While I have had the game for years I never got far because starting over from scratch on each run annoyed the hell out of me. I decided to try it again and showed my eldest. He wanted to play it so I put it on his system. He beat the non-DLC end boss the same day. It was even on his first try. At first I felt like a slow old man but in a way I am proud he was able to do that as in a “That’s my boy” way. It was not more than a week later I almost beat the non-DLC boss. Since then we both have been seeing what all we can unlock and beat in the game since I have all the DLC for it. From what he has told me the Dracula end boss that is part of the Castlevania DLC is really really hard and has not been able to beat it yet. We will see how things go.
