Castlevania (NES) [60FPS]: Stage 5 (Whip Only, No Damage)

A playthrough of the 5th stage from Castlevania (NES) using only the whip and without taking damage. Aside from Sub-weapons, Invisibility Potions and Rosaries are also avoided. -- More info below -- This stage is actually one of the easier ones to do a perfect run on. The only part that consistently ruined runs, was the very beginning of the stage, mainly the Skeleton on the upper part of the screen. If he ends up jumping to the right of the screen (in this run, he stayed on the left side), then you have to dodge the bones he throws while you’re climbing the stairs. How high he throws the bones and how many of them is completely random. If you’re really unlucky, he can throw four bones at once. If you’re on the stairs when that happens, you’re pretty much screwed. So if the Skeleton goes to the right side of the screen during a run, just hope you don’t get really bad RNG. Thankfully, since this happens at the very beginning of the stage, it’s not a big deal if you mess up and have to try again. Outside of this situation, the rest of the stage is not a problem once you know the layout and how to beat certain enemy formations. One particular enemy that gives most people trouble is the Axe Knight, which you only encounter in this stage. Even with a fully upgraded whip, these enemies take nine hits to defeat, which gives them plenty of time to counterattack. They attack you by throwing their axes either high or low, with the axes returning to them like a boomerang after a short while. This attack, however, is actually not as intimidating as it might look. Not only can you destroy the axes in one hit, but you can destroy them at both altitudes with your whip while standing. The Axe Knights also have a tendency to walk away from you when you’re attacking them, but you can easily catch up to them by jumping. When you destroy one of their axes just after they throw it, you can get about four to five hits on them with your whip before they throw another axe. Just destroy the axe again and repeat this strategy until you take them out. The main reason this level is often considered difficult by a lot of people, is the infamous ‘Hallway’, the section with Axe Knights and Medusa Heads right before the boss. In actuality, the hallway is really not as hard as it may seem when you know how to properly deal with both enemies. Just remember these four things: 1: Take your time with the Medusa Heads. Observe their patterns and either dodge them or take them out. 2: Use the strategy I described to take out the Axe Knights with ease. 3: Don’t forget to jump in on the Axe Knights when you get the chance, preferably right after a Medusa Head has passed you/you destroyed a Medusa Head and the Axe Knight isn’t going to throw an axe. This can also cause the next Medusa Head to spawn higher up, making it much easier to take out. 4: Do NOT face the right side of the screen for too long. This can cause a Medusa Head to spawn from that side, which is not only harder to dodge, but if you face left again, a Medusa Head will spawn from that side too. This means you’ll have two Medusa Heads on screen at the same time, with both coming towards you from a different side. Coupled with the Axe Knights, this makes everything WAY more difficult, so try to avoid facing right too much at all cost. The boss of this stage, encountered right after the hallway, is Death/the Grim Reaper, who is easily the hardest boss in the game. During the fight, Death will constantly spawn little sickles that will try to home in on you, while Death himself moves around the room (mostly in an effort to stay away from you). The small size of these sickles, coupled with the speed at which they move, can make it pretty hard to take them out. It’s also best to avoid jumping too much, since you might accidentally jump into one right when it’s spawning. On the flip side, you can use their homing property to your advantage. You can let them home in on you, after which you can walk away to a different spot and then simply destroy them from there. If you want to win this fight however, you’ll need to destroy Death himself, so try to follow him as much as possible. Just keep doing that while dodging/destroying the sickles and Death will go down eventually. Hope you enjoy!
