A full walkthrough of one of the best games in Castlevania series. It was released on Sharp X68000 and later on PS1 as CV: Chronicles (original version was also included along with a remake).
The game is very hard. Mainly because enemies begin to give 4 points damage very early - on third stage of eight. While there is a herb item that can heal some damage, it is very rare and takes insane amount of hearts for a single use so it is much better to take a weapon instead of it - like axe or cross.
If you are interested in certain stages, here they are:
1:28 - Stage 1.
5:14 - Stage 2.
9:41 - Stage 3. This stage is one of the hardest. While the beginning is not too difficult, ice floor in the last part of this level gives many problems.
15:30 - Stage 4.
20:45 - Stage 5. Probably the most difficult level in this game. And to make things even worse, the boss here is very fast and its attacks are mostly random.
26:40 - Stage 6. Nothing too hard. But do NOT approach boss while you have any hearts.
32:10 - Stage 7. Very long stage, yet it is not very cruel to player. A good place to calm down a little before the final battle.
40:12 - Stage 8. Hard. The only healing item on the whole stage is hidden just before its most dangerous part. Also, Dracula is a very difficult boss and his second form can easily corner you - this almost certainly means quick and painful death.
