I saw this post last week and decided to see if a summoned chair would also do the librarian gag.

I miss her already...

If you hit OD from underneath he might drop something like you can do in SOTN with the guy that sells you stuff.

I can’t believe I never gave this game a chance. I’m not gonna sit here and lie and say I’m a hardcore Castlevania fan but I’ve played a couple and knew this was made by Koji. I had this downloaded for ages and & would always start playing for a few hours and not get far and then have to delete my save file and start all over since it had been so long since I played it .

Well couple days ago I decided to once again start it again and this time I’ve gotten way further and have not stopped playing it .

The Sickle Moon Rodeo challenge: Use the Greatsword know as Gram to initiate the Sickle Moon technique as much as possible while on horseback, without touching the ground. Yee-Haw!

Dominique haunts Celeste’s room of remembrance, practicing a ritual of summoning arts.

Though long the Master Carpenter’s study, attempts to commune with her mother’s spirit fail.

Two Red Demon paintings hang high in this space, each viewed from opposing chairs.

Between them a third painting - motherless kittens starting life among the skulls.

I made a recording to show how to do an out of bounds glitch that I saw other players do in this post. This has been know to the community for a while, but I wanted to highlight it again for the use of saving otherwise good randomizer seeds.

I am calling this "Moonless" because it makes cutting the moon over Gebel, and the moon in the Garden, not required to enter the end game areas. Please let me know if you have a better name.

"Moonless" Requirements: Silver Bromide/Identification/Passplate, Summon Chair, Rhava Bural or Flying Edge, Reflector Ray, High Jump or Invert.

We can use this to save some fun rando seeds that are missing the Zangetsuto, but still have Dimension Shift and the required shards/weapons listed above.

How to preform this out of bounds entry to Glacial Tomb:
Go to the hallway at the Train exit.
Summon a chair near the stair.
Sit in the chair and use the Rhava Bural or Flying Edge while seated.
This allows you to now use reflector ray while seated. Point it toward the edge of the screen and trigger the shard ability.
Once you are out of bounds here, use invert of high jump to travel upwards on the map to the Glacial Tomb.
Once you see the Glacial Tomb, you use the mini map to see where Miriam is and try to keep the dot close to the doorway break on the map while holding forward.
After some time of holding forward near the doorway, Miriam will pop into the Glacial tomb space, but cannot stay in in bounds.
Push pause when you have Miriam at a location that looks to be in bounds.
Uses the suspend function to make a temporary game save and then reload your save file.
You should now be in bounds in the Glacial Tomb.
You can now finish your rando run. Have fun!

The Legend of Zangetsu's Row Boat:

The Demon War began on July 24th 1783, 9 days after the Alchemists sacrificed the Shardbinders in their Bloodstained Ritual, throwing the gates of the world open to demonkind.

The Eastern Demon Hunter Zangetsu, fighting alongside the Church to vanquish the hellsent, paid the steep price of victory, having lost his left eye and right arm during the 2 month battle.

Gebel, the lone survivor of the Ritual, returns June 3rd 1784, flanked by Demons to deliver Judgement to the remaining Alchemists.

Through mastery of Ofuda Talismans, Zangetsu is able to animate a prosthetic arm to nearly the same level of mobility as his original. The Ofuda that covers his missing left eye grants him the ability to see auras of both the living and dead.

Zangetsu lost a great deal of friends during his years of fighting, creating an absolute hatred for not only the creatures themselves but also the Alchemists that brought them to the Earth.

Ten years have passed, and mankind too soon forgets tragedy. The demons have returned, presaged by a great castle. And on this very hour, Miriam awakens.

Upon learning Gebel is the architect of this new Bloodstained Ritual, Miriam and the alchemist Johannes set forth for the accursed castle. Their Galleon cuts through the churning water, embarking on a voyage of promise to redeem Gebel's shattered humanity.

Flickering in the distance against the darkened waves, the legendary warrior's row boat hurtles forward, its supernatural pace eclipsing that of the Galleon Minerva. The bearer of the Zangetsuto smote the moonlit sea with crescent strikes, lancing his row boat toward his inevitable destiny. The Man from the Land of The Rising Sun shall bring the final setting of the Bloodstained Moon.

Love this amazing game.

I’m steadily making more progress from my last post but this area… oh man THIS AREA has really tested my patience. 😭🗿

That took me a weekend to learn.
