Man I love this game. Most fun I've ever had playing a metroidvania. If Shenmue 3 weren't coming out this year, I'd already have this penciled in for GOTY.
Ooooh I can't wait!I'm doing a poster for the game this week, i'll post it next thursday!
Whats the situation with the switch port guys ? Was the input lag patched ? I want to dive in but I hate input lag.
You need something else to do that. Don't worry, you're not expected to have it yetI unlocked the aqua stream shard, I'm using it and it's okay, but how can I open chests?
Ah, got it. Thank you!You need something else to do that. Don't worry, you're not expected to have it yet
Sorry for the late reply but buy consummè and break it down for black pepper. Also max out alchemical bounty. The biggest help was being able to craft 5x of a thing and break down the extras for parts. Then all you really need is alkhest and money to solve mat problems.I have all trophies except for the item list and I'm kinda dreading it. Any hints or recommendations? Fucking black pepper and apples...
What I did instead of needlessly grinding the chests was: just buy items like "Consommé" and salvage them for Pepper. I did this with almost every other crafting / preparing to get my 100% Items trophy.Welp, I'm at 99.9% map completion. I am curious as to what i missed. Also I need like 5 Black Peppers, which area blue chests are they usually in? (I assume they will be blue chest drops since I can't craft/buy them)
Got my Plat.
I think overall whilst I enjoyed this a lot, I still think SOTN was the better game.

Not really. The DPS is low b/c the damage ticks are far apart. Void Ray is better if you want a cool beam attack. In terms of best directionals, it's a toss up for me between Teps Oceus for its chain lightning auto-hits, True/Chase Arrow for just its shotgun blast of arrows at range and low-ish mana cost, and Heretical Grinder for its sheer DPS.Is Tis Rozain the best directional? Seems kinda silly. Fun tho.

Thanks, this is super helpful. I farmed the Soy Sauce (think this was it) chest already but forgot where the pepper was, so I'll probably do a combination of farming and disassembling.This advice is super good, I recommend it wholeheartedly, but have you noticed in the item compendium that black pepper isn't a drop?
That's because a bunch of cooking ingredients are actually only gained naturally by raiding blue chests in different areas, which you know.
The blue chests for black pepper are in the underground laboratory, and if you want to grind them, all you have to do is go a couple of screens away from the area that the chests are in. If you walk all the way to the train station on that side, and back again, they'll most assuredly come back.
This is useful for when you need to grind blue chests for materials that are a pain to get otherwise, the last area in the game helps with one of the rarest items this way too.
Also, Alkemest is super expensive when you have to use it to break down everything, isn't it? The most effective place to farm it is in the underground desert, where the Amy's roam. Those red phantoms very often drop two alkemest when slain, and you can find rooms in there where they are easily killed and resplendent.
It'll save you roughly 80,000 Gold to Murder your way to a max stack of the stuff, and if you're prepared, you can make a ton of coin at the same time as well!
Did you try holding that pose for a while?Having a blast on PC, the game looks so beautiful at max settings. So far been sticking to the bat shard attack as it tends to be pretty devastating to most enemies and even some bosses powered up.
Miriam striking a pose by pressing up for a few seconds was an amusing discovery.
I haven't tried it.Consensus seems to be thatFire Ball is the best directional.8 Bit
That map screen would be wild.Aftet the last area, I'd really like to see an IGA take on the Divine Comedy.
I'm all for it. Figuring out some way for Gebel (completely turned to crystal) and Zangetsu (trapped in hell?) to return would be cool too, but that would probably presume direct sequel. Though the recurring Dracula analogue for this series would seem to be Bael.. Maybe when Zangetsu is playable some light will be shed on his situation.For those that have beaten the game, what are your thoughts on Dominique returning in a sequel?
She's basically the Mathias Cronqvist of Bloodstained, which sets up the potential for her to become a recurring Dracula analogue.
Oh hell yeah. Absolutely.For those that have beaten the game, what are your thoughts on Dominique returning in a sequel?

I seem to have solved the bug where my Detective's Eye ring and other passive visual flairs kept going away, unless I toggled them off and then back on again.
I beat the game for a second time so that I could get the credits trophy (missed it the first time), and now they have stayed on permanently, so far so good!

Use this guide to cross check, the hidden rooms are marked yellow in each section. You'r missing one in Garden of Silence for example.Can anyone help here, I'm tearing my hair out trying to find the rooms I'm missing for 100%.
It adds lag and bad scaling. I don't know what "vanilla original" release you have but even the Saturn release is better.SOTN has always been on my bucket list of games to "finish." I have the vanilla original release. Is there any benefit at all to the version of Symphony of the Night that came out as part of that collection, or should I stick with the original? Thanks!
Your missing one room in livre ex machina. It's in the little empty gap under the saveroom/teleporter and to the right.Can anyone help here, I'm tearing my hair out trying to find the rooms I'm missing for 100%.

I'm close to the good ending but to be honest I'm kind done with it and feel fulflled. It was a good game, but the runs back to the hub area to get potions because I can only buy 5 at a time really made me tired of it all. The food system is grindy and boring so I didn't engage with it. All in all, I think it's a quality game and there's a lot of room for improvement for the sequel which I hope happens.
We're comparing it to digital signal processing and likely wireless controllers. I'd take the Saturn version any day.Saturn release is Japanese only, stretched and warped looking textures, slowdown all the time with sprites on the screen, delay to raise the menu screen by like 2 seconds, and you need to pause first and hit a shoulder button to use the map.
It is better than no other version. Playing Richter and a unique Maria don't make up for it. It is playable, but in no way is it optimized.
I haven't tried it.
I actually just beat the game. Really good game, is there a new game plus? Super secret super bosses?
Can someone answer this question? I'm curious as well.Has the Xbox patch been pushed out yet? I believe they said it would be available this weekend but I have not heard of any confirmation.
