NOTE: I know later games refer to her as Sypha, but in this game she's referred to as Syfa.
Welcome! In this video walkthrough series, we'll be tackling one of the tougher games on the NES: Castlevania 3! This game amps up the difficulty and returns to the Castlevania 1 style of gameplay with a few additions. For starters, you can choose several different paths to play different stages as well as recruit one of three different characters to play as! Grant can cling to walls and jump high, Alucard can shoot energy balls and transform into a bat while Syfa can use different magic spells. This leads to a lot of fun replayability as you try different stages and characters.
This walkthrough series is designed to show you how to beat all the different paths with all the characters in six parts, two for each character. If you're looking for the easiest route, I recommend the Syfa walkthrough while those looking for a challenge should watch the Grant run.
In part five, we restart the game for the final time and take arguably the easiest route of the game: the Syfa route! Syfa can cast spells to help us out and her route is easier due to being slightly shorter and less challenging. The route taken in this run is 1-3-4A-5A-6A-7A-8-9-10.
