The first is iconic, the third brilliant, the fourth creepy and the fifth is the best of them all. The final one I can’t remember, I’m always so stressed about surviving.

I did what I could to avoid getting hit by the spike presses (only to get killed on any non-easy difficulty by Medusa, Broken Glass Man, the wonky collision detection spike column gauntlet, or more insultingly, the bat right after said gauntlet or the skeleton that’s nigh guaranteed to hit you if you don’t have an axe), and when I played the original Castlevania again, I was pleasantly surprised to see it worked there, too.

Speaking of that gauntlet, it’s also one of the more irritating places to get through without taking damage for anyone not around Simon height in Harmony of Despair’s entirety of Castlevania DLC stage.
