Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) | comment |
The year is 1944. World War II is in full effect; death is common and souls are restless. It is therefore unsurprising that Dracula's castle has revealed itself at this time.Enter Jonathan Morris, vampire hunter and son of John Morris of Castlevania: Bloodlines fame, wielding the legendary Vampire Killer whip. At his side, Charlotte Aulin, his childhood friend and a talented witch, especially for her age. With these two working together, Dracula may not stand a chance.There's just one thing. Dracula's not around.A new vampire has taken control of Castlevania: a Mad Artist by the name of Brauner. And things are different under his rule. The castle keep is unassailable; it is blocked by magic produced by a large number of magical paintings positioned around the castle. Brauner is almost impossible to find, and the main evidence of his presence is the occasional appearance of his twin vampire daughters. A mysterious ghost has been spotted, and he seems to be completely immune to Brauner's influence. And not even Death is happy with this sequence of events. (No, wait, make that "Death's especially unhappy with this sequence of events".)And to top it all off, Jonathan can't even use his whip correctly.Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is a Nintendo DS game released in 2006 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Castlevania series. It boasts a two-character tag system that allows the two characters to work together frequently, an experience-based subweapon system for Jonathan and casting time-based magic system for Charlotte, and a number of non-castle venues accessible via the various portraits. Extra characters and level limits extend the replay value, including one mode controlled entirely with the touchscreen. | |

The two giant sandworms in the two Egyptian-themed levels. Sure, they are just Palette Swap of one another, but each one has its own entry in the bestiary, and they never reappear after having been killed. Well, the one in the first desert level does, but it's at the opposite side of the level. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: This is the third major game in a row to remix Haunted Castle music, using "Cross Your Heart" as the music for the Dark Academy, now renamed "Crucifix Held Close". Not surprisingly, "Iron Blue Intention" from the direct predecessor Castlevania: Bloodlines is remixed. Portrait also has the first remix of the "Overture" from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. In something of a gameplay callback, the last third of the game consists of visiting inverted versions of previous paintings, in which most of the bosses you fight come from the original game. The only exception is the Werewolf, which hails from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood In the final boss battle, Death offers up his power to enhance the "not fully resurrected" Dracula. Dracula absorbs this power with a cry of "Soul Steal!!" | |

Arrange Mode: Sisters Mode, unlocked by beating the game, is a prequel to the main game that features Stella and Loretta, who attack using the touch screen. Richter Mode, unlocked by beating the "Whip's Memory", has you control Richter and Maria, who use their sub-weapons from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Old Axe Armor mode, unlocked by killing at least 1000 Old Axe Armors in normal mode and beating the game, is a mode where you play... an Old Axe Armor. Just one, who's very weak, and can't use items, and has only two subweapons. | |

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Averted with the Sanctuary spell, which is described as curing all abnormal status conditions of anyone within range. This would make it a useful spell to keep handy, but it has a long casting time and an obscene MP cost. Once you have it, your only other hint that it's the way you cure the twins of their vampirism is when Charlotte mentions that she might be able to help now. And, as part of the aversion, you now have to pull the spell off in the middle of a boss fight. | |

If you activate the Stopwatch subweapon to freeze time and throw knives, they will stop dead in the frozen time after leaving Jonathan's hands the same way Dio does it in Stardust Crusaders. Also, Charlotte has a time-stopping spell and shouts "Subete yo, tomare!" ("Everything, stop!") when activating it, referencing Dio's classic "Toki yo, tomare!" ("Time, stop!") line. | |

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_3c700857 | comment |
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: While a rather loose example as Charlotte can use (magic-assisted) special attacks, Charlotte is more useful using spells that all have a sort of horizontal reach. Jonathan is usually better equipped to fight close range and has higher defense. Jonathan can also be unequipped with a weapon and he will fight bare fisted, an action that can't be duplicated with Charlotte. This is more straight with Richter and Maria. Maria has no physical attacks and only has projectiles. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: While Vincent says he's grateful if you cure him of his vampirism, he sure doesn't show it. He refuses to give the heroes a discount despite everything and to twist the knife further, his spoken dialogue changes if you enter his shop while he's a vampire, with him begging, "I'll lower the price... I'll lower the price!", of which he does no such thing. | |

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_41435fc2 | comment |
Pie in the Face: Jonathan gets cream pies (literally not metaphorically!) as a subweapon. They do heavy "Dark" damage, and thus at a suficient level, will completely smear the "Light"-aligned Optional Boss. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: The Royal Sword is a reward for an easy sidequest midway through the game, and is not only very strong but boosts several other stats as well. It can quite handily carry the majority of the game for Jonathan. The Golden Axe is the literal strongest weapon in the game and can be bought from the shop, and like all axes can hit enemies twice. The tradeoffs are its slow speed and the fact that, unlike the powered-up Vampire Killer and some other weapons, doesn't inflict elemental damage, only physical. | |

Gender-Restricted Ability: Aside from the battle against Astarte the girls really get shafted in the ability department of this game (aside from Stella and Loretta but they get their own problems later on not related to gender). The girls can't traverse parts of the castle on their own, they can't reach certain areas by themselves, and in general due to not being as combat equipped take a backseat hard to their male partners. On the flip side, they boast magical abilities the men lack, though these are MP dependent and have slow start up that necessitates careful play. | |

Not Completely Useless: Sanctuary and Undead Killer. The former takes a long time to cast and the other does relatively little damage, but the former is required to get to the endgame, and both can render the Red Skeletons and Red Armours Deader than Dead. Undead Killer is also arguably the second best whip to the fully powered Vampire Killer, being mostly similar but downgraded in power and with the aforementioned Red Skeleton and Red Armour killing ability. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The discontinued Nintendo WFC shop mode allowed you to obtain powerful equipment (such as the Rose Stem Whip) much sooner than you'd get them offline. Ditto for local wireless shop mode, which can still be used, if you happen to know someone who also has the game is further along in their save file than you. The Shuriken subweapon, which is one of the best skills in the game. It can easily be bought before the first portrait, and mastered before the second one is finished. There's quite a few, actually, in addition to the Shuriken and Ice Needles mentioned above. The humble Long Spear. A weapon as strong as the fully-powered Vampire Killer (ignoring the other benefits the whip has), but it's the common drop of the Armor Knight, which you can meet in large quantities as early as the second portrait! Nothing outclasses it until the first four Portraits are completed, which means it can hold out as the king of damage for two entire areas. The Heaven's Sword, which you can get in the 3rd portrait. It has great range and can hit multiple times, not to mention that a jump-cancelling technique allows you to spam them really easily. You can easily laugh your way through the first fight with Stella with this weapon. The Medusa Whip, also found as early as the 3rd portrait. Mediocre in terms of pure attack power, but anything weak to Earth will be petrified with a hit from this (with any hits afterwards doing double damage), making a lot of nasty enemies later on trivial. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Averted with the Sanctuary spell, which is described as curing all abnormal status conditions of anyone within range. This would make it a useful spell to keep handy, but it has a long casting time and an obscene MP cost. Once you have it, your only other hint that it's the way you cure the twins of their vampirism is when Charlotte mentions that she might be able to help now. And, as part of the aversion, you now have to pull the spell off in the middle of a boss fight. The Vampire Killer. The story makes a big deal as to how the whip's power is important, but unlocking its power is entirely optional and has no effect on the ending, although unlocking it at some point is required to unlock the Richter and Maria Renard extra mode. Additionally, using the Vampire Killer is stated to drain the life of the user if they're not a Belmont, which is how Jonathan's father died; however, once you unlock its power there is absolutely no penalty to using it as much you want. (Then again, John Morris didn't show the symptoms of his (eventually fatal) whip overuse until some time after he defeated Dracula.) | |

Permanently Missable Content: Some items obtained in the course of exploration are unique. In particular, the Long Sword, an otherwise unremarkable weapon found in the first portrait, is required much later for one of Wind's quests. If you sell it, there's no way to get another one. Other items that can be lost forever prior to their quests include the Amanita, Thick Glasses, and the entire set of Nun's equipment. | |

Ghostly Death Reveal | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_816bc80a | comment |
Ghostly Death Reveal: Early on, Jonathan and Charlotte meet a ghost who calls himself Wind. Later on, though, Wind reveals himself to be the ghost of Eric Lecarde, one of the protagonists of Bloodlines and a friend of Jonathan's father John Morris. In the interim Eric was killed by Brauner but managed to bind his own spirit to Dracula's Castle. | |

The Great Serpent: Subverted. When the player reaches the boss arena in the Nation of Fools, a giant snake erupts from the ground and menacingly stares at them. However, it soon takes on a feminine form, revealing itself to actually be the gorgon Medusa in disguise. | |

Puzzle Boss: The Dullahan does massive damage to your level 7 or so characters with their minimal equipment, and it is unrealistic to dodge everything he throws. The solution? He'll never use his most damaging attack if you focus your attacks on his head. Alternatively, one may notice that this boss, like every other in the game, telegraphs every single major attack. | |

Cerebus Retcon: The Vampire Killer is an Artifact of Doom that drains the life of those who wield it, at least if one is not a Belmontnote However, that's only if the wielder specifically chooses to unlock the full power of the whip: it's possible to use the whip as just a basic (albeit weak) leather whip without any negative consequences, and this is in fact what the Belmont family intended when they gave the whip to the Morris family. Only the unscheduled reappearance of Dracula's Castle forced this side effect to the fore. | |

Continuity Nod: Many parts of the "Great Staircase" area, such as stair rooms with the hill guards or the staircases with the skeleton gunmen, are quite recognizable to anyone who has played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Once considered a Gaiden Game for not starring a Belmont, Portrait ties Castlevania: Bloodlines into the main continuity. It also clears up the identity of a certain spear that got Lost in Translation. Also, in the Nest of Evil, almost all of the bosses are from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but there are a couple which are instead from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The music leading to Dracula's throne is the music for the approach to Dracula's throne in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. | |

The first round of combat with Death. Up to this point, the player may not have exactly had much in the way of hard bosses aside from the two above. Death? Makes the aforementioned two bosses look like toddlers in comparison. Simply put, the player needs to mix up their attack elements as appropriate for the enemy if they wish to have a fighting chance. Even with that in mind, prepare for a long fight. Heavens have mercy on those who venture into this fight in Hard Mode without Ancient Armor... | |

A rare case of this being done for gameplay purposes. Astarte's Temptation attack would essentially be an instant Game Over if Old Axe Armor were considered male, as they don't have a partner.

Game-Favored Gender: Downplayed. Jonathan has superior physical defense and offense, and late game, gets access to some extremely powerful weapons, but Charlotte's fully charged spells easily outstrip him in damage early game if you can play around the slow start-up. In addition, several of her spells (Raging Fire) are excellent at crowd control, while others (Gale Force, Rock Riot) allow her to cheese out enemies by hitting them from positions where they cannot retaliate. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The full-powered Vampire Killer, which requires defeating an Optional Boss. It isn't the strongest weapon in the game (an honor belonging to the aforementioned Golden Axe), but it's extremely fast, has a wide range, and inflicts Holy damage, which most enemies, including the Final Boss, are weak to. Most weapon classes have a clear ultimate weapon. For swords, the Damascus Sword (highest ATK) or Stellar Sword (slightly weaker but Holy elemental) will tear through enemies, particularly if you exploit swords' ability to Lag Cancel. The Holy Claymore is an incredibly strong Holy-element greatsword which also buffs INT by quite a bit. The Golden Axe doesn't deal Holy damage unlike most ultimate weapons, but compensates with the highest ATK value in the game and axe-class weapons' natural ability to hit twice. The Kaiser Knuckle has the highest ATK value of any fist weapon, a very generous hitbox, and the ability to hit twice per attack. The Illusion Fist trades that for the ability to attack quite literally as fast as you can mash the button, and can be easily the most damaging weapon in the game for this reason. | |

Unique Enemy: The two giant sandworms in the two Egyptian-themed levels. Sure, they are just Palette Swap of one another, but each one has its own entry in the bestiary, and they never reappear after having been killed. Well, the one in the first desert level does, but it's at the opposite side of the level. The dodo, the giant ghost, and the king ghoul, all required for sidequests. The dodo behaves exactly the same as it did in Symphony. | |

Previous Player-Character Cameo: The Whip's Memory is Richter. In the Nest of Evil, you fight copies of Trevor, Grant, and Sypha. Also, the Greatest Five Dual Crash, which makes cameos of the previous wielders of the Vampire Killer - in order, Richter, Leon, Trevor, Juste, and Simon Belmont. | |

Alien Geometries | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_b3bdf232 | comment |
Alien Geometries: The circus levels are both ring-shaped, and while gravity for the playable characters and items is always down, everything else is oriented based on its position in the level. In fact, from her perspective, Medusa is bending over backward for her boss fight, and when she dies, she collapses to the ceiling. If you fight Medusa in the Boss Rush mode, she collapses to the floor instead. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_b915b765 | comment |
Boss-Altering Consequence: After an arduous trek through the Nest of Evil, which involves dealing with an army of Demonic Spiders and bosses from Dawn of Sorrow, you finally come face to face with the Doppelganger. The Doppelganger can copy your attacks and equipment, which would normally make them the hardest fight in the game. The equipment they have however depends on what you had equipped prior to entering their boss room, allowing the player to either increase or decrease the difficulty of the fight depending on their choice of equipment. | |

Sanctuary and Undead Killer. The former takes a long time to cast and the other does relatively little damage, but the former is required to get to the endgame, and both can render the Red Skeletons and Red Armours Deader than Dead. | |

To make things worse, the lower the level cap is, the greater is the fixed attack bonus enemies will get, and on Level 1 Cap, even the smallest Bat can deal over 100 damage. | |

Shout-Out | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In contrast to the Castlevania remixes found in the other late-game paintings, the music in the second desert level is remixed from the MSX game King's Valley II. Dracula's appearance in this game is based on Bela Lugosi's version, which was rarely used after the 3rd and 4th generation games. One of the most useful weapons in the game is Nebula, a chain whip that homes on enemies and can form a protective shield with its special attack. Nebula. Chain. Nebula... Chain... Nope, doesn't ring a bell! The Knee Strike was "inspired by legendary martial artists." The three award items, Vic Viper, Twinbee, and Konami Man, are references to The Goonies video game for the Famicom. The description for these items are "5000 points", which is the amount the player receives if he/she catches the item before it disappears. The description for the fedora says it just feels right with a whip. The leather whip's description as being for a warrior with panache could plausibly be a reference to the same. The description for the tinned spinach says it may give the illusion of increased muscle mass, likely a reference to Popeye. That Griffon Wing Jump is unmistakably a Shoryuken. Specifically a Ken-style one, as it includes fire. Salamander, Charlotte's most Awesome, but Impractical expensive spell, summons a fire lizard. It runs around just like the titular creature. The Axe Bomber "dual spell" is the Cross Bomber, one of the Hell Missionaries' tag-team finishers in Kinnikuman, complete with "Magnet Power" effects. The boss of the London-esque 13th Street is the Werewolf. Hm... That seems familiar... Jojos Bizarre Adventure references turn up in Portrait of Ruin: If you hold up for a couple seconds, Jonathan and Charlotte will strike fabulous poses. Charlotte in particular strikes a pose similar to one of Jolyne's poses, while Jonathan appears to use a mirrored version of one of Jonathan Joestar's poses. If you activate the Stopwatch subweapon to freeze time and throw knives, they will stop dead in the frozen time after leaving Jonathan's hands the same way Dio does it in Stardust Crusaders. Also, Charlotte has a time-stopping spell and shouts "Subete yo, tomare!" ("Everything, stop!") when activating it, referencing Dio's classic "Toki yo, tomare!" ("Time, stop!") line. A subtle one, but the duo's "JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE!" banter references Rugrats - a character named Charlotte Pickles keeps on calling Jonathan. The inventory sprite for the "Eye for Decay" headwear looks just like a scouter from Dragon Ball Z. | |

Polite Villains, Rude Heroes | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_cd99383e | comment |
Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: Brauner and Death see each other as the main threat to their own goals, and between that and their Affably Evil natures, they don't put much effort into antagonizing the protagonists beyond petty dismissal. Meanwhile Jonathan tends to overcompensate for his issues and these snubs by acting overly confident and aggressive against his enemies. This reaches the point that Death's boss battle is one that Death explicitly does not want to have, and he is literally goaded into it. | |

Lethal Joke Item | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_da1c64ef | comment |
Lethal Joke Item: The Cream Pie, once mastered. It is very effective against the Whip's Memory (Richter Belmont), as it does Dark damage, which is his elemental weakness, as well as being easy on the MP (allowing for spamming) and having decent range. Ancient Armor, a very rare drop from Old Axe Armors. It forces every damage hit to deal 10% of the player's health, regardless of their defense. While this doesn't seem to be useful on a normal playthrough, it becomes extremely valuable for players planning on venturing in Hard Level 1 difficulty. | |

The end of the game makes it clear that he was never absent, just suppressed by Brauner. | |

Ship Tease: The game hints at Charlotte having a hidden crush on Jonathan. Some of the items you can find are a wedding dress and the engagement ring, which are bound to give some fans ideas. From the way Jonathan and Charlotte interact with and tease each other so often — including in the good ending — it is already way too obvious that they are more than just close friends, hinting that they have sincere feelings toward each other. Someone apparently forgot to tell the manual writer, though, since the manual outright says their relationship is "platonic". | |

Fake Difficulty: A room in the Nest of Evil's 5th gauntlet contains a pair of Creatures. This is basically throwing a proper boss that's already cheap anyway because it can shoot lightning at anywhere in the room from anywhere in the room, and throw in another one. Enjoy getting shocked, shot, and blown up from off screen because you can't see what the other one is doing, and obviously can't fight back from that distance because your projectiles disappear for no reason, while the enemy's shots can go from one wall to the other with no problem whatsoever. | |

Wolfpack Boss | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_e57bd3dd | comment |
Wolfpack Boss: The fake Dracula's Curse protagonists who, much like their appearance in Symphony of the Night, show up as bosses, though here it's in the optional Nest of Evil area. With all of them attacking at once, that makes this a trio boss. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: The boss of the Egypt stage can use a Charm spell on Jonathan. As the boss is female, and Charlotte is straight, benching Jonathan takes part of the difficulty out of the fight. | |

Combination Attack | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_e69e12b2 | comment |
Combination Attack: Lots of them. Both Jonathan/Charlotte and Stella/Loretta have some potent ones. And that's without mentioning the final battle against Dracula and Death. | |

The Vamp | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_eae41a | comment |
Astarte, one of the female bosses, has an attack that makes either Jonathan or Richter fall in love with her. In gameplay terms, this means that the player loses control of them and is automatically forced to control the female partner (Charlotte for Jonathan, Maria for Richter). If the player is controlling a girl, the attack has no effect. The charmed male character will help Astarte fight Charlotte or Maria. | |

Sprite/Polygon Mix | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_ed3c6b4c | comment |
Sprite/Polygon Mix: For some reason, the Peeping Eye enemy is the only one in the game rendered with polygons instead of the usual sprites. Also, the intro is done in CGI. Similar in quality to that of Final Fantasy Tactics, the War of the Lions, but it's less noticeable. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Astarte, one of the female bosses, has an attack that makes either Jonathan or Richter fall in love with her. In gameplay terms, this means that the player loses control of them and is automatically forced to control the female partner (Charlotte for Jonathan, Maria for Richter). If the player is controlling a girl, the attack has no effect. The charmed male character will help Astarte fight Charlotte or Maria. For Zacchino, he always does Touch Damage, but he has an action if he gets too close. If he gets close to Jonathan he will kneel and take out a sword saying "DIE!". If the player is controlling Charlotte he will do the same action but take out a harmless flower. If Charlotte leaves he says "Don't reject me!" but doesn't turn any more hostile than he was before. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Dullahan, the very first boss. Mostly because his attacks are hard to dodge and he can nail you in 3-4 hits. Using Charlotte can make him easier with the right spells, which serves as a helpful reminder that you have another character to use. Astarte as well: going in with just Jonathan is suicide due to her Temptation attack, and at the same time, Charlotte can barely scratch her due to her towering magical defense. If Dullahan is the game's way of reminding the player that they have multiple characters for different situations, Astarte is the game's way of forcing the player to learn to switch them back and forth on the fly. The first round of combat with Death. Up to this point, the player may not have exactly had much in the way of hard bosses aside from the two above. Death? Makes the aforementioned two bosses look like toddlers in comparison. Simply put, the player needs to mix up their attack elements as appropriate for the enemy if they wish to have a fighting chance. Even with that in mind, prepare for a long fight. Heavens have mercy on those who venture into this fight in Hard Mode without Ancient Armor... | |

Barrier Change Boss: Death can change his cloak color from the standard black (in which he's weak against spells and resistant to physical attacks) to white (in which he resists spells but is weak against physical attacks) and back again throughout the battle. | |
