Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia/Modes

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Beating the game for the first time will unlock new modes.

Hard Mode

When creating a new game, hard mode difficulty can be selected.

Albus Mode

When creating a new game, Albus can be selected instead of Shanoa. Albus mode is similar to a normal play through except playing as Albus. The menu is not accessible so Albus can not change equipment, glyphs, or relics. Breakable objects will always drop hearts. Albus can collect HP Max up, MP Max up, and HEART Max up. Albus levels up by gaining experience from kills.
