i kept waiting to get a better ability and never did, was kinda disappointed

Guess I better fucking buy those 8 bit coins. Dammit, I was saving up for the Discount Card, I there aren't any solid ways for me to money farm yet.

welp, was going to level bloodbringer since it looks rad, but thanks for saving me the trouble

I have died at least 10 times to the first boss. What the fuck is wrong with me? Am I retarded? Am I missing something here? There's so much shit going on at once. How the fuck am I supposed to duck behind the adds and dodge their water at the same time?

Attached: 1561180017658.png (1563x1944, 3.41M)

Don't worry about getting the discount card until post game when you can start farming like a maniac. Even then, it almost feels pointless getting it at that point for anything other than completion.

Yeah, there are. Get your Augment Gold shard from the shop, max it out, and suddenly get everything you'll ever need from blowing up mana torches.

I'm gonna use him anyway because Bloodbringer is a bro

As soon as she throws the adds out, even before they rise up out of the ground, go attack them. They'll take damage and die before fully spawning.

And use your damn shard magic. If you got the Dullahammer's Head Flail shard or Aello's Gale Crawler shard, it makes the fight much easier.

bloodbringer is cringy with his "DIE!" yell he makes all the time, i just go with the fairy or the dullahead, they actually do stuff

How do you change resolution in the game? I just get a blank box for it in the grahics menu.
Anyone here playing on PC?

Don't waste your time on the fucking fairy or the sword. The book and the knight are the best familiars.

First two bosses are the hardest. After that, you're over the hump

after the blood girl the game gets gradually more sloppy as you go on, even the zangetsu stage being there didn't make any sense considering he wasn't ever part of the alchemists

Bloodbringer's voice is fucking awesome and has tons of SOUL, it reminds me of the Sword familiar from SOTN who said similar silly sounding things in battle like "SLICE!".

I just brute forced it and chugged potions. I can't even remember what attacks it had. Nightmare mode is probably gonna force me to learn the pattern though.

How do i kill the blood bitch? Any tips?

But the adds are all that protect me from her water laser.

She should die in one or two add waves, long before she lasers. She only has 600 HP on Normal, which is like 10 hits from one of your shard spells?

Inferno Breath makes short work of every boss/enemy in the game, so do that if you're struggling.

RNG, timed blue chests. Another wise design decision in this game.

Blue Chests respawn when you leave the zone/teleport away and come back.

Augment gold doesn't affect torches, just the luck stats and having full MP so you don't waste them on mp roses

I mean, Bloodbringer is stronger if the enemy resists Ice.

I always spec for luck. Am I doing it wrong? I like having a lot of luck so I get a lot of drops, that's why I'm wearing that crappy stone mask and a plundering's ring

Yeah, it's total bullshit. Hope you saved those health pots. Apart from that you could try using a weaker weapon so you can semi-safely stunlock the mobs while you're hiding behind them. Other than that, pray like hell.

I think that user is playing on Hard. It adds a second water-laser attack that literally hits the entire arena (even air) and is literally undodgeable, and you have to use the mobs she summons as protection from it. Which is doubly fucked since the mobs obviously attack you as well while you're crouching right next to them.

Augment Gold gives all gold drops, no matter what drops them, a high chance of being larger drops. At Grade 9, torches frequently drop 100 and 500 gold coins.

I just started my Hard playthrough yesterday, with a brand new file, and killed the first boss before she could do the laser with the strategy I listed. She took maybe 10 seconds?

If you are dying; yes, it's time to equip better defensive gear.
If you aren't dying: no, enjoy the crits and better farm.

Sorc lab on blue chest. I want to know what monster drops torn pages

The floating books in Ex Liber drop Torn Pages and book familiar shards. Win-win-win.

Fuck the old lady that want food.

Thanks. Im farming the book for my gun loadout
Its expensive but the payoff is huge

Gremory is litteraly just Death.

Not complaining, Death fights are always awesome.

Remember, you can snag one drop and then go Craft something that uses that drop. Then go buy a bunch from the shop and Dismantle them to get the mats back.

It costs gold, but it is a much, much faster way of acquiring lots of mats.

>Remember, you can snag one drop and then go Craft something that uses that drop. Then go buy a bunch from the shop and Dismantle them to get the mats back.

Tell me I can do this with the food because I farmed so much for flying meat and other rare shit even with luck at 111+ took forever

Is there a ring that increases shard drop chances? How do I get it?

You get it from completing all of Abigail's quests

You know the quests to get shit from burying the dead? Finish all of those, it's worth it.

Got to last boss without flame circlet.
You HAVE to buy other circlet to open flame one. Who would thought.
Hours and hours of shard grinding could be skiped

Kinda feels like Aria + Dawn of Sorrow in that regard. I wasn't a fan of the final sprint in those games.

I only have mine at like 7 and I frequently get 2k gold drops from torches. Enhance gold makes you filthy fucking rich so fast

Ok I can't be the only retard that didn't realize that Craftwork could move Iron Maidens right? I've been traveling the castle for like two hours looking for a boss fight that gave me Mist form or something.

Did they fix the bug with not respawning wasps in the dragon towers?

Yeah I was like “craftwork is for getting past the pillar blocks, they wouldn’t make one upgrade get you past two different obstacles so obviously I’ll get something different later”

Bloodbringer is fun, but it's just window dressing. If you want a familiar that does something, go with dullaheads or dantalion.

Im retarded too, I thought you can use the speed demon power only with mirrors.

They really should have given the Iron Maiden's a similar glow to the pillar

Dullaheads are pretty great too and Buer is a lot of fun if you know how to use him.

What is it with people? It sounds like you create your own obstacles

They did, user. It has the same white glow.

Flying Edge for life or until I can craft the next level of Flying Edge sword.

It was kinda weird that you need to have obtained certain items before the recipe shows up. Would've been better to just show all available ones once you collect the recipe book that unlocks them.

I never figured out the proper way to get past the spikes so I just stocked up on potions and damaged boosted through them.

sooo are there a whole bunch of hair styles then? me likey

I haven't tried comparing it to boot weapons but kicks can be pretty useful. Both them and the transformation also make your slides and pogoing off enemies deal actual damage. If you get the food items that upgrade your MP regen you can keep it on permanently.

why do I love the deathbringer so much? every other weapon sucks in comparison. this thing attacks anything above me,it's strong, it's the best. even though it's slow, it's so good.

Based and potionpilled

I like it because it's strong but not crazy overpowered so boss fights aren't over in a matter of seconds.

If you Upgrade it enough you just destroy most bosses.

Ice caves at the end of the game.

Throwing axemen near the end of the game have a 2% drop, but a blue chest also provides a chance of getting one or some cashmere.

It's pretty obtuse. I only figured it out because nearly everything in the game in general is one big SotN homage so I instantly realized they recycled the same idea here as well.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be using whips for the entire game?

Just use what weapons you find fun, user. I went through most of the game using spears because I really like the longer range.

I genuinely liked the giant level. It was a neat gimmick. It helped that the music in that area was amazing.
Agree on that fucking ice cave, though. I was actually shocked when the game just ended there because it didn't feel like a final level at all.

What is so good about the bandit sword everybody talks about it?

it can do *teleports behind you* attacks

so can daggers, and those have a ranged tech as well.

I need gold and bixbite to create the tiara so I can get Solomon's Ring. Where do I find these two?

Didn't have problem with that one because they look kinda similar. Though I am still stupid because I didn't figure out right away that you have to drain the blood fountain.

Personally I find it hilarious when he yeets himself off screen.

And he actually dealt the final blow against the twin dragons.

>switch version is terrible
Dropped

Flame elementals can drop bixbite and imo the best way to get gold is to disassemble something that has gold in it, disassemble the gold, reassemble the gold, and then buy gold from the shop.

You have to craft gold or disassemble and bixbite can be farmed from the Fire elementals in the inferno zone

Is it the silver tiara? If it is, farm the rocker girl, she drop it I think.

Gold is a bitch to make. Farm Alkahest from Poltergeist (try going right of the tower warp, a room has three of them), then farm Fire armor or something with gold in the recipe and break it down.

You can also occasionally get gold from the blue chests in the desert.

I finally did it
I got Solomon's Ring
Thanks, Anons

You can occasionally find gold in silver chests in the hidden desert. I think it's faster than crafting it.

wherest the fuck is the flame tiara

I only just realized that force blast gives you a free stun. Actually pretty based

Buying a circlet from the shop unlocks the recipe.

Buy a tiara and slap some flames on it
Craft it

Can’t you just slap some rubies onto a regular tiara

Did you check at the bottom of the craft menu? You just didn't have the materials to craft it.

It's themed after the deepest level of Dante's hell.

The elemental circlets don't show up until you obtain the circlet for the first time, so they're pretty easy to miss of you never make/buy it

Is there some kind of moon jump or triple jump? I got the double jump and still can't get the chests in the Galleon Minerva.

You can craft high jump, or wait until you get invert. IIRC you can only craft high jump after getting invert though

One of them is hidden in a breakable wall in the caves. You find that one yet?

This game was pretty good, better than expected, but I think no Metroidvania will leave me with the same impact as SoTN did when they revealed the inverted castle.

When do I get the option to change the color of my outfit and customize shit?

I just did that with reflector ray

In the cathedral

after the second bossfight you will be able to reach where the npc is

how do i make the flame circlet?

>Trap a Zagan so it can continually summon Light Elementals
>Grade 8 Light Resist before getting second item
Well, that was a slog.

Make something with black pepper once, then just buy more of that shit and dismantle it

buy circlet, stick a ruby on it

You have to buy a normal circlet for the recipe to show up. This is the case with several other recipes where a piece of gear is consumed as well, like to get the Hermes Shoes recipe to show up you have to craft the Dragon Shoes first.

Oh thanks didn't even notice i never bought it

Wheres the mod to disable the stupid hats and accessories from displaying?

Zagan summons enemies? Come to think of it, I usually never actually saw it attack before I killed it.

Ice caves are themed after the deepest circle of hell, and I like it, but the overall level design was too simple, felt like Aria and Dawn on that regard.

Also, the final boss was meh but the fight against Dominique right before it was actually great. Going at it with similar spells and using a katana with all techniques felt like I was doing this game's version of a Vergil figth. Also her boss theme being a remix of her shop theme was a neat thing I didn't notice the first time around

>Dominique
Is this even really a spoiler? I've got to be honest, if you got 10 minutes into the game and didn't realise this was going to be a thing, you're absolutely braindead.

Why is millionaire's bane so easy anyway? It's a cakewalk compared to other extra bosses.

I'm getting both.

I know it's obvious, especially if you played AoS, but the game just came out and I'm not gonna be throwing spoilers around untagged.

Revenant was pretty easy as well. He just jumps around and rarely attacks

Yes, there's a not-crissaegrim in the game, you get a slower version through drops and the fast as fuck crissaegrim being craftable

Need help with 8bit weapons. Which ones are the best?

i absolutely shit all over hard mode my first run with the whip

Can't wait for the mockup codec conversation posts

teh 8 bit gun is the best gun in the game or tied for it depending on how you look at it, the whip does holy and dark damage and is exceptional as an endgame weapon because of it, the shoes that reveal Miriam's sexy legs are solid because they poison, as is the lotus lightsaber because anything that does lightning damage is fucking crazy dps wise. the others are alright and are completely good as endgame weapons, but those previously mentioned specifically are the best.

is there a mod to get rid of her gross crayola tattoos? literally my only complaint so far

>>But the adds are all that protect me from her water laser
Come on, user. Those are easily avoidable. When she pops in the middle of the screen to shoot them, run to one extreme of the screen and then slide quickly to the other end, if you can't get there fast enough you can just jump the last bit to evade it.

Don't patronize me Johannes, these recipes are a pain in the ass and the old lady demands her sustenance

i think he means the attack she uses on hardmode
she has a water beam attack that covers the entire arena and there is no safe space for it except using her mocks as cover

what i did was hitting them just enough so the next hit would kill them, take cover from the laser and finish them off as soon as they are no longer needed
if you can do it standing between the adds and the boss so that if they attack they will be locked in their animation looking the other way while you take cover

Once you rank it up a little bit you get machine gun kicks that don't drain stamina.
It's like the rapier infinite jab but it cost no mana and does crazy dmg each hit.
I do 86 each hit at lvl 30 and it hits so many times per second.
Not as good against small enemies.

Well Gebel did have a severe dose of the crystal treatment. I suppose the details are vague enough that the sequel could make up shit if he ever comes back.

rank 9 gold shard + equipped gold shard, spike armor and run into candles

All of IGA games have awful final stretches, it's basically his trademark.
SotN has the shitty inverted castle.
HoD has the shitty alt-castle.
AoS has the shitty teleport maze gardens and chaos domain.
DoS has the shitty abyss/hell.
PoR has the shitty inverted/mirrored portraits.
OoE has actually neat final area with the actual castle, but unfortunately the castle is the smallest in series history since it's just a final location so that's a downside.

All in all I found Bloodstained to be par on course for IGA and was neither surprised nor disappointed, just "yep, I knew this would happen".

If you're playing on Nightmare (probably on Hard too), that first boss is stupid difficult and annoyingly random. For the mooks, my suggestion is that if you think you don't have enough time, equip the Safety Ring so you can stunlock them without worrying about accidentally killing them. The safest time to attack her is her sweeping water laser when she's in the middle of the stage, so cancel your attacks with shard casts to get the fight over more quickly.

If the game ever gets a sequel, I hope we get more martial artist church people.

Thanks user. You only lose quest progress and progression related shards right, everything else carries over?

>100 and 500 gold coins
this is true, however
you can get up to 2k if you rank it up all the way and double stack it

Yeah, you get to keep the accelerator shard though which is nice.

What do you mean by double stack it?

Good lord Miriam is THICC. It just needs the crystals and it'll be perfect.

Passive shards at rank 9 become permanent skill shards but you still keep the yellow ones, equipping both makes the buffs stack.

Collect it and Benjamin later. You'll know what to do when you get what you need.

If you rank up any yellow shard to rank 9, it becomes a permanent white shard.
So you basically get twice the effect of Augment gold or any passive

How do I get through the subway after the dragon fight

you can do a jump just as you exit reflector ray

Is it just me or are her thighs thicker in the valkyrie armor

Talk to OD in the library, he'll offer to make you a train pass. Take the Silver Bromide you get after the dragon fight to the shop and take Miriam's picture, go back to OD and he'll finish the pass. Then you can board the train.

Sitting in one of the chairs in Celeste's room makes a ghost appear in the other. Does nothing.

Sitting on a certain chair on the train causes a unique enemy to jumpscare you and attack.

There are two or three Mimic Chairs that throw you into hazards if you sit on them. Their Shard lets you summon chairs at will.

Plus the one chair mimic lets you get back on top of the waterfall before you learn high jump or invert.

Skip first OD, go make photo, go to OD with photo, you will get quirky dialogue

what

I get 2k bags at rank 7. Not super frequently, but not super rare either

Behind the waterfall there's a mimic chair that jumps back to the top.

I never let that one get far. Didn't know it did that.

Are the only prizes for beating boss rush the 8/16/32 bit coins?

Thought it was a special helpful chair because it was my first encounter with it. Only after being thrown into buzzsaws in the library did I realize it was a mimic.

Yeah. Kinda sucks.

That's disapointing, the special secret items you got in the GBA/DS games for beating boss rush were great. Give me my rocket launcher.

Atleast is easy ways to upgrade them, A good build burns through both challenges within 2 minutes.

Oh dam ok, thanks bros

Absolutely.

Highest damage Sword, +chance for enemies to drop items when you hit them, +teleport hacks with an easy tech that also has a chance to steal items.

isn't it second highest damaging sword behind blue rose/eu's sword?
didnt know about the drop item on hit though, that's pretty good

Does luck affect shard drop rates? From what I remember in the Souls games it was only the Soul Eater Ring that increased your chanches, here I'm getting tons of soul shards just from the luck stat boost of two Plunder Rings.

What's with end game sword that made from 3 swords and have 20 dmg? There is some secret behind it? (the one with dragon heart)

it's a reference to a final fantasy sword, it does up to 3 hits per swing

>"God normal difficulty is so fucking easy, just play on hard mode"
What fucking games are you guys playing normally. I swear Yea Forums has no idea what "easy" actually is any more.
sotn was easy. Kirby games are easy. Zelda games are easy.
I've died like 10 times to true Zangetsu now because the mother fucker is so fucking hard to predict. All of the human bosses in this game are complete bitches, and all the demon bosses are complete fucking pushovers.

All the humanoid bosses are easy to cheese by just getting behind them. The Jinrai tech also trivializes everything.

Use your shards, you can cheese Zangetsu with most of them.

what. I died some times to first Zangetsu because of glitch, where he suddenly turn 180 midair after chain or jump attack, but true one was piss easy.
I got true arrow tier 9 because I was grinding rags for graveyard lady and tier 1 welcoming company, which destroyed him

I beat the blood bitch in about 10 seconds because she didn’t know what to do when I ducked just in front of her so she kept attacking over my head while I slapped her in the shins until she died. She only managed to get her heal off once and it only healed 100hp

OUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHH

In the Sorrow games Luck's effect on drop rates was actually broken. It did nothing.
Soul Eater Ring and Bloodstained's equivalent Solomon's Ring multiply Luck's effect on drop rates but Luck actually works now.

As others said, it's easy to completely cheese bosses, even humanoid ones. It isn't completely as easy as SotN but you can quickly become overpowered.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

Because alkahest just falls out of the sky, right?

DPS

Yeah, I just did. Spamming flying daggers is OP as fuck.

>Does the game has that same weapon SoTN had? The crissaigrem or whatever is called.
It's not called crissargrim but it's there and it's even stronger than the original wih the right tricks and buffs. End game item though.

Just get a lucky 7.

It kinda does, ghosts drop alkahest

Is it crucial to have analog sticks in this game?

I know there's directional stuff, maybe even some of it will be fun to use, but I wanted to use one of them better pads for 2D games with no sticks.

>"this game is easy because of cheese strats!"
Am I the only one trying to avoid cheesing?

Some directional spells are mandatory for progressing, others are quite potent as well.

It’s required for some things and is how you aim an entire subset of shard skills

There's a lot of dumb shit like that.

Ahhh fuck.

>jumping is literally cheese
wew

If you don't mind having to switch to mouse to use certain abilities for exploration and not being able to aim some attacks, you can easily play it without sticks. It's what I did.

When are we going to get Zangetsu bros?

>Jump over Zangetsu
>He immediately does an uppercut
jumping is for blood bitch, and keeping your distance is for the doppelganger, but zangetsu is a bitch.

Soon...

red ghosts in desert drop up to 2, and almost 50% with gold scull ring

>keeping your distance is for the doppelganger
I shredded through doppelganger with bunnymorphosis.

Both jumping and staying away from him worked.
The only tricky move to avoid is when is switch to ice and even then he still easy.

How do you even acquire a flame circlet? I reached the end of the game without even knowing that one.

I got the water pulse whatever shard from the first enemy. I also didn’t even see it, my dullaheads were below the screen and killed it immediately. I effectively walked into the room and then suddenly got an important shard. I was really confused

You make one by buying or acquiring a regular circlet, then combine it with a fire ring.

>use in game skill
>cheese
Are you one of this "fox only, zero destination" guys?

Many thanks

same way you got water jet - read walkthrought after 30 hours of grinding

Anons I don't want this game to end. I'm at the water part right now. How much is left? I feel like the map progression percentage is going really fast right now.

It's almost over, user.

Depends on how much retreading you want to do for map % or secret items you may have missed, and how quickly you might pick up on how to progress.

It's not ice, it's crystals.

You don't understand. You're supposed to do that quickly, then replay again in hard mode and take things more seriously (craft shit and do the extra stuff). If you mean you got the sinking shard and you can travel underwater without problems, you have a lab, a place with sand, weebshit and another area before the final place

are you fighting Shin Zangetsu in an honorable one on one katana duel?

Attached: Shin Zangetsu honorable.webm (640x360, 2.78M)

Those are only in NG+, same as shorcuts.

One guy claims it's bugged. He killed 100 demons with it and 100 without it, and he got 52 shards without it and 39 with it.

Fun only begun. I spend ~10 hours before final boss just to grind some stuff

Posted this in the other thread before mods went full retard. Here's a themed run I made for people who beat nightmare and want more or people who just want a challenge. Gonna go through it myself in a few.

Passive:
All allowed
Whip Expertise (Lamashtu 74) recommended

Familiar:
Not allowed

How do you get your hp down to exactly 1?

I did.
It should be the only way to do that fight, katana are so fucking fun to use.

Using jinrai isn't very honorable

>freeze time during the active frames

>Big flashy moonrunes, post-block slow-mo, CGI
Huh, I think I played a different game

Well I did use a Katana. Wanted to go no potions too but I wasn't used gud enough

>no Blood Steal in conjure

After the girlfriend mod and the nun mod.

*wasn't

You need up to 10 alkahest to dismantle, though. That's 7200 per item

>worked fine for the past few days
>suddenly get some sound scratching
what do, this shit makes it fucking unplayable

Are you retarded? The beam you're talking about has the hitbox only on the floor, you don't even need to run from it to jump over it.
The attack he's talking about is the thicc beam that she's firing when standing at the nose of the ship, there's no way to dodge it other that crouching near the small monsters that shield you from the beam.

Am I missing something about weapon upgrades here? I can craft new weapons and enhance shards, but I haven’t yet seen the option to upgrade my current weapon

You can farm 30 alka per 5 mins at desert tho

Oh yeah forgot about that progression part

..what beam attack?

Some higher powered weapons require lesser versions of that weapon in materials. But you also need to find the crafting recipes in the castle.

cringe

You can't upgrade the weapons, unless you count the 8-bit weapons but that's just crafting stronger versions of them. Where did you get the idea that you can upgrade them?

No shit. If it requires farming something, then it's no longer an infinite money exploit.

People in the threads keep mentioning upgrading their weapons, which I guess just means using an old weapon to craft a new one.

can you leave?

Items stuck in the wall only auto collect if you’ve physically touched them before waiting for despawn/leaving the room, so it’s the same as items that land on the floor.

Yeah, it's just that. Don't worry, you did not miss anything.

You get ~130k after each cycle

It's okay. The skin is different color in some locations though. Is that because I swapped to pale skin at the barber?

Beat him on normal and NG+ and never seen this attack

If the gains cover the alk cost, then that's fine

The game can’t be considered hard if it’s only hard for a retard who refuses to use shards or whatever dumb shit it is you are doing

Naw, fuck the devs. Normal is a total joke though.

>no jiggle
it's a shitty model edit and nothing more why would you expect animation that isn't there in the game already to suddenly be there with it?

>Normal is a total joke though.
So is Hard. It took the Dragon's Dogma approach to difficulty.

I agree. I'm unironically mad Hard isn't available from the start for everyone, I would totally play on hard. Normal stopped being any challenging after bloodless.

sorry, russian thing, (boss - him\his), (beat him) as (beat boss)

She's 28

She was in stasis, not asleep. She's physically and metally as old as she was when she entered stasis, about 20 years old, there was a definite age somewhere in the game but I don't remember it. Her dialogue reflects that as well.

How did Johannes keep himself from not banging Miriam while she was in her coma?

28 in the game, but 18 when she was put to sleep.

Dominique is more of a cake. How old is she?

Twin Dragon Towers, on the area that's circular. You need inversion or high jump.

It fits.

It really sucks. These kinds of grindy games are comfy on portable systems. Is switch really so shit?

Let's say I'm playing on an "non-legal copy", where do I find my savefiles to import it to a newer version of the game?

Don't worry about it. The first boss is probably the hardest fucking boss in the game. Even on my nightmare play-through I had more trouble with her than anything else.

that's to be expected from higher difficulties, since you have no leeway basically and have to go in dry

You're just not following the chair of replies far enough. I guess that's understantable

You can get it without those, since I don’t have high jump yet and only just got inversion and I made spaghetti ages ago. I think it was in one of those chests you could bounce off the torches to reach

You know, those backer portraits, they actually fit at that texture resolution and don't look nearly as out of place.

That's nice user, but I feel that for now going 4k AND 120+fps is too much. The beefiest rig wouldn't be able to hold it in more demanding games, and with RTX implementation it won't get faster, only slower. So for now It's either 4k@60 or 1440p@120+

Right on. You can consider this a PS1 aesthetic.

>got almost 10k gold just from coins without a single cannon soul drop

The only way is to actively do something else. Once you've forgotten about what you were originally farming, the sensor focuses on your new thing and drops will start again on the original thing.

Now Tayne I can get into.

I get it for Detective Eye since it's showing your collection distance with the ring. I'm any case, I think it should be an option but for people who don't want it, I agree.

I will say I've noticed that after crafting/preparing something with Johannes, my Detective Eye ring and Words of Wisdom glow disappear until I toggle them. Not sure if that's applicable to all of the shard visual effects.

>I get it for Detective Eye
It's funny how DE is the only shard where a visual effect is actually conveying meaningful information to you - the range, but how it's also one of the most hated ones since it's so intrusive. There's a mod on nexusmods to remove it.

Yeah, I thought the resolution and framerate drops were unfortunate but semi-understandable but I do not understand why the textures are so low quality. It's really bad.

Sorry you're dealing with that, user.

Some kind anons here helped me to point what rooms I was missing

Are these all of them or just the ones that have been found out until now?

I saw a couple anons already who missed the breakable wall in room with the black cat in the alchemy lab

Just find a map online and your own map, line them up in photoshop, and keep toggling the layer as they overlap. The missing rooms should "blink".

It's pure cope is all, you made a mistake and settled for 1440p&144hz thinking the only games you'd ever play are demanding games yet there are thousands of games you could play right now, like this one at 2160p&240hz

But it's okay, in ten years you'll probably join us enlighten few in the sun, until then you can either bask in our glory or you could be bitter and cope, like you're doing right now. Your choice user, I can't make it for you.

Other than Zangetsu who would be the third playable character. I hope its not Dominique, she is a dumb bitch
O.D. or Bloodless would be cooler

Or if you're not a brainlet, you could just look at them

Scanning over a large image for a missing blue block in a sea of blue blocks and then glancing back at your other sea of blue blocks is needlessly complicating things.

So what is the rank in shards? is that just the number of that type of shard you have or does it actually do something?

Attached: 1560824647317.jpg (1090x1028, 165K)

Rank is what's improved by using Enhance Shard at Johannes. It has the listed effect in the menu. Grade is improved by collecting duplicates of the same Shard and amplifies the base effect mentioned in the description of the shard (normally increasing damage or associated stat boosts.)

Upgrading the shard gives it more rank, getting more of the same shard increases grade. Those two do different things depending on the shard.

Do you just mash skip through all dialogues?

So, for True Arrow, Rank makes more arrows shoot while Grade makes each arrow do more damage.

Collecting more shards boosts the base effect, while upgrading it at Johannes will upgrade another aspect of the spell (ie Rigor Dohin for example will linger around for longer).

>Those two do different things depending on the shard.
Grade always raises the numerical values - damage, healing, etc

Don't worry bro, some people just have bigger dicks than you. It's nothing to be so insecure about.
