This is still one of Alucard’s most jerk moments. Letting him live as a hobo is adding the cherry to the shit sundae.

I always assumed Alucard and the others just plain didn't know where Julius went after the war and probably assumed he died.

I dunno if that's true or not tbh. Where was it first heard?

Anyway maybe they figured Dracula was permanently dealt with after 1999 and let Julius live a peaceful life out of gratitude.

Wasn't Julius in a hospital when the battle ended? That implies Alucard brought him there. Or since he was working with the government, at least knew that he was delivered there. Alucard never explains himself either way.

Yeah that doesn't seem like the act of a jerk who doesn't like Julius.

It would have been nice if Alucard explained Julius was when he got amnesia instead of letting him live as a hobo.

Hell do we even know exactly what happened to Jules after 1999?

Well, I've defeated the Giant Bat...now I gotta do the one thing I dread: hunting down a few specific souls in order to get to Paranoia.

After her kind had been much slaughtered, one humble Old Axe Armor had enough and cut her way through Brauner, Death, and Dracula to become the new Dark Lord. Considering it's the joke character, not too bad. Movement is stiff, but at least the damage output is decent if you can actually hit your enemies.

Fun fact: Order of Ecclesia is the only time, not counting the fighting game, or Soma's playable status in general, that Dracula ever walks in-game.

I'd argue that he doesn't even walk in Judgment. His movement speed is extremely slow at best, and we never see his legs move due to his robes. He may simply be levitating whenever he moves.

Contrast with Death, who absolutely runs in that game.

Whoever designed the final boss fight in "Dawn of Sorrow"...I hope Satan has a spot for you in Hell.

The Menace? Never found him all that hard to be honest. He’s slow and a nice big target, though you’re pretty hosed if you get stuck under his feet.

But if you do that, you don't get 100% souls!

We should add that to any vital tip list. Dawn of Sorrow is not designed for 100% completion on a first playthrough. Even less so than the other IGAvanias.

Eh I’ll come back to it after I beat the other two games. I may still get that platinum trophy on PS5.

What I'd say to do in Dawn of Sorrow is get 100% souls first despite it being a ballache. Then get the Chaos Ring, go back to Yoko and forge the boss weapons. Boom.

Albus mode done. Turns out Dracula is nothing compared to gun. Ignore him killing me a couple dozen times. Fun mode, even if teleportation is awkward with a stick.

So Dominus Collection got updated. This is where it gets interesting:

  • Certain glitches were brought back. Thankfully they're either the funny ones or the completely beneficial ones, they didn't restore the Death softlock fuck-you in Portrait. But you can walk under Somacula's larvae in Do S and that infinite potion thing in Portrait is back too.
  • The 4-koma Ecclesia comics got added to the gallery too.

Here's CV speedrunner JupiterClimb demonstrating the changes

Vampire Survivors is doing a full collaboration with Castlevania, but also flat out stealing Smash Bros Ultimate's catchphrase:

They got freaking Sonia, but have very clearly left out Reinhardt, Carrie, and Cornell, so Everyone is here! my ass!

They got Grant in there though, unlike the jabroni Netflix show.

That makes it both worse and better.

Grant gets his time. Sonia is acknowledge, but they still left three heroes out.

Like, I'm sure Cirle of the Moon is there as well.

This is a great collaboration, but it's weird to still leave the 64 games out.
