Howdy y'all! Just got this recent beauty of a dlc and I have a question.
The Alchemy Whip. It says that it gets stronger with each boss defeated. Does that trait carry over to the Vampire Killer evolution? Or does one delay evolving it for as long as possible, powering it up with boss kills BEFORE PROCEEDING with evolving it?

I just got the new Updates on PS5, while it fixed stuff regarding some items that couldn't be sealed, I do wonder about Parm Aegis and Karoma's Mana...
They don't seem to get "lost" as options in Level Up anymore (if you Maxed out everything else the game would just default to Chicken&Coin bags or Limit Break before the Update)...
But they still don't seem to be available as level up options (unless picked up by other means first).
Is it intentional that we have to rely on Arma Dio to get them outside of the ones you can pick up on the Castlevania stage?
Feel like after getting them once they should be treated like regular passives and appear as Level Up Options + in Black Chests...
fathom orchid
intentional
they're in preview since they needed to add them now to make the dlc evo lsit feel complete
actual unlock methods will be added next year

so, is the bestiary glitched, or are the entries for certain enemies just not finished yet? cause i've explored the whole castle, as far as i can tell, and killed every boss that is actually reachable, and several spots in the bestiary are still empty, including several of the bosses i've killed numerous times
speaking of the bestiary entries... is the killer doll's intentional, or an error?

283 is bugged, some of the ones not counting have been fixed in the steam beta. some just dont have one outright, which definitely seems like an oversight and is inconsistent on whatever logic you try to apply to it

Sara's passive to turn the Alchemy Whip into the Vampire Killer upon death would imply that the version we're playing as in game ||is after she was bitten since the entire deal with the Vampire Killer powerup is that it needed a "tainted soul".

Oh, there's a lot of things that you can't do on Switch right now
That's unfortunately one of them
You can't unlock the ||Familiar or Innocent|| either
And there's also roughly half of the ||Pile of Secrets|| missing

oughhh

Yeah, I know your pain
Just gotta wait for the patch to be approved by Nintendo
There's still a good amount of content, though
unkempt jay
as soon as it's patched there's gonna be more bugs that take a month to get greenlit

So I beat legion with Dracula. No stones dropped once again. Kept going and nearly got the beat every boss achievement and transformed into megalodracula and still isn’t available to get him after the run. Getting annoyed by a lot of stuff at this point. May just drop it. I had went completely out of the game to check for updates today and it didn’t download anything

Might be a steamdeck/linux bug then, if you could make a bug report that would be appreciated

so i was looking through the characters and... is there any reason that ||Jonathan & Charlotte|| doesn't have any bonus stats? i would expect them to have the same stats as ||Jonathan|| namely the extra 30 health and 20% might, but they literally have just base 100 hp no modifiers.

So was over a year since I played the og game and just realized I forgot all about hyper mode. Down to 15 characters to unlock and 4 are the megalos that are bugged for me
flint gale
are you supposed to be able to just get the evolved trident without actually having obtained the trident? 'cuz I just found it in a chest and had to look it up because I had never even heard of the weapon before
if not, there's definitely some weird shenanigans with evos going on this dlc
earlier i had, if I recall correctly, the mace and jet black whip. the mace evolved as soon as I got the stone mask, but the jet black whip wouldn't until I fully upgraded it. like their requisites were swapped

um...excuse me what?
I've seen this happen with ||Troll Bomb|| if you take it from a level-up due to having ||Pumpkin as your Familiar (via Familiar Forge)|| + ||you take a 2nd Pumpkin from a 2nd Familiar Forge||. Looks like this is something similar to that, considering the weapon Faerie uses.

Hi. Is the bug fixed on the switch? I'm thinking about buying the dlc before the promo ends

Ok. Thank you, Staf

Does Grant's passive trigger the last sentence of

Is it Julia or Julius to get the familiars? And I rerolled at the beginning a bunch of times with both to get the 2nd forge. Can you only get it once you reach a certain level?

have you unlocked the forge properly?

i was only missing richter then

have you unlocked the forge properly?
Yes, and I have young Marie already, but I can’t get the double forge for the achievement

try picking it from a candybox
it can also appear in level if you have an open WEAPON slot
trail violet
did you get one in level up then get it from the stage
hexed mantle
Am waiting to get a candy box, have one of each slot open but hasn’t popped up..

easy way is to use the hail from the future darkana

so how many characters does the DLC have in total?

narrow glade
do i need to kill the bosses in order and in one run?
fathom orchid
for?
narrow glade
mean for progression in the dlc
fathom orchid
to progress through the castle, you dont have to kill every boss, and it can be done across runs since progression is done through relics
tribal wren
Just keep on defeating bosses that you come across, and use the warp gates to your advantage at the beginning of new runs to get even further in the castle
tribal wren
You've gotta defeat him with Sanctuary
marble elbow
You've gotta defeat him with Sanctuary
He says to defeat him but with something sacred
fathom orchid
||and sanctuary (evolved refectio) is the weapon you need. you have to kill him with the instakill/cleanse effect from it||
but for further ||secret discussion||, best to keep it in #💀survivors-spoilers

Ah, right. My bad
burnt spruce
uh, so while playing as juste, i started noticing various colored rings on the ground? what are they? i thought they were just some alternate appearance of gems, but picking up a magnet didn't draw them in
burnt spruce
oh, is that what rock riot does? well, that answers that then
tribal wren
Only once it's evolved into Gemma Torpor, though
twin kayak
Is it normal that most characters from this dlc don't show that they can find the dlc's pickups?
burnt spruce
alright, one more question... is it normal that parm aegis, karoma's mana, and alucard's swords don't gain levels if they're the only things i have that need levels? infact, they only randomly, and rarely, show up in the level up menu if i have atleast one other item other than them that still needs levels
fathom orchid
no, but all are known issues

what do the special pickups from gemma torpor do? just give more xp?

I used Julia on OtC, Hail from the future darkana, got a candybox -> familiar forge
then walked to the map pickup familiar forge. Chose Ukoback and Faerie, waited a few seconds then quit out
and did not unlock them as characters
is this a known switch bug?
fathom orchid
ye
gritty ibex
ah
I also killed stella/loretta with the lightbook screenwipe and got all 4 of them (S, L, S+L, L+S) but no J+C
is that meant to happen, or yet another switch bug?
fathom orchid
we don't actually know, imo ||unlocking j+c with the twins is a failsafe for the people who don't know the spells||
gritty ibex
so what should I do? theyre not even on my character select
and switch spells dont work
fathom orchid
wait
gritty ibex
I guess wait but like, are we sure the devs know all the switch issues?
joachim doesnt have a text in his character select for example, tiny issue but still
btw are you like a megafan or a mod or what? youve been very helpful here

i see

it would be cool to be community helper, but it wouldn't be cool to beg/ask for it (plus that's not how they give it out anyway, not looking for CH since there's quite a few, etc)
