The Earthquake Punch is an advanced attack skill found in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games. It is generally performed by charging the Area Attack button while blocking. This releases a powerful ground punch which is capable of knocking down nearby grounded enemies or destroying them in one blow. The Direct Attack counterpart to this attack is the Tremor Punch.
Description[]
In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, this move is possible as soon as the Dark Gauntlet is obtained. The amount of charging necessary can vary. Attacking without charging results in a relatively weak blow. Holding down the attack button charges the gauntlet until it flashes for maximum power. The punch occurs as soon as the button is released. This can also activate some switches found on the floor in the Castle. The Aerial counterpart to this attack in this game is the Avalanche Punch, which will release its explosive energy towards the ground while Gabriel is still hovering. Gabriel will hover in the air while charging this attack.
In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, no relic is necessary to gain this attack. The power of this attack does not depend on how long it has been charged. The punch occurs as soon as it has been charged for long enough. In this game, the move can also be performed in the air, which will cause the player to quickly smash down to the ground.
