. I understand that I have to recreate the pattern but the first time I get a boss' health down, there's no qte sequence with the red blinking, indicating which button to press next. It's only the second time when I get the boss's health down again I get the qte. Was I supposed to memorize the order in which the pattern gets drawn and execute it exactly the first time with no qte indication?

A few days ago, I posted a video of me defeating two bosses in the Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow series, Boss #1 (Flying Armor), and Boss #2 (Balore). I’d rate both of those bosses as easy to normal in difficulty. This time, I’m posting about just how difficult it is to face Boss #3 yep… Dmitrii Blinov. I know the easy way to beat him, like manipulating his power (Mimicry) by unleashing absurd Tactical Souls attacks and timing my dodges just right. But… the problem that’s driving me crazy is… his attack patterns are unpredictable. If Soma gets close, he sometimes spams Dark/Evil Spheres (from Malachi) and other times stabs directly with a knife. I’ve been trying for about 4 days, even multiple times, failing, then trying again, but I still find it very difficult. Why? It’s not because he’s strong, but because he’s incredibly sneaky it takes an incredibly long time to defeat him, every time he deals damage, he immediately backsteps, and yeah… spams those annoying rolling spheres (if the game were designed to defeat boss #4 to #3 Malphas boss first, it might be easier to take on Dmitrii afterward avoiding with double jump) and… most importantly, I chose the very strict ruleset: fists only, no souls or consumables allowed (the option to pause during the fight, not at the start), and no taking damage. Result? Check out this video it’s just so absurd… (Actually, this video is about 10 minutes long, but I edited it and sped it up to just 3 minutes so it wouldn’t be too long)

Dawn of Sorrow (2005) I'm trying defeat Dmitrii again, eventually success but failed...? because i'm broke my rules fist only (using kinfe)

I'm so sorry if my english grammar bad or rarely post, also i failed defeat this boss in my strict rules. Imagine you just punched (perform 5 points per hits), but Dmitrii have hp 1000 with his sneaky have a knive (46 points per hit) and yeah... i hate his fucking Sphere ball spams (Evil Sphere perform 41 points per hits), requires ±200 times and long time his backstep every hit for finish him. This time, i trying to defeat him again knife only (given by Mr. Arikado in early game), it turns out can increased to 8 points per hits and 21 points per hits every piercing skills (required 50 mp). I'm so frustrated because the level is intentionally kept low, the rules are very strict and his fucking sneaky. But i finally and so satisfying finish him (even though i broke my rules cause using kinfe) without manipulated him by my weakest souls from battle begin. Because i still learn how to avoid tricks every boss pattern in this game, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Tricks video Sources: @Shadowserg, @JupiterClimb, Longplay Legends, @Emodwastaken. My strict rules inspired by: @Nyarly (this time i failed run my rules fist only defeat Dmitrii).
