ItBreathes posted:Didn't you have to get a lucky drop from a super enemy in the super colosseum to even get Black Dog to begin with (or play mage)? Yep. Black Dog was one of the worst (due to the insane difficulty of the area you had to go), but most of the spell cards were a pain to get in that game. I spent three hours trying to get one of them.

The card system was fine. Gaining so many of the cards via a sub <1% drop rate from random enemies was the problem.

Commander Keene posted:Shields provide a passive defense bonus even when you're not holding them up, and when held will block many projectiles. They won't block normal melee attacks and some larger projectiles, though, and their blocking is limited to their own hitbox, so things can go above or below the shield and still hit you. That said, I usually have a weapon in each hand for adventuring sections, and switch to a shield in one hand for enemies with projectiles and/or hard-hitting bosses. Of course, the same person insisting that shields are worthless is also claiming that most of the subweapons are useless, which is just as wrong.

Pierzak posted:Wait, really? I could swear it was the same thing as on PS1. It has been fully retranslated, with the intent of being more faithful to the Japanese original script. For example, the intro reads: quote:Richter: Dracula. Die now, and leave this world! You'll never belong here! Instead of the more familiar version quote:Richter: Die monster. You don't belong in this world! It also includes two familiars originally left out of the game, as well as the option of Japanese audio.

There's another nice thing about it. I have no idea how you're supposed to figure out weapon spells, but the Holy Rod has one of the easiest to trigger by accident.

Bruceski posted:Time Stop is great until you encounter anything you actually want to use it on. Exactly. This is what makes it the only bad subweapon in the game. Everything else is extremely useful, but the Time Stop is only good against enemies that aren't worth the trouble. Regarding the end of the update I don't think he's ever going to figure out what makes the Shield Rod so amazing unless he's told how to do the spell. As far as I know, the game never tells you about it.

That weapon has a slightly higher damage formula, and the different trajectory can be useful. Holy water is probably better in most cases, but "not as good" isn't the same as "bad".

You accidentally did this in the video, but you didn't seem to know how you did it, so I'm spoilering it. The Agunea (the "useless" subweapon that you had for most of this video) is the most powerful subweapon in the game. If you hold the attack button after firing it, whatever enemy it hits will be hit with repeated lighting bolts (this happened in the video) that do good damage and fire extremely quickly. The only downside is that it will empty your hearts in just a few seconds. Gnoman fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jul 24, 2018 |

Omnicrom posted:Does the Agunea do that much damage? Even knowing about the multi-hit I always got the sense that think heart for heart you'd get more total damage off of the Cross or possibly the Holy Water. On a per-heart basis, it might not be the strongest. It is the incredible speed at which it does the damage that makes it powerful. It can empty your entire heart supply in three or four seconds, dumping a pretty huge amount of damage into the target. Most bosses have %50-%100 of their HP gone in that time.

I'm not certain if the text always pops up or not, but you can only use mist to pass through grate or fence type obstructions. Doors don't have holes to mist through.

Explopyro posted:Which isn't even particularly well hidden, I just somehow refused to see the second exit to the save point I had the same problem the first time I played through. I think there's so many "one room, no exit" save points, that it is easy to get it fixed in your head that "save points have exactly one exit" and not notice that this isn't always true.

The bat can attack enemies for fairly mediocre damage (The Shield Rod is a pretty bad weapon by itself, and still massively outdamages the bat). The Fairy can use healing items on you (several of which are explicitly listed as unique to her) and tells you where the secret walls are Fairy is objectively a better familiar.

Now you know how those "useless" boots you picked up before are situationally better than the bat. They can break things if you accidentally trigger them with no idea you did so. As an aside, I completely forgot that

That succubus fight is pretty amusing because of how nasty Alucard gets there. When he chats with Death earlier, he's just got an attitude of "have to make the bad castle go away" - but here he's practically gloating about the special hell he's claiming that the Succubus is consigned to.

Something is confusing me. Are there no Nova Skeletons in the normal castle? I was really looking forward to those.

Neat thing is, if you go through the normal castle again, you can really tell that the area is designed for inverted play.

Zanzibar Ham posted:The real secret was the friends we made along the way... You must be joking. All of the secret rooms can be found easily, because pretty much every gap on the map is a secret area. Also, the fairy will point at every wall you can break. Finding the secrets in this game is trivial if you put any effort at all into it.

I figured it out about 25 minutes into the game. It's extremely obvious.

The Alucard shield will kill the final boss in under a second. It is just as well if Natural20 can't figure out what it does. If Nova Skeletons were a little bit sturdier, they'd rank among the biggest rear end in a top hat enemies in gaming history. As it is, they're glass cannons that can be dealt with even though they hit like a ton of bricks.

The only problem with the blind format is that this particular game explains so little. Too many of the items don't tell you how to use them, and you don't always see the real effect of things unless you trigger them accidentally or happen to have gotten a hint from a completely unrelated source that you can very easily not even see.

I was really hoping the Medusa Shield would drop. Not only is the Shield Rod spell (eye lasers) hilariously awesome, he just might have figured out that it damages enemies on contact - which probably would have taught him that that is a thing he could do, and give him a hint for the Alucard Shield.
