SotN is the type of game where they way you play it is extreme on both sides of the scale. It's extremely easy to become god-like and own the castle, and also extremely easy to get 'owned' by the castle.

hehe

i just find it funny how people are always shitting on Symphony all the time on how it's "too easy," so i thought it'd be interesting to see how people felt if they played it without using all the goodies the game throws at them, playing with little to no upgrades/equipment & see how far you get
i'm sure they'll be singing a different tune then, interesting to gauge some reactions on how people feel about it. i'm thinking on trying this myself (since I play through Symphony at least once every couple years)

or how about, just use the "rusty sword" and nothing else. maybe the leather shield, too, for a real "hardcore" CV experience eh?


another challenge i'd like to see is a playthrough of ReBirth, 1 life, classic controls, hard mode.

Well, reason being is that there's a difference between difficulty and artificial difficulty. Some people find it more enjoyable if the game is difficult from the get-go, rather than making it difficult themselves, or being weighed down by the lack of equipment or by the game mechanics themselves.

Richter does it if you play through as him haha. But in all seriousness. That lightning boss in the inverted castle without that electric armor..ughhhh

Trust me, people wouldn't even be able to make it to the inverted castle lol.

I was able to beat Rebirth in Classic Mode with one life...
...on Normal.  Got really lucky and did not die.
On Hard, it's another matter.

I can try to do it if you give me sub-weapons and time (I intend to do a gameplay with magic allowed, but if someone ask it to me I can try to not use it), also its possible to hit Beelzebub if you fly near him using bat transformation, then turn back to normal and punch. You only need to think out of the box. Also obviously bat form and mist form need to be allowed or Shaft will own you with his balls.

For some reason that sounded dirtier than it should have to me. :-x

I did a run through with only knuckle weapons when I bought the Xbox version. I could not beat Galamoth without using conventional weapons.

@VladtCT
Maybe its because of the title of this topic.
