Topic: **SPOILER ALERT*** Castlevania Order of Ecclesia

[schmoo]

Hey whats up with that Redire glyph? all it does is make you fly in it's own path so whats it good for? and also does the wind ring only effect pneuma? how come the other slash atribute glyphs don't get a speacial effect like pneuma\wind ring?

1344 and 765 max for HP & MP?

nope. those grow with levels, so you'll have to wait until someone levels up to 255 to say.

for level 1 though it's 728 and 380 after getting all max ups.

Just beat the game (full ending) today. Pretty fun, and quite challenging. I died so many times, though a lot of that is because I hate using healing items.

Race mode is kinda fun, but I wish I could see what Gylphs the enemy was using.

Getting to lv 255 will take over a century. Here are my latest stats, after a long patience. My defence is 130. At the picture, i'm not wearing my best equipment.

You only have to beat lv 1 hard mode and then a lot of patience to level up.

How to you get the justice ring in the monestary.  I heard that in otder to get it, you need to absorb the cubus glyph and then clear away all the falling blocks.  The problem is that no matter how many blocks I get rid of, new ones always replace them.  So how am I suppose to get it?

Just keep destoying blocks after absorbing the glyph they will stop spawning eventualy(its long)nitesco works great for destroying blocks.

(due to possible spoilers, I'm gonna put this in this thread instead of Judgment's thread)

so, now that OoE's been out a while, what things were not satisfactorily explained in OoE that Judgment might be able to clear up?  The backgrounds says she "is" a member of Ecclesia, which seems to suggest the game takes place before OoE.  If so, we'll get a good opoortunity to see what she is like with her emotions and memories in-tact.  Not that this is important to the plot, but I'll assume this is far enough before OoE for her to be able to grow her hair out really long.  I wonder if this game will have cut-scenes with characters who aren't playable?  Will we be able to see Albus in a cut-scene or flashback?  I guess it would be interesting if we find out the true nature of Shanoa and Albus's relationship in this game.

I just beat hard mode with a level one cap.  It wasn't as hard as I thought.  Then again, I did have two death rings to use on the bosses as well as two emperor rings and plenty of health restoration items.

Well, now I've increased the maximum level cap to 255 for both hard and normal modes.  Currently, I am level 72 and hopefully it won't take too long to get to level 255.  I've also got almost every item in the game.

My latest stats:




I've also got this one today  :

It seems strange to me, that you would buy the guide after doing almost everything in the game. Did you buy it just for the CVJ bios?

Also, how are you still at 99.9%? If the guide doesn't help you find your last room, then take a picture of the map that is not complete yet, and i will find your missing room for you.

If I can get 100% map in Albus mode, I should be able to spot your missing room in no time.

I wanted the guide for my collection. Also my missing room is where you fight Dracula. I've always beat him in a few seconds, so i don't go to the left side, that's why i missing 0.10%. Anyway, thanks for your offer of help.

Speaking of the hard mode, compared to PoR, OoE's fresh Hard Mode lv 1 is pure and absolute hell. It's already bad enough that enemies deal a hell lot more damage than normal (like PoR) and you can die in 2 hits, but they have to add a bazillion more enemies littering the screen, many of which are perfectly capable of scoring cheap shots (Winged Guards and Medusa Heads, I'm looking at you). And don't even ask about my frustration whenever I meet Medusa Heads in rooms with spikes.

You may say that with that said, I hate hard mode. Yes, I do, although I definitely give thumbs up to the fact that the hard mode also changes some bosses' attack patterns (Albus and Barlowe, you're a bloody hell of an SOB, but I like you) unlike in previous games where they merely make more projectiles or move faster and that's all. Still, the fact that most of the game's frustrations come from exploration gets the minus point from me.....


Okay, it may be rude for me to just post rants, so I'll add something: About the names of the glyphs, as far as I have found, they are of Latin origin, but I don't know the exact latin word or meaning of some of the glyphs. So far, here's what I have known or found:

Secare = to cut (swords, duh)
Hasta = name of a spear (so appropriate)
Falcis = a sickle (although Melio Falcis looks more like a pickaxe )
Ignis = fire
Fulgur = lightning (I found it when being redirected to Wikipedia article on fulgurite)
Luminatio = I'm not sure what this exactly means, as I don't think luminatio is the base word for light, but at least I know the origin.
Umbra = shadow
Morbus = disease (funny that it gives Curse status effect instead of poison )
Custos = guardian (figures... the Cerberus IS a guardian)
Sinestro, Dextro = left, right
Felis = cat (duh )
Chiroptera = bat (literally, winged fingers)
Machina = If I don't know this I'll hang myself
Fidelis = Faithful (well, the familiars indeed faithfully work for you )
Araneae = spiders
Mortua = mort (or morte?) means death, so the faithful dead?
Noctua = Linnaeus says this is the species name of a certain owl

The ones I have not found specifically are:

Cutler (it's not cutlery, is it?), Ascia, Macir (I know it sounds like mace, but does it mean 'hammer' or 'to strike'?), Grando, Acerbatus (the closest I get in Wiki is Acervatus, which is likely since Japanese mixes up V and B, and the translator gets lost there), Arma, Caries (I'm guessing it means 'rotten' or something, but I'm not sure), Volaticus (while vol is the French of flight, I don't know about its latin counterpart, nor do I know what this word actually means), Paries, Fio (and most of the Fio spells which I don't remember since I don't use them much in-game except Rapidus Fio)

[Reinhart77]

that's very good reading.  yes, not only can you learn Japanese while playing castlevania, you can also learn latin.  would you mind if i put up some of this information up on the castlvania wiki one of these days?
