ABOUT

So let's get in-depth about this hack. When I say new, how new are we talking about? I'm going to focus mostly on what optomon has done, because we all know what new level/graphics are.

NEW ENEMIES:

 

Panther- They look just like the original ones, but they act more like the panthers from Symphony of the Night. You can not kill them, but when you strike them with you barbed rope, or any other weapon, they will freeze momentarily. While they are frozen, you can walk past them.

Thornweed- The thornweed stays bunched up untill you move in close to it. It the springs out and starts shooting fireballs at you. They take 2 hits to kill.

 

Ghost- An old Castlevania regular. The ghost hangs in the air for a short period of time, and then chases after you, starting and stopping erratically.

Skeleape- These are what Olrox keeps around instead of Axe Armors, and they are a lot more intense. The skeleape moves back and forth quickly, stopping erraticlly and throwing nega-boomerangs (like the ones Evil Trevor has in SotN) They take four hits to kill, but they have a weakness...

NEW BOSSES:

 

Beholder- Level 2's Boss. The Beholder flies across the top of the screen quickly while sending mini-beholders after you. Beholder sprite by setz

 

Slorga- Level 3's Boss. Slorga awaits you ontop of Olrox's castle. When you encounter him he runs quickly around the screen, and jumps high into the air. He throws bones at you, and shoots fireballs.

 

Gaibon- Level 4's Boss. Gaibon is guarding the entrance to the inner sanctum of Olrox's castle, out in the courtyard. He flies all around the screen, dodging your attacks, ad shooting a barrage of fireballs. This fight is intense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Count Olrox- Level 5's Boss. Olrox glides after you, much like he did in SotN (he even has the trailing shadow effect). As he glides around, he shoots fireballs, and throws nega-boomerangs. After you defeat that form he transforms into a large beast. (2nd form is not coded yet, the sprites shown are concept art.)
