I can't believe I missed how off Keith could be. He says so many stranger danger things, but with all the strange monsters popping up worldwide and loving Meiyuan leering around the castle gates, especially near a town where Kevin the creeper could be hiding under someone's bed, he doesn't pop up on anyone's radar. Then again, Leonard for all his faults was the one decent person in all of Drakengard. So maybe it is all just a misunderstanding. Though in that one section where he's asked about vampire stereotypes, he didn't deny sucking blood. Good thing there's plenty of hosed up monsters to kill. The Dark Id posted:It's the guard dog/wolf of Hel (the location) owned by Hel (the dude.) He's basically Fenrir much less popular cousin or Norse mythology's equivalent of Cerberus. 1. In addition, the mythological Hel is a woman. 3. Also, there should be a question mark at the end of that parentheses sentence. 4. Should be an "of" between "style" and "just." 7. I'm not entirely sure but maybe "an" here can be omitted and it would sound better? Shitenshi fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Sep 24, 2018 |

I'm just so happy that TDI's gotten to Keith. I always liked him. To this day, one of the three or four clearest memories I have of the first Shadow Hearts is the weird animation of Keith 'standing up' after being knocked down by an enemy.

I remember being surprised at the changes to vampire rules over the years when I got around to reading Dracula sometime after college. In there it's garlic flowers, specifically, rather than the root bulbs you always see (except the time they chop off one's head and stuff its mouth with garlic). Crosses probably would have worked and burned on contact, but they used sacramental wafers more often than crosses. Sunlight was just a power drain. Dracula runs around in mid day at one point and he's fine, he just can't use any powers. Turning into mist and being able to go through unsealed cracks in doors and windows was also new to me.

I was wondering when we were going to get a new companion and I do like that it turns out to be a slightly bored vampire who is worried about his ancestors coming back life to kick his rear end if he does anything stupid.

We go to the most vampire castle ever, find the master of the castle and he is the most stereotypical vampire ever... and he's an alright dude, he's quite vexed at the random encounter infestation and checking on the trespassers while invisible is just common sense. Upon being informed that the village is under attack, he immediately agrees to help them out because helping your good neighbors is what you're supposed to do. The Valentine family is simply too good for this sinful world.

Keith is actually joining up because he's obsessed with counting and that Pedometer was just calling out to him.

Really, Dracula has a lot of surprises in it. Like Dracula's plans are him trying to think of ways around the classic vampire weaknesses. People know how to fight vampires? Move someplace where they don't. Vampires can be trapped in their lair with nowhere to run? Bring enough coffins and earth to make 50 different hideouts. Good luck finding him then. Of course the most ludicrous thing in that book was Arthur carrying rat terriers with him just in case Dracula sics an army of rats on them. Which he does.

'Vampires' are an amalgam of multiple legends and superstitions, since 'blood sucking undead' was a common enough belief. Which is why you have the range and breadth of vampire facts.

Torpor the mornin' to you too, Keith. My favourite character in the game, I love that he just hums nonchalantly while (I'm assuming) summoning his familiars to do his bidding. They're probably excited to be called on to do something other than light the castle torches and dust the throne.

Episode XV: The Transformation Short Straw Music: Atmosphere - Blow Up .jpg) Back at it again at Bistritz! It is still the same chapter. We're not moving on until this curse is lifted, dammit! Music: Dirty Nails .jpg) Yep... Still cursed. Although, it seems you're perfectly fine as long as you don't open your doors when there's a red fog at night. The birdmen have yet to master doorknob tech and those ridiculous dogs don't even know what they're doing with hands in general. Still, we do know a recent widow and her child who haven't figured out that detail and just let anyone barge in at all hours of the night to keep the shop running. .jpg) Case in point, Mayor Sex Pest dashed straight over to the Do Re Mi Shop as soon as Alice and Zhuzhen left town. That's not suspicious or anything. We should... probably head over there straight away. Music: Angel Heart .jpg)  <looks around> Nina? Hello-o-o?! Anybody home?! … I have been out of the loop for a time. This should seem concerning, yes? YEP! <concerned grunt> MHM!Nina runs out from behind a table. .jpg) Nina! What’s wrong?! What happened?! My mom! It’s my mom! What happened to your mom? Calm down, now. Talk to me. A little while ago…Like she said, a little while ago... .jpg) The door opens and Mayor Kevin wanders back into the shop. .jpg)  Hello there. …Anything I can help you with? I'm afraid we're closed for the evening. It is... nearly 1:00 AM. Yet the lights are on and you two are still awake. My husband, her father, just died... That's nice.Kevin looks around and starts browsing a shelf. .jpg) Do you have any Phoenix Tails...? Ah. There we are. Splendid. Lovely aroma. Phoenix Tails don't have any smell to them.Kevin nonchalantly walks to the other side of the room and starts browsing the stock there. .jpg) Ahh... I see you have a Holy Mother Bust in stock. I don't mind if I do... Kevin!  I haven’t seen the exorcists around. Do you know where they went?  Exorcists? …Oh, you mean those two. I have no idea where they went. They likely found somewhere to sleep for the night. Like you should go do. Now. You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you? Hiding something?! What are you talking about?! I think it’s time you left. Kevin leaves the shelves and starts pacing around the room. .jpg) <shrugs and shakes head> Just when my research was ready to pay off, he had to go and pull a trick like that!  Wh-what on earth are you talking about…!? Don’t you know about the research I’ve been doing? You mean digging for gold, right…? Officially, yes. But actually, I’ve been looking into the life of vampires. ...To research for writing a book, or...?.jpg) A vampire?! Hah hah, there’s no need to be so scared. Your father was helping me with my research, you know. I was researching vampires to crack the Blue Castle mystery and get the treasure hidden there. How would researching vampires help in stealing treasure? Surely, there must be some vampire trick or secret at play hiding their vault of treasures. Had you found this vault in the castle? Well, no... The project had not progressed to field research into Blue Castle itself, per se... But it's obvious when we reached that point, vampire lore would be required. <shrugs and shakes head> But the moment Terry got word of that job in America, he lost all interest in the research. A "better life for his family"?! What rubbish... Vampire treasure was right within my grasp! I'd have thrown him a severance bonus that would allow him to live like a KING... of the peasants living in squalor. But still, better than your current lot! So… those monsters attacking the town… Heh heh heh. In our research, we happened to discover a way to summon monsters! The monsters that have been attacking the village lately are all monsters that we summoned! But then Terry panicked and went all the way to Prague to find some exorcists. So what if seven or eight of the peasants got devoured in the streets at night? What were they even doing out at that hour!? The village can be walked end-to-end in three minutes! That gutless wretch Terry got cold feet after the death toll reached the double digits. ... I don't know what he worried about. It was affecting my chances of re-election more than anything! *I* was the one putting myself at risk more than anything, if you think about it. But he had to run off and seek help... <shrugs and shakes head> It was a foolish thing to do. If he’d only listened to me, he’d never have had to die. <steps forward> You’re… controlling the monsters! Monsters are extremely obedient to the summoner. They’re much more pliable that way than humans. A-and you also… <shrugs and shakes head> I couldn’t afford to let word about the powers I’d discovered get out. It would have ruined me. A bit disappointed my minions allowed him to complete a 1000+ kilometer journey before striking him down. But, such is the way with hired help. Now, I want you to hand over what Terry’s friend in America sent him. It was some gold dust, right? Once that’s in my possession, I can depart this stupid village. Gold dust? I don’t know anything about that… Even if I did... gold dust? How much could that possibly be worth? <sighs> To be frank, the research project went wildly over budget. But it did so on the Bistritz town treasury dime. It is time to just cut my losses and head to a new venture. ...OK. I still don't know what you're talking about. <shakes head> Still playing dumb? I was going to spare your life if you handed it over, but you force my hand! <stomps foot> Go away!! I won’t let you have what Dad gave me! The mayor approaches Nina. .jpg) Excellent! Now be a good girl and hand it over! … Hrumpf! Why so stubborn? Well, in that case, take this!! Kevin goes to backhand Nina. Michelle rushes in front of her to stop him. .jpg) AAAHHHH!! Nina!.jpg) NIIIIIINNAAAAAA!!Back in the present... .jpg) <shakes in anger and swings at the air> That son-of-a-bitch! He’s finally shown his true colors! And raising his hand against a child?! It’s unforgivable! I knew that man and his mustache was a dirtbag. <steps forward> Are you all right, Nina? That must have been terrifying. Oh! You’re-- I promise I will rescue your mother, so try to keep a stiff upper lip, okay? What a fool the mayor is! There’s no treasure hidden in the castle. Let’s get our rear ends over to the mayor’s house, then. It's time to elect a new mayor. No. ...No? This town is on my land. It's time to serve an eviction notice. Ohh! That's good, kid. You are aware I am hundreds of years old, yes? Yeah, when you stop looking like you're about twenty-five, I'll stop calling you kid. Guys, we should PROBABLY go stop this guy now. Wait!!Nina digs something up from behind a nearby sack and hands it to Alice. New Music: Don't Cry My Vampire (It's no Bloody Tears.) .jpg) Dad gave it to me. Kevin told me to bring it to him. <points to package> What’s this? There’s a letter attached. “Dear Terry. This is to wish you and your family happiness and wealth everlasting…” "If anyone from the old country comes to town asking if you heard from me, deny you have made contact. Please burn this letter after reading it." ... This is from your father’s friend, right? I wonder what’s in the bag. Do you suppose it really does contain gold dust? Here, let me take a look. <examines the package and nods> Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle! <nods> I see… Thank you for sharing it with us, Nina. This is yours to keep. What a wonderful treasure you’ve got. You can bet that’s going to be a whole lot more use to you, Nina, than to that rotten old mayor. Be sure to take good care of it. <nods>The party leaves the shop. Music: Dirty Nails .jpg) OK. Our new objective is to go storm the mayor's house on the other side of town and go kick his rear end. .jpg) .jpg) The same trash mobs of enemies are hanging out in the streets as our first visit. They're even easier now that we have Keith in the party. The only reason I mentioned this here is that Keith reached Level 25 along the way and learned the Blood Sucker Ritual along the way. We'll not be getting much use out of that at the moment. But there you have it for future reference. .jpg) .jpg) Before we sort out the nefarious Kevin, we'll take a quick pit-stop at the Chickenheart Weapon Shop next door and purchase a weapon upgrade for Keith. .jpg) There's nothing like a good estoc. Keith must be rolling a Dex build. The Royal Estoc grants +6 Physical Attack though -1 Special Attack versus his starting Antique Rapier. Not a huge boost overall. But the guy has been in the party for all of fifteen minutes. We'll take what we can get. .jpg) In any case, let's kick open the mayor's door and wax this creep. .jpg) Nina told us everything! We’re here to take Michelle back. <shrugs and shakes head> So you actually came back. I figured you’d slunk out of town with your tails between your legs. We only arrived a few hours ago and we'd have had to walk by your house to leave town. Pah! Details. If you’re here in place of Nina with the gold dust, then hurry up and hand it over!! Put a sock in it! What made you think it’d be some piffling gold dust anyway? Even if it were gold, who would send a package full of gold DUST?! What else could be valuable and in a sack!? Narcotics? ... ...I could still make that work. Shut up and hand whatever it is over! The only thing you’re going to get from us is a hundred knocks on the head. Is that right? So you don’t care what happens to Michelle here? Well, it’s gonna be too late for regrets when she dies because of you! There's three of us, kid. You don't have the upper hand here. Hah! Oh, don't I? Psst. You still owe me 50 Cash if he transforms. Hush! He's not done anything yet.Keith steps forward. .jpg) I’ll kill you if you lay so much as a finger on that woman. A new addition to your party? Well, more food for my loyal servants. This is my village! You have no right to come here and tell me how I should be doing things! Democracy has spoken and that means I'm allowed to summon monsters, loot all the wealth and have my way with this woman. The definition of that word seems like it's changed a bit since I was last awake... <shakes head and waves dismissively> You don’t know about me, do you? I’m your master, you know. I’ll show you the true power of a vampire. What? A vampire?! <laughs> That’s right! He’s the guy you’ve been looking for. <swipes the air> You can’t trick me! Why are you all so eager to die? I’ll devour you with my new body! <side-eyes Zhuzhen> <sigh> I'll get my wallet after this....jpg) Music: NDE - Near Death Experience BEHOLD AND QUAKE IN FEAR AT THE EVOLUTION OF MAYOR KEVIN! .jpg) ... ...... BWAHAHAHAHA!! What the gently caress is this, Kevin? What did you do to yourself? Did you turn into a skinless rotting hellhound? THAT is the fruit of months of experimentation and research into vampirism and occult arts? That is your new body? Its fuckin' eye is hanging out of the socket! It's missing most of its teeth! There are literally undead dogs resurrected by viral magic that are less decayed than your current state. I hope your pain receptors stopped functioning when you transformed because I cannot imagine having 100% of your body is an open bleeding wound is very comfortable. For that matter, can he transform back? Or is he just a giant month-dead dog that got dug up from someone's backyard from now on? I don't think you'll be able to run for mayor or convert gold dust into whatever unimpressive sum that would yield at... whoever handles a handful of gold dust to appraise. Just a hunch. .jpg) Anyway, Kevin's glorious new final form has rebranded to Tindalos. I guess he's a Fire elemental. Too bad we literally have no way to capitalize on that knowledge in this fight. He's also packing 2000 HP, which is surprising considering it looks like it's about to collapse into a pile of bio-slime and viscera at any moment. The name Tindalos seems to come from The Hounds of Tindalos, a 1929 short story written by Frank Belknap Long and part of the greater Cthulhu Mythos universe. Wikipedia on The Hounds of Tindalos posted:
.jpg) .jpg) Tindalos' most dangerous attack is Deathtouch. Despite the name, it only takes off 75% of the target's HP. Still, that's enough for a follow-up attack to take out Zhuzhen or Alice if they don't get that bite sorted out straight away. As such, Alice is fully on healing duty during this battle -- at least for herself and Zhuzhen. If Keith takes any damage, he can top himself off with Drain Touch. .jpg) .jpg) Kevin also has a full party attack with Flame Breath, which will hit Alice and Keith for around 60 HP but Zhuzhen, our resident Fire elemental unit, gets by with only 40-45 HP of damage. .jpg) Other than that, the transformed mayor just kind of gnaws on folks for around 50-75 of damage depending on how many nibbles he decides to take in a row. Honestly, the biggest thing dingus monster has going for him is a sizable amount of HP and a party with a less than optimal amount of damage output. .jpg) .jpg) Zhuzhen is at least a weirdo and has some special skills that fall outside his elemental affinity. Corpse Arm does Earth damage for... some reason. That's not really optimal, but it's better than Ogre Flamedance or being stuck with Fire elemental attacks in general. Indeed, this is the heaviest hitting attack we've got doing around 175-200 HP of damage a turn. The only downside is it drains quite a bit (55 MP) with each use so we'll eventually need to top off Zhuzhen's MP to keep up the onslaught of summoning the undead. .jpg) .jpg) Meanwhile, the true power of a vampire is best manifested by just continuously summoning swarms of bats to bite the poo poo out of enemies. Mayor Kevin certainly isn't a fan as it does 130-150 HP of damage with each swarm. Bat Dance is some cheap at only 33 MP but Keith comes with significantly less MP than Zhuzhen or Alice, so we still need to keep an eye on that. Additionally, we need to make sure Alice doesn't go Berserk from loss of SP if the fight goes over eight turns and it likely will. .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) That's about all there is to say about this, the least impressive monster transformation we're likely to see in the entire game. Not the most absurd, mind you. That's the reserved for the guy who transforms into a skinless pregnant woman. Either way, I feel like the weirdest part is the rotting hellhound drops a pair of clogs upon death. Music: Coffee With Bullet .jpg) BARF! <dies>Kevin's body fades away as Nina runs into the room and up to her likely very confused mother. .jpg) Mom! I’m so glad to see you two back together. Thanks, Alice!! You’re welcome. Let’s go home. I took a pretty big blow to the head... Was... there some sort of zombie wolf in here? I would have described it as more of a putrefied undead hound.  I wouldn't worry about that. Let's get you two home. The town might need to find a new mayor, though.Sometime later, back at Michelle and Nina's shop... .jpg) Thank you so much. I don’t know how to thank you. No need to thank us, lady. We were just keeping our promise to your husband. Unfortunately, we never talked payment numbers before the... incident, so... <elbows Zhuzhen in the arm> Ow! Ergh... I mean... I guess this one is on the house. <hands Alice something>Alice, I want you to have one of my treasures. <nods> Wow, thank you. ... You know what? I want you and your mom to keep this. Yeah. The wheat seeds in the bag will grow, even in a cold place like this. The seeds have been cross-bred. They’ll grow and bring happiness to this village. Seeds of happiness… I don't know why that idiot mayor thought there would be gold... dust... in there? What happened to the nasty mayor anyway? Oh... he... Umm... He got sent to a nice farm upstate. He's mayor there now. I hope he stays there for good! Oh, I can promise he'll certainly stay six feet under there. Don't fret about that jerk. You just take care of those seeds, kid. Sow the seeds with your mom, okay? You let me know if anything scary happens again. <nods> Yes, that’s right. Goodbye, Michelle.The trio leaves the shop. .jpg) We did kind of rush out of the mayor's joint after murdering him, huh? We'll run back there to investigate further in a minute. First, now that the curse of Bistritz is broken we want to go speak with one of the locals. Particularly, we want to chat with Hunter Warda across the street again. .jpg)  Now that the monsters are gone, I can go hunting tomorrow. <becomes Lottery Member No. 07> Hey, if you've got a Ticket to play, what can I do? Through the door may be kind of a pain, but... I thought you were going hunting? That's tomorrow! The lottery is now! ... So whaddya wanna do? Count me in..jpg) This Lottery's Judgment Ring spins fast as hell and that's an awfully tiny window for the Red Hit Area. Hell if I ever got more than a couple of the top prizes playing through this game originally. It's still taking me 6+ tries using goddamn save states to instantly retry. .jpg) That's really weird a hermit Taoist master from eastern China would have a pair of earrings end up in a lottery bid in some Podunk town in the rear end end of Romania. But here we are... Much like the previous Berserk Earrings, the description is just outright wrong again. This raises MP by 20% and has nothing to do with any kind of mystical strength augmentation. These are probably best used on Zhuzhen since all of his low-end spells have fallen off on usefulness and the higher end ones are taking quite a chunk out of his mana pool. .jpg) Anyway, let's shuffle on into that shed and see if there's anything interesting to be found. .jpg) No, I just wanted to talk to you about something. What is it? I know now that you are both skilled exorcists. Here is the thing. I’d like you to exorcise a demon out of my castle. Ha ha ha! That’s funny! Even a vampire like you is scared of something? <looks down and scoffs> Of course… He flew in from someplace and started living in my castle. I can’t even sleep at night. I don’t want to fight this one by myself. He looks human, but he transforms into a monster.Music: ICARO - Beated Version .jpg) That must be… ?! Well, let’s not get too excited before we’re certain. What’s wrong? Keith, would you please take us there? Sure. So you’ll do it? Yeah. If the demon you’re talking about is the guy we’ve been looking for, our work has paid off. By chance did he have an affinity for punching anything when you saw him? A few of those ill-named Gremlin bats tried to harass him when he arrived. He seemed to punch them all into pulp. It was a very strange behavior. I backed off after that. ...OK. Maybe it's him... Let us head back to my castle, then. Please don’t forget to prepare for battle. Many strong monsters live on the top levels of the tower!Music: Coffee With Bullet .jpg) There's nothing of much interest in Kevin's ghetto excuse for a lab. He's got a bunch of old fables on vampires, some cloves of garlic and a crappy plastic cross. It's like his entire experimentation was limited to trash he could find at a thrift store. .jpg) But we might have a lead on the wayward Yuri. So back to the Blue Castle we go! With the departure from the no longer cursed Bistritz, so too ends this chapter. Tune in next time as for Chapter 13: Blue Castle Dark! Maybe the upper levels are painted blue or something.   That's the end of another chapter and we've got a pretty decent spread of new characters and monsters to cover considering we visited two locations. MONSTER: .jpg) Look, I could overlook a mailman eating one... MAYBE two dogs. But ALL of the dogs in town? That's just decadent. .jpg) What kind of scandalous situation did that police dog find itself in where it had no recourse but to eat a cop and its mom!? .jpg) Pfft... Hahahahaa! Fuckin' Kevin... .jpg) Now there is a respectable undead dog. Take notes, Kev. .jpg) Decidedly in no way, shape or form a gremlin. .jpg) The afterlife takes it's K/D ratio VERY seriously. NPC: .jpg) I guess now we see why she settled for Terry. .jpg) Look, Nina. Just because one guy kidnapped your mom and turned into a gorehound doesn't mean every guy is going to do the same. .jpg) Here lies Kevin. He never scored. He also turned into a rotting dog.

The Kevin fight sucks because there's nothing interesting about it, but he has so many HP that you're just going to be at it for a while.

I really appreciate the douchey little mustache they gave Kevin.

So why is the science-magic wheat such a big deal that the American didn't want anyone to know

“He looks human, but he transforms into a monster” could describe literally every person they’ve come into conflict with. For all we know, Alice, Zhuzhen, and Marguerite might be the only people in this world who don’t hulk out when provoked. But oh no, must be Yuri.

Wait, Nina punches out anyone who tries to date her mother? Like, knocks unconcious? This little squirt?

I just love the monster description for Mailman. Why couldn't we have had to deal with that guy instead of Kevin? At least he would have been entertainingly insane.

I had honestly forgotten that Yuri was squatting at the Valentines'. A friendly vampire hiring some exorcists to evict a monster from his castle is 100% Shadow Hearts.

Kevin reminds me of Shin Godzilla in his early state.

This particular friendly vampire is way too normal for that. We won't get to the weirdness that best defines the series until the next game.

Kevin makes loving Dehuai, a man who would have the other half of his body blown off by an eldritch abomination he summoned had he survived his final encounter and made weird rear end dick demons, look like a Machiavellian chessmaster. The Dark Id posted:There are literally undead dogs resurrected by viral magic that is less decayed than your current state. 1. Should be "are." 2. Did you mean to say, "mouthed," here? Also, there are still some issues that I pointed out earlier remaining in the last update. If I'm getting annoying here, just let me know and I'll stop.

Shitenshi posted:2. Did you mean to say, "mouthed," here? It probably is actually month dead. As in dead for a month. It could probably do with a hyphen between the two words to make it a little clearer, though.

quote:Bat Dance is some cheap at only 33 MP but Keith comes with significantly less MP than Zhuzhen or Alice, so we still need to keep an eye on that. Doesn't quite parse right. Did you mean "somewhat cheap?"
