Since there's so little info about this game to go around right now, I thought you should know that this game has 3 endings and completion time does not appear to be factor in which one you get. This ending is simply for reaching the end of the game and defeating Bael. Potential Minor Spoilers: The other two are tied to gathering all the Logaeth pages and (to my understanding) 100% completion
The most of the cryptic endings has to be the "bitter" one where Dominique succumbs to the curse and dies, apparently you have to have all Logaeth pages BUT you need to NOT have all the skill shards. Problem is that there are very little options there are, out of 7 abilities *only 2 are really optional:* the dive-kick granted by a hidden Hunter which is frankly useless and the double-jump which is the game becomes immediately worse without (especially since you are still expected to easter egg hunt the entire map)
What's funny to me about this mode, beyond it being a blatant love-letter to Simon's Quest, is that its basic story premise is nearly identical to that of Magolor Epilogue in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe: The main villain from the story mode (Dominique/Magolor) is transported to an alternate dimension after being defeated by the protagonist (Miriam/Kirby), where they're stripped of their powers and have to gradually restore them in order to return to the real world. However, unlike with Magolor, Dominique's quest isn't motivated by any desire to atone for her sins, but instead by petty revenge. In that sense, I think the bad ending is very appropriate for her character. Since she was never humbled or remorseful by her defeat, she deserved to remain trapped in Limbo forever.
@@DeepWeeb Well, regardless of which game predated the other, I just find it amusing that these two completely unrelated games both released within a couple years of each other and happen to share very similar story beats.
1:54:35 'Dis' is the name of a demon lord from old literature, kind of like Asmodeus, etc... Most of the names used in the game appear to be similar references. SMT referenced the same sources when picking their demons.
@@ultimatecalibur Oh cool. I knew Dis was short for/related to Dis Pater, but didn't realize it was actually Roman (though the clearly Latin name should have been a clue) - I haven't read the Inferno in about 30 years, so forgot about the city entirely ;)
Real gamers harness the power of pen and paper. EDIT: You mention using a guide for this, which is interesting. You already know the history behind CV2 with regard to that.
a lot of deaths in this was a whole lot of "man, glad that was not me right now but that sure was funny" especially time when you said something right before a death, why did I die iga?! just to suddenly die a moment later was a great one, it was hard not to laugh at that one.
It's almost a shame the devs couldn't have just offered up Curse of the Moon 1 and 2 'in game' to be the Castlevania 3's to this and Classic 1's Castlevania 1, but from what little I've played so far, this is obscenely fantastic, in terms of content.
Those were made years before this and by a different developer. Those two games are worth buying by themselves. I don't think they should or would offer them free. They are not expensive anyway.
Finally beat the true ending today (it's tied to completion percentage, not moon cycles!). This DLC is awesome. It's the perfect take on Simon's Quest, I think. I really enjoyed how tough the platforming got at times. ...Playing without all the range upgrades looks hellish though.
1:19:40 I will lose my mind if we get a Ritual of the Night 2. Bloodstained: RotN is one of my favorite games of all time, I couldn’t ask enough for even more.
I unironically think Valefar is much better made in curse of the moon and this classic mode. In the main game he most try to bonk you with his hands and you can kinda ignore most of his attack the aegis plate.
I made two "bad endings" still trying to find out how to make the real one, i believe that you need to do a 100% run? I miss one passive ability and one skill. Also, no ideia what to do with the Ring of Devil, there is a half-true hint, but still.
11:22 Yep. When I first saw how the shield looked like after you bought it, I already thought "Oh no, that's just a one-use protection". Nice to see it isn't.
Asphodel steppe to abyssal path music looks like bloody tears vibes from stage 1 castlevania legends on gameboy Ps: when u obtained "Summon Circle" i wonder who summons Circle pedestials back on Bloodstained ritual of the night during Final boss Bael fight is she the one summoning it? Lol
Summon circle can be found at night in Wood of Sacrifice, where there are lots of plants blocking an entrance but must be with dead moon. Once there, you will face a giant werewolf. After that, you can go downstairs and find the summon circle in a chest.
You must collect all 16 scrolls of the book inside each boss castle to get the true ending. I got it in 4 hours,. Unlike Castlevania II, time is not considered.
I wish Igarashi would make O.D. (Orlock Dracule) a playable character. But...maybe that would give off too much of a "symphony of the night" feeling to the game. Especially when you know O.D. is voiced by the same guy who voiced Alucard in SOTN.
Ahh that explains it lol I was SO afraid of falling into water! Wait you mean having it off makes the area EASIER? (Sand is... different physics) or does the sand still have the physics of the water?
PROTIP FOR EVERYONE WITH MINOR SPOILER! AVOID CLOCKWORK TOWER UNTIL AFTER YOU KILL THE TOWER BOSS AFTER IT. TRUST ME ON THIS :) GET THE OTHER SHARDS FIRST THEN COME BACK!
I'm still missing loads of pages and swear I have only killed one hunter (maybe 2?) where the hell are the rest? Liars always giggle like that. ROFL and their text always colored funny.
@@sleepingforest3979curse of the moon. Dominque is a complete different character , there she s actually a good person capable of sacrificios herself for the sake of others has embrace the chucho teachings thats why her attire is different and she fights with a lance, but here she, evil, cunning and with god like aspirations, to resume here she s Mathias before he besame dracula
"Actual no kidding around final update" 🤣. Well at least they constantly update the game, that is worth of price. By the way, does enyone knows if they fix what the last update do to the game recently?
WAIT YOU HAVE TO SPEEDRUN IT TO GET A GOOD ENDING? ARE THEY ABSOLUTELY OFF THEIR ROCKER WITH THE PHYSICS IN THIS GAME? AT LEAST IN SIMON'S CURSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE WITH A STRATEGY GUIDE!
Phew. Good! Also protip since timing doesn't matter - skip clockwork - get standstill, double jump etc. come back to it after you have standstill, platform, doublejump, use your ofudas to get the clear without damage on Valefor with the bone arc thrower/your whip when he's in range of it. Yes I just spammed him with Ofuda and damage and ethers. :3
I dunno, this whole game has been a dissappointment kind of just looks like ass, especially for the dev time...considering Iga has beautiful games under his belt you'd think he would have like, stopped someone at some point. Atleast we got curse of the moon out of the franchise.
Personally, I don't like this dlc. Still struggles to copy Castlevania look and feel and still fails at it on all the line. Better spend money on Castlevania collection
@@protolegacy9184 Hate everything about it. The cliche protagonist, the recycled enemies, that mundane mediocre soundtrack, the colorful and vibrant fairy tale visuals, the low poly graphics and models...the low effort animations...what else...ask if you need more points.
@DezorianGuy I think you're just hating to hate at this point if you can't find a single thing to like about it. I prefer the curse of the moon games to ritual but it's not that friggin bad.

Castlevania 2 was my favorite of the classic games! Love the homage here and thanks for the play through. Your full plays are always a great watch.
I was just checking this DLC and you already uploaded it, thank you so much and keep the hype going! 🍷 Looking forward to that WR
My favorite part of this is Jupiter eating shit every time he jumps cause of his speedrunner brain thinking it's faster.

The irony is that this mode was in the works for about 2 years (it was practically complete), predating the Return to Dream Land remaster 🤨

I can't believe they thought it was a good idea to make a medusa head style enemy that takes more than 1 hit to kill
Does anyone know how you can get the 7th subweapon? (That one between the Fireball "Riga Dohin" and the Book "Dantalion")
It's refreshing see them not try to "redeem" Dominique.
Not every villain needs a redemption arc.

I'd still prefer a Curse of the Moon 3, the platforming tends to be more guesswork in Bloodstained's classic modes.

Holy smokes. You gotta upgrade the length of the whip dude. You are hurtin. hahaha I was shocked to see you had the default length where you were at.
There are no whip upgrades. Deal with it.
@5434345 there are absolutely upgrades to the length of the whip and the damage it does. Stop lying or at least know what you're talking about

You really should have bought the dagger in the first town. Would have saved some headache I think.
Agreed, in hindsight all of the subweapons in this mode are useful & worth the investment. Maybe for speedruns!

i mean if they do a sequel i think he could be an appropriate Julius Mode character
What do you mean it's the final update there isn't coop yet
There will not be full co op like people think. Its small parts co op.Its out.Other than a bug patch maybe this is it thankfully.
