Belmont’s Curse Makes Parrying Matter
A player who mostly relied on ranged attacks and movement tools in Belmont’s Curse hit a wall with boss Mammon, then found parrying was the answer.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Belmont’s Curse throws a lot at the player at once, with rooms packed with arrows, lasers, axes, icicles, boulders, and birds. The game also gives Rose Belmont a big set of tools, but that can make it hard to keep track of everything.
The player writing about the game says they usually stick to ranged weapons like the spear and whip, plus movement options like the air dash, thorn whip, and slide. That kept them safe most of the time, until they reached the boss Mammon.
Mammon was a tough fight. The boss bounced around the arena, fired lines of flame, and slammed down on Rose while tracking her position. Trying to run from one attack often led straight into another.
After watching a speedrun, the player saw that parrying was the key. Even though they do not usually like using parry mechanics, it worked fast. They beat Mammon in just a few tries and came away with a better sense of when to try new tools instead of relying on the same strategy.
