How do I get there?

Jesus Christ. Went there and immediately found the Aegis plate. Shoot me.

>hardcope
Why? Just enjoying the game on release date. I don't have to worry for money

Ring the bell in the room above so it falls and cracks the floor

After beating the game I feel like the only dumb progression part is where yoh get the gear to resist spikes and whatnot. Had to Google what to do after exploring the castle for hours trying to figure it out.

This reminds me. on the map I can see a chest floating out in the void below the first room in the game. I've scoured all the walls with detective eye and I can't figure out how to get to it.

The Aquastream shard is also dumb as hell even though I personally got it on like the second drop.

How does this game compare to SOTN and Hollow Knight?

How the fuck do you use blood steal exactly?
Do you use it during an enemy plays their death animation or can you use it on still living enemies? The description isnt very clear

Cooking shit is so tedious.
I'm either grinding one enemy that shows up on like 3 screens in the entire game or blowing tons of gold on disassembling shit, or scouring the blue treasure chests that drop one specific ingredient that's required for 20 different dishes.

You just use it, dawg.

Have you played SotN? It's like a combination of Dark Meta and Soul Steal. You have to make the enemy bleed in order to make it work, so boots, clubs, whips, ect won't do anything at all. Just make them bleed. After you strike them with any slashing attack, blood will accumulate on the floors, walls and whatnot. You don't need a specific timing. Just make the floor red and Blood Steal will scoop it all up.

Yeah, I got it on my first kill but you kinda gotta do janky crap to kill the mob the drops it. I can see how someone could miss it.

I personally don't have an issue with it. Multiple times you fight bosses before this point who use abilities that you steal when you absorb their shard. At this point, the player should already be aware that progression will be locked behind certain enemy abilities. And it's not like you can accidentally kill the squid without knowing what it does. It spawns below the surface, so you have to observe it using aqua jet. I don't know guys. I think people nowadays are just too used to handholding to figure stuff out on their own.

And don't say that people only expect boss shards to help with progression. Within 5 to 10 minutes of playing the game, a flame cannon has to be destroyed for its shard to progress through the ship.

My issue is the squid can be missed. You go through that area, you know you need something to dive into the water. If a squid doesn't come near you wouldn't even know

Does anyone know if new game+ fixes the treasure chest bug? The one that happens on some pre-patch saves.

Also, what is the best movement tech to reach places before you get the actual double jump/inverse.

Practically the same as SotN.

Boost your luck. I'm wearing the Valkyrie equipment and almost every enemy drops stuff.

Does valkyrie have a matching head item?

That would be my guess, I hope the second and third playable characters and multiplayer modes drop first.

Yes, the Valkyrie Tiara. I also use the Plunderer's Ring and the Bunny Scarf.

I somehow glitched this by invert dropkicking the obviously fake ceiling at the right angle and phasing through.
Couldn't exit out via the breakable wall at all. Thank god for the lever there.

Before double jump?
None really, boots allow a 3 part combo that goes through the air, like Ryu's tatsumaki so you could maybe get some things on the galleon like the pirate hat early.

Before inverse?
Double jump dive kick, it bounces off enemies, resets your jumps and it gives a bit more horizontal distance when done diagnally.
You can dive kick off your own buer familiar for vertical climbs.

There's one by the floor grinders, if you sit in it it will hop right into the blades lmao.

I know this is for the new one, but maybe people here can help me. I am playing curse of the moon right now and I accidentally walked past the third character cause I didn't realize you could just skip them like this.

Like, wtf, do I just not get to play as them this run? The game doesn't even ask if you are sure or something, I just straight up walked past him and straight to the next level it is.

You should have talked to him, bro.

Not worth it

The game's only like an hour long, and there's an achievement for beating it by taking a party member but leaving one or more behind. Comes with a separate ending (that sometimes glitches out and doesn't play, leaving a blackscreen).

DUDE

That's fucked up though, the game didn't even ask or anything

If they wanted to let you refuse characters they could just give you a dialogue option and make you choose instead of forcing you to have them if you talk to them and force you to miss them if you don't.

Alright, I just think they could have made you choose in a dialog option instead of forcing it on you on accident.

IIIIIEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOH

why the same character three times

>normal is too easy
>hard is ridiculously hard
Was it that much to make a difficulty that has hard enemy placement but normal damage?

>waaaaah game didn't hold my hand enough

Bro if you're worried about completing everything and finding everything you wouldn't have left him.

Do you even metroidvanias?

Spring, Fall, and Winter wear.
Gotta show off that pelvis

My point is that I didn't want to leave him, the game didn't even give me a choice, it just assumed I wanted to leave him cause I wanted to check if there was something behind him before talking to him.

Yes it's not such a big deal because the game is short and all, but it's still dumb as hell.

>play Curse of the Moon after enjoying Ritual of the Night
>go through first level without getting hit
>get to second level
>lots of Dullaheads that knock you back a million feet each time you get hit and are a pain in the ass to hit with this clunky Classicvania movement system
>bats and frogs that are super hard to hit
>no air control when you jump

And now I remember why Classicvania is complete shit and I would 100% all the Igavanias but would drop each Classicvania after 2-3 levels. It's hard literally only because of the clunky controls and the enemies designed to be more mobile than the player can handle.

Haven't played this myself, but don't you just get a screen with a dude and an exit each time you meet someone new? Why would it be any different the third time it happens?

Is gambler's ring just straight up better than plunderer's?

I talked to the other people first thing as soon as I beat the boss, then when I got to him I thought maybe there was some treasure or something hidden behind him. Developers usually do this, put something behind the obvious thing you have to do to "hide" it. So I went there and my character just walked away to the next level without asking me anything. It's not marked as an exit at all.

Again, it's not that big of a deal, I just think they should put some kind of dialog box like "Are you sure you want to leave guy behind? Y/N"

Are there more than three kinds of seeds for the farm? I can’t figure out what the point of that mechanic if it only gets you corn/potatos/rice. Why can’t you grow tomatoes and other stuff?

No idea. At least there are easy farm spots for that shit.

Plunderer's gives an unspecified "increased item drops" effect that probably beats out +2 luck for item drops, but not for souls and money.

>Description for potatoes says they grow better with salt
>Can't use Halite with a Potato Seed for bigger croploads

Would Miriam survive Night of Revenge unraped?

Attached: 1560816370691.jpg (572x841, 115K)

No. There are no shards for her to absorb, so she'd be stuck with the starter sword, the starter shoes, and then whatever she finds. So she would have one health potion assuming she can beat the first boss, and there's no way in hell she's going to see that tripwire.

Probably scrapped after only 3 items were made, but they decided to still use them instead of letting us fucking purchase rice directly.

Isnt it specifically on edgelady's hit list?

>bathes thrice daily
Wonder why

Play on Casual rather than Veteran. It doesn't affect any achievements or anything and is a lot less stressful than Veteran.

Cause she smells like death.

Yes but that's a sidequest and you can't really effectively fight/grind them from the water's surface so you'd normally decide to come back when you can fight them underwater.

I am all aboard the hype train with Bloodstained and I think the common sticking points are all pretty straight forward and explained well enough by the game but this is the one decision I think they really goofed on. They should have made at least the first shard a 100% drop and should add dialog with Dominique or something that directs you to kill an enemy to move forward since she's normally where you get story related hints.

What's with these frame drops on the gambling boss? Is it because I'm using 5 Dullahans?

You just suck user.
Curse of the Moon is a very easy game.
Especially compared to Castlevanias with stages.

I think it's common on all platforms. Not sure if it's on PC, I'm not there yet.

I would have just made the first one be found in one of those holders, like with Shortcuts and Silver Knights.

>They should have made at least the first shard a 100% drop
It honestly makes no damn sense why they didn't do this and place one in an unavoidable position like with the cannon in Galleon.

I killed the rocker chicks for smoothies. I dismantled two smoothies to get the apples to make apple juice. I'm at 4mp per second now, wondering if theres more boosts

Hard is only hard through the first boss and debatably up to the second boss, becomes just as easy as normal after that.

Just beat the game for the first time.
Baal was meh, every thing else was cool.

They've said you should be safe starting a new game plus run. So if you've finished, do the update then start NG+ and you shouldn't run itno the chest bug.

Someone spoil the three endings for me please.

Good idea, yeah. Hopefully they address it at some point.

1.You kill Gabel and fuck-off, leaving the castle and the demons to the church.
2.You kill Gabel and get possesed by the same demon that possessed him.
3.You kill the Big Bad and send back the castle and the demons inside. Miriam says that she still needs to pick off the remaining demons who got outside.Johannes says that he can prevent the crystal from consuming Miriam, thanks to Albert. The End.

now play nightmare
and do the same thing because it will still work

Wonder how the end game would’ve been if they went all in on the Den of Behemoths gimmick and you go through the entire castle again blown up.

Kek, no new moves at all from the bosses?

>2.You kill Gabel and get possesed by the same demon that possessed him.
How do you get that one?

Get more juicy, aka acquire more shards.

Actually yeah they all have new moves and you won't be able to tank damage on some, but shards are still OP as hell and invert strats still work

Get the sword from Zangetsu and still kill Gabel normally.

There's no way to make the main character's costume different or her proportions different...

Help. I'm stuck not even an hour in.

I got some coin item so I went check it and turns out I can make sweet weapons with it. I've been save scumming and trying out all different weapons and can't settle on one. Even when I think I have, I just eventually reset while making progress and go with another one. I second guessed myself on the shield weapon with the eu sword with the deathbringer and now it's been at least 4 hours of changing and resetting. Help me. Which one should I stick with?

Where is the Yellow Kernel thing for grandma

You can just dismantle the weapon and get the coin back. Though it might just be faster to reset now that I think on it.

All coin weapons suck until you fully upgrade them, and even then the only good ones are the boots and the gun. Forget about them and keep playing.

You can buy more later, just pick your favorite

Reset is much much faster.

It's a bloody crime, it is.

Ok but what about manipulative
Does Healing get good?

Honestly I don't mess with any of those except Accelerator which I maxed out.

Well I want to progress with a good weapon that feels fun to use and is efficient enough until I get to the point when I can buy more and just can't choose. I even made it up to zangetsu using the silent calamity but then i started thinking what if i had the encrypted orchid instead and reset again.

Man, this may be just me but the Alfred fight is pretty fucked up, at least on Hard mode. I can barely even see where he is or what he's doing or which parts of the floor are safe with all those spheres in the way.

Everything except story progression shards and mats to make them carries over, you can see the outline of your previously explored map under your present map.

I realized that after I craft an item once it starts being sold on the shop, does that carry over to NG+ or will I need to craft everything again?

The game is pretty fucking sloppy when you push the mechanics to their limits. I've been watching Nightmare players and they complain about invisible hitboxes and patterns that are nearly impossible to dodge without shards like Welcome Company or Directional Shield.

Downloaded Curse of the Moon from the eShop because it sounded like what I've been looking for and it's busting my balls, bros. Guess I'll have to get gud.

I bought the switch version, is there any point in even playing before all the patches go through? Serious buyers regret here... It didn't even need to get graphically downgraded, so why did it?

Do you have Zangetsu's sword? Then go to Gebel and watch the moon closely as you injure him.

Bruh finally. Shame about the lack of crystals though

thanks user

Because the Switch is a piece of shit for anything that isn't made by Nintendo themselves?

Because the switch sucks dick at unreal engine. Yoshi's Crafted World is in 360-480p at points to keep the framerate a smooth 60. Wayforward are in charge of fixing the switch version and they are particularly skilled with unreal, so we'll see how they do at fixing it. It's playable as is, but not a very enjoyable experience. I've been slouging through it on breaks at work since I can't bring my PC with me lol.

I can agree with invisible hitboxes if true but attacks that require specific shards to avoid is not bad design.

They give you those tools and eight shortcut slots so you can have defensive builds and shit for this reason.

So if I'm playing 1.0 on PS4, is my save fucked when I update it?

Finish the game, patch it, and then start a new game plus and you'll be solid with that save.

From that perspective, I guess you can say it's fair, but at the same time it means that you still need gear (or, more specifically, shards) to get through the game without taking any damage.

I prefer action games to be designed in such a way that you don't need to rely on specific gear/items/etc to get through the entire game without a single hit of damage. You should be able to rely purely on player fundamentals (spacing, timing, knowledge, execution, etc).

What Bloodstained did was not bad I guess, but it also means that you can't get through the game on Nightmare without taking any damage with just kicks or a simple "one weapon only and no shards or equipment" run. You still need shards.

I mean, that's not really how these games are meant to be played. I'd go so far as to argue that these aren't action games but that aside, being upset that a game expects you to use the tools provided to finish it flawlessly I don't think is a misstep, personally.

I get what you're saying but the devs not having a very specific type of run in mind when designing enemies isn't really a negative in my opinion.

Here's a hot take. They shouldn't have included Rhava Velar (a not-Crissaegrim). Once you get it, it's literally everything you'll ever use, all the other legendary weapons like Blue Rose, Eternal Blue or Andromeda are literally pointless, it just breaks the game.

Also, the fuck's up with the 32-bit coin gun being by far the strongest? What's the point of going for the trouble of crafting other guns, when you can just buy coins from the shop and get by far the strongest firearm?

Attached: 15234595028090.jpg (716x960, 208K)

Bloodstained isn't a pure action game though. I prefer a game with gear/powers as a core mechanic require me to use them in order to excel at the game.

>by far the strongest
doesn't it have the same damage as the final craftable gun?

The Rheva starts as the Vorpal Blade and can't be upgraded until very late game. Same with that gun, normally getting access to that much gold is a massive chore until post-game.

Post-game stuff breaking the game is fine. That's part of the point of these games. You also get Infinite MP glasses and an Infinite Ammo hat.

Needs some pubes popping out.

So since this game has been out for awhile now:

What castlevania does it play closest to? SoTN? Aria? I'm getting a lot of HoD vibes from what i've seen so far.

I usually only play fighting games, and FighterZ plays like a dream on it. It's a game not made by nintendo, and its unreal engine, and on top of that it looks a hell of a lot better than bloodstained, so i really don't see the point in the ultra ass downgrade. The switch port looks bad for a wii game, not to mention a switch which has better hardware.

Renee's Requiem is like 32 ATK while the final craftable gun is only 26 or so. Makes a few hundred points of difference in your final attack calculation.

Miriam looks like Shanoa.
Movement is taken from Symphony
Shards taken from Aria.

Bloodstained: Symphony of the Aria of Ecclesia.

I'm talking late game, what's the point of crafting Blue Rose or Eternal Blue when you can just craft Rhava Velar? They all become available at roughly the same time.

Mate, there is much stronger stuff you can get. Even as a melee option its just high tier, no where close to the best.

Behold, the man with shit taste

That's true, but I think during the course of the game you can still keep up with the Rheva's damage with stronger weapons per hit if you're using canceling.

Actually fell for this one just today. Iga is one sadistic bastard, all those chairs you can sit in leading up to that.

Or just start stacking attack speed via the proficiency shards and double optimizer

Like what? I' have 100% weapons and it just outclasses everything by a mile.

What's the method to farm gold material? Blue chests in the desert?

Start fucking around with crits and attack speed. Shards also are stronger by a country mile.

Does anyone know if ODs books carry to NG+ as if they are activated?

They are not, I just got to him in my NG+ and I had no books taken out, and he gave me two rentals right from the get go. Gotta remember to pop back in a few times to get the third rental slot until I can kick the shit out of him and take them all again lol.

>Shards also are stronger
Why are you moving goalposts? We were talking legendary weapons. Rhava Velar outclasses every single weapon you could ever craft or find in the game. It makes late game boring as fuck and all the other weapons completely meaningless.

Just teleport to Twin Towers, there's 3 blue chests with Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald always available. Chests reset when you re-enter the area, so teleport somewhere else and then back.

Because you can already break the game hours prior? Because even within that set of legendary weapons, the difference between killing a boss is a time save of under a second so in reality it really doesn't fucking matter what weapon out of that set you pick?

>OLD GAME GOOD

it's like dawn but with worse music and no skellies

Only focus on increasing luck, also you can buy stuff you have cooked before if you need it again

I feel like people overrate SOTN heavily. I like it, but having played through all the IGA games in the last few months it's not as good as Aria

I'm still on Normal, I wanted a victory lap before I went up in difficulty lol. NG+2 will be hard, and 3 will be nightmare to truly test myself lol.

Go back to playing the game, where you will soon need to rely on a different item to progress.

If your damage is low enough you can take your time undressing her twice

SOTN has the most simple gameplay out of all IGA's games. Very few weapon and spell types, no difficulty modes, half of the game is literally copypasta etc etc, I suppose people tend to rank it highly because it was a "big screen" game and the first of its kind? But it's fucking crazy to compare it favorably to the DS games or ROTN.

both games are good, just think SOTN had the better music and I preferred the look of it. It's ok, calm down

NG+ will always be piss easy, even on nightmare. I just did an NG+ on hard, it was in fact much easier than NG on normal, easily got every boss medal, including OD's.

If I ever go back to this game I'll start on hard or nightmare right away.

I think it's a combination of the game being relatively low key and the classic design elements lending credibility to designs that feel like they came from the early aughts.

Wonder how they must be feeling right now

Maybe

You're supposed to find the spike armor by looking around to get around the spikes

that barely changes anything, you can break the game harder by using the upgraded reflector ray to enter lava caves from the wrong entrance and skip the secret sorcery lab

You were supposed to grab a suit of armor that ignores spike damage at Twin Towers (the boss room specifically, use invert).

She's a player character in the game files.

I guess that doesn't really matter since I had the armor in my inventory anyways, but what part of "just y/n" do you not fucking understand

And those spikes are the only substantial area of spikes in the game, so why even have the armor?

Has anyone actually paid attention while levelling? Are stat gains randomized like SotN?

Teleport to lava cave or whatever the fuck, there's a fire elemental immediately outside the door. If you can kill it in one hit then you won't have to worry about it flying into the wall where you can't reach, and it doesn't matter if it flies up or down you can still hit it. I have a billion rubies from farming it for bixbite

>why even have the armor?
Because it's a SOTN reference, you dumb zoom zoom.

Have you played SotN? Spike Breaker Armor literally had one purpose which was to open the door in the chapel. You could use them in the spike room designed for the bat echo but there's no need to..

The Aegis Armor protects against ALL environmental hazards, so things like lava and the traps in the Lab don't hurt you.

nothing's stopping non-backers from getting the game anyways

The armor made more sense in SotN because you could get to the spike hallway before going to the Catacombs. In Bloodstained you can only get both the armor and to the oriental lab with invert. The armor is such an arbitrary step to need to take.

Yeah but us backers got some nice swag out of the deal coming to us lol. I'm a $100 physical pc backer, so I got all this coming to me when they finish up all the DLC.

where the fuck do i find the jellyfishs?

there are 2 underwater parts, under the bridge and left down to the waterfalls

no jellyfishs anywere to be seen

I guess I can see that. I don't feel like it's a problem since the armor serves multiple purposes but I see how the thrill of finding the armor and being like "Ho dayum, I know what to do with this" is gone unless you tried exploring that big hall in the entrance first.

There's a third path to the underwater area, that's the only way to get to the jellies

This is the Kojima art, we get that on the case. We also get a poster of it now apparently, and a more collectible version now I guess? I'm still not sure what to make of this part of backer update 87:

"There's also an update regarding our physical PC backer copies that we think everyone will like. We are going to be providing all our PC backers with their digital keys at launch, and waiting until all future free stretch goals / content is released before sending physical PC copies of the game.

We've heard the feedback that fans would like the most complete version possible on disc. While we can't do the same with console orders due to first-party logistics, release timelines and costs, by offering this to PC physical backers we hope to provide them with a crystallized encapsulation of the Kickstarter content that you all helped make possible and fulfill the "collector's desire" that I'm sure many like myself hoped for when backing for a PC physical copy. We'll be sharing more about when to expect physical PC copies as we obviously reveal more about the free dlc / stretch goals in the future."

Need to make Gram so I can learn that. What's the best room for grinding techniques?

The fucking bridge in COTM Stage 2. I'm getting swarmed by these damn frogs they drop on me. Maybe I should just give up on the long route and go straight to the boss fight.

I planned to but I fucking love the long ponytail in red. Had to make a fitting colour scheme to match.

Do the Mortes not give out any shards? I've been killing them for ages and not a single shard.

And/or switch to Casual. I honestly found it a lot more fun than Veteran.

I'm super stoked about it, Kojima knocked it out of the park. Literally the only reason I backed at the $100 tier. Putting my Castlevania obsessed kid's name in the credits was icing on the cake lol.

Trying not to be a pussy but you might be right.

They don't drop shards. Any enemy in the bestiary with dashes in their shard section are total blanks.

I need to beat the optional boss fights and complete the map then I'm pretty much done outside of grinding tasks. It's been a hell of a ride. I fucking loved my time with it. I still need to beat Curse of the Moon though. Barely touched it since I bought it.

They do not. Check your archive, anything with a dash in the Shard Drop Rate/Name doesn't drop one. It'll be question marks if it does.

The vast majority do but there are a couple to be aware of, mostly basic Morte type enemies and some humanoid ones.

It doesn't affect achievements or anything. If you're not having fun, change it and don't sweat the elitist faggots who will anonymously shame you on the internet.

What are the other purposes? It's used to pass the entrance spikes but by then you've already completed the fire caves. It would make more sense if there were something like a path under the lava.

I used millionaire room.

Ah, I see. That was unclear for me.

Literally just convenience. Especially with the shortcuts, you can have a Mobility setup that has the Aegis plate on so you don't have to worry about hazards while going full Sanic around the castle.

>dragging your sword all the way down the twin towers
Doesn't get better than this.

This. I can Regen MP in seconds and Teps Oceus clears rooms without me needing to aim, plus Healing if I do manage to get hit.

It's just one more toy in your toybox. It's not that big of a deal.

Its just another thing to add to the pile though. There's a pretty well designed game underneath the overpowered shards and weapons.

Exactly, removing one weapon from the pile wouldn't improve anything.

Getting overpowered is part of the design. Always has been with these games.

It's broken in Dawn of Sorrow.

Chotto matte, how do I NG+ after game clear?

Why doesn't this game have seperate MP pools for Conjure/Directional/Techniques? Sharing the same pool just makes you choose which of the three you have that's best to use in any given situation, while splitting the three up would make you take advantage of all three of those options. You could even have three different stats that reflect the amount of MP you have between the three.

Why has it been 2 decades since SotN, and this thought didn't cross Iga's brain once?

Attached: 1547912939874.png (405x491, 81K)

3rd time's the charm, but thanks user, that's the only luck setup there is, but I just noticed I can get levels and my Augment LCK isn't maxed too

I have that but I use rank + grade 9 Pickpocket because sometimes I get a drop from hitting, not sure if that's better or worse than Augment LCK. Doesn't matter anyways because I have all shard upgraded to rank 9 anyways, just need to grind grade 9 for all the shards. I'll likely go to NG+ for an extra Solomon's Ring to make it easier.

Pickpocket is shit because drops aren't doubled, you either get it on hit or on death, but never the both. Drop that shard.

There's a jap haircut in the weeb area. It's not hime though, more like geisha.

Giving every shard its own MP would make things harder, though, because instead of relying on your most powerful shard, you have to use all three.

I'm extremely disappointed about the lack of long twintails.
What we have are too short for my taste.

I used this one to platinum the game, super easy to do.

Why not just use Cheat Engine if you're gonna cheat anyways?
Because I bought the game, not pirated. I thought if I used Cheat Engine on my Steam copy I'd be banned or something even if Steam didn't give a fuck about about changing values, didn't want to take that chance, idfk.

Now you can use your THREE most power shards at once and never fear running out of MP completely.

That's about the level I fought her. Only used Heretical Grinder and Bloodsteal for when I got too low.

You can craft Grams

I fight bosses with the same setup I explore with which isn't really luck-focused. I sometimes switch things around depending on the boss to look for weaknesses.

I know that about the passives, but I don't have 9 of any shard. My best is 3 or maybe 4.

What the hell is Saucy Strands? I've got 99% on this damn castle and I've made all the recipes I can fine. Obviously I'm missing something but fucking what?

Just beat Iga. What a fucking asshole of a boss. I didn't even try to learn his patterns. Just kept attempting to burst him down with 8-bit flame until it finally worked one run. Sword Whip is pretty fucking cool but it's disappointingly weak for how hard that nigger is and how late in the game. It does have the longest range though I guess.

What level should I roughly be to fight Zangetsu the 2nd time? I can get him to the lightning phase but the hits I don't parry just make me lose a lot of health.

As many as you want

Look at the picture above her head then compare it to the pictures in the Prepare menu. It's Classic Spaghetti

Guess which recipe I DON'T have? Where the fuck is that recipe book?

Another reason why I'm not doing NG+ yet. I backed for the Whip Sword and I am getting the Whip Sword.

I didn't have it either until I ran around aimlessly in NG+. I still don't know where I got it.

Good luck.

Reservoir. Left wall near a chest you can reach from that room.

don't parry, dodge.

Scratch that. I thought you were the Gram guy, my bad. 'though I guess the answer is similar, I just had it. See:

CAN'T reach. There is a door right above the book you need.

Do you mean the Waterway?

>old on is archived
>>/vg/

Dodge? I've seen tons of people saying stop using portraits and grinder as a crutch and start parrying.

Fuck I've spent ages getting the hang of parrying different enemies.

Yes. I believe it is several rooms after you fall down the waterfall.

Alright I'll check it out. Thanks.

parry is good, but if you can't, use stuff like invert to abuse invincibility frames.

Why is OD wearing a goofy nose now?

cause Miriam fucking clowned him.

puppy wont drop its shard for me. stupid dog

Wait, this shit is good?

Are there X-bit coin weapons any good? I have 24k right now so I could buy the 16-bit one.

So what happened to Zangetsu? He's dead? Last time we saw him, he got pulled into the ground by Gremory, but we didn't see him die.

do i get a 32 bit coin for every time i finish course 2 boss rush?

Ch-Cheshire?

Shield Weapon is good because it has guard frames. I don't think any of the others are worth bothering with.

At the start? Yes. Afterwards you get them for the looks/completionism.

DLC, obviously

The last upgrade of the 8-bit gun is the best weapon in the game

Post-game dialogue implies he's dead. We might learn more when his DLC comes out.

>mfw switch to Japanese voice
Comparing the two now the English voices were so boring and unfitting of the characters. This is way better. Miriam is sexy and Dominique is an ojousama I want to get ara ara'd by

Can anyone find a version of this in high res without the text?

Game's too short for the ammount of grind it has. I could start a NG+ but I'd have to reach the end game again to start farming rank 9s and ultimate weapons again so what's the point. I already beat the last boss and don't have the will to go back.

Dominique is voiced by one of my favorites eroge seiyuu, I love her voice

just giver her black hair and you got Lisa Lisa

Who? I may have fapped to her already.

Miriam's english voice is pure sex though

He's alive. You don't see him in the normal field-of-view, but he's standing just off to the side.

>brute forced my way through the spikes with potions and food

I say fuck the rules

You can see his shadow on the right and the sound of footsteps

>that spoiler

Wat.

How do you know this? I didn't see anyone on the side.

The beauty of Metroidvanias is in the sequence breaking.

And give up english OD, Todd, and cab driver? I think not.

i noticed in the beginning when you're in the ship, there's like a life boat in the background.

Didn't really spend enough time to try and figure out who/what it is since it was my speedrun run.

It's Zangetsu. He's literally outracing your ship in a rowboat.

She voiced Michiru in Grisaia and Touko in Sanoba Witch, for example.

Played a little of this after a friend bought it and despise all its flaws, is a really good game. Im sure they are working in a patch for all the common bugs and whatnot, but will they keep making improvements to the game? If there is a possibility of a "definitive edition" of this game later on, I might wait.

Where the fuck do I find Fruit Juice?

Bros, Rhava Búral actually saved this game for me.
I'm playing on hard and i was really struggling with it because it was so goddamt stupid to play, but normal was way to easy in comparison (i needed 15~ minutes to beat the first boss compared to almost an hour on hard).
But ever since i got that weapon my enjoyment for the game instantly tenfolded.
It's got everything: good damage (at least for now), INSANE mobility, you can even backstep without interrupting your attacks, and incredible attack speed.
No special moves so far, but in my experience they just fuck you up more often than they're useful.

Anyone else using the Rhava Búral or am i just too nooby or not far enough into the game to see the drawbacks of that weapon?

WHAT THE FUCK HOW THE HELL CAN'T MIRIAM FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE SPAGET WITHOUT A RECIPE WHEN SHE'S ALREADY MAKING CREPES, SEA URCHIN AND OMURICE???

Attached: 7b9.jpg (326x326, 18K)

I know right? I love it, so cute,

I've toyed with it a bit but find myself going back to whips most of the time. As long as the weapon works for you then stick with it.

It's double stupid because I already have two OTHER spaghetti recipes.

You didn't see how she looked in the demo, huh?

>have all the materials on the list but the game says it's only 99%
I hope this is like my map completion that only showed 99.80% until I restarted the game and then showed 100%.

Yeah, she looked like someone ate a whole bunch of seaweed and puked it into the game.

The game saves after you clear it.

I don't believe you

You have to follow the recipee, user!

How shitty is the item collectors trophy gonna be? It’s my last one to get? Are there any tips? There’s no guides online.

How the fuck do I break floors

With your mind!

slide

Slide.

Ambivalence secretly gives several dagger and arrow shards holy or dark element damage. Flying Dagger shreds anything weak to either with it.

I'm doing it right now, and it really sucks. You have to get every consumable, material,, weapon, armor, etc. Having boatloads of money helps with the crafting part.
