Bloodstained thread

Yes sir, don’t mind if I do

EEEEEEEEE

I wondernis there any chance of them adding more than one attack motion for the weapons. They look so awkward when you have to stop in place and continously go through the same frame over and over again. At the very least a quick two frame combo would have been nice, or at least move better like Rhava Bural. It’s a bit disappointing.

Was there something you couldn't figure out during your first playthrough? I was stuck until I randomly got the shard that first lets you move underwater. I didn't think a mandatory mobility shard would be a random drop from an enemy

People saying that it's better than the DS games are out of their fucking minds.

How hard is to platinum this game? You don't need to play it on hard?

What should I spend my 8-bit coin on?

No, it's only one playthrough required. I wouldn't say it's hard, but it does take time to finish the item list which requires all sidequests, souls, and enemy drops plus filling out the map.

Any missables? Yeah that sounds pretty easy.

Not that I can think of. Metroidvanias are about exploration so nothing is ever locked out, and any enemy you only fight once doesn't drop anything randomly.

There are two endings you can miss, though you're very likely to get at least one of them.

The DS games have side quests that can be missed, that's my only concern.

I double checked.
There's 1 missable in the story and one technically missable if you were to overwrite your save after finishing the game (as in, if you don't overwrite you can always go back to get it if you missed it the first time).
Basically it's getting the worst ending and watching the whole credits after getting the best ending.

Yes. You can also only use one item code per game save too.

Is there any item in the game that needs a Fiend Heart to craft? I am getting tired of grinding those Demon Lords so I'd rather dismantle something for it.

Will they ever fix the Switch version?

I missed the fact that you could move the iron maiden statues with craftwork. None of the other roadblocks got me at all, I visited OD at the right time and got the hint I needed for the train before I even beat the twin dragons, and I got the Aegis Plate while exploring, but the fucking Iron Maiden statues got me. I tried to move the one in the garden area after getting craftwork, but the hitbox is way smaller than on the normal statues so I failed to grab it once because I was out of range and didn't try it ever again for some reason, I still feel bad that the reason I couldn't beat the game without help was something that no one else had an issue with.

Is Silver Knight the best familiar in the game?

They are trying to do that right now, which is why Zangetsu DLC is delayed indefinitely.

I wish they dropped the Switch version and release the DLCs instead. Only idiots would buy an underpowered machine and complain about it underperforming when compared to the other consoles.

lo

Long answer: lol

invert as soon as he spawns to get on top of the train then go to the little part inbetween cars and use heretical grinder, he cant do shit about it

No it isnt. Upgrade does nothing for it.
Rank only adds new moves.
DPS sales with INT

This. I'm so fucking glad I sold my Switch. wew right before the Switch Mini reveal dropped out nonetheless.

It doesn't even have the same appeal the 3DS had.

Blood Grinder

Max Grade Dullahead is so strong that it can beat bosses without you even doing anything on Nightmare.

Am I doing it wrong or is this game a fucking mess, gameplay wise? I never played SotN or other metroidvania castlevanias, and before this I played a few such as Hollow Knight, Ori, and Shantae (which was shit so it doesn't count), and I'm finding this game to be pretty fucking loose and unprecise in its gameplay.
HK especially was very precise and every enemy had a defined attack pattern and a precise way to avoid\counter or whatever, this one seems to be more like an action jrpg where you can't avoid getting hit because every enemy flails around aimlessly and does random numbers of damage that you can mitigate by using equipment and grinding so you can flail at the enemy and defeat it before he defeats you.

If playing on NG nightmare while collecting boss medals, I recommend Red Beast's Edge. The 8-bit version's ATK will increase as you get more shards and caps out at 52 when you get enough.

There's a glitch that gives it a full blade similar to the 32-bit version when you use the rapier technique by spamming attack button, but the hitbox is still similar to a dagger, so the glitch is pointless.

in my headcanon, after we finished beating the game, me and carabosse went on a world tour

damn that fairy got some big ol tiddies

Are there graphics mods for the game yet? Something that adds blur to the backgrounds like in many other modern 2.5d platformers so I don't have to look at those barren shit looking landscapes?

There's something to be said about the goofy moments in this game that you generally wouldn't get in a 2D sprite based game.

Attached: NOPE.webm (1522x742, 2.26M)

There's only a couple of enemies in bloodstained that don't have clear patterns or tells, you just aren't looking hard enough. I went straight into hard mode in my first playthrough and I'm currently halfway done with a fresh Nightmare run and the only enemies with excessive RNG or unreactable tells are the jellyfishes, the giant rats and the hellhounds, and the latter two only show up early in the game. The giant rat is completely avoidable, and you have plenty of ways to deal with the jellyfishes from afar by the time you reach them.

Basically, get good.

The Castlevania side of metroidvanias has typically used some kind of leveling system, so you're not wrong per say. SOTN was well known for being horribly unbalanced and/or broken as shit with the kinds of things the player could manage to do. It was the kind of game where you could destroy the final boss in less than a minute if you spent some time grinding out the correct setup.

>Oh FUCK, maxed out sperm familiar, chinger changger ninja daggers i'm outta here.

The entire game felt like the dev team's first encounter with Unreal Engine, for better or worse. I can see why the game still came out janky after 5 years. Some environments are ridiculously lavish and detailed, which is nice, but this came at the cost of not enough dev time being spent on other more important features.

>the dev team's first encounter with Unreal Engine,
Were you pretending to do not know that for the bigger "impact"?

Japan in general seems to be having a hard time figuring out shaders for some reason.

Just cancel your attacks by either landing from a jump or backdashing after attacking and you're good for most enemies if you can look out for their tells, which most enemies have. Like yeah there's the heads, giant rats and that hidden train enemy that do just move about doing damage but that's kinda their only attack.

IGA is wasting time trying to fix the port for Nintendo's onahole.

How are you actually supposed to dodge the big spinny laser that Gremory has? Jumping over her is no problem but going under her just results in damage taken. Are you supposed to i-frame cheese it with that Katana dash attack?

>Want to play the game, but Miriam voice is corrupted and fucked.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What does sitting down do? There is one whole library room where you can do nothing but sit directly facing some dude's portrait.

You can teleport through it, or use invert to slide under Gremory while on the roof. The slide lowers your hit box significantly.

there's a chair on the train that has something spoopy if you sit long enough, there's also a jumping chair in the underground area that can take you up to a higher area

summon chair regens mp

Directional shield? I did Gremory without using it but next boss has it as well and I had to equip the shield

Usually nothing. There's a few unique chairs. Sitting on a summoned chair will increase your MP recovery for a random amount.

Sit on the chairs near the library, the ones close to the spinning spikes things for a cool easter egg.

they're permanent until you return them. You can grab all of them after an optional event in the endgame.

I'm not saying the game is hard though. I'm playing on normal mode on PC (weren't the harder modes locked first time? Maybe there's a mod or a save that unlocks them, if so please share), the game is piss easy, and even then, I'm the kind of faggot who explores every nook and cranny so if anything I'm probably overleveled, I'm 10 hours in (but I probably only went as far as 5 hours in because I overexplored every area and went back to craft and do other shitty sidequests a lot). I can oneshot pretty much anything using only the arrows from the scarecrow bow dudes in the beginning.

HK was way harder but it was also much tighter, if you got hit, it was definitely your fault and it was really satisfying to never get hit. This one reminds me of something similar to "Tales of" where it's pretty much impossible to never get hit, you just tank the hits and use skills to stunlock the enemies and not leave them any time to damage you instead of just being good at avoiding and recognizing patterns.

And I feel the same about the backers' portraits being in the game also.

Talk to Zangetsu after the battle to receive the Bath Towel.
Go to the Moonlight Hotsprings (where you can see the Crimson Moon in the night sky) and equip the Bath Towel and dip into the moon's reflection in the water's surface to become the Gekka Bijin.
Tsukuyomi will be angry at you for being the prettiest in the moonlight and will teleport you into another dimension.

Nothing. I like Shovel Knight, but the character has been on absolutely everything at this point, it's like asking me about my reaction to grass.

Easy to fix on PC, and if you play on anything else you deserve the söyboy portraits.

I assumed those dickfaces were some kind of backer trash. Any mod that removes all of them from the game? I hate backer "swag" shit in my games.

Does this game have secret tranny rooms or political shit in it?

> tfw when you hit enemy fairy and it screams
> tfw "Received fairy wings"

Someone should draw a simple comic where Miriam rips out their wings with a face of a amiac

Name your save file "Nightmare" when starting a new game to unlock all the difficulties. What enemy in particular do you think has unavoidable attacks at all? The only thing I can think of is a couple of early game locations where the bats are hard to spot and can get a cheap shot on you. You should reduce the minimap's opacity to near minimum if you haven't, that'll definitely help you avoid such situations.

Also, the first boss is definitely the queen of RNG patterns and will make you pull your hair out if you attempt a hard or nightmare mode run, but that's the only real bullshit part, I promise.

There's a spooky ghost room with musical boxes that can be ominously played for no real reason.

But practically speaking, no.

I can't get through the first enemy on Nightmare.

Some of the backer portraits are ugly, but that's it.

>Can't craft Rhava Bular
>Rhava Velar needs 4 Bulars

How the fuck do I craft them? I only got one cause it dropped off a Killer Barber.

I thought it was pretty clever myself since I kept exploring the underwater caves and got the shard as I was just going back and forth. It's not something that IGA usually does so it felt good figuring it out by myself.

Miram is basically the antagonist. Marching into this castle of innocent demons to harvest hundreds of rare ingredients to sate her infinite hunger.

Farm more killer barbers. It's pretty easy if you equip the accessories that increase luck & drop rates.

Just kill more Killer Barbers genius.

I wonder if the staircase to Gebel once took place outside since there's a wind sound effect in that room. Overall, I would have liked to see more rooms like pic related where you can see the outside. Makes you feel like you're actually inside a structure and not just a bunch of castle-themed rooms. The top of the church towers, for example, could have shown an outline of the roofs with the sky outside. I always liked that for some reason.

Pretty sure those are jokes. Most of those hints amount to "go to the next area, which you haven't found yet, and look for the boss which you don't yet know what it looks like, and defeat them". The only real useful hint in the game is OD's tip on how to get into the train, and it's easy to miss. In fact it should have been unmissable dialog since it's impossible to figure out on your own.

Guess I have to emulate a PSP or some shit.

You do know that Rondo natively runs on pc, right?

tfw trying to finish the map at 99.70. WHERE IS THE LAST OF IT?

So I beat the game I think. With 99.3% of the map explored.
I really loved it. It did not disappoint. It really is like a genuine third Sorrow game. Absolutely love it.

I never found any black peppers though. So my cooking questline kind of got completely stuck. Looks like there are tons of more quests where that came from too, going by the compendium. Did all other quests though.

The enemy and armor is still in league with previous Castlevanias and isn't even silly. What shouldn't be there is those fucking dog heads and backer faces.

At first I thought you were making a joke about the pc-engine.

Normally only specific weapons can use a technique. Mastery lets all weapons of the same category use them. There's a few techniques that are always weapon specific, so you can't master them.

Nothing special. Upgrading the Shard gives you:

- dagger throw
- whip attack

3 specials and 9 levels so I assume each 3 tanks you unlock new thing

Yes

>So is the game a success?
Commercially? Yes.

Playing the game, it feels like there's a lot of things that I just don't understand the mechanics to. I couldn't figure out what the stats did besides guessing at it (which I ended up being right about), I don't see a reason to not using the infinite ammo on guns because ammo doesn't seem to drop, and I still don't really get what happens to a Shard when you get multiples of it. Ranks add to the effect listed, so does getting duplicates increase its damage or is it just nothing? Why am I so dumb?

Miriam deserves Gebel's seed.

>I couldn't figure out what the stats did
What did you even mean by this, have you never played a game with RPG elements ever until now?
>I don't see a reason to not using the infinite ammo on guns because ammo doesn't seem to drop
You craft it. Though rarely some enemies do drop some.
>and I still don't really get what happens to a Shard when you get multiples of it.
Increases whatever the base effect is. For example offensive shards get increased damage, resist element shards get increased resistance, etc

I seriously thought that the ending was alluding to Miriam becoming a vampire because of all some of the abilities she gets, plus some item descriptions.

Getting duplicates enhances a shard's Grade, which helps its primary effect. Enhancing its Rank improves the secondary effect that's described on the side.
Infinite ammo is okay, but its damage is pathetic compared to real ammo. You can get proper ammo off of archer type enemies, but if you want to use the fancier stuff you'll have to craft ammo out of gunpowder and other materials. When you complete the cooking quest line you get a hat that gives infinite ammo for whichever type you use.

PC mostly but check a look at store page.
Game had 65k backers.
According to SteamSpy it sold:
> Owners: 200,000 .. 500,000
at price point of 36$

Now, let's check review data:
> All (14,166)
> Steam Purchasers (9,594)
> Other (4,572)
Only 4k backers activated their Steam keys.
10k purchases were full-price purchases.
97% rating
I think the ratio of purchases:steam reviews is like 7:1 or 10:1 so basically they have 70k-100k definite purchases but I know that SteamSpy data is often correct so they probably around 300-400k.
at 36$ per game that's great.
Game also, being a singleplayer game, manages to hold insanely high current players numbers, a-la Hollow knight.

>stats
I just didn't see an option to go over and actually confirm what they each did, so with CON and MND I just made an assumption about what they did. I was thinking CON might influence your defense beyond just your health pool and that MND would maybe increase your MP, but it turned out to be just the magic equivalent to Defense.
>ammo
So that's the main method of getting ammo? I haven't touched the crafting much besides a few weapons to try them out (and then usually not think about it because most weapons are fun but I don't feel the need to pay attention to which one I'm using).
So is it worth selling the Shards I'm not using then and just keeping it down to 1? I haven't really been selling much because I don't know what's worth keeping.

I require more evidence of cute beast beret being cute

fuck this stupid sexy vampire, i keep getting my ass kicked

yeah I've been looking at play numbers on the stats page when considering my purchases during the sale and was surprised to see Bloodstained still holding such a high count

>So is it worth selling the Shards I'm not using then and just keeping it down to 1? I haven't really been selling much because I don't know what's worth keeping.
In the early game I'd say it's worth it for shards that are easy to farm like bats or whatever.
Later it's much more efficient to sell metals and wood though. I think.

Oishii~ is better and cuter than your shitty SCRUMPTIOUS you double faggot..

I was thinking of getting the Steam version of the game, but since I already had a Switch copy that was sent to arrive in the mail I figured I should at least give it a chance before going for the Steam version.
Granted that it got stuck at my local post office, because my post office fucking sucks. Which has nothing to do with fangamer or the kickstarter, but I didn't get the game until this last Thursday.

But from what I have been reading maybe that was for the best?
I've heard people absolutely slam the Switch version for performance issues, but outside of the rotating towers I experienced 0 issues. And sometimes there was magically no issues even at the towers, though at other times it was admittedly chugging as all hell.
I am really satisfied with the Switch version though. I was afraid that it would fucking suck and chug all around from what I have read, but it was really only that one area and it wasn't even as bad as I expected. Don't think I'll need to get the Steam version unless a good amount of cool mods pile up.

Perhaps the performance is worse in handheld mode? Never played it much handheld.

The graphics have clear downgrades and it runs at half the framerate, those are the things that are riling people up.

PR said that sales are way way higher than they predicted.
>Sales blew predictions out of the water
So it's safe to say it did well.

I feel like such a fucking idiot for not realizing that I could use the grab hand shard on the Iron Maidens.
Though in my defence I had convinced myself that I had already tried it to no avail once. No idea if I actually tried it and messed it up somehow, or if that was just some weird dream of mine that never even happened.

Took me like forever to find the Oriental part of the castle.

>The graphics have clear downgrades and it runs at half the framerate
But they're stable outside of the aforementioned exception. And the visuals aren't that badly downgraded from what I can tell, with few exceptions. It runs pretty well. I am happy I chose the Switch version considering all the previous games were handheld, but prior to actually playing the game I became really worried that I had made a mistake but it turned out to not be a big deal at all.

That delay on the release really sucked though. I have probably missed all the most interesting threads because of that.

me too

tfw didn't find the aegis plate and had to brute force that section, only to find out there's a second row of spikes that I had to clear, along with an iron maiden in it. That was when I figured I was so far into the game I HAD to have the tool to deal with iron maidens, and tried to give it a hand job

OI GOVNA FANCY A CUPPA? I'M KNACKERED!

I can see that happening if you're trying to be a bit too cautious when using the hand. If you're too far away it might not grab, but if you move too close it grabs you and does a ton of damage. It doesn't help that there's barely any situations where you use the hand, even with normal objects.

Whats the difference between shard's rank and grade?
Like what kind of upgrade do I get from increasing either or?

There's an Iron Maiden before the first row of spikes though

If you get an enemy to get pushed into it, it disables it too.

There are no enemies in that room

I'm a bit sad knowing that za warudo doesn't work on bosses. I mean, I get why they did it but it's from an optional super boss.

I think the fastest Castlevania related speedrun was 13 seconds long in one of the GBA games.

finding out about this saved me so much time. especially when I found out that you can stack the blood grinder knight and the gieremund right next to the entrance warp for double mastery (provided the attack pierces or is big enough to hit them both, but most of them do)

One of the finest speedruns there is

>I feel like such a fucking idiot for not realizing that I could use the grab hand shard on the Iron Maidens.

The white outline is exactly the same as the other shit that you can grab with craftwork. If you can't figure that shit out, you'll never be able to figure the other, more subtle shit by your own.

Joke would work if that wasnt a NG+ run

>Took me like forever to find the Oriental part of the castle.

I played enough metroidvanias to know that I'd need an item to break the spikes.

Turns out I never found such an item and just powered through the fucking thing through with food and healing items.

Never felt so stupid after getting around an obstacle.

I thought it should have worked, which is why I thought it was one of the very first things I tried after getting the hand.
As stated I have no clue whatsoever as to why I didn't immediately succeed, but yeah.

Holy fuck, her Japanese voice is awful

Boy I would love another Classicvania for Bloodstained, Curse of the Moon was really good.

Any clues as to what the timers are? Red might be your played, but whats the 99:59:59 one?

He wanted to see if they would fuck. Decided to fuck off when they didnt.

Why is it that 95% of the weapons suck? I haven't found anything better then that quick attack wind sword and the flying sword since I started and I'm 4 hours in now.

Same thing with the enemy souls, I'm still using the same 3-4 and everything else is weak or dumb to use.

probably the speedrun mode timer. haven't finished that so it shows the maximum value.

you make her aim it high then drop and duck, it doesn't track you if you start out above it

Because you suck at using anything but the most braindead options.

Are techniques even useful? Regular weapon attacks + shard attacks murder everything in 2-3 hits tops anyway.

So the majority of people don't catch this, but a big part of SYMPHONY of the Night is by the end of it you've learned an instrument, i hope to god noone beat that game just by walking around. As an example, some people learn ghe rhyrhm required to backdash into crouch endlessly and glide through the rooms, others put on the boreal shoes, divekick into low attack into backdash in a continium to glide through the castle at max speed, no harder than learning piano notes. The most effective combat maneuver is an air attack, into a standing attack, into a backdash attack, this input in combination with spacing yourself feels just like bending quitar strings. And the song gets more complicated with spells and specials, since the all cancel into eachother

There is a large myriad of different inputs and effects in this game, and as you replay areas you get more fluent in how to accomplish things, eventually to the point thay you recall every note. The gsme requires you to really circle through the castle searching and if your a bitch who just goes online you wont be propey leveled for the next area.

The game is a lot more stressfull than shallow knight, there is a horrow theme to the game, and they had to give you access to potions so you can keep yourself as calm as you need
But if your going to tell me the combat is bad in a game with fighting game specails and a list of the majority of old enemies, I'm going to assume you just havent found your collection shards/equipment/techniques

Why would I even want to use anything else? The game gives me the best weapons literally off the bat. Everything else after does less damage or has such a poor attack stance that even with more damage it's awful. Just got the steam great sword, massive damage but by the time the attack is over I've already hit 6 times with a faster weapon and killed the enemy.

What a reach.

I had more use for some techniques on Nightmare mode but I still only ever used some of the katana techniques and later auto-fire for guns.

>or has such a poor attack stance that even with more damage it's awful

You can still dimension shift when he uses his power

Flying Kick is a really good evasive move for bosses, you can't be hurt by projectiles while using it.

Why were you using techniques? They cost mana too, do they out damage shard spells by a lot? I tried using them but I'm terrible at street fighter-like comboing to make it work.

Sure, why backdash when my enemy is dead? Literally everything dies before I get hit unless it's a boss.

>Why would I even want to use anything else?
For fun

that sucks I was hoping for sikrit
oh well

Normal bullets do shit damage, you sre constantly getting capacity upgrades and once you'e crafted an alternate bullet type with te hundreds of gunpowders you've picked up you can purchase it.

Its allso really fun to make builds around the different types

Even the Spiral Sword is better than those weapons you listed.

ELDEN RING

Literally in old SOTN artbooks you shitheel

>Yes
So I did good in never bothering with any of them? Thought so.

That's a fair point, I was hoping for more interesting weapons. I'm really digging whips but they're bad vs what I have right now. Guns are fun and simple and spears are ok too. It's just the game gives you so many options that are awful from the get go. You could trim 50% of the game's weapons off and still have a good rooster of everything available.

Alright sure, but I don't have that weapon yet.

>Alright sure, but I don't have that weapon yet.
One of the very first enemies drops it. It's an early game weapon.

>I'm really digging whips but they're bad vs what I have right now.
What whip do you have and what are you using that's better than it

Not really some of them are fun

What is the weapon type you have used the least in the entire game so far? I think I never once used daggers after the very start of the game. I even used shoes more often because those aerial moves can allow you to make big jumps early on.

Is no one going to address Johannes' fucking ridiculous hobble walk

Attached: 75427797_p0.jpg (2550x3300, 1.62M)

Thorn whip and flame whip, I'm using the Rhava Búral and Flying Sword, literally just killed the boss that gives the light reflection travel move.

I used the counter move that katanas have to just block many boss attacks. Makes you feel pretty stylish.

They're some of the coolest/best weapons

In the boat? I'l try and find it then, I'm curious at how an early game great sword can be good.

Weapons come with unique moves that can be transfered to other weapons of the same class if mastered, so you can train all of the Katanas so when you get Zengetsu's sword its a fucking beast.

Your expected to retread old areas and enjoy the gameplay as a whole, changing to other weapon types and trying odd ones is part of the fun. I couldnt use guns till I went backwards. Some have other additions, like the boreal shoes giving you some of the fastest movement in the game, goku's powerpole letting you dump all your mp at once for a huge blast ect

Wonder if the speedrunning strats are still possible with the ice shoes

The 8 bit pistol is actually the strongest gun in the game. The weapons that can turn stuff to stone are also really good on Nightmare mode early on.

Daily reminder that you're a complete bitch and haven't really completed the game unless you did every boss without taking damage.

Holy shit the Zang2 fight on first save Nightmare is too easy. It basically become Miriam uses a 19 bullets poison gun and told Zangetsu swords are gay

Here's Flame Whip vs Bural dealing 100 damage
Not much difference, wouldn't call it awful. Whip's technique also reaches twice as far and deals twice as much damage, if you want to throw some of those in there. Though shards are a better use of mana

What's the best way to grind money? Need 500k

Augment Gold Shard ranked to 9 and equipped, find a room with multiple lamps and accelerator through it back and forth

I fought him underleveled with nothing but a shit rheva bural and the occassional bunnymorphosis, DID NOT have high jump because I was retarded and never looked in the craft menu until I googled it later.

It was on normal, and getting his medal legit took me until 4 am, I was shouting at the screen and everything, too.

Fucking amazing.

Went through the whole game only using whips+swords+katanas and the dagger at the start I'm boring.

Thanks man

I want to be femdommed by that so bad

Are there alternative costumes in this game? I've seen videos where she's dressed as one of those Lilli enemies, but are there more costumes?

Isn't it annoying that the only way to use any weapons reliably is to jump every time you attack.

The only "costume" is just a reskin of the default by copy-pasting the breastplate onto both sides.
They also had the audacity to call it the "valkyrie" armor so they never have to make one for the poll.

Only what said, maybe there will be more shit in the sequel.

that's how game mechanics skill comes to life

They could have simply made attacks have a good speed other then turtle crawl slowness. It's like an extra unnecessary step

>Not airattack, cancel into ground attack, cancel into backdash attack, cancel into jump repeat for max damage

All for not

Not to me, that's how I've been playing these games ever since Symphony of the Night. Feels more engaging than just tapping one button forever, you need to know a rhythm, and in this game you can add in even more.

> only jump
not true, you can do this:
jump -> attack -> landing cancels cooldown -> attack -> backdash to cancel cooldown -> attack
repeat

Pointless without attack speed buffs. Whip attacks have slow startup speed, you attack as you hit the ground on low jumps, it's the most efficient way to attack while retaining some mobility during the windup motion. Not to mention whip attacks have wonky hitboxes so you absolutely want to make sure you are hitting with the tip at the correct angle.

sword has as much, you can block, do low strike, etc

Perfrect, you can add one additional whip in there but thats good rhythm

What do you faggots want from the sequel? Personally I want them TO FIX THE FUCKING HITBOXES

>you can add one additional whip in there
No you can't.

Sorry to come back, but do you have a recommendation as to what room is best for this?

I want them to hire Frozenbyte or go 2D

Not really. Like with Richter, the novelty of playing as Maria wears off in five minutes.

You can do even worse. All on a fresh file.

yeah friend

Those are being saved for Volume 2.

>eat all food

You literally end with 995 HP on nightmare but you wouldn't know obviously.

So what the point of playing on Nightmare then?

Lel that phase changing. Sealed his fate

You're a star, thanks mate.

The early parts are harder. But being at lvl 1 means less and less as you progress through the game. There is basically no difference at the end of the game besides your HP not being over 1000 and your attack being slightly lower.

Thinking she won't use them herself on Dominique's "suggestion".

PS3 era graphics would be nice. Also give me some kind of balls to the wall hard post game procedural dungeon to use my OP endgame gear without guilt. Also give me more secret shit that requires exploration and experimentation beyond hitting walls, it's kind of a letdown how easy it was to 100% such a huge game. I don't know man, give me a random enemy enemy that you can talk to with some random item equipped, or an area that spawns some shit on sundays. The classic igavania stuff.

just a little bit more

So I levelled up my sword familliar to 50 and I wasn't able to equip the Bloodbringer sword.
So I farmed the necessary materials and ranked him up to 9. Still can't equip the Bloodbringer sword.
Do I need it to be grade 9 or something?

This familiar really sucks ass. I could have been running with the cute fairy or the based book or something, and instead I stuck with this awful and shitty little sword fucker in hopes of being able to equip him after he reached level 50.

>Augment Gold Shard ranked to 9
How farm "Gold" to rank up Augment Gold?

You have to unequip the familiar shard first, or I think there's an exploit if you set it on a shortcut

So did Dominique eat all the shards I sold her?

Attached: 1448647482943.png (946x1053, 964K)

Thats what it implies, but the result is the same even if you never sold her any.

Farm the staves that the underwater horsies drop and use alkahest to break them down

I'm asking you.
What the point of bragging about your difficulty if you made it no different than normal?
You wanted to talk down to me but got told.

Shoved right into her body

>- whip attack
Bunnymorph can whip??

>99.80%
>no idea where the other .20% is
fuck

They should have changed it depending on if you sold her shards or not.

It's the last boss battle room.

google full map or post yours

Wait do I need to upgrade it's grade too? I'm doing exactly this but getting 100g a pass

Why don't you play on nightmare yourself and find out?

A better outfit for miriam

Your face when you first saw this guy?

Attached: 1562518739377.jpg (416x284, 34K)

why do I have to have some special face

It's always the Sorcery lab cat room or the Santa hat room.

Is killing those red fuckers in the sand area the best way to farm alkahest?

Probably. Craft 8 more and see if thats it. Could also be your luck stat

I have the sorcery lab room I think, where's the santa hat room?

It doesn't change her stats or moveset? Lame.

Poor Iga, taken away from a series he loved and respected. The best he could do for it was let the characters rest in peace in another universe.

Bruh we still have dlc to get thru including 3 new characters

Are all red shards shit?
Always felt like a waste of MP in comparison to using purple shards or weapon techniques.

Going down from the room with the tracking eye portrait in the cathedral, hit the floor in the next room until it breaks. But really, just compare your map to the full one and find the room you are missing yourself.

Will he ever be able to make the Julius 1999 game some day

Found it already. It was this room and the one behind the breakable wall in weebland, after the teleports. Got the cheevo.

Johannes gets to fuck this. But she'll be thinking of Gebel.

Johannes is her beta orbiter, pls
