Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia/YMMV

• Breather Boss: Wallmaster. Also happens to be a Puzzle Boss, but he certainly counts for this since every other boss in the castle counts as That One Boss.
• Contested Sequel: Its difficulty in comparison to other Metroidvanias, level design, and the choice of a sexy female character as a protagonist has generated controversy over the game.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: A lot of it. It is a Castlevania game, though, so what did you expect? Rhapsody of the Forsaken is just one example.
• Demonic Spiders: A lot of the later enemies. The hammer and weapon wielders in the bonus levels are most notable.
  • Tin Men as well. Also, Cave Trolls.
• Fan Nickname: A variation. Before the game was released, Brachyura was known as Blacula due to a fan's mistranslation.
• Game Breaker: Nitesco combined with any weapon creates a giant sword that can hit nearly anything on the screen. Its light elemental makes it extremely strong against most enemies, and it gets stronger every time you use it. Add on the Death ring (or two), plus Dominus Agony, and you can destroy ANYTHING that doesn't absorb light or fire elemental attacks.
  • Except the Giant Enemy Crab...
• Goddamned Bats: The Tin Men.
  • Quite a few other enemies, especially later in the game.
  • An early example being the Skull Spiders on Hard Mode (without the bonuses of NG+). They have been the bane of this troper's existence, causing me to repeat the Tymeo Mountains over a dozen times.
• Harsher in Hindsight: During the tutorial, Barlowe says "So armed, you can wield Glyphs against your foes. Imagine I am one of them, and strike!" Guess what happens later in the game...
• Tear Jerker: The ending, where Shanoa smiles for Albus, who sacrifices his life.
• That One Boss: Blackmore fills the screen with projectiles and attacks that will kill you in about 4 hits. I hope you're good at dodging.
  • Unless you equip Onyx accessories and use Nitesco.
  • Also, Eligor, a giant mecha centaur knight which you have to be very used to its patterns to beat easily, especially when you're on its back. Also, Gravedorcus gives you little room to dodge and is surprisingly durable.
• The Woobie: Shanoa. She got manipulated into resurrecting Dracula by none other than the man who raised her, who also stole her memories and emotions.
