Sooks Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Maybe I should just use a guide for actually finding sidequests. I mean, I’m not gonna 100% the whole game because the recipe book and monster log don’t sound fun to fill out, but doing all the side quests is something I would do… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 All right, so I have thoroughly explored the caves beneath the fountain. ...Yes, I have to agree with everyone complaining, here. The mob required to get the swimming ability (at least I'm assuming it's that glowing blue medusa thing, from what you guys said before) is some random monster that only appears in two rooms and seems as mundane as any other. There is absolutely no reason to even begin to consider that it may drop a vital progression shard, when every other shard required to make progress has been either a guaranteed drop from bosses or found on statues that are also guaranteed to drop it. Not only that, the monster can dive and you can't, which makes it awkward to fight, and in one of the two rooms where it appears, there's a broken bridge you can use to skip the water altogether, so you have to go out of your way to fight the monster. Not very well thought out. Now, there is one bit of smart design here: The things have the highest shard drop rate in the game according to the internet (10% before luck), and the other room that has them leads to a dead end (with a teleporter, but chances are you'll go back to that teleporter sooner or later anyway) and this time they're squarely in your way. Thus, on your way through and then back you'll fight like 8 of them. The chances of failing to get the shard from that are low. They should be nonexistent, but... yeah. It's bad, but compared to something like Aria of Sorrow's three required random drops... I'll take it. Also, guess who went through that room and then back and didn't get the shard. My luck is something else, I swear... 7 minutes ago, Maof06 said: Ruben always like this See, that's a good character des-- WAIT WHAT IS THAT THING ON HIS ARM-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Bloodstained playtime according to the save files: 9 hours + 1 hour from my first failed run. Bloodstained playtime according to Steam: 2 9 H O U R S Considering nothing after death is counter, that means I've spent roughly 20 hours failing at the game. Think about it. Oh, and I just realized Bloodstained has no Steam trading cards. Weird, considering even some of the tiniest, most unknown Steam games I've seen have them. Just now, Shrimperor said: guess what happened with me? same yup It really shouldn't have been left up to chance. It's so strangely inconsistent with the rest of the game, too. Every other progression shard is guaranteed. Why the heck did they do this for this particular shard? Is Iga just a fan of RNG and couldn't resist? If the swimming ability was only required to get into an optional area, that'd be fine - but there's no way that's true, because I haven't had any "ok yeah we're definitely on our way to the good ending now" moments yet. I can only assume I have to swim to proceed. But that's bullshit. Then there's also the fact that this is the one thing that Dominique gives no clues for. Yeah, the one you're most likely to miss? Thanks, girl. Real nice. So that's another point off the rating. So far it's looking like this: Cons: - Bathin. Fuck him. - The swimming shard is difficult to find. - Johannes's voice actor has something to do with Three Houses. Pros: - Everything else. - It's not anime.

Benice Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 @Eltosian Kadath I think I'm going to place the Lordvessel with Frampt instead of Kaathe. I don't know which ending I will take, but I don't trust this Kaathe bloke. His covenant knights are spending all their time shanking me, and he seems to have a lot of ulterior motives. He sure ain't explaining why he wants the age of the Dark or why he wants me to follow and serve him. I dunno, I just really don't like the vibes he gives. Frampt also certainly isn't telling me the whole story, but I don't feel like he's trying to use me as blatantly as Kaathe is. Plus, he has the more useful ability of being able to eat my stuff.
