Did a little more 'splorin'. Not too much. My Crow evolved into a "Bone Wing". By God, is that thing absolutely VICIOUS. I thought the Golem was a fighter, this bird doesn't let ANY enemy rest. Also, entered the forest and saw St. Germane face off against the strange bald dude. I wonder what's going on...

Continued my adventures in the Aqueducts. Fishmen are SURPRISINGLY annoying, but they were kind of bastards in Castlevania 3, so I guess I should have seen the writing on the wall now that they can leap around like fleamen. Beat the boss here, the Skeleton Fisherman. I even stole his sushi lunch, lol. Gained the Crow ID, and can now Glide to normally unreachable locations.

Continuing my Chronological Castlevania journey with Curse of Darkness. After having played Lament of Innocence a while back, I had an idea on how the gameplay would function, but I was in for a surprise. Everything felt WAY smoother, combat was much more responsive and less stiff, exploration made it feel more like a real 3D SotN, and the Innocent Devil system is just a neat little mechanic. Getting a lot of enjoyment out of it, and I've only felled two bosses so far. Also, It's really fun to learn of Hector and Isaac prior to the anime. Gotta say, while I love their portrayals in the show, they're delightfully fun to witness in the game.

A while ago, I started a journey to play through each of the Castlevania's I have in my collection in Chronological Order. I started with Lament of Innocence, and now I've finally gotten around to playing Castlevania III. It's a bit harder than I realized, but not so much as I feared. Helps that Quick Save is a thing in this collection.

Anyway, found Sypha, and proceeding onward.
