So i am almost done with the game, just need all weapons and accesories to have evert base game achievements, but do i need some dlc or deluxe version to get the non base game achievs?

So I just beat the first boss, went into the town lowered the gate to walk across, then went underground immediately and got to a save room. I overwrite the save from before i went down and I cannot jump up high enough to get back to where I dropped from. I went fully down there’s a teleport room and water I can’t fully dive down into I don’t know how to get back up top

It's practically Castlevania for NES with one or two changes. I tought that the only reference was the first level and boss, but the entire game is just a remake of the first CV

i've been stuck at this for a while iidk where to get the last .10

As most of you probably know, OD the librarian only appears in RotN if you're playing as Miriam. To celebrate the new year of 2024 though, ArtPlay released an illustration of him and Bloodless standing back to back. It got my imagination running: how would the two vampires interact if they met in a game? This is what I came up with.

Bloodless finds OD in the library. Their conversation goes like this:

OD: A fellow vampire. I assume you're the one that the novelists call Bloodless?

Bloodless: Yes... I need more blood.

OD: I'm Orlok Dracule, the overseer of this place. It's a library, not a blood bank nor a torture dungeon.

Bloodless: Oh, I never saw the fun in books.

OD: The books in here are more than words on paper. They're magical tomes that impart power to their readers.

Bloodless: How delightful! But please tell me I don't have to memorize all those pages?

OD: Whether or not you read what you borrow, I expect you to handle it with respect. Books borrowed from a library must be returned in pristine condition, not covered in bodily fluids.

OD: I hope something here awakens the reader in you.

Bloodless borrows a book and secretly "enhances" it with blood magic. She returns it and gets this response:

OD: This tome smells of blood. You haven't tinkered with it, have you?

Bloodless: ...

OD: I warned you. Books from a library are not toys for you to deface. I can reverse whatever you did to this one, but next time, I won't forgive you.

Bloodless: I'm so, so sorry, OD.

Her internal monologue: (This one is more clever than I thought.)

In a game, you could have the "defacing books" thing as the trigger that makes him fight her like he fights Miriam. But that's getting into game dev territory.

Of course the vast majority of the boss fights in a new game should be likewise brand new, but I also cannot deny that a returning boss has its own charm, just too see what's the same and what new spin the developers gave them. To be fair, the most probable boss to ever return is Gremory, simply because she has made an appearence in every single game so far, but I'm curious to know what are you guys's picks.

To refresh the memory, lets go down the list:

• Curse of the Moon: It introduced 9 boss fights, 11 if one considers the second phases of two of them as separate encounters.
  • Glutton Train
  • Focalor
  • Valefar
  • Valac
    • Valac's 2nd form
  • Andrealphus
  • Bloodless
  • Bathin
  • Gremory
    • Gremory's 2nd form
  • Corrupted Zangetsu
• Ritual of the Night: It introduced 20 fights, 21 if counting the DLC IGA, 23 considering the two crossover bosses introduced with free updates, and 27 if one considers the "bosses-in-mook clothings" from the locked rooms and Kunekune. 7 of these fights are against familiar faces from CotM, but with their own differences.
  • Vepar
  • Zangetsu
  • Craftwork
  • Andrealphus
  • Glutton Train
  • Valac
  • Bathin
  • Abyssal Guardian
  • Gebel
  • Bloodless:
  • Alfred
  • Doppelganger
  • Orobas
  • True Zangetsu
  • Valefar
  • Gremory
  • Dominique
  • Bael
  • Eight Bit Overlord
  • Orlok Dracule
  • IGA
  • Breeder
  • Guardian
  • Revenant
  • Master Carpenter
  • Millionaire's Bane
  • Kunekune
• Zangetsu Mode: It first introduced only 1 new boss fight, against Miriam; while she shares much in common with the Doppleganger fight, she has a couple of tricks up her sleeve that makes the encounter different enough.
• Classic mode: It saw the reimagining of some of the base game's common enemies as bosses, as well as a different spin on some of the returning regular bosses.
  • Giant Bat
  • Giant Dullahammer Head
  • Doppleganger(s)
  • Wolfman & Simian
  • Gremory
  • Gebel
  • Dominique
• Dominique's Curse: It features 5 main boss fights, 9 if one counts the Hunter semi-optional fights. 8 of these fights are against foes already seen at this point, particularly base RotN, but with a couple of exceptions.
  • Bathin
  • Valefar
  • Focalor: Interestingly he has essentially two variations on his boss fight, as the arena will be radically different depending if he is faced against before or after acquiring True Sight.
  • Gremory
  • Bael
  • Master Carpenter
  • Silver Wolfman (giant): The only required Hunter fight, apart fo his damage output, it's the presence of infinite Celaenos e Gusions that makes it different from regular Silver Wolfmen.
  • Hunter Barber
  • Revenant
• Curse of the Moon 2: It introduced 10 boss fights, 11 if one considers the giant space-dragon-like enemy during the Flying Armor sequence, and 13 if one considers the second phases of two of them as separate encounters. 2 of these foes were familiar faces, with the fight against one of them in particular being completely different from the previous clash.
  • Drago-Symbiote
  • Lubius
  • Gladiator Dozer
  • Vepar
    • Vepar's 2nd form
  • Lavamandra
  • Titankhamum
  • Gremory
  • "Beelzebub": Alongside the "Moon Guardian", we actually do not know the name of this guy.
    • "Beelzebub"'s 2nd form
  • Mephisto
  • "Moon Guardian": Alongside "Beelzebub", we do not know the name of this guy. Furthermore, because how it is fought, this demon is perhaps one of the biggest, and most unique, encounters so far.
  • Sariel

Personally, I would love to see some of the guys from Curse of the Moon 2 to make a re-appearence; not only because I'm curious how the developers would change them, particularly if they have to adapt them to a 3D enviroment, but also I can't pass on an opportunity to finally have a definitive answer on the official names for the beelzebub-looking dude and the giant space dragon.

Also, still on the topic of "returning faces", another boss fight I would be interested to see would be an encounter, either as a friendly spar or otherwise, against Johannes, mostly because he is the only main character from RotN that is never fought, and because I'm curious to see how he handles himself in battle (he is the apprentice of Alfred afterall).

Can i even use blood steal against Bael

Im really struggling with zangetsu(2nd fight) and ım level 25 . I feel like ı have to level up but ı dont wanna spend a whole day just to level up

Because IM stuck at the bridge of evil pls help if any Khow how to go past the door

Since she takes damage while in it, i was thinking that maybe she has upgrade later that allows her to go in it or that at least one section could have something for her.

people keep saying its good and not saying what it does exactly i can gather that its a defensive spell but it never seems to work when i try it

Didn't know where else to ask this so...

How is Gebel holding his arms in his idle / walking sprite? We can see in his attack animation his left arm is hanging on the side and his his right hand just openen his cape to unleash his 3 bat attack.

Does that mean he usually has his right arm holding the cape over his chest and then his left arm over that? Similar to the typical "Vampire sleep" pose where they cross their arms over their chest?

I also thought he is doing a classic (non vampire) arms crossed gesture but it doesn't quite look like that.

Also in both cases I think it would look weird walking like that.

Their maybe a way right now to move the barrier? I tried looking everywhere else to see if theurs anywhere else I could go first, however to me it seems that in order to progress I have to move it. But I don't know how and don't understand the instructions when I "click" on the book shelf. Th is the mobile version.
