Skills

Passive

Every stage a Shrine of the Night spawns that triggers a night creature invasion. After killing 7 of them and the boss at the end they drop a Key Fragment.

Collecting 3 Key Fragments combines them into a Skeleton Key, which is used to open Treasure Chests. Each stage 4 has a guaranteed Treasure Chest spawn in a fixed location.

Treasure Chests contain sacred relics that greatly boost Belmont's kit in unique ways. These are both extremely powerful and nonessential to his kit so they're intentionally difficult to find.

Primary

Basic melee slash in close range

At a distance whip cracks with lower dps but higher burst damage

Secondary

Slide kick someone please make gifs of these skills for the readme i can't do this

Utility

Dash, then swing off target enemy with whip

Special

Throw a flask of "holy water"

Future Plans

Changelog

1.5.1

• Pegasus Boots no longer displace bosses, too cheesy sorry
• Mithrix now counters whip slams, taking no damage and firing his own shockwaves
• Improved Pegasus Boot kick VFX

1.5.0

• Winged Boots have returned, with a huge glow up
• Winged Boots renamed to Pegasus Boots, hover removed, now upgrades Rush into a combo move that knocks enemies into the air (even heavies), setting up easy whip slams
• Crissaegrim damage: 3x175% > 3x300% - melee doesn't scale well because of the risk, Morning Star on the other hand is crazy no matter how far into a run, this should level the playing field a little

1.4.9

• Added a logbook entry, HUGE thanks to getsurabbit for this
• Silver Bullet damage: 1000% > 800%
• Silver Bullet now resets cooldowns on kill- this skill was a joke and never intended to be good, and obviously didn't mesh with his kit at all, but maybe this change gives it a niche that makes it worth taking for those who find that fun

1.4.8

• Added more breakdance flair
• Fixed Ancient Flame and Hellfire dealing a fraction of their intended damage

1.4.7

• Belmont has taken breakdancing lessons from Ravager

• Sacred Flame finisher damage: 2000% > 4000%

• Sacred Flame damage and vacuum radius buffed
• Winged Boots now increase the knockup force from Rush
• Abscond dash force slightly increased while on the ground, so you don't HAVE to jump before using it every time
• Abscond speed boost from cancelling a roll now applies from any form of cancel instead of just walking, and speed is greatly increased
• Skeleton Key glow range: 96m > 128m
• Shrine of the Night Gargoyles temporarily reduced to ordinary Lemurians, will be fixed at a later date

1.2.2

• Added Ancient Scepter upgrade: Hellfire - pillars are larger, do more damage and leave a trail of flame
• Added whip slam: double tap m1 while targeting an airborne enemy to cancel the whip crack and instead slam them down for 1800% damage, target indicator also changes to show this move is available - very situational but rewarding if used right

1.1.0

• Added more item displays, including all relics
• Added more flair to Ancient Flame's flask
• Added config for alternate, lamer animations
• Morning Star's explosion now always goes off even if the target dies before the delay is over, added new impact effect as well
• Rush hitbox is now separate from the sword hitbox, and is also made thinner so it's more reliable as an escape tool
• Abscond velocity retained when letting go of your swing greatly increased, and no longer enters a freefall state if you launch yourself high enough upward
• Treasure Chests now drop random relics, excluding ones you already possess
• Skeleton Key will now glow when near a Treasure Chest
• Made Purify's sword close-up detection more consistent- all this means is standing close to a big enemy will more consistently slash instead of thinking you're further away and defaulting to whip (this is a large BUFF before anybody whines)
• Improved Purify's whip animation tracking by having the character face your target instead of camera direction
• Relics can no longer be picked up by non-Belmont survivors (they can still snatch your keys though)
• Greatly improved Ancient Flame's aim mode accuracy

• Sword damage: 350% > 300%

1.0.3

• Abscond now recharges all stocks at once, but cooldown resets when a stock is used
• Abscond now always factors sprint speed into the dash distance, previously it wouldn't if you weren't sprinting before using it, resulting in much shorter dashes
• Helminth Hatchery Treasure Chest is now actually obtainable, one wasn't supposed to spawn here but it did due to an oversight so it has a proper placement now

1.0.2

• Abscond cooldown: 3s > 4s
• Abscond base charges: 1 > 2
• ^should boost usability in a fun way
• Treasure Chests now spawn on Commencement (both variants) as doing the shrine each stage got you an extra key that went unused in a standard no-loop run, so now you get an extra powerup before Mithrix if you can find the chest
• Treasure Chest logic slightly changed: instead of flipping a coin for the item, Morning Star is now always guaranteed first with Crissaegrim following, and after that it's random red items
• Mithrix and False Son now talk shit to Belmont

1.0.0

• Initial release
