Sacred Fist

The Sacred Fist is a sub-weapon in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. When used, Juste will attack with a flurry of punches to strike enemies repeatedly. When used when an Aurora Ring is equipped, its reach increases and has a higher range. When combined with a Spell Book, the sub-weapon can attack with elementally-improved melee attacks, such as an Ice-encrusted rushing punch or an energy ball when used with Wind. While the Sacred Fist does not appear as a sub-weapon in later games, it may have inspired the Divine Strike attack and the Dark Gauntlet.

Notes[]

A useful exploit can be performed by equipping the Sacred Fist and the Ice Book, allowing the player to reach certain ledges that are intended to be accessed later in the game. To use it, equip both items, jump toward a seemingly unreachable ledge and at the peak of the jump activate the spell (↑ + ATTACK). If performed correctly, the animation will make Juste to slightly hop upward and lunge forward in midair, allowing him to land on the ledge. This can be used to get Vlad's Ring and Logoth's Ring early in the game, as well as the Platinum Tip once the Sylph Feather (double jump) has been acquired.

Trivia[]

This attack could be a reference to Pegasus Seiya's most famous and often used attack, the Pegasus Ryūsei Ken in the manga/anime Saint Seiya, or to Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum stand, introduced in Part 3 of the manga/anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
- Furthermore, when using this subweapon, Juste yells: "Oraoraora!", a common Japanese battle cry used in anime/manga usually heard when someone is charging toward an enemy, and which originates from said stand.
- Other attacks that also reference the aforementioned stand are Maria Renard's Guardian Knuckle and Soma Cruz's Guardian Cagnazzo.
The Wind Book combination fires a bluish projectile resembling the Hadoken from the Street Fighter series.
