Started playing again for the dlc and man I missed this game. One thing though, I understand the voice changes, but I kind of missed the originals since they had a sort of schlocky feel to them similar to the voice work in SotN.

The voice acting was really good to start with, I think it's crazy they went through and changed them (my favorites were the little guy who worships the tortured lady and the final boss). I haven't played through again so I don't know how much they changed - was it much beyond Cresanta?

I've not heard Crisantas new voice yet, but there was just something so funny as hell about it since she sounded so...warrior of justice like something out of a shonen manga/anime. I've not heard they changed Cleofas and Escribar is the same. Ditto for Deogracias.

I haven't played this since May, when I hit a wall near endgame (I forget which boss I was on, maybe Cristana or whatever). Got sucked into other games and forgot all about it. Should I pick it back up where I left off, or should I start all over again? I understand that they have made the game easier or something since then?

A lot of the added features are for NG+.

I normally hate Spanish (from Spain) voice acting, but I am gonna reinstall the drat game and probably replay it in Spanish. I mean, it is only fitting, for this title.

Been playing well so far and the Amanecidas are tough as hell, but I'm starting to see why Tiento to your Thorned Hairs and Zarabanda of the Safe Haven are late game prayers with how OP they are.

Finished the DLC. It's quite obvious that Jibrael is either the twisted one, or an avatar or incarnation of him in the living world given his relationship with Laudes of the Amanecidas.

I just picked this up. It’s pretty fun so far. Without spoilers, is there anything I can do to permanently ruin my initial run? I destroyed one of those Guilt statues accidentally. The only thing I don’t like about games like this and Dark Souls is not knowing if I permanently screwed myself, like when I attacked Eileen in Bloodborne cause she looked completely like an enemy.

I destroyed one of those Guilt statues accidentally. While I wouldn't recommend doing it early on, breaking that statue wasn't necessarily a bad thing. There's a timed side quest in the snowy mountain area that used to be timed from the moment you entered that has been changed, other than that there's nothing too important that's missable.

There's a bit of a timed mission involving some spices and the kisses of wounds in the main town, but that's more of an achievement thing(as in, even if you gently caress up you can still get all the rewards). For that what you gotta do is bring spices in between bosses or instead just collect all the spices you can find and deliver them before taking any boss fights. Only other thing you can gently caress up is failing to give Cleofas the cord of burial and screwing yourself out of an Uber powerful prayer or choosing to kill Socorro instead of giving her the marks of refuge from the anointed legionaires you kill which causes the same.

Two questions: sometimes when I did, as I respawn some of the children of moonlight fly away from the save point. What’s this about? Also, is there any way to look down? I hate that there’s no way sometimes to know what’s below you.

One of these times is if you are doing a sword stab wall cling  (Though ledge hang USUALLY lets you). Or if you want to look up while at the bottom end of the screen. Or more bizarre like you are on a platform not too far from ground level and you can look up, but not DOWN (at the little jumpy guys at ground level you see the heads of poking up from the edge of the screen). And who knows what else I'm forgetting.This may be why you were unsure how to look down, because of the various moments it would come in handy then... just doesn't work.

Section Z posted:You can look a (tiny) bit up and down with the right stick Goodness, thank you. I would not have figured this out. I just found two health upgrades in just a few minutes and feel a lot better going around. I’ve beaten two bosses now and still having a lot of fun. I traded in a flask for improved flask healing. Is this an actual tradeoff or will I get more flasks (enough today have the max)?

Marathoned this game over yesterday and today. Good stuff! Still can go back for some NG+ stuff. Wasn't as hard as I expected/worried.Gay Rat Wedding posted:Here's patch https://steamcommunity.com/games/774361/announcements/detail/1593635746647312737 dantheman650 posted:Goodness, thank you. I would not have figured this out. It's a legit trade-off unless I missed something. There's a limited amount of flasks in the game, and there doesn't seem to be a cap on how many you can have at once. That said, there's max HP upgrades, so at some point you're probably want the increased HP per drink to save time.

I feel like I’m nearing the last third of the game and I still haven’t found anything that lets me get up to higher ledges. I do have the relic that makes the red platforms appear but there are tons of things on high ledges I can’t get to. Will I get some sort of double jump or something super close to the end of the game? My map completion is 70%.

You can beat the final boss without the red platform relic or the relic you're probably looking for (I consider this a fault of the game tbh - so much is gated behind red platforms and nothing in the main questline requires it). It's not anything as major as a double jump. If you want to look up how to find it it's called three gnarled tongues.

Cool. I did look up the thing in the spoiler and I had already found two of those three necessary artifacts and the place to put them. But I didn’t know if the third was somewhere I had been yet or not. I guess I just missed it. Another weird thing - is it normal that I’m this far in the game and only have three spells? I barely ever use any of them and it makes the whole fervor mechanic feel a bit pointless.

You really do need those to start collecting more spells. That and the Golden Sheet and Dirt Nail. Edit: The spells you REALLY wanna watch out for are Lorquina, Zarabanda of the Safe Haven, Tiento to your Thorned Hairs, and Debla of the Lights. The last two you get from delivering the remains of the girl to the Albero Church and delivering the marks of refuge to Socorro followed by delivering the Cord of True Burial to Cleofas before he kills himself respectively. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Sep 10, 2020 |

I picked up the Three Gnarled Tongues last night. I had to use a guide to find out where to take the egg. That was a bit too obscure for my tastes. I don’t know what any of the other things you mentioned are! But I guess more exploring will reveal them. Weird how you basically get all this stuff right near the end of the game.

I was able to find the tongue and blood relics without looking up, and I think I got both before the bridge? But there's also a relic for jumping in water/mud, and it honestly feels like it comes way too late? There was a path I couldn't access in the cistern for way too long. It drove me nuts. Which then gives you the relic that helps you find other secrets, like after I had found everything!

Really strange thing - Tirso won’t take my Sooty Garlic. I am pretty sure I already finished his quest - I got a rosary bead from him. Is there something else this is used for? 96% on the map and missing one child of moonlight. I don’t think I can be bothered to try to find the last one. Probably will go fight the final boss, assuming that’s where I am (top right).

Check around the village on the right hand side for grave markers to see if you messed it up I think. You also might just be missing a boss somewhere but I doubt it.

I'm playing true torment mode with the penitence where your health bar is replaced by hits & I found the NPC who trades health refills to make them more powerful. Is this actually beneficial on this mode? does it make them heal 2 hits per flask, fill up subsequent hits faster, etc?

I've not tried it since I'm patient enough to let it heal entirely on it's own on top of using the painted wooden bead to top off.

I just tried it out since I had a bunch of flasks now and it didn't seem to do anything. still heals 1 hit per flask, the next 2 still seem to take about 10 seconds to come back. seems like a waste unless it makes a difference later. the NG+ exclusive bosses seem very cool, but the fact that some of them are a long way from any checkpoints is very lame. the base game is really good about putting checkpoints right outside bossfights so this was disappointing. luckily it hasn't mattered much since I got two of them on the second try and the next one on the first try. You can get really overpowered on NG+ even though you can't level up your sword's damage and one-shot a bunch of enemies anymore. The invincibility spell is predictably insane, but giving enough money to the church in albero also gives you a bead that makes your sword shoot absurdly high-damage projectiles after using a health flask, which you can combine to just blitz bosses while mostly untouchable. The bleeding heart penitence also feels like it's more favorable to you than not, since you get more hits than it normally takes to kill you at the end of the game. it also makes anything that affects the amount of damage you take irrelevant, so you can use the sword heart that makes you deal + take no damage with no penalty. there is another version of that bead that triggers when you do an execution, but I can never figure out what makes it turn off. I know it turns off if you change screens but sometimes it lasts for the whole screen and sometimes it turns off in 2 seconds.

That's why I picked Bleeding Heart. Knowing how much damage some of the bosses do, I knew I could game it by simply doing a tank strat like the Max Level 1 from Portrait of Ruin where you're supposed to use the Ancient Armor(max damage taken is ALWAYS 10% hp).

one goofy thing about NG+ starting you with your relics is that you can use the "fall into bottomless pits" one to fall into the desecrated cistern and clear the whole thing from the start, getting the upgrades that are normally rewards for beating ten piedad and tres angustas from behind without actually fighting those bosses at all.

So I made it to the mountain of ash and failed to climb it. I didn't bother looking up any of the "true ending" stuff, preferring to just play the game naturally. If I want to see the rest of the content, is my best bet to just do new game+ at this point? For what it's worth that ending is REALLY UNSATISFYING and easily my biggest knock against the game. A player shouldn't have to look up a guide to feel like they beat a game correctly.

I'm replaying the game to see the new content. I've fought two of the Amanecidas so far. It's pretty cool for a free update. I have a question regarding the language. Spanish is my mother tongue, so I'm not sure if the English translations sounds odd or not. There are a lot of untranslated terms related to the Andalusian Semana Santa and the translation in general sounds too literal to me. Does the text sound natural?

i can't speak to the Spanish script, but as a former catholic and current player of From games i can say this game's dialogue has two modes, and switches between them frequently: pastiche of catholic devotional literature, and pastiche of dark souls dialogue. both are basically accurate, though the former is better-written. in either case, the style seemed intentional and not like a bad or overly-literal translation.
