I've gotten up to 99.6% of the map discovered but still need more shards and items. 😬

It only affects if you started a game prior to 1.02, patched, then kept playing on 1.02

I've got that multi lightning bolt spell, a thunder ring and a crit ring now. It's been a while since a mook has remained on screen for more than a second.

arisu posted:The game breaking bug applies if you start a game before patch 1.02, then update the game to 1.02 and continue that same save. If you have not started a game, go ahead and update to 1.02 and start a new game and you shouldn't hit the weird chest bug.

I'm fairly close to the end, but I'm definitely considering getting most, if not all, items. Part of the charm of SotN was the fact that there were weird joke items, easter eggs hidden within them, etc. Also, is there a new game+? I'm not usually a fan of them, but considering I had a chest glitch, I wouldn't mind running through the game again. Oh, also, I wonder if there's something new with high level familiars... I've platinumed Requiem recently, and I used a Sword, so I'm doing the same here. If people found that out, what does the Grade upgrade on shards? I get that with, for example, battle spells it does more damage, as with familiars, but does it do anything with, say, shards that steal items, or give you a stat boost? The obvious example is Chair Summon, but as it's a joke shard, it might not do anything. However there are shards like that, where Rank is more or less clearly defined, but Grade seemingly does nothing. Vookatos fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Jun 20, 2019 |

This one is a bit fucky imo. You need to get the random soul drop from the squid guys in the water (the ones who look like the monsters way back from the ship at the beginning) which will let you move through the water. The boss of the area will give you the soul that lets you actually walk underwater.

Help, the upgraded Shovel Armor shard is too powerful and now I can't stop using it everywhere. It feels really silly too but it just machine guns projectiles.

I think I'm stuck again. I just beat Alfred and got the shard that lets you run around underwater. I know the next thing I have to do is probably find something that will let me squeeze through tight spaces. But I think I've explored all of the underwater caverns + desert and whatever I need isn't there. Am I missing something?

Hm no, I don't think I've been back to the train since getting through it the first time. Unless you mean the Reflector Ray, which I already have.

Ok, so every 2 grades you get past the first one for the Dullahan head familiar adds another head. Still not sure if it's gonna be better than the Silver Knight, but it's definitely not bad. Edit: Oh man, I'm not sure how long this holds up, but having 5 Dullahan heads murdering everything in sight is kinda nuts early on.

Silver Knight's clutch blocks are so great sometimes. He's my best bro. Got him up to 7/5 and he's actually outdamaging me in the lava caverns. In general I feel I've hit a damage/level wall and need to farm more levels, I'm up to level 32ish and the best weapons I can craft (other than blowing all of my money on a 16 bit coin) are all around 30-35 base damage. My spells vastly exceed anything my weapons can do, it's just even focusing on Int for regen there's just not enough mana even when being conservative with shotgunning enemies in the face with arrows (my most reliable stupid damage dealer, I think). Was doing mostly okay with decent amounts of food usage (some of the basic ingredients are really annoying to farm/buy) up to now, but then the lava caves just pushed it to a whole new level and I think I Ned to go explore elsewhere to either level up or find other poo poo to do. Already found Gebel's room and explored that whole area until it loops back to the library. Maybe I Ned to go back toward the desert/explore the waterfall caverns...

So int is "casting speed" according to the augment shard. Is con hp and mind magic damage?

Downloaded finished overnight, and while I'm still in the opening area, this is...criminally good. If it turns out there's a version of Juste Belmont: Interior Decorator somewhere in this, it'll be everything I could ever want from a Castlevania type game.

RBA Starblade posted:So int is "casting speed" according to the augment shard. Is con hp and mind magic damage? Int increases damage, but shard RANKS generally do something different from the shard's main function (which is increased by GRADE ie more copies). So the Augment Int shard raises both damage and cast speed when upgraded. Augment Str does the same thing for attack speed. IE: With more Grade the shard will raise your int more. With more ranks your int will stay the same but your cast speed will go up instead. The same applies to attack shards too: grade increases damage while ranks increase aoe or duration or something.

Higher grade gives more int. Higher RANK gives whatever it says at the rank (in this case: faster casting). It doesn't mean int gives cast speed, it just means a higher ranked INT Augment gem helps you cast faster (i guess). Additional note, the STR Augment gives faster attack, and str definitely doesn't give aspd e;fb

it strikes me as kind of weird that they would spell out what additional ranks do right there in the shard description but not do the same for grade.

Thanks guys I didn't realize the shard actually did more than just adding a point to Int so I conflated the description for it for what the stat does

Can you lock yourself out of the bad ending? I'm just now hearing about it and I get the impression I might have progressed too far on accident; I'm missing a boss after the blood vampire girl, I wound up getting blood absorb went "Oh right the fountain I wonder if that'll work" and backtracking to it. I assume the bad ending is back where she was or something?
