To be honest, every Belmont somehow suffered for fighting and defeating Dracula.

• Simon was cursed and had to do all of that journey to search for Dracula's remains in order to save his bloodline
• Christopher(the one from Castlevania Adventure and Belmont's Revenge) saw his own son, Soleil, being manipulated by Dracula and having to fight him
• Richter was ashamed of the fact that he was controlled by Shaft, which made the Belmont clan to disappear until Julius reapeared in 1999. Thus, Shanoa and the Morris' clan (and also Eric Lecarde and Charlotte) had to fight Dracula meanwhile
• Speaking of Julius, he went in a coma and lost his memories in the aftermath of the 1999 Battle

And then, he have Leon and Trevor. In Leon's case:

• He lost his wife(Sara), went to hunt "Dracula" (that is, Mathias) and basically was cursed with longevity and basically becoming his minion

And then Trevor:

• Lost his wife(Sypha) due to Dracula's Curse
• Got fatally wounded by Isaac in Curse of Darkness
• Got fatally Wounded(again) by Death in Belmont's Curse

It's even ironic that each of this events happened in each game of the "Cursed trilogy" lol. It seems like our Belmonts can't catch a break :c

Im not sure if Rose somehow suffered by deafeating Dracula, i still didn't finish the game (filler image)

Played through SOTN, both Sorrow games, and Portrait of Ruin. Was going to play through bloodstained but should I play Belmont’s curse first?

So I'm pretty new to Castlevania, I'm actually going through all the games now for the first time and I made the amazing choice to try and grind for all the souls in Aria of Sorrow as soon as I started the game. I'm currently mid game (I'm pretty sure) and while grinding to level up before trying Death again I ran back to try and get the peeping eye's soul because I couldn't earlier and I've been here for over an hour. How would I go about speeding this up??? Do all monsters even have souls or have I been wasting my time? Help.

I’m sure there’s a million of you that have gotten this easy peasy lol but I cannot seem to beat him I even went back and hunted down the twilight gem because a YouTuber recommended that with the whip and holy cross which I’ve got as my equipment and still just can’t seem to out maneuver this mofo 😮‍💨 so if any of you have any tips or advice I will GLADLY take it 🤣🤦‍♀️

What is nocturne? I saw a thumbnail on YouTube, and what I think is Richter looks like he's barely old enough to shave. There was some black girl, too. Who's that supposed to be?

Seriously. Nothing about this game is wrong. Combat is fun as hell, traveling around with the whip is fun. Boss fights are flashy but not 20 tries to complete. I loved the puzzles, and clue system felt exciting to me.

It has everything I would want from a Classic/Metroidvania fused Castlevania.

But I get no satisfaction when it comes to challenge which hurts my reception of this game. (It's not something I will critize the game for having since that seems to be what gamers want these days. I just don't get it myself.)

Had to edit this post a few times. I took out a section because it felt like I was bragging and that's not at all what I want to do.

Sylpha Belnades... Maria Renard... Sonia Belmont... Yoko Belnades... Charlotte Aulin... Shanoa... And now Rose Belmont...

Not counting of course Characters like Carmilla who were only Playable in that Fighting Game Castlevania Judgement since that barely counts lol... XD

Did I miss anyone? :)

Who do you think is the most Popular Gal among the Playable Characters? :)

I personally think it is Maria Renard due to her appearing the most in several Entries and at different Ages too ( Kid and Young Adult ) and being the closest thing to Alucard having a Canonical Love Interest since Sonia Belmont was removed from the Main Canon...

Shanoa seems to have a fair amount of Fans too...

Sylpha became more Popular after the Animation I suppose but before that didn't feel like it much going only by the Games but she was technically the First Playable Female Character in Castlevania...

What do you think? :o

I don't really like them, found the solution myself for all but the organic one, specially because the text you get with it means nothing at all.

Mercury-lungs

Jupiter-liver

????-blood

what does that even mean? spend 30 minutes trying to figure out a meaning for this, gave up and went to search online, turns out you need to connect the head and hand solution with a line in the middle, making this text entirely meaningless, why write anything if thats the case?

I'm at 99.2 exploration and there's this humungous cloud floating there, kind of driving me insane.

AWESOME! : D I will finally be able to play Symphony of the Night without having to worry about missing Stuff from any Versions now... ^_^ :3

This is arguably even better than an Official PC Port to Steam or something since I doubt Konami would include all the Content from ALL Previous Versions of the Game into one Game like this... ^_^

I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up yet but make sure to visit Trevor in Notre Dame after you get the final Arcana for some extra dialogue.

Also, if you talk to Trevor a few more times, he'll have something to say about every other Arcana. A lot of them try to respond, but only Rose can hear them.

I can't seem to find a lever anywhere and fear I might be overlooking something please help.

For anyone using keyboard and mouse i suggest you replace the c button with the mouse wheel button better be the scrolling one , first of all its hard to use the c with space sometimes also for some reason they dont work together most of the time wich can cost you your life in the game (also if you have vjoy instaled in your pc remove its what causing the menu and map cursor problem)

Castlevania Steelbook up on Amazon uk

finished BC recently and one thing ive been wondering is why brauner isnt olrox instead

my memory could be failing me but didnt brauner get turned into a vampire just shortly before the events of PoR? and since thats so much further in the future, is the brauner family just historically affiliated with dracula? or is it like the same guy reincarnated??? it just seems so strange to me

when i saw him in promo before the game released i was sure it was like nosferatu or maybe olrox returning, esp its earlier in the timeline and brings back some old school drac minions like carmilla and medusa and isaac (timeline wise)

anyone else have any thoughts on this? brauners card was also one of the few i didnt do all the works of mercy on so maybe i just missed out on some juicy lore lol
