Omi Plays Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Part 1
1Recorded on 4-16-24. What a horrible night for a curse. This game is notorious for being terrible,especially by a certain angry video game nerd. We're playing an enhanced Mod of the game though,which improves the translation,adds a Map,makes the day to night transitions instantaneous,and fixes the screwed up endings of the original. It's still not a great game,though. Simon Belmont has been cursed after defeating Dracula 7 years prior. If he does not find the remains of Dracula's body and burn them to prevent the Count's resurrection,he will succumb to the curse and perish. Starting in the town of Jova,you'll need to by a White Crystal for 50 Hearts. Hearts are used as currency in this game. From there,we head straight East to reach the first Mansion/Dungeon of the game,Berkeley Mansion. The White Crystal is required to make an elevator appear inside. Some of the blocks you walk on in here are fake,and can send you falling down below. You'll need to find an NPC to buy an Oak Stake for 50 Hearts. This is needed to destroy the Orb at the end of the area and obtain the 1st of Dracula's body parts: Dracula's Rib. When equipped,you have a shield when not moving or attacking. Spent some time farming Hearts in here,since time doesn't pass inside of dungeons. Heading back to Jova afterwards,we wait for daytime so we can buy Holy Water for 50 Hearts,and rest at the Church. We end up heading East again once that's done,to the next town called Veros.
