Portrait of Ruin is a pretty good game. If you're wanting help in unlocking everything, I'd suggest completing the hard mode at a level cap of 1 (you get the bonuses of the 50 and 25 caps as well as a third bonus that increases some pretty important stats). My biggest suggestion if you're going to play hard mode at Lv1: make sure you have the Scout Armor and the Berserker Armor before using your clear game data. Given that one save file has 999.8% cleared, the Scout Armor will greatly reduce the damage you take (as with normal equipment, it's very easy to get killed in one hit on hard mode). Now, for the Berserker Armor, I can PM the use for it if you want (so not to spoil it for others), or post here if you want.

Entirely up to you whichever way you do it. I would have otherwise just tried getting through it with "Just don't let the damned things touch me." approach if at all possible. Although I suspect it'd be a lot harder to do that on hard mode if they increase the difficulty radically the way they do in Lament of Innocence. The only claim to glory I can probably claim for this run through was that Jonathan used the Vampire Killer for the entire game, including unlocking the whip's power. Granted, used Charlotte and Jonathan equally but with the use of a few mastered subweapons Jonathan was still able to take out several bosses on his own.

 

I might not attempt hard mode til some time after christmas however. I'm already considering playing through the ps2 castlevanias again.
