      Not like SotN is a challenging game anyway.

      Not in the slightest, you actually have to go out of your way grind the flying heads for it to appear. One of the rarest items in the game, iirc.

        fricking same, finally played it a month ago after putting it off for years upon years for no reason and it dropped from those flying guys by luck, had no idea it even existed
        used it for like 15 mins and stopped after a while because it felt way too good, only used it to farm the floating sword enemy because I just assumed it had to have a cool drop.

      Most people had no idea it existed in the first place, since it very rarely drops from enemies in one tiny area of the castle that you only have to visit once. My first time through, the Alucard Sword was the best weapon I was able to find.

      The Shield Rod + Alucard Shield are way fricking better and you get them every time

        farm shmoos in the inverted library. there's a room that works best as you enter from the left and one flies right at you and you can easily zone if it doesn't drop

    Two weeks ago I was trying to get the cool fist weapon when that thing dropped. Had no idea such a destructive weapon dropped off such dumb monsters. I wonder how many other weapons I genuinely have never seen because of this game and it's drop rates. I also got that upper cutting fist from some frog. Never knew about that and used it for most of the run. Fun weapon.

    I don't think it's possible to find any real challenge in SOTN. Igarashi specifically said in the interviews that he wanted to change the reputation of Castlevania being a hardcore gamer only game, and introduced the OP RPG mechanics so that the game could be enjoyed by anyone including housewives.

      1) SotN had relatively unused formula of open world, which could be explored and enjoyed. You didn't need to replay entire level to get to the places you could not get without upgrades, there wasn't many annoying platforming moments except clock tower, and even clock tower didn't have too much bad stuff.
      2) SotN had gothic atmosphere in visuals and music with just slight horror moments like Granfaloon/Legion, Beezelbub etc. At the same time there was places like Chapel - calm and soothing.
      3) It has collectaphon, which didn't have anything hidden behind it, while all items (equipment) were actually usable.
      4) Game have likable main character, likable Dracula, likable side characters including ferryman.
      5) Game have lots of small secrets/events, many of them are purely aestetical, like bird cycle of life in tower.
      6) Animations are smooth, game doesn't feel clunky.
      7) The story, while being classic "good guy save the world from bad guy", have some mystery with Richter.
      8) Voices are just enough theatrical to fit the atmosphere and to be remembered.

      Yes, the game was unfinished, reverse castle shows it hard, yes, game was unbalanced, there are many items like muramasa, which clearly show, that there are many cutted features, and that reverse castle was supposed to be somewhat harder.

      There's also Harmony of Dissonance gba Castlevania, which partly follows general atmosphere of SotN, all of the later Castlevanias are too "bright" compared to this two - the same problem (at my opinion) that Bloodstained have.

      So, SotN is relatively unique, had a good director and chose just right style for Dracula's castle to be shown both as a threat and interesting mystery to explore - not just "it's your enemy, go kill it".

    Frick you OP, if IGA didn't want the Crissaegrim to make you death on two legs he wouldn't have made it like that.
    besides you basically have to go through 90% of the Inverted Castle to find the enemy that has it and then grind it, so its not like it was somewhere where anyone could find it easily.

    I think a lot of people don't know or don't remember the context that we originally played these games in. Being a teenager in the PS1 era and playing this shit when it came out, you likely didn't have a ton of games to play, so you'd try to get as much out of a game as you could. So games like this that offered ANYTHING in exchange for autistic grinding were a big time sink. Same with something like Final Fantasy VII, I 100%'d that shit at the time. I would probably never go back and do it now because all of that Gold Saucer autism would be a massive waste of time which I could spend on playing through another game, but at that time I was looking for something to waste time on. That's also why I beat Metal Gear Solid over and over to get all of the bonus shit, and played through RE2 multiple times for that ZAP goodness, and the bonus items there as well.
