I feel like you're actively trying to get these threads deleted and shoved off to /vg/
I haven't played boss rush yet. Why does it suck?
>edition
Stop that.
No matter what people say about this game, I will always enjoy it simply because it's a game that lets me teleport behind an enemy and slice it with a katana
/vg/ already has a Bloodstained thread even has the same picture in op as this one
Doesn't have half of the bosses in it. No real rewards.
>Doesn't have half of the bosses in it.
What the fuck? Well that's retarded.
GOG MAGNET LINK WHEN?
ng+ worth it?
You'll steamroll the whole game even on higher difficulties, so if that's what you want then sure.
>tfw stuck at 99.50% map completion
I know it's probably just a bunch of breakable walls I'm missing, but does anyone know of any areas on the map that a give a large percentage that are easy to miss? I'd love to just stumble into some massive room and get most of the remaining percentage, though I doubt it'll be that easy.
Post your map
I think this game is too easy and I have only one functional hand.
I went for quite awhile without finding the breakable ceiling in the hallway before the Gebel boss fight, and there's like three whole rooms up there
What about 1.04?
The quest for max luck continues.
I hate monkeys so much
Don't the Valkyrie horns give more luck than the ribbon?
>this bunny butt
You need to equip the near sighted lens so that you can zoom it, dawg
Shame the menu viewer for Miriam doesn't fully rotate.
I don't have them despite hitting 100% map completion.
Here. Like this
When are we gonna get permanent outfits to unlock?
Since bunnies are for breeding, you thing Miriam turning into a bunnygirl makes her hornier, and her holes more pliable?
X marks the spot
No. I don't think that at all. You fucking weirdo
Holy shit dude, thanks a lot. Some of them seem so obvious now. I'm retarded.
That was for
I just took someone else's 100% map and overlaid yours in paint I did the same thing[\spoiler]
user forgot to mark this part as well
mods will fix it
Hey, that's pretty clever lol.
Thanks man.
Dont wait on it. They can't even release patches without breaking the game.
sweet fucking jesus. not being able to change Miriam's tops is a fucking sin against humanity
PSA: This is where you farm the damn insects.
Yeah but the shitty part is that they don't spawn if you rush through with Accelerator.
so being able to jet propel myself around is nice and all but how the fuck do i open the chests i find?
Boss Rush mode is way too fucking easy.
Koji Igarashi did it. He probably has sold a million copies already.
Probably gonna lavish his mistress Mana with gifts. They're living it up. He's probably getting her pregnant this moment.
Techniclally you can, but the only other option is even less revealibng.
holy fuck
come back later
>worked on the game
>Yea Forums actually likes it
Is...is this what happiness feels like?
You can't right now, just keep going and you'll be able to open them later
you're not a jap though? fuck off fangamer soiboi
defeat the boss in the desert.
fuck you the graphics are shit
You did good user. You did good.
Where's the REAL valkyrie outfit, asshole?
WHERE AND WHEN DO I GET THE VALKYRIE OUTFIT
post pictures of it too
The game looks like shit.
how do I unlock miriam's cunny bunny outfit
MIRIAM GET ON MY CHAIN
the same place as anti-spikes armor
the very top of the twin dragon tower
beat up the bunny ladies outside the train
theyre worth maxing out too and their attacks scale with int
How do you get this suit?
Do you think he's gonna get a sexy bunny outfit too?
Tell us;
1. What did Wayforward do?
2. How badly did Inti-Create mess up?
Where can I find this weapon?
Do those faeries say "fuck you" when you hit them?
Probably the thing that fucks me the most in this game is screen transitions. I went back to SotN to see if I was crazy and no. The transitions were better there.
See, in RotN, the screen just hard cuts to black and then hard cuts back in. But in SotN, the game has a brief, almost unnoticeable fading effect. It's super fast, just 2 or 3 frames of transitioning from into black and then back into the game, but damn does it make a difference.
in japanese they say "itai" which means that hurts or it hurts. youre basically bullying a little fairy into being your stockholm syndrome slave.
>have sexy ass shoulder less dresses
>they dont change the model
WOOOOOOOOW
1. They showed IGA the way forward.
2. They inti-created a lot of problems.
Kill Lili for their shard then equip and use the shard.
Thats cute. Go fuck yourself fag
Go away Carlos no one likes you
There's been threads for 3 days straight, all hitting max replies, and I'd say about 80% of the posts are positive.
everything to do with the final secret boss is amazing. the item you unlock just to be able to reach it, the shard you get, the extra bonus you get, it's all great.
Finally beat the game. The ending did feel a little rushed, and the Secret Garden, but BIGGER level was kind of a drag, but I still found the game to be thoroughly enjoyable. Now to go for 100% map completion/getting my ass kicked by bonus bosses.
The duality of man
The lack of reading comprehension.
The idiocy of user
People are going on about it being a 5 hour game, but I'm playing on normal, have been playing for 10 hours, and I've only completed like 45% of the map, rounded up.
Did everybody just use a guide for their first run or something?
How the fuck do I get to that area in the towers?
Yeah actually fuck the Den of Behemoths. The map percentage made me think I had like three or four solid, interesting areas left but no. 12% of the game was just that shitty place.
>spoiler
Yeah that shit really stood out as super lazy.
Gravity Boots. Press Up and (whatever you mapped backstep to) to high jump.
People are just talking out of their asses desu.
just depends on how you play. I'm at 35% and 6 hours, I'm doing a lot of backtracking/grinding
Invert from the door you took to fight the boss, then fall through the hole in the ceiling.
The castle feels huge, and 100% on everything makes the game feel bigger. 10 hours in so far and trying to max as many shards as I can... only 20% in so far on the map.
I even looked certain things up and made it to 33 hours without even getting 100% item completion or anything like that. And I know I'm gonna play this game again using all different equipment and shards someday
I just beat the game with 19 hrs in game time, lvl 47, 98.5% map completion.
>99.90% map completion
Is there a trick to the Twin Dragons fight?
What do I get when I beat the 8bit boss?
Try attacking.
Speaking of which did they forgot to add in a cutscene during that segment or something? Because that whole transition was just jarring.

flying sword is one of the most underappreciated weapons in this game.
post your map
12-20 hours casual play first time seems to be the average. Depends how much time you blow backtracking/finding everything. I can easily see up to 30 hrs if you're autistic and grind shards
>found a bell

Well.
Flying sword is dope as hell. I just wish you could dual wield it like in SotN.
really because aside from it's low dmg it seemed like a lowkey drake sword tier clutch
>long range
>damages on the way back
>decent arc
right now i'm using that steam powered greatsword though cause with a couple greatsword shards and the attack speed book my AS isn't that bad
reminder to refill on zinc and magnesium between fights
Ok so first roadblock: the blood bitch
I have to do something or its just a dps race before she heals?
can you hide the equipment in this game? namely the helmets, they look stupid as fuck
That's not magnesium...
Tried using that GS. Didn't really feel right since the charge up takes too long for it's pay off and during that time you could be doing something else for DPS. I'm still using that Grinder greatsword with some crit stuff thrown in and shit's still killing things well.
Good Game. Can't wait for the sequel.
Nigga that's just onions from using that gay ass weapon.
protip: hit the boss until she dies, shes weak to holy
oh I don't really use the charge up I just like swinging it
I hear she actually doesn't heal if you manage to avoid getting hit (no blood for her to heal with)
Apparently she's also weak to poison
Just found it. It was the Santa hat room. Funny that I got it once I made a webm of me clicking back and forth on a reference map.
Anons, I can't change the resolution from 720p, please help.
Bandit Blade
You get it from one of the quests where the lady wants you to kill shit. Think it's one of the minibosses.
Semen only has a tiny amount of zinc in it and no magnesium AFAIK, it's nutritional makeup is pretty much non existent. I looked it up
just give her the blood
In the Right Tower of the Twin Towers, go to this room and use the Directional Shift to go underneath the bridge. You won't see the chest, but the prompt will show up when you walk over it.
>inb4 miriam has litters of puppies
at least oracle blade lets you throw two in a row
Do you get anything for beating Hard/Nightmare mode? title or achievement ?
I don't think so. I have yet to play on hard/nightmare and I got everything.
8-Bit Nightmare (crafting item) and 8-Bit Flare shard. Both very low drop rates, though.
I can't change the resolution, please help.
Based. Thanks bro.
What are some must have weapons if I just got to Oriental Lab? Still rocking that second upgrade Encrypted Orchid and the vorpal blade thing but I feel like there might be better options
Install Gentoo
Where do i go after beating the vampire chick?
As stupid as it sounds, just keep hitting her until she dies, and don't worry if she heals, since it's more for show than thousands of restored HP. From my own experience, she popped off the big restore and I just kept hitting her and she died anyways not long after, meaning her HP isn't as high as it could be.
Tossing in a spoiler to help you with the next major roadblock, since it's bullshit design even for an Iga game.
Remember to kill the jellyfish for its shard, since you get fucked almost immediately after with a cryptic school yard scenario for the next part of the game. It will allow you to "swim" underwater until you get the actual white ability to do so.
try changing it to windowed mode then back
How did you grind for the gold and items?
How do i change default outfit in this game. I thought that you only need to change armor? i need some fashion Yea Forums.
I used katanas a lot, and I was able to get Mikazuki or whatever it was called. The one that lets you do the *unsheathes katana* special technique that's all kinds of awesome.
Underneath the gambling boss in Den of Behemoths, next to the chest there's a hidden alcove with another chest.
>check where Oracle Blade is dropped
>Grinder Knights
That's really early. Just the regular Flying Sword carried through most of the game.
for the people stuck in any % of the map that want the 100% the map this is the best map all the secret rooms , boss rooms, etc are marked
You can't, not really. You can change the colors, when you come across Todd, but that's it.
There are only two chest pieces that change your appearance: The Valkyrie dress and the Ex Shovel Armor. Valkyrie dress is decent when you find it, but it will be outclassed by later game pieces. Shovel armor is mostly just for the gimmick of becoming Shovel Knight.
Where do i go after beating the blood bitch? Keep climbing the cathedral?
>rank 4 silver knight
So how do you max him out?
Find a place with a lot of blood.
Go back to the room with the fountain that has all the blood in it.
Good map, but not all the hidden rooms are marked. They're there, just not marked as such.
next playthrough
They don't drop that, the drop the Grinder sword.
All the bells have something, other than the ones that fall ofc.
Unrelated, did anyone else use Dimension Shift in the "3D" section of Twin Dragon Towers and warp inside the tower by accident? Was pretty whack, but mostly useless. Kinda fun though.
does it matter much what gun you use or just the ammo?
How to grind gold?
Am I fucking crazy? How am I supposed to open chests underwater?
wish there was one for all the recipes
Early game carrying shit:
archer guys shard
poltergeist shard
8-bit weapons
break candles
break enemies
equip gold accessory
How much HP does Bloodless have geez? I've emptied m y whole MP bar with Heretical Grinder and she isn't even dead.
These threads will stay until the natural death of the game or smash roster threads die
Where am I supposed to go after I beat the twin dragons?[/Spoiler] I've tried literally everything and see no path forward...
Here is a protip and I will promise you that it will break the entire game so please proceed with caution:
Summon Dullahan Head, rank 9, grade 9. True Shot rank 9, grade 9 is optional as well but you'll be shitting out damage with zero effort.
Same here. I’m just glad that Iga got the message that there are still fans out there who still wants this shit. Also didn’t they say they won’t need Kickstarter for the sequel as well? If so then that’s bloody great.
The only thing I hope is that for the sequel either 505 improves their shit or Iga get help from a group with a bit more experience than 505.
choo choo
There are two paths open to you iirc
>go back and get the photo stuff in town taken care of then talk to OD for the train pass
>kick your way up in the cathedral to sequence break
Talk to OD
The last two areas are so fucking shit. Wished they ended the game on a bang.
You get an underwater walking ability later, just ignore them for now other than noting where they are.
The photo user? The shit that 2 different NPCs told you about? And the fact that you just got an item to continue with THAT? Come on man
Guns do affect the base damage, but all their movesets are the same. The only exception is the Adrasteia which fires a homing shot.
Max out the Augment Gold shard. Get the Accelerator shard. Run through the opening hallway and the next hallway of the castle, killing all the bats and destroying all the candles you run into. You'll be getting 100-2000 gold per candle and some extra for bats. Your MP does get drained during this, so unless your MP regen is high enough or you're wearing Gebel's Glasses, candles will be giving you mana flowers instead.
This is obviously an endgame method as Gebel's Glasses is only available after you 100% the shards and Accelerator comes from the 2nd to last area.
You'll get a shard that'll let you walk underwater later.
I went "max luck" during my playthrough too. It was a two pronged decision.
1.) I wanted maximum item and shard discovery
2.) I intentionally wanted to gimp my strength and defenses just a bit so the game would feel more challenging. I didn't want to ruin the experience by insta-killing everything. Though, I think the hits to my dps ended up being marginal at best because a little extra str and int don't add THAT MUCH more damage.
How much blood do you need to absorb for the achievement?
The guns’ base damage still adds to the bullet’s damage so yes it does matter.
Nevermind I got her lol
I took the photo already. In a drunken stupor I can't remember who O.D. is, just that I thought his name was gay, but I'll figure it out from there. In fact just thinking about his gay ass nickname reminded me who he was. Thanks anons.
Shit I hate this place and don't want to come back but thanks for the help. All these fucking caverns can suck my dick, I'm getting SOTN/AoS/HoD flashbacks in all the worst ways of being hopelessly lost.
Cash or the gold item?
how much money do you need for the mimic shard to do anything
>99.80
Fuck, anyone know what I'm missing?
what do the medals too? I never no-damaged any bosses.
I hope they have some physical preorders though. I like to have my games in boxes, not just in Stea/GOG/EGS.
>playing a Castlevania successor and can't remember the Alucard pallette swap voiced by literally the same guy as SotN
Bloodstained? More like Decent-but-not-very-remarkablestained. He he.
the item, I need to make it once at least too but dunno where to farm for dark matter mats
I'd say its pretty remarkable that the first true metroidvania in 10 years is quite good.
Does he try to sell you Skyrim?
yeah
Valkyrie outfit wasn't really outclassed, if you ask me, its LCK boost is useful throughout the game
nigga u blind
Technically it's still not a "true metroidvania" because it's not Castlevania.
That's retarded, that's like saying Castlevania can't be a true metroidvania because it isn't Metroid.
T-thanks. My vision actually is quite poor.
One way is to wear luck gear and kill the underwater horses in the Forbidden Underground Waterway. They drop a weapon called Ayamur, which you can dismantle into gold. One gold per weapon, though, so you'll want high luck and probably the ring that improves drop chances.
I think they'll improve. a good thing about igavanias is that they're economical as fuck; they could just rip the mortes from this game and put them in the sequel, for example. maybe make one green and give it poison, boom, that's 2 monsters done. this means they'll have more time to work on the grafix and improve the other aspects
of the game.
So for gold you can either try the blue chests in the desert area or break down high grade weapons. For the latter, go to the underwater area, when you have the water walking ability, and farm the water horse. He has a 4% chance to drop a mace that can be transmuted into gold ore. You'll also need 10 alkhast to break it down, but you can farm those from any of the ghost variants.
The dress is still useful when farming for materials, definitely, for that LCK stat. But for other stats, there are better dresses out there.
I found a neet easter egg, if you play the piano with the fairy equiped she sings. also the english voice acter cant sing, id do it with japanese voices for best effect.
WHERE DO I FARM GOLD I hate farming the fucking chests, there's gotta be an enemy to drop it right?
Dark matter may be farmed from the Dark elemental enemy
Wow you are the first to find this, you should make a youtube video on it.
>Stand on top of the train with the painting summon active
best way to get dark matter, farm dark elementals till you get one to drop. dismantle it to get the mats to make one, then make it. then the shop will sell them for about 1k each.
once you get the the fire zone, there is a high level mimic near a save point, it drops the luck plus shard.
once you have the luck plus shard you can craft, not upgrade a passive shard that will let you get 500g 1000g and 2000g bags to drop from candles.
Is there a better dragon to farm? I need these eggs man
>9 hours in
>still have yet to do a single technique
Abbysal Guardian on the Final Dungeon
The Abyssal Dragon in the Hall of Behemoths has a better drop chance and can drop 2 at a time. He'll of course take longer to kill, though, so weigh that against how quickly you can kill the green dragon.
I hope Anne will become playable.
Poltergeist shard, and stand on top of the train. It will smash 2 passing candles every few seconds. With gold augmenting shard/gear, you can just sit there and rack up gold quickly without having to progress very far.
What you mean the luck passive shard? Iwas talking teh material gold not the money but I need both anyway.
Also is there an upgraded valmanway like?
Nice 3 seconds "boss" lol
...
He's more of a mini boss than an actual one.
Most of the bosses are piss easy anyway, though.
Without spoiling too much do the bosses get better? I've just gotten to the oriental lab or whatever it's called and I must say this game has had the shittiest bosses out of any metroidvania I've played in a good while.
Yes, except it's more like the OG Crissaegrim than the Valmanway, thankfully. You don't have to duck to hit enemies on the ground.
I only remembered he's even considered a boss on ng+ because he has an unskippable cutscene.
Prepare to fight Zangetsu Fullpower
Have you sold those shards, Miriam?
There's one that's made from 4 Rhava Burals and a rare mat or two, the Rhava Velar, but their damage is so outpaced by higher weapons that it's not the best weapon in the game unlike Valmanway or Crissaegrim.
There are a few rare exceptions, but overall no not really.
Why did they drop the ball so hard in the boss department? Shame.
What's that shard called?
Please be patient, avatarfags have the most severe form of autism.
Dude I'm tired. I started working overnights recently in a management position I'm not getting paid extra for. I had to wake up early and now am trying to stay up to not lose my sleep patern. I only interacted with O.D. one time, said "hey that's my boy Alucard" took what I wanted from him and never talked to him again. I then had the photo taken and figured that was enough to progress and it wasn't. Honestly if I didn't ask you guys for help I probably would not have figured it out tonight, because I completely forgot he existed. I'm bad at videya. I'm sorry.
You misremember the Valmanway, its damage was even more outclassed in the Sorrow games than the Rhava Velar. It was garbage, easily beaten by the Claimh Solais even in Dawn where they gave it the shitty windup from PoR
people wanting to see Miriam naked and here I am thinking of Dominique's HUGE funbags
JAPAN NEEDS TO GET TO WORK AND MAKE MORE.
>avatarfags
????
Va Schia, you craft it I think. OP versus big enemies
Also I might be the slowest player ever.
>Don't sell any shards because I'm neither retarded nor poor
>See her being a backstabbing bitch coming a mile away
>"Miriam you fucking idiot! I gained all this power from the shards you sold me!"
OK
Is there different dialogue if you sell her jack fucking shit?
Is it bad if this game if making me want to replay OoE?
It's even more shameful when you remember that all of the bosses in Curse of the Moon are also in Ritual of the Night, and they're handled so much better in Curse of the Moon. Some of them even look better.
Fuck, I forgot about that skyscraper on a stick, Claimh Solais.
I sold a few to her, and after that line I was legit curious if the line would have changed if you didn't sell her any shards. Guess not. Shame.
I just hit her with the poison rapier I been using all game. It wasnt that hard in the end, I just been playing for many hours.
Also
>Found Iga portrait
>doesnt take me to a Tokimeki Memorial stage
I feel robbed
Thanks. I never used the shards I crafted, for some reason. Guess I'll try it on the nightmare run.
what do you keep in NG+?
Same luck stat, but they give you more def for less resist
How should they rebalance it, if at all?
I haven't gotten to try it yet, and it's kinda disheartening to hear that it's easy.
It's okay, I am sure the bosses will be fixed in the upcoming Classicvania mode
Well then as long as you're here, put a bug in someone's ear about adding patch notes so we know what the hell is changing each update.
Everything except the shards you get from bosses and some other progression related items. The other shards, weapons, gear, items, recipes, archives, and even map completion carry over.
Somewhat unrelated but I was playing CoM earlier and I just realized that secret ending with Zengetsu really didn't fucking aged well now did it? Considering Inti got shafted for a good a chunk of the game's development for some reason.
>only trophy left is the one for the 100% item list
This is going to be a hell of a grind, isn't it? Does anyone know if boss medals count for this?
>boss rush alfred
>get petrified at the same time as kill
>bugs out and doesn't proceed
That ending exists just to reference a bunch of Inti Creates' properties. Those are still around, Galgun is still around, Gunvolt is still around.
That's unfortunate
I wish there was a way to make a custom NG+ mode. If it were up to me, I'd remove all shards except Accelerator, but make each shard the rank and grade of my previous playthrough upon reacquiring them. I'd also remove all collected items and set the shop back to default, but retain all the archive entries and crafting recipes
That'd make a nice second playthrough with a fair amount of conveniences, but without turning the whole experience into a joke by giving you a bunch of instawin buttons from the beginning
The entire game is non-canon to RotN, so don't think too hard about it.
Not to mention Inti was canned the moment it was clear they had no idea how to work UE4 and MN9 was an unmitigated disaster, making it a great decision on Iga's part to sweep them under the rug and hire literal who devs that helped finally progress the game along with what was left of the budget.
I’m loving the game mostly, but I keep not using weapons/shards because the kill shit too easily. Just got the flying sword and that shit is nonsense, totally busted even if it’s cool.
>It gets absorbed straight into her bagina
>copy just arrived
>have to do my jog first
Game’s good and I love it, but try not to ruin my fucking save again, you mong.
Also, hire an animator.
Gib Bloodless gf
Zangetsu mode when?
Still the best farming spell
will he be as fun to play as CotM?
Well, hope that was worth the 1500 bucks, buddy.
boss medals to not count and you only have to have owned the item, not to have it on you currently, so you can just craft it and disassemble it immediately to use the materials on something else
that's the fastest way I found to craft everything; a few items are hidden in very obscure chests too but if you go on the steam forums locations for them were posted
I had a good laugh at this.
maybe tell people what it is?
Explain, did a backer pay 1500 only for his portrait to get stuck in a backroom somewhere? Why?
Teps Oseus, drops from the Caelos.
The fire collum spell
If that's the least of your worries, just jog and play the game user. It'll keep you from being a fat piece of shit, which is ultimately more important than videya.
1500 american pounds guarantees your mug as a non-enemy portrait in it's own room. Most of them had that idea played out clearly. This guy's portrait on the other hand..
So what's the point of Celeste's room aside from getting an ear-rape by opening all music boxes?
one WHOLE animator?
Am I going absolutely butt-fucking insane or does the shopkeep SOMETIMES sell monster-drop items and sometimes not? I JUST bought some Flying Beef from her, exited the room, re-entered, and browsed her wares again and now suddenly I can't fucking find it.

>use the bat bullet
>instead of the usual bat-shotgun it summons a single fuckhuge bat instead
The fuck was that? Was it like one of those 1/100 chance of it happening shindigs or was it just a bug?
>demon #44
Damn that was actually pretty spooky. This game needed more moments like that.
Just that.
There were countless gimmick/ambient-rooms like that in the Castlemania games like the confessional box or lookout point in SotN, the cursed toilet in Portrait of Ruin or the goddamn furniture room in Harmony of Dissonance.

>lookup carabosse r34

critical chance
How were you even supposed to find that, is there any hint on it? Why would you sit in the chair for like 2 minutes doing nothing, its not like the scenery is that pretty or anything
It also cut off every other item (Queen's Tail, just for example), too. Just that one time (and a few other times previously) I was able to buy as many monster items as I wanted. It feels like a bug -- there's nothing to suggest that is even an ability, but it just sometimes fucking happens. I don't get it.
WHERE ARE THE SPRITES, IGA
WHERE ARE THE SPRITES
Congrats user
The chair mimic? I sat in a chair in the caves and they instantly woke up and started hopping around
my suggestion would be to 100% the material list first, and get at least 2 or 3 of each material as you're getting them, then get a few millions either by farming or by using cheat engine, you'll never have to leave the starting area again, you can buy the mats for disassembling at the shop and once you crafted a weapon or armor piece it'll always be available for purchase, so as long as you used a material once, you can basically just buy an item that contains it and disassemble it over and over if you need more
>is there any hint on it?
Not that I know of. I had just read something about sitting in a chair on the train until you fell asleep. That fucker killed me almost immediately after spawning. Really wasn't expecting that.
>you'll never be a chair mimic and have Miriam sit on you
Well, most seats in the game do nothing but here the screen zooms in and the scenery moves so it seemed kinda peculiar and some people wanted to see if something else happens after a while like with the piano.
neat
I'll have to keep that in mind. Sadly, it looks like I'm going to need to farm for a lot of gold, since I'm a PS4 pleb and obviously can't use cheat engine.
Yo that'S good too
Where can I find garlic?
Sure there are some gimmicks with sitting down, but it takes forever until something on screen happens
>Alucard started offering the book that makes me run faster
>windup from PoR
Did you forget that Dawn came first? It introduced that.
How good are you guys at crafting? I mean, are you efficient at not wasting a lot of time doing it? In the game and others, like the Gust alchemy games?
I did my best to abuse Disenchanting to save time when I could for cooking. I did some long grinding sessions where I continuously killed portraits over and over for Alkahest because they're so expensive to buy.
My memory sucks, so at times when I needed a bunch of ingredients for a series of cooking recipes, I would jot them down on paper in front of me. I was using the Archive to recall out which demons had what items.
I'm sure somebody out there is better than me at this autistic menuing/item creation stuff and I salute you for it
there's a trick which involves buying rice seeds that has been posted somewhere which basically grants infinite money if you have the patience to sit through it, I can't remember it personally though

I hate bosses in this even more than in the later Igavanias.
I think the two fastest ways to get around prior to getting the HOLD R1 TO FAST from the ninja are to jump and divekick forward repeatedly and, for long stretches of straight paths, use the spear that has the running charge attack. Though that one drains your mana super quick.
It's weird how her hair placement is fucked up in the model viewer but not when you fight her.

Huh, I thought something was off about that. So the black bangs on the model viewer are just Lili's hair?
Finished farming Healing shards and decided to take a nap on the train ride home without saving. Was not expecting that.

>started the convo having already prepared a photo
HNNGGGGHHHHH
I'm at the end of the game and still using Lohengrin, feels like I've had this sword for ages. What should I be using at thing point?
>Semenless bathes in semen thrice a day
What's the name and where do you get the shard that spits out silver canister things? The OP one
Someone explain how this Redbeast's Edge works?
The 8 bit coin gives it a huge attack, and upgrading it with the 16 bit cuts the attack in half.
Also it starts short and stubby until I change maps and then its full size. I fucking hate when it doesn't explain shit.
I got all three of the elemental greatswords and made Durandal. You need Lohengrin, Schedar, and Steel Lightning. Pretty amazing with that running slash technique.
I want it on the switch but I can barely wait anymore.
Where do I get Schedar?
Anyone else get a bug where a portion of the map loses the white outline?
>finally crafted gold and used it to make a bunch of augment gold shards which when combined with the spike breastplate let me grind out ten thousand gold in the span of a minute right inside the shop
>the cycle of endless money has now begun
Feels fucking awesome.
Is there an item that makes boss HP visible? This shit is so fucking frustrating.
I had to buy it from the churchslut. But I think you can get the recipe to craft it if you have the invert shard, I don't remember where though.
why do you need one? just hit them and dont get hit
I want to set the record straight.
Yes, sometimes loot drops from enemies get stuck and can't be collected, but be aware that you still get the item. There's some kind of detection going on where if the item is unobtainable due to "falling" forever, it'll automatically be received. You can get the item by waiting for about 10 seconds.
Or don't wait. Go to a new screen. You'll then suddenly see that item in your inventory. So don't worry about it.
>got double jump
>and ray teleport
>nowhere to go
>Gebel is at the top but I wont fight him, this shit is another SoTN red herring
>cant swim or get pass the spikes at the starting area
Any tips?
Because these fights are long as fuck and I'm not getting any sense of progress here.
Did you fight blood lady? Or cum lady depending on your blood color settings
Already done
Go to the water area and kill one of the tentacle boys for its shard that lets you propell yourself underwater
Okay go there.
I dunno, that's where I am at right now. Exploring the caves. Grinding the eyeball for detective shard
I just got into the caves under the blood at the first area. Silly me how I didnt think of using the bloodraing before.
How the FUCK to beat Alfred on hard? I keep getting him to the slow orbs but his barrage hits like a truck and becomes so difficult to avoid. Using the scrub loadout pictured here with bloodsteal and true arrow.
I think the game is too hard and I have two functioning hands and apparently no brain. Seriously, everything until the fake final boss fight is easy, but then all of the "optional segments" required for the true ending are way harder, enemies hit like a truck and even getting to the boss room required me to keep a full stock of potions because I can't dodge for shit. I wish the game allowed you to make a tank build and just tank all that damage away. I just finally managed to finish Zangetsu's second battle after 20 or so tries, shit's hard.
Is there an achievement for geetting for bad end or is it completely useless unless you wanna see the scene?
I didn't know much anything about this before picking it up. Why is it so fucking good?
>22 Luck
Holy fuck user what have you been doing? Are you level 2 and never ate?
What you said doesn't make senses, how does an achievement make it go from useless to useful?
Didn't notice the two cursed rings?
You can get the Gebel medal by beating him without taking a hit. thats pretty easy when you do lots of optional stuff before
A lot of the cutscenes felt janky as fuck, even the 10 second opening at the beginning felt like it was cut too short and the transition was jarring. This game is way too buggy and janky for a twice delayed, 5 years in development game. At least it's fun.
Well cause otherwise you literally get nothing out of it, not even progress towards 100% completion.
Yes, that's why I said 22 and not 2 as shown on the screenshot.
Oh wait, you took that into account. Is that low? I'm even using the library book for it. Not sure how it'd be any higher. I'm level 37.
That was such a good game. Definitely up there with Sotn and Aria.
>t
You need to eat more desserts.
Yeah, it started happening to me in the underwater segments and kept happening in the lower levels.
it's an igavania, that chart should start high and then plummet and never go back up.
I have around 70. Shards and items everywhere
Oh my god, wait a second. Are first time bonuses from eating permanent? Have I been playing this game all wrong? Oh no. Well, I already thought it was a little on the easy side even on hard so I guess it was a good thing in a way,
[spoilers]All this is pointless once you beat Sanic in race[/spoiler]
Every time a hard game comes out the amount of people humblebragging about how easy the game is absolutely skyrockets.
I remember there was an area where blue chests contained various gems, but I forgot what it was. Anyone?
I think on how to access final area i looked on guide because the game doesnt point it properly.
Most of it people just gave me hints
Difficulty hits rock bottom as soon as you get True Arrow, an 8-bit coin or Rhava, and all of them are right at the fucking start.
Seriously this game can broken in half without any effort, not to mention the insane stat stacking with passive shards and food, how are people having any problems with it.
to be fair the game is easy to cheese, but i dont get it why you would do it
its way more fun backdash cancelling and doing technique combos than spamming true arrow 20 times
equip your strongest boots
double jump and dive to the right dragon
proceed to jump kick him easy medal
I think game wants you to use different weapons on certain mobs/bosses considering the shard for weapon eventually will be skill shard when max.
Pussyyy I got to Gerbel accidentally. Just stumbled into him without knowing. I got the bad end
Finished 100% of the map at around 16 hours. Only asked for the last two rooms and that you have to slash the fucking moon
Because Igarashi is a cowboy-wizard.
Does increasing grade of high jump even do anything? Got it to 6 and notice nothing from 1.
feels like I wasted those cow wings
This isn't a hard game, for fucks sake.
Any multi projectile spell trivializes the entire game and the VERY FIRST SPELL YOU FUCKING GET is one of them.
That's the whole point of eating those, yes.
Wasn't that the twin towers?
>expecting me to pull off repeated quarter circles on a d-pad
The combo inputs are unneccisarily difficult. I'm not going to buy a fucking fightstick just so I can continue to avoid using the shitty ps4 joysticks on a 2d platformer of all things.
It only gives you a miniscule invincibility window after double-jumping. It's not that important.

Underground lake or the lava place, forgot which. One of the cavelike areas anyway.

Kill yourselves
>just started the game
>mfw Poltergeist shard
Please tell me this shit gets weaker really soon because so far it rapes everything compared to what I can muster up in melee
I think retards who can't even do a qcf need to kill themselves before any of the rest of us functional human beings do
You first.
I fucking loved Aria of Sorrow and I'm getting around to playing SOTN after finishing ROB. Will I like this game?
Just practice. I'm using a DS4 too and I just had to spent a few minutes getting used to it while mastering the techniques.
It never really does. It allows you to stamroll 90% of enemies.
The only hard part in this game is getting through its awful story segments.
>Why is it so fucking good?
It has JoJo references
Most probably. Mechanically it's all those games rolled into one, sans the graphics.
The only melee that can compete with spells is the upgraded Rhava.
True Arrow obliterates everything and it's one of the first directional shards you get.
this game is pretty much just Aria but with more content
Can anyone help with the missing 0.2%?
It actually plays well on arcade stick, although a mouse is necessary for the right stick shit.
Why does it cost mp it should've been a fucking armor.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>wasting MP on dumb tech when you can just spam shard spells for more damage instead
lmao @ ur life techlets
>best moment in Curse of the Moon was the final boss on Nightmare mode where Gebel and Alfred do co-op attacks with you
>mfw the train boss in ROTN
it makes me laugh every time
EVERY TIME
How the hell do you counter that?
22 hours
Looks like you duck in the lower right corner.
I think you still need to touch the bag first, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Just get your drinks for greater MP regen and it will cease to be an issue.
Timespinner was also quite good.
>techniques 38.10%
I will correct you because I tested it
No touching required. Just keep playing the game as usual. It'll get put into your inventory as soon as you leave the screen, or if like 10 or so seconds pass. Of course, if it lands normally and CAN be picked up, it must be. You'll lose it if you don't
What the hell are these gold coins for and why do I only have them for some bosses and not others?
>tfw you finally get Rank 9 - Grade 9 version of Summon Chair
>the squeals of the clams
big dick points basically, you get them for killing bosses without getting hit once.
It's for achievement whores, indicates you didn't get hit during the fight.
I just got invert, wheres a brother meant to go now? I'm too brainlet to recall spots that have opened up.
>he doesn't have enough MP regen to counter the drain cost
lmao
found them, nvm
Well shit, now I'm kinda embarrassed it took me so long to realize this was a thing.
You can literally see them on the top left there.
I just finished the tower with double doggo boss fight. I can't get through train station. Any ideas where should i go Yea Forums?
Where's the reverse castle?
Only in graphics department, maybe two-layered world was also kinda cool, but that's it. There was very little in term of usable and fun weapons, time-stopping gimmick was almost completely useless and the backtracking when you played for the first time was insane. Not to mention an utterly retarded plot which couldn't possibly be any more SJW than it already is.
These rooms? They have roofs in the way, can't get anywhere.
this also happened in the jp version of sotn didnt it
You need invert skill to access it
Technically attic
Take the chemicals from the reward chest back to the village and get yourself a photo, then take said photo to OD and you'll get a train pass.
>Photograph
>Library guy
I have the invert skill, theres a roof dog, no gap.
First Zangetsu battle already took me an hour, game's harder than DMCV to me.
>tfw 99.90% map completion
Meanwhile the other room has this going on.
Go back to the Twin Towers where you fought the two dragons, there is a chest you can reach with invert that gives you an item to nullify trap damage
yee haw
>voiced by literally the same guy as SotN
Holy shit, hard to believe. He actually doesn't sound as good without the "Konami bathroom" recording quality.
Get the golden chest, go to tittie nun, then to your man OD
Thanks Yea Forums.
One little advice: when ou reach the boss door in the train keep walking or you can get blocked out of the boss arena and you have to repeat everything.
Happen to me the first time, it was a shit move since I got so many bunn and dagger shards

SWITCHFAGS RISE UP
This is the GOG 1.04 version of the game. Also once you exceed your free download limit you can just turn off you PC, come back in about five hours and continue downloading right where you left off, it's piss easy to do.
Thanks
I see that you live on the edge as well
>speed belt
>Tailwind book
I thought they fucked up the rendering for the moon in this scene when I first walked past but it makes sense now
Can you get something like Death Ring from OoE?
I'm pretty sure that's Curry the Kid's portrait
So can you not loot chests underwater?
You can later once you get a specific ability
Only once you're actually able to walk underwater.
>later in the game you still come across random completely unnecessary holes that require you to use the fucking teleport ray just for one chest with a shitty item in it
it's bad game design to justify the existence of that shitty ability
they could have at least made elaborate puzzle-like rooms using it or something, the fucking novelty wears off real fast after you get it initially
the worst part is that you have to keep updating an alt shortcut set with that ability or just switch the shard in and it's nothing but an annoyance
>the worst part is that you have to keep updating an alt shortcut set with that ability or just switch Stuff like this would be better if an unspecified shortcut wouldn't unequip your weapon. Everything else simply defaults to what you have equipped, except weapons. They have to be explicitly specified in the shortcut.
>Tele skill
>Use two times only
Really what the ass
when I first felt like I had to start using shortcuts I did just that to check if I could use them to only switch things in specific slots but nope, Iga just had to fuck it up
>They all flow directly into her womb
Cursed Ring as seen here but it's nowhere as busted as they were in OoE or SotN.
Does anyone have a torrent for the updated version? Or a patch? i want to buy it but im silly poor for at least 2 more months.
this old lady eats so much, how far am i from finishing her quests, she wants me to make ramen
So can you start newgame+ on hard mode?
and is newgame+ harder than newgame?
I want to continue with my current build but the game is far too much of a cakewalk
go look at the quests list in the Archive, you should be able to deduce how many are left.
I still can't change the resolution bros...
Which platform to get it on? Steam?
Also should I play with a controller?
Steam or GOG, yes.
I have a suggestion for a challenge run
No shards, weapons only except for when you absolutely need a shard to progress, like Aqua Stream for swimming As an extra bit of challenge, you aren't allowed to use guns or that crissigram sword (and the yellow version of it either)
>95% map completions
>Have grinded a few shards too
>lvl43
>Still haven't ninja that makes you go fast
What the fuck, where is he located? Is his location random?
what does it do
GoG, because it's DRM-free. Support DRM-free games, user.
I mean I know you're going to take it as a joke, but I'm actually serious.
And yes.
Gotta go SLOW
Bottom-left part of Dens of Behemoths.
I wonder if it's possible to beat that ninja without abusing that one spear with the running charge move that allows you to move really fast while constantly draining your mana, because that's how I beat him and it was close.
What's the best place to farm money?
>tfw too horrible to beat Zangetsu
Fuck this diffuclty spike, for me for not being gud
Are there cheevos on GoG yet ? if not hard pass
The laser teleport shard wrecks his ass.
I have a 10 year old toaster and the game plays perfectly with everything but shadows on epic. This game was well optimized. I'm having a blast so far. Cool games, nice variety of weapons and enemies. Costumes, sidequests. It's at least as good as Order of Ecclesia
Where did you get a 2nd one of those badboys?
Read thread
I just used the katana dash attack three or four times, and walked normally with speed belt. He slows down a lot while jumping.
Is the DLC weapon you get overpowered? I wanna get the dlc but dont wanna ruin a playthrough with a broken weapon.
If you use GoG Galaxy, then I think so (it's on the store page). I don't use it though, so I can't help you here.
>Boss rush mode
Might as well be mega man no thanks.
Why is this game so ugly and boring? Every area looks the same and combat also sucks. Where are the combos and shit?
I feel like I'm playing some shitty snes game with ps2 graphics. What went wrong?
I got my second from the "Memory of" questline
cant remember where i found the first one
yes. If you don't want a broken weapon don't get this dlc. The game is already too easy.
Is the Valkyrie Outfit the only alt costume for Miriam? Not counting the transformations.
could somebody show me exactly where you would fight Iga if you had the dlc? I know one place in the game where you can get out of bounds, if I could possibly glitch into Iga's boss room, I would do it and save my $10.
You can pick one up early with a really early 8-bit coin but you cant really upgrade it until you buy your first 16-bit coin and then 36 bit coin.
It's a pretty steady progression and they'll get out dated pretty quickly.
Alright user getting it in GoG.
Yuh there are
this game is crack cocaine fun
Techniques should give more exp desu, they are a pain to grind
You keep everything except for the hard progress stuff like all the movement ability shards, zengetsu ,aegis plate and all your bovine plumes so you cant get high jump before reaching the oriental lab
aaaaaaAAAAAAA
>started on normal since I haven't played a Castlevania game since one first one that released on GBA
>every boss after Zangetsu has been a cakewalk, fuckers die within a minute or two
I feel like I made a huge mistake. Fuck.
Pick up the book from OD, Makes it much easier.
Where is this at.
Alright nevermind not getting it on GoG cause it is declining my card information.
Everything is overpowered in this game, it's not difficult at all in the first place.
Aren't you forced to play on normal on your first playthrough?
I'm pretty sure I saw the other difficulty options at the beginning, or were they just there to tease me?
you can unlock difficulties with NIGHTMARE as name
they're locked. you have to beat the game first to unlock them.
If you enter Nightmare as your filename you can start on any difficulty
relax. Nightmare is Level 1 hardmode. It's designed/balanced around you having every piece of equipment, and needing to use most of it deliberately for specific room/encounters.
Just take it easy and enjoy what it is. There's a mode specifically there to test competency (execution) as much as understanding of the tools available.
The combat revolves around building atack speed items and using early game broken shit like True Arrow/8bit weapons, it's really easy to break
cool. I didn't know that.
Where do you get the invert ability?
Fire area boss
Got 100% map completion but still don't have all the shortcuts unlocked?
>It's designed/balanced around you having every piece of equipment
Not really. Endgame equipment makes nightmare mode piss easy even at level 1. Sure you can't get hit but you dish out so much damage it doesn't matter.
I actually think the graphics itself look fine. My problem is with the art direction, for a supposedly gothic game, a lot of enemies look "chunky" and cartoonish, and the weapon have mmotier design to them.
Because of that the atmosphere is non-existent, as the game also has no consistent color palette.
Also, did it bother anyone else that physically the map made no fucking sense? I really liked in the previous castlevanias that if you put the maps together, they kinda made sense a single thing. Even OoE made somewhat sense.
Can't wait for zangetsu mode.
it's an extremely safe weapon and useful until about after Bloodless. By that point you should probably have a decent shard to do more damage until you can upgrade the Flying Edge and notCrissaegrim into their superior versions.
People always freak out about Bloodless healing but it's like they've never heard of a phase change before.
Are Katana's good? I might just go full katana on my nightmare playthrough.
I only ever used Shortcuts for one fight. I went the whole game never ever using them, but it felt appropriate for just one fight where I absolutely HAD to swap shards on-the-fly
The fight against O.D., he does a distinctive pose towards the screen with his cape flared up when he's about to do Za Warudo and that was my cue to dash into a corner and swap to my Shortcut with Directed Shield to block his hail of icicles.
>notCrissaegrim
Speaking of which, I want to make Miriam into notAlucard with notAlucard gear. What's the notAlucard sword in this game?
Once you get one with the screen wide slash, Master that ability as fast as you can because its crazy overpowered
Graphics are ok but the game had no clear theme, there was no art direction other than the "stained glass" theme, like what the fuck is the deal with the sky in the cathedral and why the fuck is there an eastern themed "laboratory" at the top of a castle
One of the few weapon types with an actually useful technique.
I got something from the 8-bit boss fight but I am not even sure what it was.
8-bit book
its needed for the final upgrade of the 8bit weapons
Sounds good to me.
Is the final boss a joke? I just stood on the corner summoning lightning.
Help.
if you get into a good rhythm. I'm pretty sure that if you chain spam Crescent Slash, you'll always be protected by i-frames, I tried it against the Carpenter boss and dodged several of his daggers that way, but it's super tough to stay in the rhythm, because if you slack off for a fraction of a second you're vulnerable and get fucked by his knives or colliding with his character model.
just a guess, did you get the chest above the grand stairway before the Gebel boss room?
still missing one of its drops
fucking scythe mites and fuck Iga JUST PLACE ONE NEXT TO A DOOR AAAAAAAAAAAAA
>grab heel boots
>go fight zangetsu
>spam its skill (down down attack) with proper timing
>infinite iframes
>free boss medal
>probably works on the 2nd fight as well
WEW LAD. Only have to be careful when he decides to jump as you'll end up behind him. Also fuck giant hand and it's shitty AI which also read inputs.
the techniques are useful. I don't care much for the Rekka but the deflect (stops time and does a screenwide slash) and the forward-back-forward dlash are really useful.
Stairway up to Gebel, Top left corner of the screen is a green chest
>Also, did it bother anyone else that physically the map made no fucking sense?
Not when there's a huge endless marble hall inside a ship.
Thanks, I gave up on a a lot of those rooms because I accidentally sequence'd broke the game with dive kick so I was stuck in that area for a while and thought I had found everything there.
The hell are you talking about
why my pp hard
daggers > arrows btw
Is Cinematic or Epic, better graphics in the options?
new thread where
Cinematic is better. I think. It comes after Epic so that's all I can guess.
Whoever designed these menus is a fucking gigantic retard.
You were the reverse castle all along.
...
Now that's just embarrassing... didn't even realize.
I hope next Bloodstained has better art and map direction. Iga knows how to make fun game, but he needs some talented artists.
