Ogmios's whip, the sun-god is depicted holding it in a firm grip. A tale from celtic mythology.
Would this whip, do the trick?

All praises to Gebel and survivor of the Dark Beyond. When he awakened from his long slumber, my Lord and master spoke to me of secrets that few souls know. He told me the kingdoms in this realm shall be crumbled beneath my feet. He revealed the powers that have brought this discord to the realms of man, and nobody will stop him! Grant me the wish to strike anyone who dare to oppose my master, met with curse, steel and crystal clearity of pain beyond faith.
Now we need the final prize, the trophy to make it all happen. The portal have been opened. It is time to rise! - Grimory.

Oh, it is allowed. A walkthrough have the rights to show spoilers, but even so, you could always warn people at the beginning of your footage every time. That is how I made Diablo III videos back in the day, mostly because the story had such impact on the latest games.
I am getting spoiled, I believe the map in higher tiers might show me the secrets before I even reach those areas. I should try not to peek at it too much and spoil it for myself.

Demo and game can be streamed and recorded how you see fit. If the game allows modding however there are rules. But this is probably something for PC only. And streaming, I think many will do that on Day 1. I know I will.

Never played any type of Boss Rush Mode to a greater extent, only in Aria of Sorrow I believe for a couple of minutes.
Classic: Keeps time on your kills from start to finish, good time result in nice reward in terms of visuals, not things that make the character stronger (except if its exclusive to Boss Rush only to advance further or such.)
Locked Time Attack: So I would see it as you get a room to pick your weapon and skills which gets locked once you enter the bossroom and get to fight one random, after you finished it, a timer which keeps track will stop. This will last either for x amount of boss rooms or until you die. When these are reached, you get a reward. Same as classic, a visual thingy. This might not be Miriam exclusive, since we do not know if other characters have multiple skills they can utilize.
Side note: If you have unlocked all characters, this mode should give you the chance of playing them.
Visual stuff: Costumes, skins for weapons, UI huds, screen filters, skins for bosses.

And do...other things < seems to be a comic relief in words, not an actual major thing about Bloodstained. No need to hype THAT text.
More official hype are coming, currently, during events, it is always about interviews and panels. If anything new are revealed, it is from those interviews or panels.
When it comes to official updates. I would enjoy one next week for the people that do not live in USA, but my guess is it might be a bit later.

I hope so; but it makes me think, is there such a thing as a castle too large? Serious question, can too much content ruin the idea? This question can span all aspects of the game. Too many weapons, too many monsters, too many secrets? good question. but let me put it like this: this is the first igavania on consoles in well over two decades. yah. crazy to think most igavanias were on handhelds. this time, iga is given all the funding he could ask for, on his own terms, and not bound by (though clearly influenced by) his past works. this is, for all intents and purposes, an igavania made on igarashis OWN terms, and if all works out, we could have a new ip that might even make konami kick themselves for squandering its golden boys talents on mobile games and pachinko. it'll be too late for redemption... but i know with the success of bloodstained on the horizon, igarashi will have the last laugh. 505 Games have stated a few times they do not interfere with IGA-sans vision too, which is a rare case since Publishers usually have one or two big things they like to change or complain about, even if it is a deadline.
What I have understood is that IGA-san works at his best when he actually have a deadline so I believe they are constant making a few goals at the office and reaching them as soon as possible.
Overall I think that "enough time" for the developers are the key for a bigger castle. And hopefully some of those cool designs in both for- and backgrounds can be spotted across our journey in Bloodstained too. I really liked the details put into Symphony of the Night, Arias of Sorrow and when it comes to complete backdrops I were stunned by them with Harmony of Dissonance.
SotN took what made Castlevania great, and made it better. With a new IP we could expect anything, and those things that the developers didn't think worked out very well, are the ones that will be replaced in the second IP.
Those that expect an SotN 2 will not get it, the feel and nostalgia will be there, yes, but the story of Dracula and Alucard with Belmont and all other friends are gone. Tributes have been made for a long time in the gaming industry. It is time to move on.

"Welcome to the new show! Dan Jones tackles games that have been on his backlog for sometime. First up is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!"
What's so interesting with this is that we all take things for granted when playing as Alucard in Castlevania. Dan comments on things he finds on his way. Reactions by him must have been similar to how I reacted, also coming from only playing Castlevania 1 through 3, and not anything from the Snes or any other platform.
This is his first video, and it is pretty fresh! If you are curious for more, cross fingers he continue to make them!

Should say the first one, since that was the first one I ever saw. But SotN were the first one I actually noticed and appreciated, and had it as a wallpaper with Alucard and his sword. So... SotN it is!

Shard Rod Fuels by using shards when equiped, will trigger an elemental attack based out of the last or most used shards in between attacks.
Example 1: Miriam use Morte Cannon Shard (Fire blast) on enemy while having the Shard Rod equiped. Now she strikes with the Shard Rod on her next enemy. The Shard Rod becomes fire (animation fx) and doubles the Morte Cannon Shard output + original damage.
Example 2: Miriam uses Amy, Morte Cannon, Amy before striking with her Shard Rod, it now picks up Amy elemantal damage, doubles it and adds the original damage of the Shard Rod on top of it. And gives a new animation / color on the attack.
Cursed Rod Similar, but use ether in its every attack, until ether is gone it has magical attributes which are gone if ether reach zero. Making the damage output far less.

Would be cool.
I believe we have getting a cryptic wink wink nudge nudge about "transformations" in the game. And with familiars and some features they have yet to show us and talk about, there are possibilities!
What would you suggest? Alucard could turn into wolf, bat and mist. Miriam seems a bit more grounded, but alchemy is a new area that IGA have shown an eager interest in exploring.
