Sisters Mode is an alternative mode in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. In this mode, the player controls Eric Lecarde's twin daughters, Loretta and Stella. this mode is a prequel to the main storyline.
Gameplay
In this mode, the player controls Loretta and Stella on a mission to save their father from the hands of Brauner.
The player can press L to switch between the sisters. The sisters can levitate so all parts of the castle are acesseble from the start. However, to end the game, the second set of portraits must be completed in order to enter Brauner's domain where the final cutscene will be shown. Also, levitating drains MP, so to compenstate this the sisters have VERY quick MP regeneration rate when they land.
The sisters attack by using the touch screen, Stella attacks by swiping the touch screen, while Loretta attacks by using ice magic by touching the touch screen. These attacks consume MP as they are being performed, so care must be taken, lest Stella and Loretta wind up without a method of attack in a hairy situation.
When Brauner's portrait is entered, instead of fighting Brauner, they find Eric in the room, which was severly wounded by Brauner in order to lure the sisters into a trap where he will vampirize them, setting the events of the main story. The game does not save when this happens. As a result, it is impossible to fight Dracula in this mode without a glitch.
Additionally, once 888% map coverage has been acessed, they can gain acess to the Nest of Evil, but this is not for the faint of heart, since all of the sister's attacks do only 1 damage to Gold Skeletons.
