Can You Beat Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night with Only Summons?

Rare is the game that gives summons the love and respect that they deserve. While I knew it had at least a good handful, I didn't expect to have such a joy of a time with them. Especially in a metroidvania of all things. I suppose it goes to show just how wonderful the indie game market can be.

I am all for Spud's MetroidVania arc.

It still feels so weird! I stand by that I'm not a fan of the genre, but each game that I've tried within it recently has been an incredible experience.

I love Bloodstained RotN so much, easily one of my absolute favorite games. I love the magic in the game so much, it's easily one of my favorite Magic systems and easily my favorite Metroidvania I've ever played. Also side note about the Dragon you found while procrastinating the Vampire Boss, I two shot him with Va Schia in my own Personal Playthrough. Just a funny story I thought I'd share.

@@SpuddyCube well I'm here! And it was a treat to come along, although I did have to miss cigars and whiskey back in dunwall! Still I hope my summoning was of good moral support on this strange adventure. And what was with that room, how did it become a snake? By the outsider I've never seen something like that!

It's a really good Metroidvania, made by Koji "Iga" Igarashi, Lead Producer for much of Castlevania, who split off from Konami when they started focusing more on gacha and pachinko games while he wanted to keep making great metroidvanias.

@SpuddyCube 2 ай бұрын

If farming/Metroidvanias are at all within your interests, then I would highly recommend it. That does come with the caveat that I would recommend picking it up on sale if you can. I personally got it in a Humble Bundle, as it's fairly expensive for an indie game. Possibly still worth it, mind you, but expensive. Also, I really need to go back and rewatch the old Garfield cartoons just for nostalgia's sake.

there was a prequel game made by inti creates (one of the best studios) called bloodstained curse of the moon which explains a lot of the characters such as gebel alfred and zangetsu (who is the mc of that game) it’s a very fun shorter game that’s reminiscent of classic nes games(with modern gameplay)

Bloodstained is really fun, even if it can get really dumb at times. Glad to hear you mostly enjoyed your time with it. Also, if you ever wanna fight Bael _without_ the ham spam, just focus on the head that Dominique is attached to; the other two heads are only incidental and can revive after a short time.

16:50 ive seen bell setups like that before, though usually in an even more open area. multiple huge bells would ring loud enough so that a whole town could hear them, they would ring a number of times to indicate the time, as clocks used to be hard to come by and expensive. also they would ring repeatedly in case of a raid or invasion.

@mirkwood579 2 ай бұрын

Nice challenge run- And yeah, the final bosses are fairly easy if you've spent a lotta time grinding like the game encourages. However, if you ever try to speedrun it, with it without the built in randomizer, they get significantly more difficult. (The randomizer is also kinda broken since sometimes it will softlock you by putting the Zangetsuto past the moon portal you need to open it... But it's pretty fun if that doesn't happen. Using full random progression and same type shuffle options usually works, but you'll have to find Dimension Shift from one of the enemies that drops a purple shard, and with that and the Zangetsuto you can reach the end of the game. The sword also is half the time in a breakable floor entrance hidden room in the cathedral area I think to try to not have that softlock you. In case you wanted to try it for yourself.)

For cutting the moon you can actually use invert to stand on the ceiling giving you an easier time

Honestly for how jarring the invert ability was/how good her other movement abilities are, I kind of forgot that it was an option.

I think the pigs are the only thing more busted than the ghost in the final fight since they bounce more. Also there is an accessory that gives you infinite mana. Gebels Glasses. Now I apparently had those when I decided to play this game with a mage build and at no point did I think to use them or even look up what they might do since the game doesn't tell you they give you unlimited mana. I just did the ape thing and went with higher numbers = better.

@duckyduckington9736 2 ай бұрын

can you do a video of you 100%ing nioh? I want to see it because it'd be silly to watch you deal with the bullshit that comes with having to 100% nioh. Best of luck if you do it, I can only pray for your success. (Also do the dlc's, they are fuckin amazing. The bosses feel bullshit until you lock in and feel them out and find out "oh this guy gets demolished by ____" and then you enjoy it way more) Very fun game.

Whatever you do: play hollow knight. i just completed the game on 112%. i picked it back up after some while and my god it is still the Best game i have ever played. yes it is Hard and yes i am very Bad at it, but i enjoyed every Minute. the atmosphere is insane, the music is insane, the bossdesign is insane (besides grey prince zote, we dont talk about that) and the City of tears is my favourite place in any videogame. i dont know what run you have in mind, but please, Do it!
