dude, dont go back using the wolfs medallion, go up the plateau and jump on the chains then you can climb your way to where the yellow arrow is.

Well, I've finished it today, and it was quite okay, there were some flaws though, like the stealth parts, or some unfair bosses. The ending was nothing great, but to be honest I'm glad the LoS saga is at end. The problem with the game was the whole story was pretty flat to begin with whole Satan and God thing was pretty odd. I liked the IGAvanias more I know there people who say otherwise and say the IGAvanias were not good either. Well lets see what Konami is doing next with the Castlevania franchise.

I just defeated Carmilla, for now the game is good, I'd say excellent in fact. But not as good as the original LoS imho.
In particular, LoS had better levels (more varied, better designed, more atmosphere) here you basically alternate between the city and the old castle, more repetitive. I can see why this is half the size of the original, you're basically seeing the same textures and models throughout the whole game. Also, there are some unnecessary game mechanics in the new one, first of which are the bland and useless stealth sections that have nothing to do with the rest of the game. And finally, the narrative structure of LoS2 is all over the place: you're constantly in and out of oneiric sequences, characters drop in and out without ever being fleshed out and some of the plot devices feel cheap and uninspired (I mean seriously, Satan is trying to take over the city by possessing people through a poisonous gas? Really? I thought he was the lord of hell, not a Bond villain...)
On the upside, it feels like the combat is tighter and more dynamic, I like the "skill leveling" system that encourages you to use all the different skills instead of relying on the same 3 combos for the entirety of the game. The free-moving camera is also much more functional than the fixed prospective of the first game, and graphics are quite good.
All in all, this game is great fun, and I recommend it. But if you didn't play the original LoS, play that first, it's the superior of the two imho.

I can confirm, I recommend playing on the higher difficulty.

I really tried to like the first game, i reinstalled it twice, i went to chapter VII and than i called it quits, way too many puzzles and boring ones, the combat is in imo repetitve, i found myself doing the same combos over and over again, the daggers and fairies didnt do it for me in terms of variaty, they are basicly all the same throw weapon, and tecnicaly he only has one melee weapon in the entire game.. wich is very boring....
Most of the time the path isnt clear, and not because its hard to see, but because of the badly design lvl's, its full of invisible walls that seem like they have a path but are just there to try to make the game look less linear when in fact this is a glorified 3d version of a 2d camera game, speaking of that, there is no camera control on this game..
Yes the artwork is amazing on a few selected spots on this game, the boss encounters are epic most of the time,but there is also, and if not more, bland levels with low detail on them, and not very atmospheric imo.
Its also full of QTE's that make some of the boss fights tedious as hell, i also dont believe for a sec some of you didnt die jumping into stuff you thought you could of just to end up dying trying, the lvl design is very misleading..
That beeing said, this demo is a huge improvement, i played it and instantly saw all of these things corrected, the throne lvl has more atmosphere than 60% of this game..easily, the graphics are rly good, textures and lightning, the combat is insanely improved.. i hope the game is not as bad as some of you seem to think..

I already finished LoS2, yes it was an improvement over LoS1, but there were some bits which were not so good like the stealth parts, but everyone has a different opinion about those things. I can only say that I enjoyed it, but I'm also glad that the Saga is at end.
In LoS2 you can disable the QTE's through the settings, was the 1st thing I did, guess MercurySteam listened to their fans.

I just hope those bits are nowhere near the same quantity as the ones i found myself bored with on the first game, i really wanna enjoy this second game, i saw nothing that worried me on the demo, not even the QTE's..

| Spoiler: |
After you smash it a couple of times she looses all the "rings" and it shouldn't come back. Then you use the "freeze thingy" (don't remember the name  ) to keep here still for long enough to attack her.

Im totally loving the first game!
| Spoiler: | The fight with stone titan! OMG! Such beautiful memories of Shadow of the Colossus! Also did anyone notice when it was being distracted by Claudia, she was acting and saying the same things Ripley did in Aliens when she had the confrontation with the alien queen!
I just got to the fight with Cornell! The sonofabitch transformed into Werewolf!  |
Before facing Cornell, the passage in the book begins ...
| Spoiler: | | Quote: | | Gabriel has fought long and hard to get to this point, and now he faces his stiffest challenge. |
I had to laugh ... long ... hard ... stiffest? Coincidence? |
May the NFOrce be with you always.

I heard there is challenge mode in the game. Is it wave based as DMC4's Bloody Palace?
