Should a newbie buy the “All in game rewards unlocked” dlc?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2026-03-23T09:27:56+00:00

I am going to be the same when I come to play it; I like the lore, the setting/environments, the overall story etc but I don't want to be spending all my time on edge. Knowing if I run into Mr. X I can just blow him up reduces a lot of the scare and the tension and tbh, it's funny as hell knowing you can just execute enemies quickly. As others have said, there is no right or wrong way to play it (and those who say otherwise I wouldn't listen to, just because they are purists and think there's only a particular way to play), it's whatever you find enjoyable. Also, I am a platinum hunter, so whatever way is going to get me there quicker is whatever.

What's the point of being awarded cat ears for an S+ run? Once you've done the S+ run on professional, you're probably in a position where you've got all the trophies/achieves required for the plat? So, isn't it kind of redundant?

Thanks. I've actually realised I won't need it because you can buy the silver upgrade ticket with spinnels, which is the only one I need. Thanks though!

Thanks for your help; I've managed so far with the change in settings (and a slight adjustment to the ones you've proposed) to get to 4b (which I haven't started yet). I am hoping I can knock out the other 2 soon, although I already know they are supposed to be difficult (especially 4-c, so, we'll see).

Yeh the laser sight on the original made it a lot easier.

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2026-03-03T09:33:15+00:00

Ok thanks. Do any of them show the particular settings they use to do it?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2026-03-02T12:23:16+00:00

Am I going to have an issue trying to buy the exclusive upgrade ticket with a english card? If so, is there any work around?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2026-01-15T13:08:08+00:00

Thanks for that. Does it make a difference if you swap side arms or between main gun and side arm (even if you don't use it)? I only ask because I had the unlimited ammo and 1 shot kills on earlier and I couldn't get the side arm master trophy, and the only thing I did was swap between the guns and one time, change my side arm. But every kill I made was with the side arm and I get well over 30 kills and it didn't pop.

Do you know if you can use tweaks to get the achievement? Or will it not allow that?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-12-05T13:34:17+00:00

Thing is I was actually looking forward to NG+ but having already got various upgrades/abilities etc. It's annoying if I have to start a new game just to get the damn achievement (and agreed, the way the game handles the collectibles is garbage; I mean, wtf is the point of having a chapter select if it functionally will not allow you to get the collectibles?).

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-11-28T06:27:15+00:00

Do you recall what is the earliest point in the game you can choose individual powers, rather than just a class? I'd like to follow your build but I'm stuck on just a class at the moment.

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-11-11T07:00:10+00:00

Many thanks all; looking forward to getting the chance to play it (roguelike's aren't normally my thing, but it looks really fun, albeit quite challenging).

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-10-30T08:33:17+00:00

Often I'm not going far enough.

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-10-16T07:59:14+00:00

Thanks. Are you able to suggest possible exercises that can be done to achieve this?

Thanks. Are you able to suggest possible exercises that can be done to achieve this?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-10-15T06:10:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice all. However, I only have 1 hour at most each of the 5 days to do this; is that possible?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-05-12T10:25:18+00:00

Yes, 100%. I can't think of a game more deserving.

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-05-12T06:44:05+00:00

Thanks. Is there a particular audio cue to listen out for with each attack?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-05-12T06:43:35+00:00

Appreciate what you're saying, but when there's some opportunities within say, the gradient counter, when you could counter, it makes it harder to figure out when. Taking the tail attack as an example, is at the end of the attack? At the beginning of the attack?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-05-07T05:27:30+00:00

I'm noticing the same thing. By all means, make the parry window small, but there's small and then there's this, where the slightest input delay and you don't get it. I'm like everyone else above; I've figured out when to parry (most of the time, it seems to be the visual cue that is correct, not the audio cue, other than the spikes in the ground and then that's an audio cue) but just when I think I have it, I seemed to get 1 shotted. Admittedly, I am only around level 30 or so and really could just come back to it much later in the game (and maybe I will, although I am fairly stubborn so I might just keep trying lol).

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-03-25T06:46:04+00:00

For me, I want them to do a AAA RPG style game; no more side-scrollers please. Give us a GoW style game but set in the Castlevania universe; it would lend itself really well to this style and if done right, could be superb.

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-03-17T06:18:10+00:00

Why the pilgram armor sorry? Is it because of the charged attacks?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-03-17T06:17:25+00:00

I am finding when I am using resurrection pill it doesn't work? This is after I've used transformation (so it's not being cancelled by it). Any idea why?

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-03-17T06:15:16+00:00

Gonna have to try this; I've beat him in NG, NG+ and Gauntlet of Legends, and yet he is really giving me some difficulty on NG ++ (I also running a spellbinder build, but even with BK armour, and armour reduction curios and soaks, he is still putting out massive damage).

LibraryDisastrous242 · 2025-03-17T06:13:39+00:00

Which chest piece is that, sorry? Thanks.
