Ode to Castlevania

[wise flame]

Any code for Dark Lord?

[fathom orchid]

no

[ionic viper]

I DID IT

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT

YEAH WOOOOOOOOOOO

I figured it out guys

dracula is broken

so if you go to true inf corridor as dracula you can go and beat zephyr pretty quickly due to his health regen

[rich scroll]

ok random nitpick but whose idea was it to have power of sire literally blind you to everything around you

[minor wadi]

Has fake trio or Astarte been figured out yet?

[fathom orchid]

they're both bugged

[untold cloak]

some of the new castlevania characters have "adpet with <weapon>" in their description. what does this mean, exactly?

...why do i have the beta tester role lmao

[fathom orchid]

because you selected it

[untold cloak]

i legitimately do not remember this but okay

[fathom orchid]

seems to be (partly) a cooldown multiplier

[untold cloak]

meaning the cooldown for the weapon(s) they're adept at is faster than normal? neat

[fathom orchid]

seems to be 4x faster (at least for hugh)

yea

[untold cloak]

4x O_O

[fathom orchid]

seems to depend o the character but yeah

like gaibon's adeptness with fire wand isnt 4x faster, but like 1.5-2x

[ionic viper]

I DID IT

FINALLY

IT'S DONE

he doesn't start with wine glass

he starts with ebony dialogue

[fathom orchid]

does he have the damage cap passive?

probably hard to tell but

[ionic viper]

I'll tell you when I start my run. I'm gonna try and do some otc update unlocks with him now

ok so...he starts with nothing special. Just the stats you see and ebony dialogue. I'll try seeing if he can reach the damage cap with some of the new stuff if I can unlock it.

[ionic viper]

Ok so I just had a run. I didn't reach level 100 but it seems the game wants me to take the dominus glyphs

I'm gonna try that and see if the union changes

[ionic viper]

I think he does?

if by damage cap passive you mean if you bump up his stats enough his weapons can go above the cap

because I heard the marker for it

scratch that no he doesn't

that sound was me leveling up too much

sigh ok I had to end the run since it started getting hard to see

um...he randomly levels up one of his stats every 5 levels or so

every so often I saw a number go up above his head and it wasn't on any of my weapons so it was probably a stat increase

[fathom orchid]

no

dracula caps all incoming damage at 10, like

[ionic viper]

oh that

yeah that was very hard to tell

he's really tanky

[ruby ibex]

did the swords achievement on dairy plant. didn't get anything

is there a specific character that needs to meet the criteria?

[fathom orchid]

no

are you using the right weapons? also make sure youre not uniting the librarian weapons

[unborn veldt]

Ah, Actrise got a custom Runetracer. That's so cool.

I suppose it would be possible for Jonathan to go unarmed by using a container and picking Skip.
"Among the flowers" though. Maybe the ones in the Bone Zone. Not like they are hard to find.

[fathom orchid]

that ones bugged

[subtle nebula]

Oh guess I'll just put in the passwords then

[ebon jolt]

So did anything else unlock with Dark Lord Soma? more importantly, is he any good

[smoky fable]

good if you want more offensive approach to dracula. +2 might every level
he got more greed than base soma, you can argue that's obsolete with sammy but at least he's useful to farm in adventure repeated run

so I saw someone mentioned that this adventure is just reskinned of VS's base adventure.. Okay, I know sunken city is moongolow and true infinite corridor is holy forbidden, but which base vs stage ecclessia parallels to?

...... cleared the juste unlock with christopher. what.
anyway i have somacula now~

[ebon jolt]

So Soma is more powerful in dark lord form, but he's still not AS strong as Dracula is? At least EBony Diabalogue is mostly some pretty decent weapons

[smoky fable]

not exactly weaker, but the offense to base dracula's defense. base and megalo drac have built in crimson shroud (damage capped at 10) , and even that is without the retaliation. but somacula gains +2 might every level when most characters whose might with level onlu gain +1 per level

so much for thinking cosmo pavone too broken with +1 recovery per level when all recovery scaling characters to half of that
and then somacula happens

[ebon jolt]

Well on the plus side, it would be really easy to stock somacula on defense and have both attack and defense with that 666 hp

I dunno what'd you do though

[smoky fable]

well, naturally with that much might, weaker but wider AoE may see more value used with him. I like spammimg screen covering weapons.

[ebon jolt]

So pop some armor on him for defense, an aoe attack, and you op? I will be looking forwards to seeing good somacula builds. Maybe we don't even NEED Crismon Shorund with that much hp, tbh

[smoky fable]

for comparison, even if the among us scientist put all of her bonuses into recovery, it's still 20 times slower than cosmo pavone's recovery scaling. Comparison to somacula and other might scaling characters should be similar

[ebon jolt]

So Somacula is close to pavone but in a different stat?

[fathom orchid]

I mean, 2% might per level is still not that much

[ebon jolt]

So I guess it's just kinda a more offensive Dracula. I guesss if you have 666 hp to start off it, the offense is probably better then a ibnbuilt crimson shourd anyway

[ionic viper]

I'd say he's stronger if we're comparing base forms

[unborn veldt]

It's so charming how the Castlevania Adventure is basically a reskin of the Vampire Survivor levels.
Effectively going "This is what the game would have looked like if we could have used the IP that we clearly had on our mind".

[onyx saffron]

the Summon Spirit Tornado is kinda goated actually

[ruby anchor]

Hey folks, is there an updated unlock guide for the Ode?

For the characters I mean

[onyx saffron]

pinned

all of them have been confirmed except Astarte and the Fake Trio because they're bugged

[fathom orchid]

not in this chat lol

[onyx saffron]

oh right

my bad I got mixxed up

[fathom orchid]

the pins i #1301999183368163442 have the new secrets

[onyx saffron]

yeah

[unique loom]

did something happen with the new DLC? Last night i had westwood and unlocked the jester character and now i logged in and both the stage and character are no longer an option

also had Party mode and thats gone to

[cyan urchin]

Done

[onyx saffron]

hey wait a minute

[ruby anchor]

Was trying to help my friend find the treant but the door to em seems to be locked? 🤔 Is there a guide to how things get unlocked?

[trail violet]

you need the ||pile of secrets||

[ruby anchor]

Ahh, that's what I figured but wasn't sure. Thank you

[formal night]

congrats you unlocked alucart

[onyx saffron]

Alucard has met the Alucart of legend

[torpid matrix]

you unlocked alucard from hellsing

[tall sundial]

hey, does anyone here know how to unlock the new smoa weapon? It says complete the adventrue once, but what does that mean. I thought I ahd to play as richter and fisnish the game again btu that didn't work. any tips?

[torpid matrix]

main menu ➡️ adventures

[tall sundial]

ooooh

[torpid matrix]

complete all advancements in the ode to castlevania adventure

[tall sundial]

wait there is a new catslevania adventure?

[torpid matrix]

yes

[tall sundial]

that's cool

I was dissapointed we didn't get one initially but this is great. gives me more to do

thanks for the info

[uncut kite]

I'm having trouble unlocking the Fake Trio

As you can see here, I have evolved every Librarian weapon at least once, but the character remains locked

[ionic viper]

Bugged

Known issue

[uncut kite]

Oh, bummer, I'll just wait then

[civic marten]

hello everyone can someone help me with this closed door. i dont know how to open it

[torpid matrix]

you need to complete the throne room event with richter first before you can go there

[civic marten]

does it work in the adventures or i need to do it in the base game

[torpid matrix]

doors only exists outside of adventure

[civic marten]

okay perfect thanks

[covert crypt]

you could use the code on the wiki

[smoky fable]

is this the right site? it's not updated yet

[covert crypt]

||theysmelldifferent||

wait should have spoilered that

https://vampire.survivors.wiki/w/Fake_Trio#Sypha right here on the page

[uncut kite]

I know, it's just that I try to avoid using the codes if I can because it takes a bit of the fun of unlocking things for me
But if it's the only way, then I guess

[covert crypt]

if you already did it

why not actually unlock it

[covert crypt]

lol nevermind

[minor wadi]

Man, I can't find a good groove on the OtC adventure.

[torpid matrix]

get alucard asap then get leon asap
then it wont be hard anymore

[fathom orchid]

Or use party mode

4 party members w/ was very easy

[minor wadi]

4p party mode is crashing on me

[fathom orchid]

Rip

3p would still be good

[frozen dove]

Hi Kasslevanier chat

Here, have a fairly comprehensive list of named characters from the CV series that are not in the DLC or its expansion (this does not have characters from the show, recurring enemy/boss characters or characters that are based on already existing ones in the Lords of Shadow trilogy)

[trail violet]

||fun fact there are actually some of these characters in the files||

[frozen dove]

I will admit I was this 🤏 close to putting Dogether on that list, but I feel like Laura is the only enemy/boss type worth mentioning because she has an actual role as a character, and has a version elevated to playable in LoS

[frozen dove]

That said, I think the fact that characters like Iris from Rondo are like, the most 'glaring' omissions speaks for how massive this game's coverage is

[untold cloak]

yeah, they've already got a bunch of super deep cuts

[smoky fable]

lmao the ||fake trio||
expectation: ||zombie or doppleganger trevor, sypha, grant||
reality: ||antonio, imelda and gennaro cosplaying as trevor, sypha and grant||
this game is so self aware lmao

[fathom orchid]

they are zombies 🤓

[smoky fable]

ah yes, classic datamining and legal reasons
poncle really knwo their stuff

kinda want to see said files kekw

[covert crypt]

i mean, 18 weapon and passive slots

they beat perkeo in slots

[unborn veldt]

Henry still doesn't have his surname listed. Is Konami's official position that he is somehow not actually named Henry Oldrey?
I mean, heck, his dad even already organized a gravestone for him.

[smoky fable]

huh? i just noted the design
nothing about gameplay

[unborn veldt]

Going with Carrie Fernandez is also interesting.
Sure, it's the name that was used in the game. But by now the series long settled on spelling the family name as "Belnades".
Not like Final Fantasy ever goes back to calling her "Aeris" for old times' sake.

[covert crypt]

right

in that case

they are still funny

though i wonder why they were locked specifically behind all those weapon unions

maybe there's no specific reason

[unborn veldt]

Well, all those unions do seem to involve merging a OtC weapon with a Vampire Survivors weapon. Seems fitting.

[covert crypt]

true

wonder if we'll get even more unions for weapons that were left out

like phieraggi and vandelier

[smoky fable]

tbf fuwalafuwaloo,phieraggi and vandelier are already fusion between two active weapons

and pretty broken on their own, okay vandelier much less so than phieraggi and fuwalafuwaloo, but you get it

[covert crypt]

i mean i can see the pattern

only actual single weapon evos got the powercreep

but it would be cool if they added some extra fancy ones for these

maybe something that requires 2 passives too like the old godai shuffle

[smoky fable]

how broken it would be even
carnage heart was made with NO FUTURE and troll bomb and it was constant screen covering like Photonstorm
Phieraggi is already covering the screen, what can they do to make it more broken? though making fuwalafuwaloo even bigger is how they make it even stronger I guess

[covert crypt]

well, my idea is

fuwalafuwaloo either gets additional effects

or it's just mirrored

or even aimable

like

in the directions you move not just left or right

vandelier just needs some GOOD additional effects, or homing shots, or ditching the aoe thing entirely

and phieraggi would be very fun if the lasers stood still and coult be moved and combined with movement

[bleak meadow]

is it just me or does zephyr/tera NOT find orologions/rosaries more easily?

[lime wren]

is there a comprehensive list of the spells for any of the new Castlevania stuff yet?

[torpid matrix]

spells for the new secrets are pinned in #1301999183368163442

[lime wren]

thank you!

[remote depot]

I don't want to uninstall, but if i spend another 20mins to see my home screen because the game crashed for no fault of my own, what choice do i have? (in double digits). Dont have to tell you this game is amazing, Ya'll justly earned your accolades. But broken is broken. is it me? I'm accustomed to troubleshooting (Election-Beam welder for DOD). DM for fix please.

I want to reiterate my love for this game. If steam had my PS1 and PS2 game hours for SOTN and COS combined, it would be..... i just love how you did Familiars and stage secrets.

pika pika

[broken niche]

Can Astarte and Fake trio be unlocked?

[ebon jolt]

On Steam Build, yes I beleive so. On other builds, not yet.

[smoky fable]

-base game capella magna have all ||holy forbidden|| access characters as Stage Killers
-meanwhile in the castlevania adventure , in the throne room, it's just succubus and ||leon doppleganger||
even the minutes 25 succubus boss is also pretending to be ||leon||
even the alchemy whip and the wine glass both evolves with the cake.
my fujo brain is thinking lf something.....
||true infinite corridor||also have ||trevor doppleganger|| but yeah... yeah.
does poncle ship them or something

[wise flame]

Any code yet for Dark Lord Soma?

[covert crypt]

yes

wait no nvm i read wrong

[balmy elbow]

Is the "Survive for 25 minutes with Juste" quest in the Castlevania adventure bugged? Already reached the 25 minute mark with him twice and it still hasn't been completed for me yet.

[smoky fable]

ye
finished mine using christopher instead
been done that 6 times now

[weak sedge]

Reach +999% Luck with Chula-Reh achievement not unlocking for me. I've quit out several times with my luck stat well over 1000. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[balmy elbow]

Quit at the exact moment you reach over 999 luck. Also, wrong chat.

[weak sedge]

Sorry

[topaz sinew]

Is there anywhere showing the new secrets of OTC?

[fathom orchid]

pinned in #1301999183368163442 for the unlocks

[topaz sinew]

Ty

[weary elm]

How many levels are in this dlc?

[fathom orchid]

1, but it's a very very big stage

[weary elm]

ok thanks, I see there is 22 characters

[fathom orchid]

:)
||there are... a little more||

[weary elm]

oh hehe

🙂

[fathom orchid]

||96||

[rich scroll]

the fake trio aren't doppelgangers. in lore they are literally just zombies cosplaying as the three to confuse alucard

or jonathan and charlotte. but it's less effective there

[hot palm]

New OTC content is fire, my only complaint is that ||Dark Lord Soma|| is kinda lame. That aside, absolutely love the new weapon fusions.

[ebon jolt]

It is worth it for content alone. The stage might be only 1, but it's probably the biggest stage in the game

[frozen dove]

It's a huge stage with a lot of secrets and unlockable areas

[static sky]

Whose better at making the most gold in the Castlevania dlc? Vincent or Actrise?

[left quest]

When we have to survive with the coat of arms weapons is it in any map and for any duration or does it have to be 30 min and in the Ode to Castlevania castle?

[fathom orchid]

any map

keep in mind the list of what you need is surprisingly picky

[left quest]

Ok so I can do that while trying to survive 20 minutes in Westwoods and combine several unlocks at the same time

[static sky]

It's really the only stage I play lately. It's that good

[ionic viper]

Master librarian probably

Since theoretically you can get power of lire to stack with his hidden one

[static sky]

So what your saying is, I can party Mode Vincent, Actrise, and Master Librarian and make a crap ton of money? (I don't have Sammy yet)

I need to max out that Seal III and Preserver power up ASAP

[deft lodge]

tried getting genya twice now (im switch if that means anything), I used Mina and did the thing on boss rash but no genya

anyone know what the issue might be?

[fathom orchid]

Known issue

[pulsar saffron]

Does anyone know which enemies are the number 32 and 34 in adventure mode?

[grizzled ocean]

Did it bug since I got it, or is it just buggy and I got lucky?

[fathom orchid]

lucky

[grizzled ocean]

huh

glad i got lucky i guess

[median ledge]

Hey
How can i evolve the pocket knife?

[fathom orchid]

Max torrona’s box

[median ledge]

Im stuck with that

[median ledge]

Really?

[fathom orchid]

Yes

[median ledge]

Thx Bro🥹

[smoky fable]

me: why you can find the wine glass at hammer's shop and not , say, elizabeth or hector's shop (in planar bazaar)
wine glass evolves
me: oh....

[rain chasm]

VS noob here. Someone want to help me unlock the rest of the Castlevania characters doing co-op?

I'm on the Switch

[twin kayak]

I don't know which characters you are reffering to, but every unlock is on the wiki.

[deft lodge]

I can try

but like what doth you wanna unlock?

have ya killed death yet or have ya gotten the pile of secrets? How far are you through Castlevania?

[rain chasm]

Thanks. The characters I'm trying to unlock (John Morris and Lecarde, for example) require for me to upgrade the "Javelin".
I don't know how to find that weapon? The only one I got was the Santa Javelin

[twin kayak]

that's jonathan's starting weapon, you can find an unlock guide on the wiki for that part of the dlc

[ruby anchor]

Okay so.. It's been awhile, and helping my friend do the Ode. What exactly is the order to doing stuff? We're trying to get the ||pile of secrets to unlock Librarian's shop||, but we need to go bonk|| Beezlebub||, but we need all the gates. But we can't do that cause everywhere we try going for ||Beast and Serpent||, the areas are all locked, it's very confusing going in practically blinded lol

[torpid matrix]

have you triggered the throne room event with richter yet?

[ruby anchor]

NOPE LOL oop. And there's my guideline. Thank you LOL

[grizzled ocean]

so is ||shrine wizard|| bad or am i just bad?

[ionic viper]

I find characters with overhealing effects the hardest to use

Since there's no guarantee you'll get overhealing to trigger those effects at the beginning so you can easily die before you get the chance to utilize it

It seems like he's the type of character to benefit from and coat of arms along with his own union

[static sky]

Playing the Castlevania Adventure in Party Mode is such a rush. Especially when partying it up as the Trevor/Sypha/Grant/Alucard set up. Al's rocking the Knife--Thousand Edge---Valmanway-Million Cut set up(and murders crap when on the offensive. Plus it's tradition). Grant's tossing Holy Water everywhere and entrusted with the Infinite Corridor. Sypha is our Sanctuary. And Trevor is whipping it good with the family whip basically.

Although, Grant may get swapped out for Hector after the clock tower is done.

sorry Grant

[ruby anchor]

Hey everyone? Do we have an updated weapon evolution chart for all the new weapons in Ode?

[fathom orchid]

pinned in #💀survivors-spoilers / #1301999183368163442

[ruby anchor]

Ahh got it thank you 🙏

[grizzled ocean]

question

is there a bug where characters like elizabeth wont go into megalo form after the first time they do? on a run with elizabeth rn and it only happened once at the 1000 mark

i am at over 130k kills and it has only triggered once

[ruby anchor]

. _. how does one get 130k kills.

I'm lucky to do 80k by the time Death shows up

[fathom orchid]

good builds/arcana, charm, curse

[ruby anchor]

I get too afraid of touching curse lol

[grizzled ocean]

i do not wanna bug report without knowing for sure it is a bug but with ||olrox|| i was able to stay transformed until minute 23

are the thresholds for him different?

[fathom orchid]

no, they're the same across similar characters

[grizzled ocean]

would it be worth sending a bug report that i can't get elizabeth to transform after the first one happens?

[fathom orchid]

yea

def a bug with the character in general

getting the same results

[grizzled ocean]

bug report sent

[grizzled ocean]

Also, because it's probably important, added video and screenshots that ||olrox||, menya, and imposter all function correct

And a video of Elizabeth not

[fast knoll]

I feel that. There are two wolves inside me.
Wolf 1: Curse is good, because more enemies means more things dying, meaning I level up faster and my build comes online sooner.
Wolf 2: Curse is bad, because more stronger, tougher enemies means me dying because I got overwhelmed before my build came online.

[ionic viper]

Depends

Curse is very good on normal runs

But on inverse you're better off banishing it

But if your character is egged that's a diff story

[static cypress]

shouldn't this weapon evolve?

[fathom orchid]

You need 5 other (maxed out) evolutions

Along with the 6 maxed passives

[static cypress]

whatever?

[fathom orchid]

Yeah, as long as it’s the highest “tier” of evolution for that weapon (mainly for stuff like bracelet) and at max level if it has levels

[static cypress]

okay, thank u

[smoky fable]

karoma mana + charm option in power up

[static cypress]

what am i missing?

[fathom orchid]

||quite a few things. try going to the throne room as richter belmont for the ode to castlevania stuff :3||
for the EXTRA section, just brave story from space 54

[static cypress]

thanks!

[nocturne sequoia]

Anyone have a screenshot or pic of all the new evos?

[hexed sphinx]

to get master librarian, does it all need to be in one run or thruout?

ok i was just missing some bought stuff

epic

[fathom orchid]

It takes multiple runs

Rn it takes 37 weapons worth of gold spent because of an oversight

[tired fog]

What do I need to do before completing this quest? I entered and I couldn't see the throne room in the upper left.

[fathom orchid]

you just need to survive to 25:00 as richter with vampire killer (make sure it is NOT absorbed by alucard shield), then it'll teleport you to the throne room (otc event)

[tired fog]

okey thank you very much

Do I need to buy certain weapons or can I buy any weapon I want?

[fathom orchid]

you can use any other weapons

doesnt matter otherwise

[tired fog]

I didn't teleport anywhere. Where did I go wrong?

[torpid matrix]

you didnt evolve the alchemy whip

[tired fog]

I thought he wanted the undeveloped version since it said alchemical whip there. Thank you.

[torpid matrix]

^ it said vampire killer which is evolved alchemy whip

[tired fog]

I normally play the game in Turkish. They didn't have the evolved part because they did the Turkish translation wrong.

[chrome osprey]

are fake trio and astarte still bugged to unlock?

[fathom orchid]

yeah
fake trio cant be done at all and astarte cant be done on platforms that are on versions prior to 1.14.105, but even on that version it's bugged to be oddly specific

[chrome osprey]

good to know, was trying the whole day. Thanks for the info.

some videos have them unlocked

[fathom orchid]

some people just used spells

[pine rampart]

Quick question. All the new OtC characters got codes?

[fathom orchid]

yea

[pine rampart]

Ok. I would try to get them without that but I don't exactly got the time lately to get them rn. But if I find the time I'll try to get em without the codes. But first up ima do the new stages

I must 100% the game again lol.

Oh 1 last question

About the new adventure. Estimated time to complete? 3-5hrs?

[fathom orchid]

like 5-6+... abusing speedup and party mode

[pine rampart]

Very reasonable

It's the biggest adventure now

[twin kayak]

not dark lord soma but that's a skin

[lament stump]

How do u evo cloak lancer in this?

[ionic viper]

Gold and silver ring

[lament stump]

How do u get those?

In like the dlc

[ionic viper]

No

Base game

Beat stage 5

[lament stump]

And then they transfer over?

[ionic viper]

Wdym transfer?

They're locked by a relic

[lament stump]

Nvm I got it

[ionic viper]

Beat stage 5 and then beat the secret level

Be forewarned...the secret level is really hard unless you're playing certain characters

[pine rampart]

Yea ik that's tied to the adventure

Also about that skin. Anything special about it besides the look?

[fathom orchid]

some extra stats and extra might per level

[twin kayak]

starts with ebony diabologue, gives +2% might every level and more max hp

[pine rampart]

Hmm very nice

Ok that's actually kinda insane hmmm

[astral field]

OtC Adventure spoilers ||So I just got through True Infinite Corridor, successfully nabbed Richter from the coffin, but I'm still alive at like 6 minutes? I swear the time limit said like 2 minutes. Also, does anyone know if there's any way to actually reach this boss marker in the picture? I can't find a way to it.||

[smoky fable]

go straight left from where the master librarian is until you're directly above the boss, then directly go down

[astral field]

I don't have the librarian unlocked yet but I still figured it out, thanks!

[hexed sphinx]

to get "complete once the adventure ode to castlevania", what is the conditions? is it to get all the secret characters

[twin kayak]

get every unlock in the adventure

[hexed sphinx]

oh! damn ok

[wicked gazelle]

In the Castlevania adventure, does anyone know how I unlock or find The Sunken City?

[twin kayak]

evolve alchemy whip into vampire killer

[twin kayak]

is it just me or did they change the floor of the room with shuriken

ok yeah I'm pretty sure they did we might need a new version of this map if there are more visual changes like that

nevermind it wasn't changed on the actual milky way map

[twin kayak]

ok i just did a ghost lino run on otc and there were way more references than i thought (mostly sotn)

like between the gold ring and the curved knife you can see the human face tree from the sega saturn version of sotn

[pine rampart]

Do Axe Armor enemies count as ranged? Google says yes and no.

Also wiki says nothing about that

Just trying to target farm for a weapon to finish up 100%ing

[modern arch]

Even with the wiki i dont understand how to do this succes

[glossy topaz]

As Richter, evolve the vampire Killer. Head to the top-right room in the clocktower at 25:00 or more.

Enjoy.

[modern arch]

thank you so much

[smoky fable]

note: do NOT get the Alucard Shield if you're aiming for that one. If the Vampire Killer is absorbed the 25:00 scene would not trigger

[dusk crown]

Was there a spoiler channel for Castlevania?

[fathom orchid]

#1301999183368163442

[quaint shuttle]

Hey guys, do you have Any advice to unlock Jiangshi?

[fathom orchid]

You dont really want other weapons, since you have to let dark frogamorphosis eat the 5000 enemies.
cooldown and amount are important to increase how many enemies you eat. You also want curse and charm

[chrome osprey]

is this bugged?

whats missing?

[trail violet]

gemini globus

[chrome osprey]

thank you

[astral field]

what is it that im missing here? I have the morning star afaik

nvm i did have it unlocked i just hadnt actually used it yet lol

[torpid matrix]

(its actually spectral sword)

[wide jewel]

Is y'alls Castlevania map still crashing after the DLC update

[abstract trail]

okay so
is there a leda-style secret if i go down far enough in clock tower or am i wasting my time

[fathom orchid]

you're wasting your time

[tropic umbra]

Could the “pile of secrets” relic be a reference to dracula’s line in symphony of the night? (What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets? But enough talk, have at you!”

[trail violet]

yes it is

[tropic umbra]

Aww yeah that awesome

[cursive basin]

Is there a list of all the bugged unlocks for this DLC? Cause I tried to unlock ||Hammer|| but he didn't pop

[fathom orchid]

i dont believe hammer is bugged, i tested his unlock just fine

[twin kayak]

maybe the unions like carnage heart don't work

[fathom orchid]

it's not really "bugged" moreso just outdated, since none of the new unions/new things count.
also make sure you're evolving 6 ode to castlevia weapons

[cursive basin]

Is he one of those thagt requires collecting the Pile of Secrets then or no?

[fathom orchid]

ALL of the secrets need it

[cursive basin]

Oh

I know what I was doing wrong now

[white gust]

Not surviving to the end or using the vanilla weapons from the coat?

[maiden lake]

Folks I have the four parts of the clock tower weapon unlocked and fully max levelled out but no chest will evolve it into the clock tower for me, is there something I'm missing?

[fathom orchid]

if you've gotten clock tower before, you may have accidentally sealed it.
also note that not every chest can evolve. assuming you have the yellow sign, any chest that's silver can evolve

[maiden lake]

Oh my god. I had sealed it. I'm an idiot

[vague geyser]

Any tips why when I try do the 100k kills with a character its not unlocking the evolved for?

Like does it need to be solo?

[twin kayak]

It might be that the specific character needs to be the one doing the 100000 kills

and also it has to be on otc

[vague geyser]

Ye i had 340k kills with him and nothing

Full transformed

[twin kayak]

were you on castlevania map

[vague geyser]

Yes

[twin kayak]

ok that's weird

maybe it does require not having another character

[vague geyser]

Was doing the werewolf guy

[twin kayak]

ok just checking again were the 340k kills on cornell at the end or for everyone

[vague geyser]

For cornell

[twin kayak]

ok so try doing it without party mode, it might be bugged

[vague geyser]

It happened the same with trying to do dracula mega form

[twin kayak]

yeah they're probably programmed the same way

[fathom orchid]

They are

[vague geyser]

So those forms have to do on solo?

[fathom orchid]

All of them

I’ll test later but it’s probably just co-op (including party mode) being buggy with unlocks on some platforms

[vague geyser]

Ye was in a coop i was doing Cornell friend was doing dracula and another was doing the gorgon

Was on pc

[twin kayak]

maybe the game can't track multiple at the same time

[vague geyser]

ye it was solo needed

[vague geyser]

redid it on solo and it worked

[feral whale]

They ever fix unlocking Astarte? I unlocked her on the PlayStation version but can’t seem to on the Switch?

[twin kayak]

the switch version might not have the patch yet

[feral whale]

Also in above circumstances if I entered the code to unlock her would that make the secret completed? If not if they release a fix later on would I be able to complete the secret even though I already unlocked her by code?

[twin kayak]

using a spell for a secret does check the secret.

[fathom orchid]

Using the spell would give you the check for doing it, yes

[twin kayak]

the patch should come at some point in the near future, it's already out on steam and some others, but some platform need verification before an update can be released

[feral whale]

Ok so there isn’t any harm in using a spell in this circumstance. I like completing everything myself but I wouldn’t feel like I missed much considering how easy her unlock was

[tropic basin]

Leon belmont's hands are reversed and it is bugging me

[twin kayak]

he's facing backwards

[tropic basin]

Hes holding the whip his guard hand

[mystic folio]

I did it today with the grass hoper, tree can work as well but it has to much area. You should turn off limit break as it increase damage and area of the garlic effects. I also maxed out curse so the enemies are more tanky and not die instantly from Aoe

For early survivability to make any char immortal u can use the one that freezes enemies when u get low health. This will boost your own health alot and especially good to get quickly growth and alot of levels

Especially on emerald character since the get like -145% cooldown during it

I let it afk on hyper with x3 speed for 120 Minutes to be safe, and yeah also pick gemini and firing twice arcana

[lyric comet]

I went through this map multiple times to the throne room now and i only just realized i missed half the map and bosses

[quaint shuttle]

120 minutes? I will try, so with megalo menya I couldn't 🙁

[mystic folio]

irl time is like 30 mintes afk

or bit more

[valid totem]

howdy, i've been playing through the OTC adventure and i really like the animated menu background, is it rule 11 if i ask if anyone knows how i can get my hands on the raw image file so i can possibly use it as a desktop wallpaper :3? All I've been able to find on my own so far is a reference in the wiki to an asset unpacker on Github but I'm running Bazzite Linux and don't really know how to run the .bat script X-X

[scarlet oracle]

Guess we need another character update by the end of this year to this dlc. Looking forward to this next hero

[glossy topaz]

what is bestiary #32 in the adventure

[foggy patrol]

Has anyone unlocked all ~96 characters from the DLC yet?

[trail violet]

yes

[twin kayak]

yes, all of the unlock conditions are on the wiki

[foggy patrol]

peak

im most of the way there

i have like 15 left to go or smth

[twin kayak]

some of them are quite cryptic

[foggy patrol]

has the sword one got an actual unlock condition or is it still broken?

[foggy patrol]

true

[twin kayak]

||ruler sword's intended condition is to use the spell||

[foggy patrol]

fairdos

i still dont have most of the mega versions yet tho

or stuff like garoth i think hes called

[twin kayak]

||galamoth?||

[foggy patrol]

yeah

[twin kayak]

yeah his is the most nonsensical hint in my opinion

[foggy patrol]

i dont have the ones like him and succubus yet

[twin kayak]

it basically just says "do something with a big thing"

[foggy patrol]

ik how to do them tho

atleast for succubus i do

[twin kayak]

but yeah the ones that require killing enemies with specific weapons are simple to do

it's just the whole knowing what to to part that can be difficult

[foggy patrol]

i think galamoth is actually one of these if i remember correctly

[twin kayak]

correct

also it just occured to me that most of these messages would need to be spoilered

[foggy patrol]

im just not a huge fan of those sorta ones, same with the mega ones

that makes sense

[twin kayak]

yeah they're a bit tedious but the reward is pretty cool

[foggy patrol]

they just feel like afk simulator

[twin kayak]

it's mostly just get thing go to place wait

[foggy patrol]

i just tend to run fleaman and see how far i get

its how i got axe armour and stuff

[twin kayak]

that's quite the challenge

[foggy patrol]

with eggs but yeah

[twin kayak]

oh

[foggy patrol]

even then its relatively difficult to

[twin kayak]

how many eggs

[foggy patrol]

i tried without em

[foggy patrol]

like 500-1000

[twin kayak]

ok that's pretty low but it does help with max hp a bit

[foggy patrol]

yeah

i just wanted him to be equal to rest of them in smth

i wanted to see how i could do with game killer and stuff

[twin kayak]

game killer is pretty interesting, just very risky

[foggy patrol]

yeah

its why i find fleaman fun

i gotta actively play for him to work

[twin kayak]

not interacting with a main mechanic kinda kills the game's unchallengingness

[foggy patrol]

the curse add from the eggs is nice too making it more difficult

[twin kayak]

you could even say it's a game killer

[foggy patrol]

yeah

i do main fleaman mostly btw

he is just really fun to play

[twin kayak]

fair

[foggy patrol]

hes reverse peppino if u think about it

[twin kayak]

true, peppino does get extra magnet to level up more

[foggy patrol]

mhm

[foggy patrol]

the main difference between them is, fleaman u need to move and constantly, peppino just cant

[twin kayak]

you can move with the powerup and the passive

[foggy patrol]

yeah

hes very slow to move either way

[twin kayak]

also, if you want to move constantly, babi onna (moonspell) and ||jiangshi|| (castlevania secret) are designed around that

[foggy patrol]

i also find jiangshi fun

[twin kayak]

babi onna is like jiangshi but the mechanic is way better but you can't attack without using it

[foggy patrol]

yeah

both are fun i just prefer how jiangshi looks

[twin kayak]

that's fair. the hopping demon is pretty silly

[foggy patrol]

exactly

[supple atlas]

So I decided to do a run where I evolve all of the Spectral Sword weapons in one run because said Spectral Sword doesn't seem to be in my collection even though all of the weapons and their evolutions are, and around the 33-35 minute mark, the game freezes on my Steam Deck -_-

Doesn't help that Hail From the Future refused to give any Candyboxes except for one, so here I was limit breaking to insane levels trying to get another Candybox so I could get an Alucart Sworb.

[fathom orchid]

Keep in mind that just because something isn’t in the collection doesn’t mean you don’t have it unlocked. You’d have to pick the selector in a run/start with it to get it in the collection

[supple atlas]

Yeah, selecting Johnathon Morris allowed me to have him start with the Spectral Sword, and after I played a few minutes, it unlocked the achievement I wanted to unlock with it.

[scarlet oracle]

So what are the chances of us getting the new girl from Belmont’s curse this year?

[torpid matrix]

pretty low

[smoky fable]

because it was outsourced? now I think about it, we don't have outsourced chars in the cv dlc, eithed

[nimble coyote]

Right, no Gabriel Belmont (Reboot Dracula) because that was a second-party studio Castlevania.

[smoky fable]

There were ||aeon, desmond belmont, and kid dracula|| in the datamine but not gabriel
idk if those games are outsourced too
and tbf it was reboot
this new game said curse of darkness is still canon

[calm sierra]

Where can I find the Ode to Castlevania's album somewhere other than YouTube? The sound quality on YouTube is kinda trash.

[surreal plover]

So far I've been enjoying the DLC but I'll give my full thoughts on it once I finish up all the content plus the extra content

Anyways I'm assuming this is going to be for the next October update or something

[glad bobcat]

The finale for the castlevania adventure is great. 10/10, love my silly game of silliness

[smoky fable]

poncle already said license was the only obstacle from making them actually playable in the game before

[hushed monolith]

um so I found that using secret character ||Persephone|| you can avoid triggering the Atlanteans: ||https://youtu.be/6Sicmq7EeRg||

Probably not intended but super cool that it worked

[near ibex]

I assume this is a hardstuck right?

[fathom orchid]

pretty sure, yeah

[high jacinth]

Huh, this is a really neat find
wonder whether it not it’s intentional that the atlanteans don’t even spawn after you collect the item

[twin kayak]

when you don't have mad groove, they appear when you get close enough to them. if you do have mad groove, they instead appear when you take them.

[high jacinth]

No, there's definitely a range at which Persephone's vacuum passive 'sucks' in metaglios/rings without spawning a corresponding Atlantean (it's somewhat tight though)
Might be a bug more so than a feature, as the Atlantean won't spawn at all even if you approaching the original location thereafter

[high jacinth]

Looks like the Atlantean will still spawn if you enter its 'area' without first collecting the item (even if you've fully removed the item from said area)
So without Mad Groove, it's basically akin to a 'trap' from Dairy Plant/Gallo Tower/etcetera, except with a much larger radius (albeit not triggering if you've already Persephone'd + collected/discarded the item)

[twin kayak]

that's because the atlanteans appear when you get close to where the passives normally are unless you have mad groove

[high jacinth]

I apologize if I misinterpreted your statement

[scarlet oracle]

There are some really fun weapons in this DLC

Just played as John Morris and the Iron Ball is extremely fun.

They should really consider that the new Teabagging in gaming.

[smoky fable]

ah yes castlevania megalo forms.... the only megalo forms you couldn't unlock from playing adventures

[supple atlas]

Finally finished the Ode to Castlevania adventure and finished all the OTC achievements (though I've still got a ton of characters from the DLC to unlock)

I still need to redo the Among Us and Contra DLC's, since I had done them before on mobile, but had to decide between my mobile save or my Switch save, and decided redoing the other DLC's would be less time-consuming than redoing the Castlevania DLC.

[ebon jolt]

Ok so this is more of a castlevania lore post then an ode to castlevania post, but a reddit post i saw today made me go HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW DID I MISS THIS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3sM6C4llsc&t=555s

Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence is a secret room in the game Portrait of Ruin. Just above Dracula's throne room, there is a hidden room showcasing three sculptures: one has a dragon, a woman and a child, representing Dracula, Lisa and Alucard. After that, there's a winged skeleton, and then the same sculpture of the Tepes family but with the woman violently decapitated. This could be considered Death's confession.

And this might be me looking too much into it, but the room with this in is above Draculas throne room.

The truth is literaly going over dracula's head.

And to tie it into here, given the role of death in Ode, this kinda tracks

[stiff valley]

Honestly this dlc was so well done

[unkempt jay]

I finished the boss fight in the DLC again

https://tenor.com/view/its-peak-old-man-shaking-head-gif-3938163323164042530

I cried just like I did when it came out

[drifting nest]

I unlock the music selection, im in heaven

[feral whale]

In adventure’s in the entrance corridor anyone else come across an invisible enemy. Health just starts dropping even though you haven’t been hit?

[trail violet]

if youre in the beta make a bug report about it in #1081229139304005653

[feral whale]

I’m not in beta

Only reason I know it’s an invisible enemy is the vampire killer’s special attack hits it but nothing is there. It never dies the entire stage

[trail violet]

its definitely a bug yeah, it would just go in #1032278277483671552 then

[feral whale]

Ok thanks

[long ingot]

Hello, can i have some help with the progression in the dlc?

How do i unlock the black disk?

[torpid matrix]

||you need to unlock richter first, then play as richter and go to the throne room at top right of the stage to trigger an event||

[long ingot]

/spoiler But i can't unlock Isaac, the wiki says that i need the black disk to unlock Isaac, and i need Isaac for the progression to unlock Richter, i'm stuck with this step, i also evolved the Mace but nothing happened

[royal hamlet]

I have the same problem

[torpid matrix]

you dont need that? richter is unlocked by evolving guardian's targe

unless you're checking the wrong wiki or something

here's the official pre-black disk guide

[long ingot]

Ohhh thank you, this was very helpful

[cloud geyser]

Will there be more BGMs like Cross Your Heart and Opus 13 in the future?

[fathom orchid]

depends if they do an "ode to castlevania 3.0/++," but that's probably not too likely

[severe root]

Couldn't it happen since there's a bunch of unused characters in the code still?

[fathom orchid]

Afaik, those characters would be more troublesome to get the rights to. A lot of them also have their passives used elsewhere so

[cloud geyser]

We want Kid Dracula in the update

[smoky fable]

i want Aeon.
I still find it entertaining poncle doesn't bother wih lord of shadows despite he did bother with order of shadows

[scarlet oracle]

I’d like to see the new characters join later on. I’ll cause havoc with Joan if she gets in the game.

Light it up like she’s AJ Lee

[drifting nest]

Soneone play Ode to Castlevania, Coop for Ps5

[drifting nest]

I'm having trouble developing Sypha Belnades' Ice Fang spellbook because I'm a really bad player.
It has a very long cooldown, and it would help a lot to play in 4-player coop for PS5.
I use passive items and randomazo cards (Gemini , Jail crystal , Spellbinder and Empty Tome ) but I'm failing to choose a good weapon for the beginning of the level.

[drifting nest]

https://tenor.com/view/puss-in-boots-cat-cute-kitty-begging-gif-204103653485036782

[scarlet oracle]

I can’t play with you because I just had a kid, but I think using the archana that gives you 3 lives is something I selected at the beginning of the stage.

Also, on that first level up, I’d select something like a good whip, knives, or any other item that fires quickly.

Then try to get the empty tome and go from there

Also, what stage are you playing on with her?
