Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Patch Delayed to Fix Progression Problem

Bsmittel said:Hm, would be cool if all chests were just closed again or something. We'll see. Yeah, definitely some changes with monsters etc.

edit: it seems some are opened, and some are closed. so it just depends. updated original post with some details

On the way to the gambler's ring there was a green chest that was closed just west of the warp room that gave me the "skull necklace". It wasn't hidden or anything but I did have to teleport or "lazer warp" through a whole in the wall to grab it. I of course can't be 100% certain, but man I have a hard time believing I missed it before, stuck out pretty well. So I wonder if there are even some new chests about or maybe they put different items in them...

Yeah can confirm this patch farks it up, needed the Fish Recipe green chest out of the Underground Water Way and it's opened now. Honestly what a complete mess with their messaging and the execution of this patch.

Can anyone who's updated with the new patch confirm if it changes the cost of alcohest and/or the number required to breakdown items?

Just wish they would fix the drop of items I had to complete my second playthrough for my shard list to be complete, i'm still missing a few ???? enemies (including 122). I Thoroughly enjoy this game, just wish i could finish making all the weapons.

Hisket said:You can complete the shard list pre patch. Millionaire's Bane will drop the shard if it rolls 777, just keep running in hitting it and running back out again if it rolls anything else. It might take a little while, but it does happen.

So after continuing my game last night the only should be closed chest was the green chest in the garden that you need the giant hand to move the iron maiden to get to. My theory is that any green chest you saw but couldn't get to would be opened. I had been to that area so the game had loaded the chest. I went and got the hand but didn't go back to get the chest yet. saved. ge updated. There's probably some object flag that gets flipped when the chest loads and then again when it's opened. somehow the patch flipped thise flags back.

Ovapositor said:Makes sense, the green chest I had glitched on me I had already been in the area and had it filled out blue on the map but needed a special item to get to it.

side note you don't have to go super far in to farm a ton of alakhest, they drop 5x for me from the Poltergiests in the room on the right of the top tower save room. I take particular joy in destroying those dumb backer portraits.

Is it just me or did they add blood splatter on the walls?

Ovapositor said:There was always some blood splatter on the walls, from enemies if that's what you mean, that's how you could tell whether or not the blood steal would work (although sometimes the blood splatter was unseeable on flat ground or glitched into a wall or platform or something).
