it would be epic if u had like, even 2 secs of invincibility after getting hit. if u get caught inside the boss then u end up taking like 60% damage and theres nothing u can do.. well.. i guess u just have to not do that

You figured it out, but the crab is weak to hammer. Every boss is weak to a certain element so you need to experiment.

Blackmore owns a lot too. He hits extremely hard but all of his attacks can be avoided.

blackmore either goes down too fast or owns you too fast to really enjoy him as a boss

Remember that multiplayer Castlevania:HD or whatever? They should make another one of those. Only Japanese people with connection issues still play, I never got a chance to level my Belmont's in the sea of Somas everyone played.

Just crouch hug the left corner of the screen and only move if you need to dodge or when he turns red to make him crack the ceiling, and spam the hammer glyphs.

The only castlevania game I've beaten is the DS one where you play the albino dude and when you kill a boss you have to play connect the dots or else the boss gets back a bunch of his health

You need to move to the top level whenever he prepares to hit the ceiling, then move back down when he starts hitting it. You also have to move to the right, then back left on the third ceiling hit as he will hit you if you stick around on the bottom left.

On the second phase just move up and back down when he starts to hit the ceiling, and on the third phase stay up top because his legs start to raise up and hit the bottom left area. If you do all of that you should be able to kill Brachyura without taking any damage.

Once you kill him don't forget to ride the elevator back up because there's a really useful glyph at the top of the lighthouse.

im playing that right now and the map is loving huge and terrible. im sure it'll be way better on a second playthrough but i really hate that there's no indicator for rock walls/locked doors/etc. so you never have any idea where to go unless you remember that one door you saw days ago when you first started

i like it better than aria of sorrow but god drat the map sucks

I think they put the seals in because DoS was an early DS game and I think Nintendo was putting pressure on people to use the touch screen as much as possible, even forcing it into games that don't really fit.
