Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
I- Charlotte’s Gameplay Hints
1) Objects Outlined in Blue
Charlotte: Objects outlined in blue, when stepped on, will trigger some sort of reaction.
Jonathan: I see.
2) Matching the Right Attacks
Charlotte: You can attack enemies with physical or magical attacks. When the enemy takes damage and flashes blue, it means the attack had little effect.
Jonathan: That’s good to know. So matching the right attack to the right enemy is the key to success.
3) Defying Abnormal Status
Charlotte: An abnormal status penalty doesn't seem to affect your partner.
Jonathan: Oh. So by switching players, you can let the unharmed one take up the slack.
4) A Battle for One
Charlotte: Fighting as a pair is reassuring, but some attacks just can't be avoided. If that ever happens, you need to be brave enough to fight alone.
Jonathan: Okay got it.
5) The Way to a Stronger Magic
Jonathan: Hey, your magic is weaker than I thought, isn't it?
Charlotte: Well, excuse me! If I have enough time to recite anaria, my magic'll be stronger. As the gauge builds up higher and higher, the power will increase.
6) Touch and Move Trick
Charlotte: If you call your partner and touch the lower screen, did you know that they'll move there?
Jonathan: Really? That's handy.
Charlotte: Since it's hard to touch while controlling things, that move's aimed at advanced players.
7) Easy Unpetrifying Trick
Charlotte: You can unpetrify your partner by attacking them.
Jonathan: I see.
Charlotte: You can't be on alert while petrified, so watch out.
8) Checking your MP
Charlotte: When your partner takes damage, the MP level goes down.
Jonathan: You need MP for strong attacks, so that can be a big problem.
Charlotte: If the MP level reaches zero, you'll have to fight alone. You have to be careful of this.
9) Deploying a Command
Charlotte: It seems the trick to deploying a command is to hold the last direction and press the button.
Jonathan: I see. I'll have to try that.
10) Dual Crush Moves
Jonathan: Hit up + X in co-op to unleash an unstoppable attack.
Charlotte: This really eats up your MP, so wait for the best time to use it.
11) Subweapon Skill Mastery
Charlotte: Hey Jonathan. Don't you think the sub-weapons are a little underwhelming?
Jonathan: Yeah, they're not as powerful as I thought they'd be. On the other hand... It does feel like they get more powerful the more we use them.
Charlotte: Maybe if we continue to use them, we'll be able to unlock their full potential...
Jonathan: Yeah, I'm sure of it.
12) Nothing Beats a Good Conversation
Charlotte: If something is troubling you, it is important that we talk.
Jonathan: I can handle things myself. I prefer it that way. Let's just both do our best.
13) The Vampire Cursed Priest
Charlotte: I wonder if Vincent's all right.
Jonathan: He's weak, but he is a priest. He should be okay for a while.
Charlotte: You're right. He still has his sanity, so he's safe for now.
II - Gameplay Hints Against Bosses
1) Behemoth: The Rampaging Ram
Charlotte: Huh?! Something's after us!
Jonathan: This doesn't look good! Let's run for now!
2) Behemoth: The Rampaging Ram 2
Jonathan: We had to run before, but here we can fight back!
Charlotte: But how?
3) Dullahan: The Headless Knight
Charlotte: It's head is totally immune to attacks!
Jonathan: So we aim for the body, right?
4) Keremet: Slime in a Pot
Charlotte: With this monster, keep hitting the pot to make it appear. According to the book, it's weak spot is it's face.
Jonathan: Hmm, in that case, we better work together on this one. Also, it looks like we'll need to move the pot.
5) Astarte: Irresistible Beauty
Jonathan: ... So beautiful...
Charlotte: Jonathan! What are you looking at? Don't lose your head!
6) Legion: One for All and All for One
Jonathan: Ewwwww, gross! I don't wanna touch that!
Charlotte: What are you saying?! If you don't beat them, you'll end up joining them.
7) Stella: Swordmistress of Ice
Jonathan: Damn vampire! Coming here alone!
Charlotte: Getting too cocky can be fatal.
9) Dagon: A Head in a Tail
Charlotte: Aim for the head!
Jonathan: There's two! Which one do we attack?
Charlotte: Go for the one that gets damaged!
10) Death: The Grim Reaper
Jonathan: If we let him do what he wants, he'll definitely revive Dracula. We've got to stop him right here!
Charlotte: Gotcha. Still, he's a tough one. We have to be extra careful.
11) Stella and Loretta: Swordmistress of Ice and the Ice Witch
Charlotte: If we could break the vampire's curse, we might be able to save them.
Jonathan: Your magic's up to it. I'll keep them occupied.
12) The Creature: Old Franky
Jonathan: A lighting attack doesn’t seem to work on this one.
Charlotte: Relax. This magical genius can use more spells than just lightning attacks.
13) Mummy: Undead Royalty
Jonathan: Check out bandage man here! How can I seriously fight a guy who's already hurt?
Charlotte: Don't get all wrapped up trying to go after the mummy!
14) Werewolf: The Howling Menace
Charlotte: It's so fast!
Jonathan: Watch out for it's dash attack!
15) Medusa: The Gorgon
Jonathan: Petrifying eyes?! This is gonna be a pain!
Charlotte: Don't look directly at her! Turn around! That will protect you!
16) Brauner: Castle’s New Lord
Jonathan: I promised Eric. Now time to carry it out.
Charlotte: Right. Together, we can do this.
17) Dracula and Death: The Lord of Darkness and His Eternal Servant
Charlotte: I never expected Dracula and Death to fight together.
Jonathan: But this is the only chance we'll get to defeat Dracula!
Charlotte: You're right. If we combine our powers, I'm sure we can win.
18) True Dracula: The Lord of Darkness
Charlotte: What amazing power! Is this the true power of Dracula?
Jonathan: No problem. His back's against the wall. Let's finish him off! Now!
Charlotte: Right!
