[Dracul_Belmont]

lol I know, but I open the spoiler tags just to see how long they are and the spoilers were the first three words. Shit. Not blaming anybody. My bad

[Dremn]

OkOk calm down everyone.
My save didn't get corrupted.
It loaded right after the final blow, it's ok.
Crisis averted.

I didn't like the ending. It felt rushed and unresolved. The fight was amazing and what happens next is good but you will be left hanging "that was it?". The music however is amazing pretty triumphant. Makes you realise what you've gone through.

As a fan, I'm staring now at the credits, thinking about all these years of speculation, readings, anticipation, wishes and dreams.    it's not about tje ending, it's the path, the path not of Gabriel but of the series, a series that played its redemption in one final blow. Lords of Shadow is an austanding sucess in one thing: make you realise that no matter the sales, or the makers, the series is already a success, it is immortal, it's part of us and our lives. Lords of Shadow delivered me that realization. I will always love and admire Castlevania, it's a celebration as it is an end.

The last words Gabriel Belmont ennounces are: Who knows what us next for us. I know. Everything comes full circle.

Bravo.

How does Victor die?

[Ahasverus]

It's unbelievable to think it's over. Isn't it?

[Slit_Zurifa]

Okay a few questions:

Was the Agreus boss fight good at least (other than that stupid stealth section before)?

In the Dracula Boss fight, did Dracula transform into a Dragon or other big Monster (having a second form)?

How was the second Acolyte fight? I hope the second Acolyte either transformed into a huge monstrosity like Raisa or controls a mech. Is he that pruple looking Sculp Wind? I hope not.

What are the other Titan bosses?

How does the Leviathan look? I hope awesome. Do you actually fight the Leviathan like you did fight the Gorgon with Health bar and all?

Not for me it ain't.

BRING IT ON, TEUSDAY!

I don't regret having all of this stuff spoiled for me, but man now I really want to play this game. I have no idea when I will be able to though.

How does Victor die?

(click to show/hide)

it was a nice scene. he's revelaed to be the leader of the brotherhoo of light and he's taking refugees uderground. Dracula spares him when a child with his mother sees them fighting. Victor then fights alongside Alucard and Dracula but when they reach a plaza he says the time is running over and the acolytes need to reveal themselves so he taunts them with a spell, calling their attention and making himself killed for it. His last words are: "now you are the last Belmont".

- The Agreus fight was pretty run on the mill. Good but not memorable.
- Yes. There are two forms but they coexist. And both are pretty creepy.
- The second acolyte starts weird. YOu as Dracula must lead him to the castle WHILE being hit by him, he's very powerful so you stumble to walk and it's very slow. nice idea but somewhat anoying execution. His lead up level was also kinda mediocre with the last stealth section which I already documented and some laser room which is awkward. The acolyte then posses 3 (!) giant mechs and you fight them all at the same time.
- No. Medusa is "kinda" titan but doesn't feel like it. The Leviathan is similar to the Dracolich, but faar less frustrating. I wouldn't call him a titan though. keep in mind that the boss fights are the high parts of the game. The titans ARE NOT missed.
- No. The Leviathan is a level on itself, not a fight, it's similar to the Dracolich. It looks.. weird. Like some kind of dragon serpent with the virus from the Last of Us.

Can someone pm me the big spoiler?

[EstebanT]

Is the acolyte in purple Shaft?

[Slit_Zurifa]

Could you tell me what the other Titan FIGHTS are? (not counting Titan Levels like the Siege Titan who didn't have a health bar). Or let me say it like this: What are the other bosses with big forms like the Toy Maker or the Gorgon?

[Agreus]

Can someone pm me the big spoiler?

Don't. Really. Everyone, try not to spoil yourselves. I'm having high feelings now but it's because I came almost in blank. Those punches wouldn't ad been felt otherwise. The game is amazing. Period. I'm gonna award him the only 9 I've given in 2 years for my magazine. Go, buy it, enjoy. There are flaws, yes, some baffling? yes. Do they sour me? hell not. what. a. ride.

Is the acolyte in purple Shaft?

That's not his name but he feels like him.

Could you tell me what the other Titan FIGHTS are? (not counting Titan Levels like the Siege Titan who didn't have a health bar).

None. And it's better that way.

[Slit_Zurifa]

Okay, but what are the other big or huge bosses like Medusa or the Toy Maker? Are there other bosses with really big monstrous forms?

Do you even fight the third acolyte? The one in red robes summoning Satan?

(click to show/hide)

Also you don't fight Satan but only Alucard if this is true? That would be disappointing as hell as his model Looks really cool.

Is this a Boss too? But he's not the second acolyte? Because he's a mech Boss.

These giant mechs of the second acolyte are Special mechs not the same mechs that we did see before in the game (the big ones that are controlled by the soldiers). Does each of the three mechs look different or are they the same? Do they look like in MGS?

What is your favourite Boss if I may ask?

- All of them are huge and monstruous! The only "human sized" are Carmilla, Alucard and Victor.
- No, the third Acolyte is killed by Satan in the most badass way ever.
- Yep, only Alucard, but he feels like Satan, And oh boy, that fight, as I said before, think vergil from DMC3. it will kick your ass. It's amazing. Satan plays a very very little role, I was surprised, but I liked it that way, it's not about presence, it's about actions, and they were worthy of the King of Angels.
- it's one of the three mechs controlled by thesecond acolyte you fight at the same time. Hard fight.
- Each mech are different, they are three armors of the castle reanimated by him. If you're talking about the MILITARY mechs they have no faction, they are just the military becoming corrupt. there are 5 classes I think. And on of them looks like a metal gear lol. They can be a pain to kill as theya re well armored and have machineguns and bazookas. but mist form rules.
- I think it is the final one, Zobek because it was a traiditional death fight on steroids and the toymaker, but that was thanks to the lead up. It's beautiful. However all bosses were good. The one I liked the least was Agreus but I think I was a little soured lol

[Slit_Zurifa]

What do the Dracula forms look like if I may ask?

Oh Victor is a Boss as well? O_o I hope it's a badass Boss fight.

Is there a traditional giant Military SciFi Mech who will serve as a Boss?

- Crazy badass. <3 Victor.
- No, they are "semi-bosses". Bosses are all classic Castlevania.
- Refer to your first question. I feel dirty answering that. it was such a cool moment. The other form.. I won't tell. hah. bizarre.
