    I already got the boned achievement myself, but I haven't been able to play this game with a large group in a while. I'm in.

    Capt Howdy - can't say I have the answers for either, but you looking for company for a bit? Very bored on this end.

    (If we could get a group going for Boned sometime tonight, that'd be awesome.)

    Also...

    All I want is a damned Wrecking Ball and Ricochet Rock.

    IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, GAME?

    Capt,

    Chapter 4 boss drops gold rings which makes more gold drop in candles.

    Other than that its not worth farming anything in normal mode because you get so much better stuff in hard mode.

    Daybreak isn't that good iirc because it's slow and 2handed. There's a 10k sword that's one handed who's name I can't remember that's pretty good.

    If you like the style, the combat knife is great. You can attack as fast as you can hit the button doing insane damage, more than you can with most weapons. It's just really short range is all.

    I don't think so. From my understanding (and from looking at the wikia), the Crissaegrim is a drop from Drac on hard mode. I picked the Yat up from a chest drop on LVL5. The Yatsutsuna is similar, but I don't think it has the same attack power, or number of hits per button press as the Criss. The Yat is kind of like the Vorpal Blade but with a higher attack power and cooler animation.

    Still, it blade rapes just about everything already. It's hard to imagine just how OP the Criss is going to be when I finally get one.

    Is the Crissagram a confirmed drop?

    I just thought it was some bullshit gamefaqs thing that wasn't actually in the game; or at best was in the files for the "dlc".

    I will say though, having two Yatsu's they are in fact this games Crissagram. They don't have the same visual attack but its the same end result. You can attack while moving, and non-stop and each attack hits several times. With two you can attack as fast as you can spam the attack buttons. They don't have the range the Crissagram had (Valmanway is more in that line) but it's not a huge issue. Valmanway is the other end of the coin of the Crissagram. It's considerably weaker than Yatsu's but it has about 2x the range on its hits.

    Kind of the Yatsu's are for Alucard and the Valmanway is for Soma.

    I can't solidly confirm it as lootable, no, but it's listed under Valmanway in the wiki. I've never really differentiated between the Valmanway and Crissaegrim. It's listed as a +10ATK weapon with a 5-star rarity. With a such a low attack power, I'm wondering how it performs for Al.

    And I never even thought to stack two yatsutsunas and roll with it. Wow, that just made me want to try and farm another. Damage output would be great. =)

    I've taken a break to play Dawn of Sorrow, and let me tell ya, it has the worst fucking castle out of all the Metroidvanias. Ugh.

    I'm having trouble beating Death, but I found out I could practice the magic seals I have to draw, furthermore, you can visibly see how much time you have, and speed is more important than precision. I thought the game was mocking my horrible handwriting.

    One of the best all around soul in that game, it the one from Witches, which is much better than the one in this game.

    Castlevania needs more sexy Witches :winky:

    So I made it through Death on Hard mode last night, the Yasutsuna made that pretty easy. Even spent a few hours loot-farming on LVL 6 this morning. Still haven't made it through Drac's 3rd form on hard mode yet, the blue lasers keep tagging me even when I'm ducked under them. o_0

    Doing all this on solo because Time Warner still hasn't come to hook cable up at the new apmt yet.

    Looks like a good list. I don't know if it's complete, but from what I see it does list all of Shanoa's spells and weapons. Confodere, Lapiste, and Pneuma are listed under weapon drops. After that she only has the 4 spells, Fulgor (Lightning), Grande (Ice), Ignis (Fire), and Nitesco (Piercing Beam).

    Ch. 5 hard. Get into a 3 person party, the 3rd person in the group picks Shanoa and uses her Magnes to get to the purple chests really quickly. Get the one straight up, and the one you jumpkick off harpies for and then die and reset until you get your 2x yasus.

    Damn this game is confusing when it comes to stats. I decided to try new weapons and saw I had 1 Kaiser knuckle. I equip it and it drops my attack from 48 to 13. Undeterred I equip the dark shield in the other hand for a Def boost and start the game. The Kaiser knuckle is doing +40 damage a hit, the same as the weapon that had my attack at 48! WTF? And I can blender with it!

    Kaiser Knuckle has made all the bosses (except menace and his stupid distance) my bitch. The painting boss doesn't even have a chance to transform, Death is too easy, and Drac can barely get me down to half life.

    Anyway, stats are confusing and for God's sake try different weapons.

    You can tell with Alucard by equipping a shield in his off hand and when you go to select a weapon if your def goes down it is two handed.

    It's not an ideal solution but if you're just curious without having to start up a chapter to find out, it's a way to do it.

    For Soma I have no clue since he can't equip shields and his offhand weapons don't show up on the main stat page until you select that hand.

    EDIT: What are mercury and/or winged boots?
