"The Prison Beyond" Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Hard LV1, Part 3
Hello again to another part of the Level 1 series. Per the usual, we're keeping this day streak up, and then blowing it to the ground because... it was inevitable.
4-2-2022 (Part 1)
This is the section I dreaded the most. There were flying bats everywhere, and the enemies are rampant and speedy. It didn't help because haha big damage. However, we went in, and escaped easily enough, with some hiccups here and there. The first of many MP Ups and HP Ups were obtained in the Prison Break.
Bats are faster, and spawn more frequently.
Invisible Man uncloaks faster, and his attacks have no cooldown.
Dragon Zombie is faster, and possibly has a new beam attack.
Frozen Shades and their base attacks are both faster. The Icicles summoned during its other attack is increased from 3 to 5.
Slimes were faster.
