Seems to be only for completionist's sake, honestly. Is sort of strange that it didn't count alongside shard collection, toward the achievement, though.

To be fair, Miriam does technically get jigglies, when she's in Bunny form.

Tested various music combinations-nothing happens. Tried using our time stop shard to freeze a ghost in place in the seat (works) and tried to sit in the other seat-nothing happens. Even noted the colors of the boxes matching some of the shards, primarily red and green and tested that with various shards-nothing. Tests go on, but essentially, nothing but some nice tunes and a ghost that takes the same pose as Miriam does. So if she sits in the left chair, the opposing ghost takes that same pose and vice versa. Still, pretty music.

purifyweirdshard absoute derp from me. that changes a lot of things but most of them such as the healing methods or power acquisition remain. irc the only way to power up your spells in OOE was by increasing your attribute points... zombie grinding intensifies. edit: Now that i think about it. Bloodstained is really easy because it gives you multiple options to power up yourself early. comparing both games i can see Ritual being harder than OOE in normal mode if the player ignores or doesn't pay enough atention to the upgrade systems. OOE didnt give you many options for that. you had to fight with everything you had at your disposal. Absorbing the same glyphs repeatedly would also power up your spells/abilities. Painstaking process with how % rates worked on some of those mobs, though.

Found a bit of an easier way to get rarer items to drop, when I was farming mats for 100% items. Seemingly, if you max the Augment Gold shard until it's a passive and then equip one, it stacks(was able to get 2k gold bags to drop, as well, using this.) I was farming Flame Mail, at the time and without the shard, only got one or two in an hour. After equipping the shard with the passive active, I can now reliably farm 60+ in an hour.

*Flashy symbols, some lightning and thread is resurrected from the dead.* So.......Who'd enjoy seeing Bloodstained done up in this fashion? It could be either RotN or CotM. Personally, CotM would translate pretty well, given its retro setup.

Yes, there is something better. But before you can reach it, you need the ability to squeeze through tight gaps. You can find that ability beyond the train area. Thanks! Actually, i like spoilers a lot (i want to be spoiled, so as to know beforehand what i should expect), so i really appreciate the specialized reply! Wow, this game is great, gameplay-wise! Lots of field traversing skills, exploration, hidden areas/stuff and backtracking! There is that tight gap with mirrors too, in library, i bet this also needs something special to go through... Ask and ye shall receive. Invert is a help and a main shard. Whenever you manage to make it to the Oriental Lab, you'll find a flying bovine named Haagenti. Kill it for it's Bovine Plumes, then hit up Johannes. He can create a 'High Jump' shard that works a lot like it did back in AoS. Looks flashy, too.

iggyg85 People over on Steam keep insisting it'll be Dominique, even though Question already stated it's 100% not her. I've also seen on there and on here, many saying it'll be the main character from Child of Light. I haven't been able to see enough hinting within the game, itself, to really make a guess myself.
Here ya go, had to hunt it down on Steam threads....trust me, those are too toxic to touch, most of the time.
Originally posted by Question_505: I'll say that the chances of a secret being revealed due to a code push is pretty great. Happens all the time.
Secrets such as this are a marketing thing and not necessarily something the people coding and QAing the game are aware of.
With that said, the 3rd playable character is 100% not Dominique.
We have given a clue on one of our videos.

I have to say that I kinda agree, no matter how much I may like or enjoy the game. As for the difficulty, wonder if they'd ever be able to implement an Adaptable Difficulty system? The better you play, the more punishing it becomes, while the opposite holds true if you happen to be getting your ass handed to you already.

All this talk about ethics and whatnot and the OP didn't even mention Linux and Mac backers which are the ones who truly got screwed over in this project. Good f*cking job. They weren't offered refunds, the window for platform change was missed by the majority of Linux/Mac backers and then 505 Games telling them to sell their physical copies to get a "refund" only added insult to injury. Switch users and $60 backers have it good in comparison. Agreed. I wasn't a Linux/Mac backer, but the way that whole situation was handled was pretty crappy as a whole. Those are the players/backers I truly feel for.

It's possible people just improved that much in, what, 20yrs? Of course there are many of us that would find it pretty easy, now. Hard mode definitely seems more normal, imo.

New Game Plus: I noticed you can go directly from Bloodless to Forbidden Underground Waterway to Hidden Desert (skipping Alfred) and to the Inferno Cave, and then basically enter the boss room from the back and proceed in the wrong direction, provided you have a fully upgraded reflection ray to move around. And then from there you can go to the secret sorcery lab and enter the supposed cutscene with dominique and alfred from the back, except they just stand there and do nothing. I wonder if you can skip Bloodless and go into the fountain with the reflection ray or Aqua Stream (which is carried over) as well? Maybe you actually have to stand at the bottom, so it's not possible? I forget which thread, may be somewhere in this one, but I do recall seeing someone say you CAN use the reflector ray to access the Underground Waterway without having to fight Bloodless.

One silver shard is an ability for underwater exploration, so that you don't need aqua stream.

Nezuto As long as you're at the $100 tier you should be in line for the slipcase it doesn't matter what platform you chose. Thanks, for some reason the wording of the slipcase made me think that it was primarily for those that are getting physical PC copies of the game. I'm still in store for some sweet loot, so while it would've sucked, wouldn't of been world ending for me, lol.

Good to see so many people have been speedrunning/no damage running and so forth so much with this game. It's maybe not the best game to do it, but dammit if it isn't a blast to do. Pity bosses lost their 'final' attacks from CotM, though, that would surely up the ante a bit for runners.

I would say the strategy book and the artbook are underwhelming. I think the artbook is mediocre and the strategy book is not even fit to be called as a strategy book. Off topic, but love the avatar pic. Would love to see one of those where it transitions between Pure Miriam and either her normal or a corrupted version of her.
