About the names, all of the non-human bosses and a good chunk of the enemies are named after demons from the Ars Goetia, or the Lesser Key of Solomon, a 16th century grimoire detailing 72 demons and how to summon them. The Buer enemies, the lion heads circled with legs, look identical to their Lesser Key inspirations, too.

45:30 For anyone curious about the game not telling you where to go. It actually does, if you go back and talk to Dominic and co. The book cases and some of the cast also eventually tell you about Zangetsuto's cutting abilities even though getting the sword is optional. So there's clues and hints. But it requires you to go out of your way to hear them.

Also, Zangetsu’s name in Japanese (which is explained when you actually get the sword) further implies his ability and the purpose of his sword: To cut the moon.

@CptBrian 4 жыл бұрын

Nah there's a few times where it literally doesn't tell you anything. I think it's bugged. I'd go back to Dom or other NPCs several times just to get hints and they wouldn't say anything new. Had to look up where to go multiple times. Also the whole moon cleaving thing with Zangetsuto is very stupid, because the option to cleave the moon only exists at the very end of the fight, which you can accidentally damage through or very easily not notice for that 1 second(or less) the option is available, as you're probably too busy smashing away at Gebel. That bit was terribly designed. Having to grind for the water shard was questionable design but I didn't hate it, however needing to get that hidden armor for spikes was pretty stupid. And the grind for 100% is just incredibly boring. I don't mind grind, hell I've played tons of RS, but that grind was extremely unpleasant.

If I remember correctly, most of Iga's Castlevania games had several endings, depending on how you progressed. In Dawn of Sorrow, if you skipped Paranoia boss and killed Dario, the game ended right there, but if you got the Paranoia Soul and used it during the Dario fight, you could fight Agni instead and it would let you progress to the rest of the game.

13:08 interesting, I use weapons more than shard magics. The rheva velar, the flying sword (that boomerangs back to you) and the blue rose late game. But usually the rhevas. The offensive shard I use most is true arrows, then the chisel you get from the carpenter in late game. Miriam has like a million chisels in her back pocket lol. Augment Luck shard, bunny clothing and luck up rings - all to boost luck for critical hits and drops. But i love the game gives you a lot of freedom. You could play thru it 100x+ using different combos of weapons and shards.

Good run. I knew what was going on with the Gebel fight - obviously he's another Richter/Albus/etc. and not true true enemy of the game - but I couldn't figure out how to get past it. Even after getting the Zangetsu sword, for some reason it wasn't clicking for me until I saw it on Google. In SotN you actually get end credits after the bad ending, but this time they make it very obvious that there's more to the game. Also, I had the Aegis armor but didn't know I could use it to bypass the spikes, so I just tanked them with a lot of food. Lol.

11:00 I'm guessing it's his moving back and forth, the boss always stay in place if you stay at long range, so timing the back and forth with his movement should keep him still. You can basically stand still (or do short hops for cancelling attacks) and hit the boss with a whip or any other big weapon and the boss can't do anything. I discovered this on my first playthrough of the game Sidenote: Getting the shard from Deeseama isn't a big problem for casual playthroughs as you do get a quest to kill a bunch of them and with their relatively high drop chance most players will get the shard for underwater traversal by just playing the game normally...unless you decide to skip doing the quests that is.

I've had the AI do that on Glass Hand, likely the boss' AI reacts at a certain point of approach. To me it does seem like a bug. If you notice the hand turns back around to face him each time he turns back around. He jumps away and then drifts back to the right and then jumps away again. I'm guessing the programmers messed up how the aggro works for Glass hand with a very very specific circumstances to activate the broken AI.

Also the sword you get from Zangetsu is followed by a cutscene of him telling you to strike the moon when fighting Gebal. Even mentioning that you won't be able to straight away and it'll only be when Gebal starts to weaken. So yeah... It's not as random as some of Iga's earlier works for getting through the game.
