Another interlude, this time between the land of the vampires and the land of the dead. It starts off by teaching about how to use the Seraph Shoulders - the double jump, another very handy tool.
Stage 1 0:20
Stage 2 8:46
Stage 3 28:40
Some thoughts and tips -
- to get the amount of headless corpses you need for the trial, you need to kill the first few without being grabbed. There are six. And then when you see me jump, fall, and then double jump into that cave? Instead double jump straight across the pit and land on the upper part of the ground to fight another group of more. Since these guys are undead, Holy Water works well.
- in the second stage, the idea is to fight all three scarecrows only scaring the crows a total of 13 times. I didn't memorize exactly when to shake, and I'm sorry about that. The mandragora make this stage dangerous, always draining your health.
- the Scarecrow enemies aren't terribly difficult to fight, but I wasn't messing around on Paladin, using Ultimate Light and Ultimate Shadow to kill them quickly. Their attacks come out fast and I always took a lot of hits practicing on Squire difficulty, so I didn't fight them normally while I was recording.
- I'm not a big fan of the music box stage, because it's another annoying puzzle with no enemies. The trial is to get through without falling into any of the traps, and I managed it in this video, happily enough. Though I don't like this stage, I like the idea of it - it's cool seeing Baba talk to Gabriel, and the Vampire Killer theme as the music box tune was great.
