Tips with a few minor spoilers without taking away from the discovery
factor. The few helper tips are obscured and you will be glad you heard
them.
Castlevania Curse of Darkness is a unique video game
for the XBox
surprises hidden throughout the game “Easter Eggs” and are still
present in this video games and gaming series. Weapon combining,
innocent devils, the double jump right from the start, and special
weapons are some of the greatest draws to this video game.
Weapon
combining in this video game on the XBox system is an art. Castlevania
Curse of Darkness differs from other Castlevania games in the video
games and gaming world in that instead of buying your weapons from a
shop, you make your own. Yes, this is a big draw to this Castlevania.
With special materials that enemies drop or by stealing these items
from the enemies, you create your own weapons. Generally, with weapon
combining you need to use a previously created weapon along with a
material or materials like jet black, aluminum bronze, carbon steel,
ether, ceramics, etc. to create your new, better weapon. For example,
jet black creates a broad sword. The first sword that you will be able
to make is a short sword. Using bronze, this is one of the few weapons
in the game that does not require another “starter” weapon to make.
Their
are certain weapons and armor in the game that are quite amusing. A
baseball jersey, schoolboy cap, and a clown suit are a few. You don’t
actually “view” these items on Hector (Hector is your main characters
name in Castlevania Curse of Darkness), but the clown suit will raise
your luck and the sports kit increases your strength. Play around with
the armor choices to see which suit will work best for you in each
situation. It is a plus in game play to change both your weapons and
your armor during battles and between to saturate your stats to your
benefit.
The funnies in the weapons category actually look cool
as a visual graphic. The funny ax is called the Piko Piko Hammer that
requires a rare item to create and makes a squeeky “piky piky” sound
when you attack. The frying pan requires two rare items to create and
makes a “sizzling” sound when you attack. The Deck Brush is the spear
weapon funny in Castlevania Curse of Darkness. You know, a deck brush
like the ones that pirates used to swab the deck or your Dad uses to
sweep the garage. This is one fun weapon to use. Champion gloves allow
you to become a champion boxer in five seconds or less or die trying.
No, not really but these are the weakest of all the punching weapons in
the game.
Then there is an entire weapons category called
“special weapons”. Yes, these other weapons mentioned sound quite
special but these next weapons are categorized as such. The Electric
Guitar is one of the favorites here. Melt faces with your face melting
solo, then jump and attack for the guitar smashing finish! You play
this weapon poorly at best and the weapon is slow but a whole lot of
fun. Fire Flask is a molten cocktail, the Bat is too awesome with its
spikes, way slow but good for knocking enemies back off you when they
get too much and you need just that split second to regroup.
The
importance of weapon combining and upgrading your weapons is not only
the damage which is given but some enemies are weaker against one
weapon as opposed to another. for instance, Gaibon is weaker against
spears but a Final Guard would be weaker against a mace.
Weapon
types effect how your innocent devils evolve or mature. The innocent
devils are helpers or friends you find throughout the game to assist
you during battles and for healing. The base battle type innocent
devil, Magnard, will evolve into either a Speedmail or Golem depending
on which weapon is used and then those will evolve into something else.
The Golem will mature into the Legendary Iytei (pronounced E-Tay) or
Juggernaut first and then into the Legendary Ironside or Legendary
Liquid Golem.
Legendaries are apex predators and do not evolve
anymore. Iytai is the weakest of the Legendary Battle type innocent
devils but is most useful. Each type of innocent devil can do it’s own
thing. Some fairy types open chests and heal you. Their are four
Legendary Fairy types and each has it’s own special ability. One has an
ability called “Press It and See” which you need to get to a secret
area in the game to enable. Another can read ancient runes on the walls
and one more can make you invisible. The fourth Fairy type is the
Legendary and is going to remain a mystery. It is a task just getting
the innocent devils or ID’s to Legendary status.
Bird type ID’s
have five Legendaries and the Bird does what you’d think, allows you to
fly over short distances. Mage types has four Legendaries and can stop
time with one able to purify undead. Those pesky Blood Skellies won’t
die without it! The Devil types have only one Legendary and you need a
weapon called the Chauve Souris. Oops, enough spoilers but it certainly
is a needed piece of information and will save you from visiting Game
Faqs more than necessary.
You can have only one innocent devil
out at any given time in your particular deck with you at all times,
you can carry six. The others get stored at Julia’s Shop located in
Baljhet Mountains for your safe keeping and to breed them. While these
innocent devils fight they drop things called devil shards. By devil
forging allows you to create a new ID of the same type as the parent
and the spawn will become become stronger than the parent! Taking the
devil shards to Julia and either selling them or forging them will gain
you money or a new innocent devil.
The premiere elite Battle type
innocent devil would be an Ironside for three consecutive generations,
being born from a level sixty Ironside that dropped the devil shard
each time. This would be impressive on its own but, after the third
generation Ironside , have it drop a level sixty devil shard and breed
that one as a Rasetz until level sixty again dropping a devil shard.
Take that last one and breed to be a Rasetz! This is the uber creation!
This fifth gem will be sweet. Shelling out damage its aura blast will
do upwards of five hundred damage to each enemy. Its glow soul ability
is quite impressive for certain.
Always remember where you’re
going by checking the map often as it is easy to turned around.
Castlevania Curse of Darkness is challenging fun for players who get
into the details or just a relaxing time for casual game play for video
games and gaming choices.
