Bloodstained Weapons (Submitted)

Besides just bare-hand punching, there may yet be fisting weapons like gauntlets and cestus, etc.

*Ahem*, I meant pugilist weapons.

with glove weapons, anyone think there should be throws? I think that would be awesome XD

I really hope the animations are top notch in this game. I loved when a strong enemy hit you and it throws you across the screen in SOTN.

That would be awesome, that kind of exploit is one of the things that increased the replayable value of SotN.

Look at the Iga's face in this video, he's probably thinking "I really have to put this kind of bugs in Bloodstained..."

I didn't see Laevateinn mentioned, not that I particularly care, maybe I missed it.

One weapon I would really like to see added to a game with multiple weapons, this one included...one I never ever see games add, it's completely neglected, and I think it's such a cool looking weapon...
3-section-staff. Of all the fantasy games with crazy weird weapons out there, why is it not one has one of these? blah.

Also I like claws, cuz claws are sexy... CLAWS NOT KATARS, KATAR UGLY.

Speaking of Lævateinn ("Damage Twig"), I'd also love to see more weapons inspired by those mentioned in Old Norse sagas/Norse mythology.  At least, weapons that have names like that.

I did mention before that I'd mainly want an equivalent to the "Valmanway" in Bloodstained, that would instead be a Wind-Attribute sword called Hræsvelgr ("Corpse Swallower").

I wonder if the non-cruciform holy sword called Mystletainn might make a return (the sword which can also become an arrow or spear).


Moving out of the realm of Norse mythology...since Miriam can also wield a Katana (out of a few other different sword types), why not introduce the legendary Kusanagi as a rare weapon you could obtain from either an extremely difficult serpent-like enemy/Boss, or crafted from special ingredients in Alchemy?


*(EDIT):*  I should mention that neither "Hræsvelgr" or "Kusanagi" have been used as weapons (or names for weapons) in any "Metroidvania" game in the Castlevania series.  Bloodstained will definitely be the first time that an Igavania-interpretation of either weapon will be in-game.

That would be pretty wicked. Also, the wiki page about it was amusing.

"Vishnu revealed to Indra that only the weapon made from the bones of the sage Dadhichi would defeat Vritra.[8] Indra and the other deva therefore approached the sage, whom Indra had once beheaded, and asked him for his aid in defeating Vritra. Dadhichi acceded to the deva's request but said that he wished that he had time to go on a pilgrimage to all the holy rivers before he gave up his life for them.[9] Indra then brought together all the waters of the holy rivers to Naimisharanya,[9] thereby allowing the sage to have his wish fulfilled without a further loss of time. Dadhichi is then said to have given up his life by the art of yoga after which the gods fashioned the vajrayudha from his spine. This weapon was then used to defeat the asura, allowing Indra to reclaim his place as the king of devaloka."

"Well....okay.  But first, I want to go and see all the holy rivers."
"Yeah, no time for that.  MAGIC!  Now all the rivers have come to you!  So about using you as material for this weapon we need..."

Let's just go all the way and add this thing:


Just because.

Well if you're going to do that, you might as well add this too.
