Try getting your skeleton friend to fish that book out for you.
>>384553523
What filter is this?
one thing i didnt like in aria was that bosses didn't have souls
>>384554062
Bones it's not my friend and It seems like he can't reach it either
What do
>>384554574
It'd make 100% runs more of a living hell then they already are. Especially so if you go into the game with the mindset of "I'll beat this game normally THEN collect the stuff later" when you've already killed all the bosses.
>>384554701
but in dawn of sorrow bosses had souls and were guaranteed to drop
I don't think the lore can go any deeper
>>384554395
Castlekino filter.
>>384554757
Well I'm sure if they were in Aria they would be random chance like every other soul in the game.
>>384553843
Honestly I never played DoS, but everyone tells me it's solid.
>>384554817
They did, for bosses that don't show up later as regular enemies are guaranteed soul drops like death and headhunter
>>384554574
What the hell are you talking about? I specifically remember having Headhunter and Manticore and Balore and Legion and so on souls.
I mean, I remember their effects and everything, even though I haven't played the game in ages.
>>384554847
What is the website where you got that filter?
If Konami was smart (though they clearly aren't) they would release either a PC or PS4 version of this.
Is this the most kino moment in all of videogames?
>>384555140
what is this even supposed to be? I'm at a loss
>>384555262
>oh great, yet another Giant Bat fight in a Castlemania game
>OH SHIT
>oh, it's just another Balore fight
>HOLY FUCK
truly a rollercoaster of masterfully defied expectations. also, a skeleton.
>>384555116
They probably think we're not stupid enough to buy that shit a third time.
>>384553523
Castley so.
>>384555262
It's up there.
>>384555682
Worth a try
This meme is kino
>>384555568
Why did they need Balore in DoS? It's soul is only useful in one area and useless in the rest of the game.
>>384554062
Why is this skeleton a meme? Quick rundown pls
>>384555682
May as well.
What's last digit of date I was born? January 18 for instance would be an 8? Is that how it is?

Shilling this because I've been having a lot of fun with it. Random items/souls/shop and required souls for good ending.
Also, Aria best vania. SotN close second.
obligatory
>>384557506
When B^Uones attack
>>384554856
It makes much needed quality of life improvements to Aria but the castle design is absolute garbage and the drop rates are atrocious; far worse than in Aria.
>>384557447
I tried this one, but doing a no grinding drop only run is just far more challenging and fun.
>>384557287
There is now.
>>384554062
What a calcified bro.

And I was about to call it a day after more than 12 hours of making creaking skull shops. How's this?
>>384561424
Now it's pure kino
>>384557705
Also they skipped on the art and story assets which hurts the overall presentation quite a bit, despite somewhat better gameplay
Has anyone made creaking skull out of lego?
>>384561595
No one likes the anime portraits but Dawn has by far the best sprite work of the DS games and it was a massive improvement from Aria. PoR was significantly downgraded by comparison.
>>384557447
Tried this last thread on a new seed and though I was fucked since the game only gave me flying armor/black panther/down slide. Luckily found the double jump on an area I thought I covered. Back to exploran with my muramasa
>>384561424
You are one hell of a guy, Anonymous.
>>384561687
In what way is DoS's spritework notably better than the other DS games?

sauce?
>>384561909
Need an animation comparison.
>>384561895
By having much more detail and being much more fluidly animated. If you straight up compare them it's like night and day. The axe armours are the most obvious comparison with how crap the PoR/OoE versions are, but it applies all around. There's also the matter of Dawn having all new sprites, while PoR and OoE reuse many.
>>384562414
I wish I had them.
Want to figure out if someone has played OoE or not? Show them this image. If it triggers their PTSD, then they have.
>>384563196
Stay out of the searchlights, dummy.
Why does the weapon balance suck so much in SotN?
Does it get improved in the later games?
I've been using the Combat Knife for what it feels like 80% of the game so far.
>>384563196
I beat it on hard level 1 cap way back when, and I don't even know why I would be triggered.
>>384563439
Because you're dumb and you've forgotten.
t. has also beaten it on hard level 1
>>384563196
>>384563196
This fuckers are too fast but the niggers walking on hammers are much much worse
>>384563392
It was pretty screwed up in my last playthrough. I managed to sequence break through the clock tower after the wall by using wolf form on stairs. I got a Holy Sword as a random drop from one of the knights there. It had twice the attack power of any weapon I had found up until that point, and it was even stronger because most enemies are weak against holy.
Then in the inverted castle, the fifth Schmoo I killed dropped a Crissaegrim. Was easy mode from then on out.
>>384563505
>Because you're dumb and you've forgotten.
Well yeah, but if it were something all that bad, I feel like I'd remember.
>>384563392
>Does it get improved in the later games?
Yes, absolutely.
SotN is the only game in the series that's so completely and totally broken.
>>384563392
Because combat knife allows you to go really fast, so you can position yourself well, its a lot of damage.
SOTN is also the only game in the series with such a radical difference in weapons.
>>384554785
too spoopy 4 me
>>384556082
the breakable blocks show up in a few more areas, but it is very under-utilised.
>>384556714
Make these skeletons stop fighting!!
>>384565194
Skeletons exist to fight.
Someone said I should try replaying AoS with a luck cheat so you can just fuck around with whatever soul you want.
So should I? Do I just use a max luck cheat or something specific?

It's just further proof that Castlevania is a terrible ripoff.
In Metroid it makes sense because the 2D plane implies that the passages are narrow both ways, so Samus can't fit in without turning into a ball.
Castlevania, nope, just slide under there. He could've literally just laid on his belly and it would have been easier to fit. What a joke.
I don't keep up with Castlevania. Why is Aria suddenly popping back up? Did it get a free release on the eshop? A cool speedrun?
>>384579407
Castlevania got a Netflix show, so discussion has really gone up about the series.
Otherwise all these posts about AoS are just one really bored person trying to run a meme into the ground.
>>384579407
Television show is bringing newcomers (read: children) to the series.
Soma is basically a donut steel: trenchcoat wearing gaijin vampire teenager lord of darkness living in nippon.
Spritework limitations of GBA make creaking skull look a little strange (for children who didn't have GBA) when you encounter him.
>>384557447
What incredible luck.
>>384580004
Soma is basically a donut steel: trenchcoat wearing gaijin vampire teenager lord of darkness living in nippon.
it's a fur coat, not a trenchcoat

Is there any way to use this with hard mode? Aside from the obvious beating the created game once first.
>>384582271
Copy the save to patched rom. Start new game.

I guess that should have been obvious.
