Any tips for Zangetsu second fight? I get trashed by the electric phase. I could probably just spam health pots but I wanna get good.
Sebastian Martinez
I just kept jumping behind him and slashing as much as I could. What is your loadout / level?
Caleb Harris
the bosses in this game have random patterns, wonky hitboxes and not telegraphed movies
your only option is to cheese them
Austin Sullivan
So, is this game good or not?
Should I pirate it?

Only spell I really use is Riiga Storma. Also throwing spears sometimes. I usually use Rhava Bural, but I feel like Flying Edge is a lot safer because I don't have to deal with his backstep attack which I have trouble dodging.

Mason Adams
gameplay is grinding and spamming the strongest shards you have
there's no reason to go melee besides Rhava Velar
I don't consider this gameplay since it's just robotic repetition
Nicholas Jenkins
You make your own challenge in this game.
No shards/healing on Nightmare is incredibly difficult, but you need the discipline to not give in and use the game's many easy modes.
It's like how in Dark Souls you can just summon phantoms and spam magic if you want; the game can be made incredibly easy if you don't restrict yourself a bit.
David Perez
Most of these metroidvania games are pretty much the same you grind until you start steamrolling everything. I guess some of the bosses put up a fight but if you grind enough you tame em easy.
Ayden Edwards
intentionally gimping yourself only happens because of bad game design
The DS games had decent Hard Modes so what happened to IGA?
William Torres
>there's no reason to go melee besides Rhava Velar
If you want to beat the game as fast and easily as possible, then no there isn't.
If you want to actually enjoy the game, then there are heaps of different weapons to experiment with that can all be fun to use. Just don't craft Rhava V or use the OP shards and build your own difficulty.
Zachary Davis
Encrypted Orchid locks him down pretty hard with it's slow effect it has. You could also use the directional shield shard from that knight with the big shield. It's overpowered as fuck and blocks everything.
Elijah Scott
Bloodstained was a great game i really hope konami ask iga to make his own castlevania game
Michael Lopez
>intentionally gimping yourself only happens because of bad game design
There are challenge runs for every Souls game out there. Are you saying that all of those games are badly designed?
Yes, Bloodstained has lots of ways to become overpowered. That's part of the fun for a lot of people. It's still up to you whether you use them or not.
Ethan Edwards

Isaac Robinson
konami means nothing to me now, they were dead to me once kojumbo skedaddled

Nah they're alright i'd like to see another castlevania game by iga preferably with richter as the main character
Benjamin Fisher
>There are challenge runs for every Souls game out there.
and?
Are you saying that all of those games are badly designed?
Souls games are built on being challenging so every game mechanic is balanced around this, gimping yourself in them is just looking for extra masochism.
>Yes, Bloodstained has lots of ways to become overpowered.
The game is built on autism collecting not skill.
> That's part of the fun for a lot of people
Yeah these games are made for no-skill/lazy balding boomers
>It's still up to you whether you use them or not.
Not using every gameplay mechanic to have some challenge is the definition of bad game design, if the mechanic makes the game too easy then it shouldn't even had been developed
Dylan Wood
The 'autism collecting' is only for people who want to become overpowered. There's no need to do it at all. If you felt an intense need to farm every shard and complete every quest then I hate to break it to you but you might be the autistic one buddy.
If you don't farm items, then the game remains challenging, especially on the higher difficulty levels. Even shards like Welcome Company and weapons like Rhava Bural get out paced by the bosses by mid game, and they are both low drop chances anyway.
If you just play the game and don't be autistic about it, then the game is moderately difficult and gets fairly tough in the late game.
Elijah Long
Hopefully not. I really hope this game does well so we get more content.

They're not alright, Contra looks bad, Metal Gear Survive was awful, their hyped up E3 reveal was a fucking TurboGrafx Mini, and they've fired pretty much everyone of note at this point. They actively DO NOT WANT to be involved in the video game industry at this point and only do so now to cash in.
Tyler Howard
you can see them thinking "so long suckers. We'll make more money from gambling than we ever did on these costly games". Then MGSV sells above their expectations, so they scramble to make some asset flip game and now trying to make a few games to cash in.
Parker Adams
It's odd that the second to last area in the game is a shrunk down version of the garden. I wonder if they planned to do that for the whole castle at one point, making it their version of the inverted castle. If so, I'm glad it got pared down, that area was pretty tedious to navigate.
Dylan Lewis
the visuals aren't that bad but the animations are foul
Asher Thomas
Iga doesn't really need Konami as long as he's given a decent working environment. With his own little universe he doesn't have to be beholden to set in stone events or deciding what's canon or not and trying to wedge new games into a timeline that's supposed to have the resident bad guy only resurrecting once a century.
Seeing the actual Demon Castle War of 1999 would have been nice though.

Levi Long
I like the basic design, but the fact that every fucking bit of artwork for him and the in-game destroys the proportions and gives him weird cone arms or rubber hose legs really ruins it.
Also I could have sworn the visor came down during the bosses absorption animation but I may be remembering wrong.
Landon Foster
They are both westaboos, but Inafune took the söypill while Iga swallowed the chadpill.
Isaac Wright
IGA had a reputation at konami for being able to push out a solid product on a low budget. It's not surprising a man with that reputation would handle his funds better than Inafune who had been very cavalier with spending for years. Inafune would fund prototypes he was personally interested in under the assumption that once enough money had been spent on a project, other authorities at the company would just let him finish it rather than kill the project. That does not sound fiscally responsible to me.
Kayden Russell
There's another variation near the end of the game.
Aaron White
That was what happened with Mega Man 2 wasn't it? The team just started work on it without Capcom's actual approval and showed to them when it was near completion and basically forced their hand in approving it.
Asher Cox
He actually gave a shit
And he's the better game architect
Levi Ortiz
>randomly a japanese section
>ending is just big area with big reskinned enemies followed by [ice textured caves] instead of [brown textured caves] or [lava textured caves]
these are huge issues, also the game is just generally ugly as fuck and yes i turned down the brightness
Kevin Johnson
>that area was pretty tedious to navigate.
thats probably why you can get the accelerator shard in the area
Kevin Torres
No, Capcom had already approved a sequel after Kitamura went to the higher ups wanting a second chance, but it was given a lower budget and the team were made to work on it during their free time from other, more important projects. It also recycled some unused content from the first game to fill in the gaps.
Andrew Taylor
Yes. Check the demon list, shows you what drops, same with the item list: shows you what demons drop said item
John Bell
Yea that felt out of place, but it's not a deal breaker
I thought the game looked inconsistent. There were some decent looking areas, but others weren't good
Overall though, I'd say it's a pretty solid game that could've used more refining
Camden Hall
Not sure on Mega Man 2 and I don't think Inafune would have been the instigator at that point. That's what happened with Dead Rising though. The board turned it down but Inafune didn't tell the team working on it. A few months later they now had a much more advanced prototype and had spent enough money to make it harder to just throw away.
Jonathan Scott
Fuck you, I like parrying with the katanas
Logan Butler
The series producer at the time said no to Mega Man 2, so Kitamura literally went ovver his head and appealed to one of the Capcom VP's at the time to get approval for the project.
I think they had to work on some baseball game in addition to MM2 at the time.
Because of the friction between the two, this resulted in Kitamura leaving Capcom.
Zachary Jackson
>these are huge issues
Not really. They're issues, sure, though I liked the Japanese and Desert areas, but they're not that important. It's just visuals, and if they want to make this a Castlevania style series then the next game will have tons of asset work already done which will free up more budget for better looking environments and more enemy variety. That's what they did with Castlevania after all, Asset Reuse: the series.

I think the second one is the curse ring that drops from those banshee looking enemies.
Adrian Hill
From a lore standpoint it's because basic Morte, and Giant Morte by extention, are basic, lesser demons with no magic or crystal growth of their own. The other variants are Morte that have all absorbed other creatures and used them to develop abilities. Bone Morte are literally just throwing the bits and pieces of the humans they consumed at you.
Aaron Garcia
The ship theme is a banger, imo
Jackson Mitchell
Do you mean the Cursed Ring from the screaming Cyhyraeth screaming curse witches that drop Witch's Tears? Because I have a few of those already if so, actually.
Robert Sanders
Yes because is a mix of Ruined Castle Corridor, Dracula's Castle and Iron Blue Intention

The bullet system is retarded.
Why does it needs two fucking bullet slots despite the fact how samey all of them are?
There was no reason not to make all bullets directional and give something more interesting for other slots. Not to mention that guardian type souls are laughable here compared to DoS with barely any interesting stuff going on for them.
The only good thing about whole system is that they brought summons back i guess.
Nathan Cox
Hudson Cook
Paintings are useful for keeping trash mobs away, but there's better options for killing enemies without having to hug up to them. Better shards kill enemies before they can get close to you.
Lincoln Brown
lewd
Dylan Brown
The second half of the game is fucking awful. Everything that needs to unlock the true ending is genuinely poorly designed. It feels that they've only designed the game up to Gebel. Everything, from the boss design to level and enemy design just pummels down in quality extremely hard.

Wyatt Adams
First one is thick glasses sold in the shop.
Second is black belt, chest is somewhere in garden of silence I think.
Bentley Thomas
Compare your map with this
Jaxon Phillips
By that point you should have several items and shards to crank up item drop rate. And once you cook something with the meat, you can always buy it from the shop and uncook it.
Elijah Hughes
The rare drop on the beef? I mean, it's used in some of the most potent crafting recipes in the games in terms of First Time Bonus buffs, so it's fair if you ask me. You only need like four of them or so to craft the dishes that use it, which is easy as fuck to do if you have at least 60 Luck and one or two Plunder Rings, and then you just make the items and rebuy them from the shop without the need to farm more beef if you need the food item again for yourself or Susie.

And now I've got 100% Item Completion. Thanks a bunch, user. Only thing I have left before I do NG+ is technique completion now.
Jaxson Hill
seeth
Luis Flores
Farm the Deathtraps right near hallways in either the Lava area or that one side room in the Oriental Lab. After you get Augment Luck from them you can craft Augment Gold with it at Johannes in exchange for a bunch of gold (the crafting item, not the currency.) To help with that you can go the ghetto route and farm Ayamur in the Waterway from water horses and alkahest that for 1 gold a piece (which is very slow), or you can just craft 1 gold yourself then buy it from Dominique over and over for like 11k gold (currency) a piece. I think that requires Fell Leaves or something to make though, due to the Dark Matter component, and that's pretty late game in terms of crafting mats, so yeah.
Aaron Bell
Alternatively, farm one Ayamur, alkahest it, then recombine the alkahested materials into one crafted Gold, unlocking that item in the vendor shop menu. If you have Alchemical Bounty at a good rank then you can disassemble one Gold over and over, reassembling it continuously while praying for procs of multiples getting made through the shard's duplication chance.
Joshua Jones
>Alternatively, farm one Ayamur, alkahest it, then recombine the alkahested materials into one crafted Gold, unlocking that item in the vendor shop menu.
this is more efficient with the Gold Breastplate once you have two gold to make it
Caleb Hall
Which difficulty for a first playthrough? Hard? Nightmare?
Alexander Long
What you can do is farm one Ayamur, dismantle that into gold, dismantle the gold into mercury and dark matter, and then dismantle the dark matter. Then you can put them all back together and all of the items will appear in the shop.
Benjamin Ross
I hope someone makes a good randomizer out of this.

Sadly true in all likelihood, but still, we can try to get at least kind of close like they did with the Revenant. Even if they went with something along these lines for a generic enemy it'd have way more personality than Morte blob men.
Mason Carter
Rhava Velar doesn't seem that good to me on Nightmare. There's a very long portion of the game, arguably the hardest portion, where you don't have the stats to get decent damage out of it.

Josiah Fisher
why restore your MP why you can just sue gebel's glasses
Colton Robinson
that is endgame stuff and at that point i'm done with the game.
Dominic Thompson
That's just how he seems to enjoy making games. Half the fun is being rewarded for experimenting with all the tools at your disposal for where you are in the game and finding out which ones are broken as fuck, like how Heretical Grinder and not-Vorpal Blade are amazing when you first get them, but by mid-game they're kind of forgotten about because you have so much overpowered shit like auto-aim Teps Oceus and screen-clear Riga Stormaera and you can murder shit with melee from across the entire goddamn screen with Flying Edge the second you get to the Towers.

Michael Myers
I didn't realize Lethargy worked on stuff, every enemy I tried using it on resists it.
Caleb Brown
I never used it once because I assume it either doesn't work on bosses or it would make them into unfun cake-walks, and standard enemies die way too quickly and easily to justify debuffing them instead of just hitting them 2-4 times within the span of a second or three.
Jeremiah White
Caleb Nelson
This is why Curse, Poison, and Slow all kind of suck, but Petrify is cool because sometimes it means only needing to swing at an enemy once instead of four or so times. Sculptor's Chisel early game is stupid good.

Angel Barnes
I thought it was just dumb meme shit too, but then I saw a webm of someone's MP skyrocketing and I immediately farmed that shit.
I like to sit on it while using healing for a slow but completely free refresher.
Ryan Sanders
Is it based on grade or rank?
Ethan Phillips
I'm really not sure how the MP recovery works exactly. Sometimes you sit down and you recover for just a couple seconds, other times it fills up most of the bar. Whenever it stops you can just stand and sit back down to restart it.
Elijah Reed
I think it's grade since rank just says "gives you more chair types".

Poison's good if you're making heavy use of Blood Steal, yeah, that's fair. If not then it's mediocre at best and you're better off just going with flat damage.
Asher Richardson
Poison ticks for 204 on Master Carpenter. That's in addition to all of the other damage you'll be doing, that's crazy.
Juan Johnson
>all that chip damage and pomp and flourish
>or do an 800+ damage swing with a greatsword and instakill it
Mason Ramirez
Anyone else hoping for a mod for Zangetsu that turns him into Snake and his sword into a huge fucking combat knife?
Matthew White
Some of my Shortcut slots are just empty bullshit save for changing out a Passive shard to things like Alchemic Bounty or Money is Power (depending on the NPC I'm interacting with). I think I might make one into a Chair quickslot now, to swap off of things like Riga Stormaera easily without missing a beat. I like the idea of actually using that spell for a practical reason, it sound fun for repeat playthroughs before you get the MP per second upgrade drinks.
Nathaniel Garcia
Pretty sure that particular animation was kinda old.
Christian Scott
I crafted a Stinger just before the double jump boss and was surprised to see it actually proc. Not that it did a lot between all the arrows and dullaheads getting thrown at it.
Colton Butler
Master Carpenter is so fucking quick and easy that I'm genuinely baffled you're even using him as a defense. It takes seconds to kill him at most, regardless of weapon as long as you're using endgame-tier shit.
Logan Miller
I finished it other than IGA and OD yesterday.
I don't think I'll bother with them. Enjoyed the exploration a lot more than the bosses. Only one or two decent ones in the whole game.
Jack Long
Not on Nightmare since he's harder to gun to death. Not to mention I'm always fighting him as soon as I get to the Oriental Sorcery Lab so none of the endgame stuff is available because there's no orichalcum or imbrued fang at that point.
Levi Gomez
This boss was weirdly easy if you ask me. I beat it with no issues at all within like twenty seconds by just following it around with a spear. Seemed anticlimactic considering I had been looking forward to finding the flying library boss Zangetsu's letter arrow mentioned early on.
Aaron Moore
>Not on Nightmare since he's harder to gun to death.
I don't like guns in this game so this is going over my head to some extent but that's fine. I assume you're just saying he hates range and that's where spells and spears and Flying Edge come into play.
>Not to mention I'm always fighting him as soon as I get to the Oriental Sorcery Lab so none of the endgame stuff is available
You're able to go to the fire are first, aren't you? Or am I misremembering that? If not, go there, get Dimension Shift, go to the Towers, get the Valkyrie Sword, bam, endgame weapon without needing to craft jack shit.
Ryan Foster
Its weird because it was the hardest boss to me in Curse of the moon. In Ritual its pathetic.
Justin Cruz
Sure you can. Carpenter Key only requires invert. Also Dimension Shift is way the fuck after OSL. By the time you've gotten Dimension Shift, you've basically beaten the game.
Angel Long
>fire are
Fire area, I meant. My bad
Either way, just remembered that the fire area gives Invert, not Dimension Shift. That comes from Gremory. My bad. So, yeah, disregard.
Jack Jones
Try doing it without taking damage.
Alexander Foster
>Beat Normal and Hard
>Want to play Nightmare and get all the medals but dunno if I want to grind another saveslot and level 1 while I'm at it
Is there any big difference on Nightmare compared to hard other then permanently being Level 1?
Ryan Johnson
It has a lot more moves in Curse, too, like that huge light explosion it does like the demon thinks he's a fucking Belmont.
Jackson Thompson
Riga dohin is much better against him since it will hit him like 4 times at least before he moves again
Ayden Hernandez
Whoever posted this in a previous Bloodstained thread:
Thanks, I can’t unsee this now.
>Don’t cry, Miriam
Hudson Carter
No, it's just being permanently level 1. It does change your tactics a bit, particularly in the early game, where you just don't have the damage to brute force through some rooms.
Jonathan Foster
You know, Beck looks rather familiar...
Ryan Green
god this is terrible, might have to uninstall
Julian Peterson
Thanks, I guess I'll just replay it later then. I got too burned out by this game.
Charles Green
Why would I bother now that Teps Oceus and that one light-chaser spell seem like the obvious answers to fighting this thing? When I was fighting that boss blind with a spear I didn't know those tools existed, but now I do.
Asher Morris
>someone saved that garbage collage I made after watching a video that showed off Curse of the Moon and all I saw was that fucking Scissorman from Clock Tower
Somehow I'm flattered
Logan Moore
I'm not certain, but I feel like your ATK value is also permanently halved. So far my melee damage has been atrocious.
Angel Robinson
Given how wide its mouth is, I wonder if it's also a reference to pic related Japanese urban legend, sort of like how the train's curse Morte is also based on one.
Ryder Gutierrez
Jaxson Scott
I play this game just because Miriam is voiced by Koshimizu.
Jackson Walker
Could someone warn me about what I'll lose if I hit L2 and go into NG+? I have 100% item completion so I'm kind of worried about how much of said collection I'll lose, largely for aesthetic reasons. I like Miriam Dress-Up Simulator.
Isaiah Green
>Special message 12 is Alucard Bane Posting
>sm 13 isn’t Miriam responding with “sending this castle back to hell, WITH NO SURVIVORS! “

You lose all shards and items required to progress like Double Jump, Invert, Craftwork, Aegis plate and the Zangetsuto.
You keep everything else, including Accelerator.
Lucas Harris
Logan Campbell

OH FUCK RUN
Bentley Davis
Bro do you even clock tower
Caleb Johnson
Oh, alright, that sounds perfectly fine. I'll miss Double Jump but it should take less than an hour to get it back if I don't die. Will High Jump be stricken from me as well, since it's an extension of Double Jump (crafted through it if I remember correctly), or will it be retained as a separate skill in the system's eyes? If I have High Jump AKA Fucking lol infinite jump then I don't care about Double Jump to begin with.
Anyhow, so it's only story-related weapons, progression-blocker skills (maybe even including Aqua Jet and Deep Sinker for all I know), and key items things like Silver Bromide and the Train Pass and all that?
Nathaniel Roberts
Reminder that Koshimizu is already 33 years old expired christmas cake!
Justin Brown
Yeah, High Jump, Aqua Jet, Deep Sinker, Silver Bromide and the Train Pass are all gone.
You'll keep Gebel's glasses though so you can do the flying kick trick for infinite jumps
Joseph Diaz
Explain. Also does it even work on the current version of the game
Daniel Murphy
What's the track name that plays in 8 bit nightmare?
Xavier Richardson
As fuck, didn't remove the post number.
Daniel Foster
You need to use the flying kick move in the air, press the backstep button, use your directional shard and jump.
It can be chained multiple times as long as you have MP.
Josiah Harris
how long will it take to watch the end game credits?
Anthony Wright
Like 30 seconds, you can speed it up.
Nicholas Reyes
I'll take that cake with pleasure. And after I eat it I'll even say OISHIII~
Dylan Reed
I literally do not think my fingers can do this without tool assists. Thanks, neuropathic disorder in my hands.
Gabriel Anderson
Will I keep my crafting mats? I'd like to know if it'd be smart to farm a tiny bit of everything before hitting NG+.
Joshua Cooper
You don't need to do it that fast, as long as you're still in the air after doing a flying kick, the trick will still work.
Jason Hall
I have to grind those fucking bugs from the Twin Towers but they never fucking spawn, any tips of where they spawn more often?

Yes but not the Bovine Plumes because those can craft High jump.

There's a sequence of bosses in the middle of the game that they're all effortless. I think the only one that started giving me a little trouble again was Alfred, because I decided to not equip the poison res shard.
Lucas Foster
Igarashi had the advantage of actually making games before.
Leo Robinson
You lose items, weapons and shards which could be used to skip intented content (Boss door keys, double jump, high jump, books etc) but everything else you keep, including stats and crafted equipment.

All the main bosses in the game seem really easy in normal mode at least, only one I had to try twice was Zangetsu rerun.

Gavin Powell
Is there a version of the Minotaur soul from Dawn of Sorrow? The one that swings a huge fuckoff axe that covers almost the whole screen and does ridiculous damage? That was my favorite in the DS Vanias.
Sebastian Perry
I thought Doppleganger was one of the hardest bosses in the game, at least for trying to get the medal.
You are getting the medals, right?
David Robinson
>You are getting the medals, right?
getting the what now
Ryan Scott
The closest thing is probably the hellhound summon which just explodes the whole screen.
Ryan Richardson
Zangetsu has an annoying shoryuken thing.
David Mitchell
Apparently there are medals for each boss if you kill them without taking a hit. I also only found out about it from this thread.
Sebastian Garcia
>OG
There was a ton of good Kickstarter games released prior to these games getting announced.
Parker Bailey
There’s a giant axe swing shard but it’s not a summon. There’s also Vepa’s tentacles.
Ethan Rodriguez
Parry is fucking great, and so is the 3 hit combo for katana. Even helmsplitter can be good in the right situation.
Basically you're fucking stupid.
Camden Murphy
Is this game beter than SotN?
Blake Lopez
No.
Luke Hughes
I've been replaying SotN because of it getting put free on Xbox.
No, it's not better than SotN.
Jack Rodriguez
Depends on what you want out of it.
I'd say it's at least as good as SotN if not better, but it's certainly uglier and that matters because SotN is beautiful. I'm gay for the Soul system though, so that's a big reason I think Aria /Dawn and RotN are better than SotN.
Nolan Bailey
Name three that are not Shovel Knight.
Cooper Bell
No, but it's in the same ballpark. The thing it most closely resembles is the various GBA/DS Castlevanias, it feels like an amalgam of them all with the serial numbers filed off.
John Gutierrez
It only makes her stronger.
Lucas Butler
No. I'd say it's also worse than Aria. Around the level of DoS, really.
Connor Clark
Did they say there would be a roguelike randomized dungeon DLC for this in the future? Because that sounds it could be super fun if done right.
Chase Baker
Valdis Story, environmental station alpha, Darkwood, Hollow Knight, Dusk, Amid Evil, Sir you are being hunted, Grip, Redout, Skullgirls.
That’s just off the top of my head, only a casual hates kickstarted games.

Christian Howard
If anything, it was the only Metroidvania that actually used the original Gothic horror aesthetic and not shitty anime tropes.
Elijah Morgan
How the fuck does Redbeast's Edge work? The rapier seems to change sizes randomly
Noah Rogers
What I want is to start with nothing and get a random dungeon with random crafting components and drops, so that I actually have a reason to USE the whole equipment list and think what I have access to instead of just making a beeline for Rhava Bural/Velar since it's obviously better than 99% of the list. I think that sort of thing is exactly what this game needs the most. It would probably fix the bosses too because you'd be forced to use suboptimal equipment.
Thomas Sullivan
Why is CotM considered bad? I remember liking it but that was a long time ago by now.
Daniel Myers
Not sure of the date, but for me stuff like Pillars of Eternity 1, Pathfinder Kingmaker, Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2, FTL, Darkest Dungeon, Battle Chef Brigade and more.
The only dud I backed was Pillars of Eternity 2 and even then the gameplay part of the game itself is great, it's just plagued by fucking terrible writing by Californians that turned a magical land of shark people and elves into California with magic.

About the only thing that remotely feels anime-esque, and even then having a jealous rival is not a strictly-anime thing.
But really, Nathan isn't a backdashing DBZ fighter who wipes out everything in a blink, then just chugs easily-purchased potions to heal a few scratches. The castle isn't a technicolor eyesore, and the character designs look reasonably horror-themed.
Lucas Taylor
luckily there isn't an achievement for techniques because they knew nobody gave a shit about them.
David Roberts
>tfw grinded every shard to 9 including resist curse and 8 bit flame
Ethan Taylor
Not at all, no.
It has some flaws but it’s not a terrible game. Double tapping to run sucks, and the card system isn’t ideal, but the castle design is top notch.

Yeah instead he uses cards to summon monsters to help him out, nothing anime about that.

The techniques in this game are so fun, even if they aren't necessary. I also love that one of the late game quests gives you a weapon that basically unlocks the Alucard Sword move for straight swords.
Still, Katanas have my heart. The three hit combo, Eclipse strike, Nothing Personnel dash, slam attack, it's all too fun to chain together.
Aaron Bennett

Electricity has the effect of slowing enemies. Use the single shot teps shard, and wail on him from behind

Agreed. I love Bloodstained and most of the experience is top tier but the bosses largely aren't great.
The main one that kills me is the twin dragons since their CotM version was so great and they don't even use the "combining into one creature" gimmick they're clearly designed around, with teeth on their top and bottom.

Carson Gutierrez
I'm hoping Zangetsu's mode actually tells the story from his perspective, him meeting up with Dominique and Alfred behind the scenes and all. I don't expect anything too extreme like new bosses.
I could see Dominique, if she's the third character, kind of being the Julius Mode in that it presents am alternate ending where you fight the protagonist in the final battle.
Austin Peterson

Book or Dullahammer objectively speaking.

Nathan Kelly

Gavin Flores

Jaxson Nelson
Two things make a Tis Rozaïn standout first is the fact that it activates almost instantly and you only need on frame of collusion to do full damage which is like 3mp a tick making it and void ray by far the most mp efficient shard but also incredibly useful for clearing a screen without having to stop and cast a spell. The second is it's holy damage, which very few enemies have any holy resist, while most enemies have holy vulnerability.
Easton Nguyen
Its fun for a beam spamming addict like myself.
Matthew Moore
If you have the DLC, he's in the same room as Gebel after your second fight with him.
And he's a goddamn bitch too. Not sure what the best way to handle him is honestly.
Jason Lewis
Jackson Gonzalez
Leo Hill
Did backers get codes emailed to them?
Jack Foster
It's the only directional holy shard I believe.
Yes, it's one time use and is more suited when you have multiple enemies on a screen.
Brayden Evans

Levi Torres
The shield is too fucking good.
Jacob Myers
This is why guns suck, you can kill shit fast but no notable skills to make it stylish
Christian Scott
What level should I be for Dominque? Does it really matter?
Ethan Baker
Teps hits large targets multiple times though. If you're focusing on single target damage on a small target, sure, Tiz may perform better but then wouldn't something like Heretical Grinder be a better choice?
If it's a large enemy though, one strike of Teps will often hit them three or four times, sometimes more if you're lucky.
Carter Rodriguez
Wyatt Torres
Grinding for Dragon Eggs is hell.
Luis Wood
>Heretical Grinder be a better choice?
Doesn't have the reach or the instant activation.
Jonathan Gray
ZANGETSU WHEN?!?!
Camden Richardson
Also important is that Teps hits through fucking walls for those obnoxious enemies that just hover between them.
Anthony Brown
It's so long.
Benjamin Hall
Yes but if you're on console, the DLC isn't out yet so I don't think they've put out codes.
Grind for Gold (the money,) instead. Craft 1 Gold (the item) so you can buy Gold in the shop, then fully Rank/Level Alchemic Bounty and double stack it.
Prepare an item that uses a Dragon Egg (I think Crepe Dough will appear in the store and uses it, could be wrong) and either just buy it and use Alkahest to break it down and/or duplicate the item by breaking down one and savescummimg when crafting it to create 5. Repeat as needed.
Jordan Taylor
What a silly thing for that shard to 'improve'. What possible benefit is there except how fun it is to bounce around at the speed of light?
Lincoln Parker
I imagine this is how an Alzheimer person would shoot with a gun
Nicholas Robinson
Its for those who dont realize that you can get High Jump and want to reach places.
Julian Reyes
Wow, I feel dumb for not thinking of crafting gold just to add it to the shop. I remember seeing the recipe early on and thinking I would never make that
Angel Taylor
You can't oooooooo unless someone eeeeeeeeeeeees first.
William Harris
Huh, I guess. As soon as I saw High Jump in the Crafting menu I wanted nothing but to find then enemy that dropped it and to murder it repeatedly until I got what I wanted.
The High Jump I'm this game is so good too. Feels extremely satisfying.
Jose James
Are there any equipments that increase the amount of exp you get?
Jackson Brown
What's the point of seeds and farming?
Joseph Johnson
After I got Alchemic Bounty I stopped farming for a lot of stuff and just craft. So with like Ombrued Fangs, I can just get one, craft Rheva Velar x5, break down the duplicates and use one of the duplicates to make another 5. If I fuck up or am feeling lazy, I can also just buy one in the shop.
But yeah, to get to that point you need a lot of Gold so you want to craft one then buy the rest since anything but double stacked maxed Bounty has shit odds for crafting multiple.
Jose Ramirez
food bonus and some late game accessories
Kevin Rodriguez
There is atleast one, though I dont remember what it was, maybe an accessory.
Angel Jackson
Getting ingredients to cook, you have a limit for how many potions you can carry but there is no limit for food, they're pretty good for healing.
Noah Ross
Oh, and you can proc Alchemic Bounty when crafting Shards as well. Makes maxing out any crafted shards' Grade super quick.
Liam Davis
Caleb Foster
There's a book you can borrow, if not now then later in the game.
Josiah Edwards
All you have to get is one then you can abuse money mechanics to buy whatever dish you made from the shop and dismantle it.
Daniel King
yes, it's better then SotN. It depends on what you want from it though, so if you say gameplay then Bloodstained is better, some environments and music are better in SotN but that's largely it tbqh

Jayden Miller

Gavin Richardson
The big rose is right there, that only pops up if you get the medal
Colton Bell
If it takes 5 years to make, so be it. Had Bloodstained been rushed out without IGA taking time to make sure stuff got polished, it would have suffered. Even now the game is fairly janky at times.
Zachary Kelly
I don't buy it, load and do it again.
John Bennett
...
Isaac Myers
Probably not considering they can now go full asset recycling and without needing to switch devs two times.
Kevin Jones
I'm expecting them both to be essentially post-game storylines. Zangetsu is about how he escapes Gremory's trap and Dominique is about how she essentially conquers Hell and becomes Not!Dracula after Miriam banishes her, both naturally being set-ups for the inevitable sequel.
Also, between this and the image, there's no denying it's going to be Dom.
steamdb.info
Kayden Powell
This, cranking new Stains out yearly is quite doable if they reuse assets as much as they used with the GBA vanias.

With how broken it gets with Alchemic Bounty, I understand why they patched it to make it a largely endgame feature.

>Zangetsu: So I have had my suspicions about Dom, since she told me to pursue the old man. Instead, she could have told us to work together and it would have been a wiser choice. That tipped me off.

How is farming imbrued fang even hard? Literally sit at the door and hit him while he does nothing.

What are your favorite non Rhava Velar weapons, Yea Forums? I want to take advantage of all these shortcuts I have. Is it possible to have more than 5 by going into NG+, by the way?

Deathtraps drop Augment Luck. Easiest place is a room to the right of the Warp point in Oriental Lab. Once you have that, you can craft Augment Gold using it (it doesn't consume your Shards, just material.)
