Creepy Bad Endings: Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia 

Creepy Bad Endings # 93: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yoE9A0xxZEw.html

Everybody gangsta till Dracula starts to walk

Isn't Albus game over screen represent how Shanoa would die if he fails his mission? You know, the female silhouette splattered in blood

creepy bad endings: the castlevania franchise. konami is the true bad ending.

Albus's game over screen has to be Shanoa dying,probably from using Dominus.

I love how Barlowe being a bad guy is equally obvious and interesting

BEHOLD, Dracula's true form! *Walking on two legs!*

I always interpreted that the reason Dracula doesn't transform is that he's saving his power for a Belmont. Though, he doesn't know that they've vanished, so he's saving power for nothing. He also isn't taking Shanoa seriously at all, given that he doesn't seem hurt at all by the time the fight is over, which means he's just playing around during this fight. To him, Shanoa is just some random lady who walked into his castle and challenged him, and why should he take her seriously if there's no whip to be afraid of?

i think albus's game over is supposed to represent shanoa's fate if she went through with using dominus to break the seal

7:24 I love how you made a callback to that video where you absolutely gushed over this one crab death sequence

That smile... MUST PROTECT!

31:42 looks like the silhouette of Shanoa in a game over. Maybe representing the bad ending

Its no wonder Drac hits on Shanoa, shes beautiful and really damn powerful

Albus was such a character. No, i'm not crying, you are.

To be fair, according to the various wikis, while we still don't have the 1999 game, we still know the plot as essentially: Julius Belmont goes to Japan and uses the sun gods there to fight the eclipse in which Dracula's Castle is sealed ... xD god what a B movie concept that is!

Me seeing there is a new Castlevania bad endings episode: Oh, i...i thought you were dead. This Castlevania bad endings episode: My death was... greatly exagerated.

As to the "isn't this the 5th time someone other than the belmont's beat dracula?" comment, I believe this game takes place around 1810, about a decade or so after Symphony of the night, which makes Shanoa the first non-Belmont, non-Dracula's son person to vanquish dracula, even if it didn't last too long.

Back in 2009 when I played this game, it wasn't the fact that Dracula started walking that scared me the most. It was seeing him using that circular slashing kick! So not only can Shanoa use Geese Howard's Reppuken though the Pneuma glyph, now Dracula can use Rugal Bernstein's Genocide Cutter?! SNK Playmore had a hand in this game, didn't it? Would surely account for both those references and the difficulty spike!

Its good to see that.. There are still Castlevania fans alive TwT The franchise died many years ago.. Even tho Bloodstained series is kinda castlevania and have many ending 😸 I don't think Konami going to make 1999 game.. They added The main character as a side character in Aria of sorrow and dawn of sorrow ;-; And also Konami stop adding Belmonts as MC ages ago.. Last one is Richter **sigh** And Lords of Shadow is complete different story.. Well.. "Castlevania" is now a Nostalgia series.. Its still hits hard.. 😹✨

Unfortunately, this is the last good 2d Castlevania game that exists.

Shanoa and Albus' relationship becomes pretty interesting when you consider that they are based off the game's director and his wife.

"C'mon Death, live up to your namesake!" 😆

What would you say are the "wrong reasons" for this game's difficulty? I do remember a couple of bosses being a bit jank/awkwardly-made, but aside from that I think it's generally fair. The "Level 1, Hard Mode, New Game" *is* pretty insane, probably the hardest thing in Metroid-styled Castlevania (aside from Circle of the Moon's Battle Arena, IMO), at least the first 2/3 of the game, but also really fun x) 9:59 Huh, never noticed that Shanoa's tatoos glowed outside of her specific "absorption" animation. 14:05 I wonder how obnoxiously long that slideshow can be, if you miss the maximum amount of Villagers possible? x) Both of Barlowe's VAs must have had an ABSOLUTE BLAST voicing him, his crazy laughs are AMAZING, do yourself a favor and listen to them, both languages! :D The True, bittersweet ending hits differently nowadays, with how Castlevania's been these days.

I can't get enough of this game, the soundtrack, gameplay and design are majestic

It's been over 10 years since the first Castlevania CBE, and now this legacy has come to an end. Was a pleasure to witness this.

You need to do a video on Fallout 1's bad ending, as well as the (creepy) time limit that the first half of the main quest has.

0:13 preach Also, Albus's game over screen is Shanoa dying. Look to the left and you'll see her feathery shoulder pad.

You just had to include the crab death, didn't you Git? XD

What a coincidence, was just replaying this on hard! Know the ending but gonna watch it anyhow

22:30: You know, Richter was right about that Dracula steals mankind souls and making them his slaves. Barlowe is a good example.

0:41 agreed 15:17 they knew everything, it's just this game required less detective works to figure out. Also, Dawn of Sorrow showed the answer to 2nd bad ending. 24:25 lmfao, dat Castlevania 2 reference! 26:02 uhm, I think it'd make sense if Death recognized ppl from Eclessia clan, especially Barlowe. Unlike previous entries where you defeated Dracula and happy ending afterward, this game doesn't. It just feels sad when even after she fulfilled the "fake" mission, she still has nothing left. Hope she find a place to live on that village. One last note since you mentioned its difficulty. I think it's hard not because of how strong enemies and how weak Shanoa is. I think it's due to the Glyph and attribute mechanics. Her main attack didn't work the same way we used to accustom. Instead of using Knife and Axe like subweapon as they used to be, they can be used as main weapon in the game. Not to mention, the more you use them, the more its attribute increase, resulting more dmg.

Man, do I miss the original Castlevania series.

Order of Ecclesia? What a nice surprise

15:30 Honestly quite fitting considering what Shania does throughout the game

26:00 - That's.....actually really brilliant. That'd be a really cool concept.

It took twenty years but Dracula finally acquired a walk cycle. Just in time for the franchise to die. Oh well.

Creepy Bad Endings: Corpse Party Book of Shadows

27:00 Lmao I don't think I've ever seen anyone dodge the fireballs like that before.

Hello, I have a Creepy Time Limit idea you could discuss! In the game Legend of Zelda: the Minish Cap, this happens in Dark Hyrule Castle where an extraction ceremony is taking place. The main antagonist Vaati is atop this corrupted castle, and is draining the light force from Princess Zelda who had been turned to stone. Later in the dungeon when you pass the door locked by the Big Key, Vaati will announce that his ceremony is coming to a close, and in three bell chimes he'll become god-like and Zelda will be no more. As you make your way towards Vaati to stop him, two bells will ring as you pass through the upcoming room doors. But when you enter the room with the three Darknuts which triggers the second bell ring; this will initiate a hidden time limit in which Link must beat the Darknuts and make it to the top of the castle before the third and most crucial bell rings. If Link is unable to do so in time; the ceremony will be completed, Vaati will proceed to unleash his newfound power, Zelda will perish, and it will be Game Over. Link must make it to the top of the castle in time and interrupt the extraction ceremony to avoid this fate. Since this was my first Zelda final boss experience it was extremely nerve racking for me, so it would be cool to see you talk about this ^^

Shanoa "smiling" would be creepy as hell in itself, if the context didn't lighten the mood so much Also I believe Albus' Game Over screen is Shanoa's bloody silhouette, as in he failed to protect her

7:24 wow I just remembered boss analysis #8, it's been a really long time since then!

Like with PMD, I decided to watch this video without any Order of Ecclesia knowledge to see what it was about and you've done it again; now I'm sad 😭😭😭 I love to see brotherly relationships explored in games, even if if turns out to be sad or bittersweet like this :"( thank you once again for sharing a gem I now know to appreciate!

As the final Metroidvania game that I have played in the Castlevania series so far, this one has been by far the best one of them all.

Fun fact: Dracula in this game is voiced by Patrick Seitz, I'm sure you know who else he voiced.

I'VE AWAITED SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO OMG BRING'EM THE PLOT TWISTZ

Just finished playing Symphony and am in Castlevania mode, this is a welcome surprise!

I knew instantly which game over screens were waiting when I saw the thumbnail :D

Can't watch this as the DS CV trilogy is something I have desperately wanted to get around to. But once again I am impressed by your good taste! Time to get on your dang Patreon already.

Personally, I find the process of finding the good ending to these games can be a bit annoying, so I think I would enjoy the game showing me that I did a specific thing wrong instead of giving me no signs on how I was wrong. Then again, I would also find it annoying that I have to replay the game to get the good ending unless I had the foresight (but not the knowledge) to see that a bad ending was coming at that point.

In this episode, the true ending is that we get our emotions back. Hmm, hmm.

damn. I didn't even know of the existence of this game, but the way you told the story really struck me emotionally in the end. EDIT: I don't know if you usually take suggestions, but since this is your most recent creepy bad endings video, I think Astroboy: Omega factor for GBA would make a great entry, but regardless, if you haven't already played it I think you'll love it.

We have creepy bad endings, but how about bad creepy endings

Yay!!! finally this game true ending hit my feeling so hard like a goddamn truck....

26:01 They already did that in Curse of Darkness, having him appear as a helpful ally only to reveal his true colors towards the end. He was only ever talkative with Alucard, Hector and Jonathan/Charlotte; all times when he was trying to manipulate them into doing something. The rest of the time, there's not much to say- he just wants to cut you down and claim your soul. Definitely the toughest Metroidvania of all with a simple but effective plot. Shame this was the final act in the saga.

I watched this on my PS Vita and you can’t beat that lmao

Finally... I've been waiting for this so long after the Morrisvania...

Woooo, an episode centered on OoE. Idk if you made another whole episode just about it but I’m happy.

Half the villagers were behind hidden walls, I find it as a tedious exploration trip when I played OoE myself. Even more tedious is that I couldn't even fight Death on my emulator, which is a requirement if you want to reach Dracula.

Everyone gangsta until you not rescue one villager

14:02 Barlowe's malicious smile

You can soft lock if instead of using dominus you fly in a corner. Dracula does his explosion for eternity. Also, I'm pretty sure jp voice is Norio Wakamoto, when he goes walking mode you can hear a very Norio-esque ASOBI OWARIDA.

It's always struck me as odd how Dracula's humanoid form isn't consistent in each game it appears in, even the ones in the same platform. The closest thing I ever got to an answer was a video that claimed that he can take the body of a servant, which is how they explained how Dracula has so many transformations.

That smile 😭😭

Also this games unlocks features with Judgement for Wii.

the last game over is maybe shinoa light he was searching for in the dominus ?

A vid on one of my favorite metroidvania games Good to see you played this one

I literally bought DSi just for this trilogy.

Thank you, whoisthisgit. For being a part of many people’s childhoods. Including mine.

17:58 This explains everything.

7:22 showing the crab boss's death animation I see what you did there

Still 92 episodes in, and no mention of Megami Tensei, the MASTER of Bad Endings...

One of the attacks assigned to a glyph of Dominus looks kinda like Dracula's Destruction Rain.

Good to see that you're still doing this series....

Love your castlevania play throughs

Barlowe : with your sacrifice the wished of manking will all come true... *on the other side* Miriam : First , I have to deal with Gebel , IGA , OD , Dominique , Gremony and NOW DRACULA?!?! Zangetsu : Don't forget about IGA too.... Aurora : *HUGE SIGH* Bloodless : Well....this is going to be fun....

The game over screen has a figure on the left side that kinda resembles Shanoa. Maybe it’s hinting that if Albus dies in that mode then Shanoa makes her sacrifice in the bad ending after finding his corpse with the glyphs? Or perhaps it’s his last thoughts being of his sister as he fades away? Either way the resemblance to Shanoa is hard to miss.

a 1999 castlevania game with both styles metoidvania and classic in order to send off the series would be nice

thanks for letting me know about a third ds castlevania

Ooh, a CBE video? And it’s a Castlevania one? Nice!

The ending could use a slight rewrite. Instead of writing off Ecclesia as being lost to time, it should have been Shanoa destroying all records of Ecclesia so that the knowledge of Dominus dies with her and therefore cannot be misused after her lifetime. They could have also trailed off into a cliffhanger and opened up an opportunity to create another Castlevania game taking place in 1897 depicting Quincy’s fight against Dracula instead of using Bram Stoker’s original novel to fill that gap.

That wimpy ass scream at 23:03 though, that was the funniest shit I've heard in a while

jesus i was expecting a twist for the first bad ending but i wasn't expecting "YOU'RE DEAD EVERYONE IS DEAD YOU DOOMED ALL OF HUMANITY GAME OVER" (also yea this kind of stuff is better left for the player to figure out)

17:24 Wait! He has *BELMONT BLOOD?!!* 17:47 Wait! The villagers have *BELMONT BLOOD?!!*

Could you look into the Azure Striker Gunvolt series for a future CBE episode? The second game's bad ending isn't much to write home about, but the first game's is, and despite not having a bad ending of its own, the spinoff Luminous Avenger iX is pretty important to be versed in, without saying too much. Just make sure that the voices are set to English (JP voice mode) in the settings if your version has them, the basic English mode leaves out a *ton* of dialogue in addition to changing the dialogue that's kept for the worse.

this castlevania was awesome, I like it more than SOTN

A very pleasant surprise for a bad friday

I hope we get a Castlevania DS Collection someday.

One day we'll have a new mainline Castlevania... I know...

Holy fuck that was depressing.

Order of Ecclesia is my favorite Castlevania game.

Mankind wishes, the ressurection of Dracula! Richter: ha! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!.

Wassup Git, just a suggestion. Maybe you should cover Golden Sun Dark Dawn for Creepy Moments. Just played through the game again and I think it qualifies, just the sheer eerie and tragic atmosphere of what happens halfway through the game is almost nightmareish.

Albert’s game over screen looks like Shanoa dying, and the blood is coming out of her back, where she absorbs glyphs. Is that what [Dominus] would do to her if she finished the ritual at the beginning of the game?

Man that's depressing.

Okay, but what happends if you use Dominius after the fight with old man Barlowe? Of if you equip them prior to the fight?

To me the Albus game over screen looks like there's a figure lying on the ground or currently falling in the left side of the picture.

Yeah me too at the beggining thought that Albus was jealous and was a traitor

Wait, so did Albus' Soul just completely disappear in the best ending or did it ascend to heaven or something?

I haven't watched all creepy bad endings videos but I have thought of one from Tekken 2 which is Kazuya's ending. If you beat Tekken 2 as Kazuya, you'll get to witness him facing the devil version of himself. When the devil fires a laser to him, Heihachi got in the way and Kazuya used him as a shield, killing him in a process. After finishing off Devil with an uppercut, Kazuya emerges victory once again and this is where the creepy part begins. This shows that no one can stop him the fact that he is more corrupt than his father. The entire world will turn into a dystopia if Kazuya takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu. Tekken will never be the same without Heihachi

26:40 I mean that was one of the last things he did before his previous two deaths (see Rondo of Blood or the Dracula X Chronicles)
