Ranged Attacks | Tips Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Shadow Daggers

A ranged attack that you will gain access at the beginning of the game. It allows you to throw a dagger at the enemy, dealing minor damage. Given the amount of damage that this attack do (almost none), you will soon replace it with other ranged attacks.

Usage of Shadow Daggers is necessary in a few places to push the story forward and those occasions will probably be the only ones in which you will use that attack.

Void Projections

A ranged attack offered by the Void Sword. It allows you to freeze (or slow, in case of a bigger enemy) the enemies, making the fight a lot easier. This skill can be (and in some cases, must be) used on waterfalls and some mechanisms (this points are marked with a blue flame) to freeze them and open up a path to a previously blocked / closed place - or, in case of a waterfall, to climb it up to get to a higher place. It's immensely useful against flying enemies, as freezing them brings them down on the ground, when you can fight more effectively.

To use this skill you must have an appropriate amount of Void Magic.

Chaos Bombs

An equivalent of Void Sword's Void Projections - in this case Chaos Bombs are offered by the Chaos Claws. This skill allows you to shoot a special bomb, which deals a decent amount of damage (and destroys the armor of your enemies). It can also be used to fight aerial enemies - even if they won't fall, like in the case of freezing them with Void Projections, a few of those bombs are more than enough to just kill them off. Chaos Bombs are also required to destroy specific points (marked with a red flame), to open a path to previously blocked place or to knock something down.

To use this skill you must have an appropriate amount of Chaos Magic.
