Topic: Times You've Gone "WTF?!"

[Sindra]

So you're playing a Castlevania game, and something happens that completely astounds you. It could be a sequence in the game that either makes your jaw drop right then and there, or maybe it's a bit that doesn't hit you right away, but gives you a bout of Fridge Logic later that day, or maybe it's even something that happens that really should NOT have happened that flabergasts you into either a blank wonderment or complete WTF moment.

So the other night, I'm watching a friend of mine play my copy Symphony of the Night that I had let him borrow, as he'd not played much Castlevania before and was interested in the Metroidvania stuff. So he's going along, and I'm giving him various tips and tricks and such, and he eventually gets the Jewel Sword. I explain what happens with it and the random drops, and told him the most he'll get are zircons, with the occasional Aquamarine and maybe a Turquoise or Onyx on the rare occurrence.

Two enemies-in after he gets the sword, he gets a diamond drop. Something I've never had happen to me in all my jewel grinding in that game, ever.

I start gasping and jabbering, not making sense with ym random shouts of "What the fuck?!!!", and he's like "Is that good that I got a diamond right away?".

Beyond wanting to murder him for his doing something I'd never had happen to me, right off the bat no less, that is probably the first instance I have been totally in shock from a game in the Castlevania series in ANY regard.

With me, the last this happened was when I was playing a copy of Symphony of the Night on my (now ex)girlfriend's X360.
I'm playing as Alucard, and I did... something... while transforming into a Bat.  I had picked up a LifeMaxUp or something on the Reverse Outer Wall.
Alucard started to fly, but never turned into a bat.  He stayed 'crouching'.  Even crazier was when I'd use the Bat Fire he'd just 'spit' it, hahaha.

Castlevania SOTN bat glitch

Later on I found out that it's a common glitch, but it was still a super-random WTF moment for us.

People who don't like my Castlevania fanfiction make me go WTF.

[Arcraith]

Mine was more of an amused WTF when I found out that you could make a persephone's skirt blow up in the wind in DoS using that whirlwind soul. Yeah I had fun taunting them poor persephones =D

*raises hand* Never did like corruption fics.
Oh, and for my WTF moment, it was the first time I got killed by a Double Hammer in OoE. My brain lagged for a second, thinking "...what the hell just killed me."
Or, if fangames count, when I found out that Ronald McDonald was chosen as this year's April Fools guest fighter in Serio's CV Fighter. My brain actually crashed at that time.

every save point in the Resurrection DLC that involves following the Forgotten One made me go WTF (just tried some new spots today).  it takes me a while to take in my surroundings and figure out where it is i'm supposed to go.  and if i didn't figure it out in 3 seconds, i'd die.  then repeat that twenty times, waiting for it to load the level each time, until i finally get what it is they want me to do.  oiiiiii.

The first time I played through Simon's Quest (I was 12) and found some guy talking about a Graveyard Duck. I was extremely disappointed that the Graveyard Duck was just another guy.

Also around the same time, reading a shitty Xeroxed Dracula's Curse manual that came with my second-hand copy from some rental store. I marveled at the fucking terrible puns.

Well, the first time I met Gergoth in DoS I was really disgusted and shocked. First I thought it was a crooked penis with legs and teeth. I just stared at it doing its thing and was killed shortly thereafter. It's still the ugliest creature I've ever seen in a videogame, and is a definite WTF moment for me.

The fact that the skin on its head is practically foreskin doesn't help either. Phallic dinos FTW!

[Chernabogue]

Some monsters made me go "WTF?", with their silly faces.

@Jorge: Nice glitch!!

[Dark Nemesis]

The last time i went WTF, was when i was playing Order of Ecclesia  for the first time, fighting Goliath, when he cornered me and started to punch me like a hurricane, i just went WTF?

[JR]

Probably those undead fetus things that popped out of the jars in Chronicles are what gave me the most memorable WTF moment. At least I think that's what those were.

Either that or trying to figure out how in the hell to avoid/deal damage on Koranot/Golem/whatever the first time I played Haunted Castle. That's might be the most awkward boss battle I've ever seen in the series. Now it's starting to piss me off just thinking about it. 

[knightmere]

My WTF moment was trying to figure out how the hell to beat Eligor on albus mode lvl 1 hard...  It probably took me over 30 tries to beat him.

[whitedragon_nall]

When you enter the final boss room in PoR and....

(click to show/hide)

you end up having to fight Death and Drac at the same time. Then, they "fuse".

It was a good kind of WTF though.

[crisis]

The very first time i've seen Alucard turn into a gargoyle statue, i said WTF!


a classic WTF moment starts at 0:30

Haunted Castle - Beginning of Stage 3


Finding out Soma is Dracula reincarnated is a supreme WTF moment

Isaac stabbing Trevor then kissing him is a supreme WTF moment

Going to the confessional in Symphony and getting stabbed by a phantom priest is a WTF moment

Hearing the hidden/deleted 5th ending dialogue for Symphony the first time was a big WTF moment
