Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance* known as Castlevania: Concerto of the Midnight Sun in Japan. This was during the brief period where the Japanese market used Castlevania for certain games not starring Dracula is the second Castlevania game for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2002, and the first one on the system to be directed by Koji "IGA" Igarashi.The year is 1748, and Castlevania has mysteriously re-appeared in the woods of Eastern Europe. Juste Belmont and his friend Maxim Kischine set out to investigate, hoping to find a childhood friend, Lydie Erlanger. Upon entering the Castle, the two friends are separated and Juste begins the search for Lydie and the answers to the castle's reappearance. The plot thickens when Maxim begins to behave very strangely whenever Juste encounters him.Like Castlevania: Circle of the Moon before it, Harmony of Dissonance is a 2D Metroidvania in the vein of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. However, Harmony of Dissonance also takes more direct inspiration from Symphony of the Night than its predecessor. Not only is Juste's White-Haired Pretty Boy design heavily reminiscent of Symphony protagonist Alucard, but Harmony also makes use of a dual castle setup like in Symphony. Though there is a twist — the two castles are used for Dual-World Gameplay, with Juste being able to warp between them and changes to one castle affecting the other.Replacing the DDS cards of Circle of the Moon is a brand new magic system. The various sub-weapons can be combined with spell books at the cost of MP, with each combination providing a different effect. Many DDS cards were Random Drops while the spell books need to be found throughout the castles, removing much the RNG inherent to the old system. | |

Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: The worst ending is harder to get than the "average" ending, since it requires all of Dracula's remains. That said, it's easier to get than the Golden Ending, which requires you to equip two relatively inferior pieces of equipment, one of which was a part of your starting equipment! | |

Warp Whistle | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_159850a5 | comment |
Warp Whistle: There are two types of warp rooms: rooms that transport you to a set location, and others that are linked together. The former kind transport you from the other castle automatically (as part of a trick to hide the existence of two castles in the early game), while the latter can be used to warp around one castle or to travel to the equivalent gate in the other castle. | |

| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_15df66d9 | comment |
After Boss Recovery: The traditional health-filling orbs are once again included, and the developers must have noticed how players would try and catch them in every pose possible in the previous games, because if you catch an orb by jumping and attacking, or dive-kicking into it, a little message like "Good!" or "Great!" will appear. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: There's a room full of skeletons in tanks in Castle A's Skeleton Cavern. These enemies are called Skeleton Glass, and once they burst out of the tank, they're not much more dangerous than regular skeletons, and go down as fast. Their experience rate, while not the best, is pretty high up there and can be useful for grinding up to a point suitable for finishing the game. | |

It attempts to correct this by having much more color saturation and giving Juste Belmont a blue glow that is hand-waved by stating in the supplementary guides that the Belmont and Belnades bloodlines mixed sometime shortly after Castlevania, giving Juste magical powers including the glow. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Depending on which castle you enter the final boss room in (and what items you have equipped), the ending can change. There are three in total: Castle B, the Golden Ending: Juste confronts Evil Maxim wearing the real Maxim's Bracelet, and his own (Remember that accessory from the very beginning of the game? You need to put it back on before you land the final blow.) to rally the real Maxim into fighting from the inside. The Relics react to Evil Maxim's desires and Evil Maxim flees into them, creating the Dracula Wraith, the true final boss. Maxim and Lydie both survive, and if all the furniture pieces are found and placed before the end, Lydie will cuddle up with Juste, apparently attracted to his sense of feng shui. Castle A, the "Okay" ending: Juste arrives before Maxim can completely succumb. Maxim begs Juste to kill him, but Juste refuses, so Maxim pretends to succumb (complete with using Evil Maxim's portrait) to force Juste's hand. Afterward, Maxim confesses that he wanted Juste to be the one to kill him, acknowledging his superiority, and asking him to take care of Lydie as his body expires. This ending is "okay" since at least Lydie survived. Castle B, the My Greatest Failure ending: Juste confronts Evil Maxim with any equipment he would have replaced with his and Maxim's bracelets in the Golden Ending, and thus, after losing, Evil Maxim is still in control, laments his failure even armed with Dracula's power, and laughs at Juste's fate to hunt vampires alone for the rest of his life. Maxim dies, and since Lydie wasn't freed, she goes to Hell with him. Juste curses that he couldn't save anyone and that all he has to remember them by is a bracelet, and wonders what he's going to do now. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: The path to the best ending (and also to the worst) has you choosing the ending scenario in which Lydie appears to be dead. In the path to the somewhat-bad ending, she is still obviously alive. | |

The Cameo | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: If you input the Konami Code when the Konami logo appears on the title screen, you can play as 8-bit Simon Belmont in Boss Rush mode, complete with limits on which subweapons he can use, the trademark Belmont strut, and unforgiving Jump Physics. He can still kill every monster the game throws at him, mostly because he can take the most damage, deals the most per hit, has the highest max heart total, and requires less hearts to use his subweapons than the other two characters, which allows him to spam his crosses (and Holy Waters, which are more accurate and damaging than Juste's) with impunity. When he dies, the death jingle from the original Castlevania plays and he slumps over instead of exploding into a Rain of Blood. | |

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Any time you use one of the Symphony of the Night style warp gates, you change castles as well as teleporting. Downplayed in that there are only two pairs. The rest use new teleporters that, while also in Symphony, are based on how the first Doppelgänger entered the arena. | |

More than Mind Control | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_28e90e30 | comment |
More than Mind Control: Evil Maxim is based on Maxim's own jealousy of Juste and (corrupted) desire for Lydie. Where the real Maxim is a friendly rival to Juste and is willing to step aside since Lydie wants Juste instead, Evil Maxim kidnaps her and uses her blood in a failed attempt to surpass Juste. This ultimately fails since, even as the Dracula Wraith, he's still no match for Juste. | |

Dark World: It's subtle, but Castle B is more decayed-looking than Castle A, many environments have unnatural colors, and the whole place generally looks slightly creepier. That said, since you see the B version of some areas first — especially the middle part of the castle — the A version will actually be the more dangerous one. | |

Chiptune | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_3ec82b29 | comment |
Chiptune: The GBA's primary audio hardware is primarily software-driven with one hardware channel for each ear, so mixing multiple sound channels must be done in software before being sent to the primary audio hardware. To save CPU cycles, the game's soundtrack uses the Game Boy Color's chiptune audio hardware for music since that hardware provides much more audio acceleration like mixing its channels in hardware. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Castle A, the "Okay" ending: Juste arrives before Maxim can completely succumb. Maxim begs Juste to kill him, but Juste refuses, so Maxim pretends to succumb (complete with using Evil Maxim's portrait) to force Juste's hand. Afterward, Maxim confesses that he wanted Juste to be the one to kill him, acknowledging his superiority, and asking him to take care of Lydie as his body expires. This ending is "okay" since at least Lydie survived. | |

Doppelgänger Attack | |

Doppelgänger Attack: Maxim's ultimate move, where he fires a lot of shadow clones on you. They each take only one hit before going down, and it's easy to take down a lot at once, but the sheer amount can overwhelm Juste easily. | |

Player Nudge | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_450a63b5 | comment |
Player Nudge: To access the game's True Final Boss, Juste needs to defeat Evil Maxim in Castle B while wearing the JB and MK bracelets, which will encourage the true Maxim to fight back. Getting the bad ending by winning the fight without that method leads to a line where Juste mentions Maxim's bracelet while mourning, cluing in that it and the other bracelet are important in some way. | |

Castle B, the Golden Ending: Juste confronts Evil Maxim wearing the real Maxim's Bracelet, and his own (Remember that accessory from the very beginning of the game? You need to put it back on before you land the final blow.) to rally the real Maxim into fighting from the inside. The Relics react to Evil Maxim's desires and Evil Maxim flees into them, creating the Dracula Wraith, the true final boss. Maxim and Lydie both survive, and if all the furniture pieces are found and placed before the end, Lydie will cuddle up with Juste, apparently attracted to his sense of feng shui. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: It's the first portable Castlevania game to have a Suspend Save feature, but it does it differently from later games; instead of being a true suspend save, it just saves everything except for your current location, so when you reload your file, you'll respawn at the last save point you touched but with all other progress kept. Furthermore, suspend-saving doesn't exit the game; you can continue to play, effectively making it a form of insurance. Later games would implement suspend saves in a more conventional manner. | |

New World Tease | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_52c791eb | comment |
New World Tease: Some areas offer a sneak-peek on them before sending you backtracking for items that let you properly inside. This is also used as a plot point. After passing through the warp in the Room Of Illusion area, Juste notes things seem different compared to before. Turns out, from there to when he went to the Sky Walkway, he'd been in Castle B. When Juste runs into Death again in the Clock Tower and uses the warp there, he figures it out. If the player hasn't, they can look at the map and notice the Treasury they'd explored earlier was in Castle B. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: Collecting all the furniture, and the "Good!", "Cool!", and "Excellent!" ratings you can get for jumping and whipping at the right moment after the post-boss fight orb appears. The orb ratings get you nothing at all, and the furniture quest gets you a very slight change to one of the endings. The Infinite Boots allow Juste to jump in midair perpetually, a useful and fun effect. They're available for 12,000 G in the final Merchant location at the Entrance, and he'll only appear there when Juste's level is 50 or above, which requires grinding several steps above what's gained in a normal playthrough. By the time the shop appears and the boots can be purchased, Juste is almost guaranteed to have the innate Griffin's Wing for less controllable high jumps, and will be strong enough to conquer the rest of the game without needing the added mobility. | |

Suspend Save | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_5a85d4d4 | comment |
Suspend Save: Played with. Using the "suspend" save option doesn't create a one-time save with your current room and other data, it actually saves your game minus the room you're currently in; when you reload, which you can do as many times as you want, you'll be at the last Save Point you touched. Perhaps because of how exploitable this is, future Castlevania games play this trope entirely straight. | |

Luck Stat | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_8ad1328a | comment |
It's possible to get the Ring Of Vlad early using the Ice-Fist Fusion, netting a significant Luck Stat boost early on. The developers even planned for it by rewriting a later conversation, but that's actually rather minor. (The developers were likely expecting players to backtrack here after obtaining the Double Jump, which also allows the player to score the relic.) | |

Backtracking | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03 | comment |
Backtracking: Once Juste gains the ability to travel freely between both castles at warp points, numerous locations can only be reached by altering something in one to cause a change in the other (such as breaking a wall with the Crushing Stone in one castle to remove the same, unbreakable wall in the other castle). Due to the limited number of warp points, this often leads to having to backtrack through certain areas of the castle to check specific rooms. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap: Juste's level maxes out at 99, though that's far more than required (the game can be comfortably beaten in the mid-forties and the best shop unlocks at level 50). Have fun grinding on bats after level 53, considering you get one EXP from everything respawnable after reaching it (and that still applies to bosses after Lv. 59). | |

Tech-Demo Game | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_999be790 | comment |
Tech-Demo Game: After Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was praised for its gameplay but derided for its dark and simplistic graphics, Konami gave the development team a single directive — emulate Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as much as possible. To the team's credit, they got damn close despite the GBA's hardware limitations and lower-res screen — several maps in the game are downright beautiful — but the improved graphics came at the cost of a significantly downgraded musical score. Due to the GBA lacking a dedicated sound chipnote (In reality, the GBA's hybrid solution of the Game Boy Color-era audio chips and processing alternate sound channels through the CPU itself.) and the CPU already under heavy load processing the advanced graphics, the compositions sounded very much like its predecessors on the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It would take the following entry, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, for the team to find the proper balance between visual effects and atmospheric music. | |

Double Jump | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_9af10b44 | comment |
At one point, you get slightly different dialogue with Maxim depending on whether or not you'd found one of Dracula's relics. Most of the relics are inaccessible at that point, and the one that can be found is not easy to reach unless you use the Ice Book/Sacred Fist combination to propel Juste forward. Even without that method, it is possible to backtrack as soon as you get the Double Jump ability and score the relic that way (all before meeting Maxim in the relevant cutscene), but many players won't think to do that. | |

While Juste comments about how things look different after using a teleporter for the first time, players could easily attribute that to being in a different part of Castle A. It isn't until The Reveal that the map shows the bottom-left corner actually being part of Castle B. | |

Metroidvania: Harmony of Dissonance follows most of the same conventions that Symphony of the Night established, with the primary goal of exploration and progression being to unlock the center of the castle by reaching the highest point of the Castle Top Floor (Castle A) and collecting all six of Dracula's relics (Castle B). Juste has a lower amount of progression upgrades than is usual for the genre, and most of what he finds are keys or special pieces of equipment that can destroy barriers. | |

Save Point: The game has the series' most generous save system to date. You can save everything but your position at any time; if you die, you'll load from the last saveroom you used, but without losing any equipment or EXP you'd gained. Similarly, if you want to go back to somewhere around the last save point you used, but don't want to go back there the long way, just perform a quick save, reset the game, and load your file. This eliminates the familiar problem of desperately trying to make it back to a saveroom, low on HP and carrying some precious rare item drop. | |

Space-Filling Path | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_b6c46f43 | comment |
Space-Filling Path: Several rooms have layouts with no obvious purpose beyond making it take longer to go through the room. Often there aren't even actual threats, just lots of walls or floors to go around. For most of the game, the castle itself is an example, as despite its appearance, it's effectively a winding linear path with copious dead ends. The passages that make the castle less linear can only be opened late in the game, and while something like the standard Metroidvania warp system does eventually show up, you spend the first half of the game with warps that only go to one destination. However, after The Reveal, and after you find the proper warp rooms, you have far more mobility around the castle. | |

Mirror World: The game is somewhat similar to Symphony of the Night, except the player does not visit the second castle after visiting the first, but goes back and forth between the castles throughout the game, becoming aware of it around halfway through. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of the skulls in the Skeleton cave resembles that of a giant Crocomire (shown here◊). The ratings you get from catching the boss recovery orbs seem to be reminiscent of DanceDanceRevolution. Death's One-Winged Angel form is reminiscent of the first boss from Strider (Arcade). Maxim plays like Hiryu in some respects. Dracula Wraith resembles one of the bosses in Salamander. The Wizard Urn item's description states "Staring at this urn tends to induce sneezing". This urn looks like the genie's bottle from children's anime Hakushon Daimao, that features a genie (who appeared in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom) known for his powerful sneezes. Using the Fist subweapon will make Juste shout "Ora ora ora!" | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: You are not supposed to hit the Living Armor that gets killed by Talos, since it's a cutscene, thus you can't do anything. But if you get Cross subweapon and Wind spellbook, you can hit it, revealing that its name is Revenge Armor, though it doesn't go to the bestiary. At one point, you get slightly different dialogue with Maxim depending on whether or not you'd found one of Dracula's relics. Most of the relics are inaccessible at that point, and the one that can be found is not easy to reach unless you use the Ice Book/Sacred Fist combination to propel Juste forward. Even without that method, it is possible to backtrack as soon as you get the Double Jump ability and score the relic that way (all before meeting Maxim in the relevant cutscene), but many players won't think to do that. You can access a Castle B warp gate sooner than you're supposed to with use of the double jump and Sacred Fist/Ice book combo, but you need to at least meet Death in the Clock Tower before you can use the gate. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: The "gadget" assistant included in the Castlevania Advance Collection port displays how many items are in each section of either castle, with blue items being relics and red items being optional collectibles. Since Harmony of Dissonance eventually becomes a scavenger hunt for the many Dracula relics and pieces of furniture, this makes it easier to narrow down where everything is. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: Despite actually having Igarashi's involvement (and thus being part of his official canon) unlike its predecessor Circle of the Moon, it still sticks out by IGA's standards: Barring Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, it's the only metroidvania in the series to star a Belmont, and thus Juste is locked to the Vampire Killer rather than having an assortment of weapons (while Nathan Graves only uses the Hunter Whip, he's able to morph it into other weapons using DSS cards). You can dash forward, unlike in other IGA games where you can only backdash. The physics in this game give you moon-like gravity, unlike the more realistic gravity of other games. Suspend Save doesn't work like it does in other games, actually saving data to your file except for your position rather than creating a one-time save. The soundtrack uses the Game Boy Color's audio hardware for music resulting in a more "primitive" music, resulting in music not heard since the 8-bit and Game Boy CV games. | |

Rival Turned Evil | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_f163b235 | comment |
Rival Turned Evil: Two years ago, Maxim left to prove himself better than Juste by finding Dracula's bodily remains, which had been used fifty years prior in Simon's Quest. (Symphony is still forty-nine years out.) Unfortunately, when he did, a dark spirit tried to take him over, and he countered it by removing his memories, but failed to complete the task in time to stop his new evil self from abducting Lydie. His post-amnesia self, only barely remembering that Lydie was in trouble, went to Juste for help, and Evil Maxim did the rest by giving him the idea to help Juste out, which really helped Evil Maxim out because being in the castle helped Maxim get his memory back. The only reason this fails is because Juste defeats Evil Maxim at the end of the game. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: It's possible to visit the Gate in the castle entrance sooner than you're supposed to by using the Ice-Fist fusion. You can't actually use the Gate to get to Castle B (or anywhere else) until after you encounter Death in the Clock Tower, but once you do, you can pull a few shenanigans to get equipment you theoretically shouldn't have. And even in the early stages of the game, you can use the candle just outside to grind for cash, and grab the Platinum Tip for your whip. It's possible to get the Ring Of Vlad early using the Ice-Fist Fusion, netting a significant Luck Stat boost early on. The developers even planned for it by rewriting a later conversation, but that's actually rather minor. (The developers were likely expecting players to backtrack here after obtaining the Double Jump, which also allows the player to score the relic.) | |
