Castlevania Lore Time! Graham Jones is the antangonist of "Aria of Sorrow". He was born the day dracula died, and was CONVINCED that meant he was a reborn dracula. He started a cult that spread around doom and gloom, prophesizing the end of the world in the coming days by his hand. (Somehow, the cult's a bit of a footnote.) During a Solar Ecplise in 2035, he found himself in Dracula's Castle. Taking this as a sign of his right to become the dark lord of all things evil (as you do), he raced to get Dracula's throne, attacking everyone in his way. Soma Cruz eventually finds him at the top of the castle, where the fight proves that Graham was not the next in line to receive dracula's powers. He turns into a... weird... angel-thing, but Soma was able to defeat him and stop his plans. (...Though it turns out that Dracula was indeed in the room...)
I'd have some things to add, the cult isn't really a footnote as it's the main antagonist group of the sequel while spearheaded by celia fortner. Also Graham was in no way able to attack anyone who got in his way and instead runs away from anyone who could be a danger like genya arikado and "the misterious exorcist known as J".
@@yoster39 I THINK Celia cult is a different one, even if it's... basically the same in form and function. Also Graham totally stabbed Yoko. (He did a bad job, but he still stabbed her.)
Oh and for any kind of future solo run shenanigans. Most of the DLC characters can also take their Selector box(es) as their starting weapon, letting you Skip a starting weapon. Hail From The Future Darkasso can spawn a Candybox at 0:00. Creating a weird situation where most of the DLC characters can in theory start with any weapon. Which is especially interesting with some of the extra free arcanas, or with Elizabeth's +50 Enemies.
Fun weapons for solo limit breaking (since it came up): Centralis Custos (does damage, increases Armor Recovery and Cooldown when damaged) Globus (evolves to Nitesco, a sick magenta beam of doom that hits crazy fast) Tyrfing (throwing sword evolves into the Runesword, looks cool and is fun) Alucard Spear (goes berserk when evolved) Mace (crits for 5 digits when evolved) Refectio (heals and can explode the whole screen) Wine Glass (throwing glasses and then a whole feast at the enemy just slaps) Hand Grenade (evolves into The RPG and explodes hundreds of enemies at once) Shuriken (sprays metallic death at ludicrous speeds) This DLC is so much friggin' fun.
The Grahan's weapon isn't very good for using with the Bogaloo of Illusion, since the only part of it that hits enemies are the dark streaks flying across the screen. If the weapon becomes too large, it just stops hitting enemies.
24:50 purple. pink is like magenta (#FFFF00) with less saturation (#FFFF55 or so) based on my interpretation at least. and to all those who dont know what those # things mean: those are hexadecimal values of colors, NOT HASHTAGS!!!
Or; pink is a tint of red since a tint is a color with white added to it (a shade is a color with black added). I assume dex's confusion was because pink is named rose in many other languages.
Alright, my favorite solo weapon Limit Breaks that I have done in this DLC So far have been: Rapidus Fio (Evolved Sonic Dash), Trinum Custodem (Union for the Cerberus), Alucard Swords (Middle between Sworb and Shield), Sanctuary (Evolved Refectio), Stellar Blade (Evolved Discus), and The RPG (Evolved Hand Grenade). Recomendations that aren't classic Limit Breaks: Troll Bomb on Babi-Onna (Character that starts with the robe from Moonspell DLC), Clock Tower Solo Weapon (It can't be limit broken, so Lifesign Scan gets all of the LBs and shoots your stats through the roof)
honestly dex with how many weapons and characters were added i think if you did a stream and tested out the characters and their weapons, without really trying to go absolutely crazy, it would be pretty solid similair to the brotato streams
I would personally like to see you limit break some of the Librarian weapons, Sonic Dash or the Clock Tower. Of the Librarian weapons, I like the Troll Bomb, Sword Brothers and Soul Steal!
Thank you for making content, your content genuinely makes my day, even if by only a little. Sorry for the weird phrasing, I’m having a less than ideal day
dex can u do a curse build run with hex/nightmare (elizabeth bathory) it basically doubles your current curse when standing on the area of the projectile should be fun to see
Well I would love to see you come back to this, without the Spellbinder since the duration actually nerfed it, but yeah coming back to it with your new knowledge would lead to better numbers.
An idea that I found thats fun with paranormal scan(or any healing weapon) AND long cooldown weapons *from coat of arms (COA) selection* is to play that one character, namely Wind. Basically triggers weapons from COA on overheal of 8hp. You can imagine how many times it will trigger a weapon. I suggest Troll Bomb from the new npc store/merchant as goes the name. Not really a solo weapon anymore as it needs 3 open slots but hey, more ideas for the fun pile. winkwonk Edit: just reread the description, it should come from the coat of arms selection, limiting it but troll bomb is in the selection
Look into adding dominus agony to your solo limit breaks. You should be able to get it from the standard candy box and paranormal scan from the super candy box. It doesnt deal damage to enemies and when fully leveled it gives you a passive 50% bonus to might, speed, duration and area at the cost of draining health. I think it only has area limit breaks (it has an aoe so you can buff other players in co-op) so it shouldnt eat too many from the main weapon.
Hello. I recently discovered your channel as soon as i finished the DLCs and base game, i never thinked about expanding the builds like that, is interesting, thanks for your effort in the content, and maybe can you answer me some questions? Are you going to make a guide for the secrets and make a Tierlist?, it could be fun. There's another game called "Vampire Hunters", is also a roguelite, but FPS, and maybe play "Crimsonland", the game appeared before Vampire Survivors, so it could be interesting. Thanks for reading and have a good time, maybe i can't comment too much, but it means a lot for me if you read this. PD: I'm from Colombia, so my English is not too good, sorry about that.
Well this saves me a run because dang the solo Vol weapons are terrible. Pretty looking though. And the new merchant weapons are kind of like the "gag" tier weapons (Bone, Carello, etc), kind of... they don't evolve and they're always on that merchant, but... they're weird ones. Some might be interesting for solo runs. A few weapons are even worse for visual clutter, even at their base Area, and has the steam comments begging for an Opacity Slider.
Hydro storm and troll bomb are at least the most useful weapons the librarian sells you, and soul steal has it uses if you need it, sword brother provides a long invincibility window for characters that gets a bonus under it.
@@KenDraken11 Hydro Storm should be called Tickle Storm for all the damage it actually does. But I agree that this set of "gag" weapons are actually really neat.
the Icebrand weapon is pretty good, despite having no evolution I consider it even better than Cocytus (evolved Ice Fang) because it comes with freeze effect of its own and has a pretty good screen coverage unlike said Ice Fang/Cocytus where you need the Gemini Arcana to cover the other side and Jail of Crystal Arcana just to freeze enemies
He was born on the day Dracula was last slain, so he believed he was Dracula's resurrection. He was also interested in Soma's "Power of Dominance" (absorbing the castle demons' souls). Near the end of the game, he challenged Soma but was defeated by him.
A few more spoilers: The outcome of the battle depends if Soma was equipped with the correct set of souls before the battle: Arc Demon, Succubus, Giant Bat. If he was, it is revealed that Soma was actually Dracula's resurrection and the game continues to the final stretch towards the true ending, where he must destroy the castle's chaos core. If he wasn't, you get a normal ending where the castle crumbles.
I want to see you suffer: Fleaman, inverse Mode, no weapon if you get a Candybox or the evolved one - that's it. I've done it, it was hard, it needed patience BUT it is doable. Please suffer
Can someone maybe help me, i have unlocked everything besides 2 things in the new DLC 1. The Enemy Nr. 287 in the Bestiary, does someone know what his name ist and where i can find it? 2. The Item in the Collection which is in between the "Clock Tower" (the evolution of the clock weapons) and "Speculo Raging Fire" (the red book weapon) can someone tell me which Item it is and were or how i can get it? It should be a weapon but i am not sure
The enemy is the Minotaur idk how they spawn but it is on the castlevania map. The item is speculo globus, just use the globus weapon with the gemini arcana
If anyone wonders what a "super saiyajin" is, the original title is "Sūpā Saiya-jin". I guess they though "super saiyan" sounds cooler to the American audience?
This DLC kinda broken map/character wise. Because playing on mobile, it's too easy to go through walls on limit break stat. Even when I played with solo weapons (without Paranormal Scan)
Dex, there's a new character that starts with silent old sanctuary and also gains 1% growth per level up
WHAT
Nobody tell Dex about the one character that starts with Boogaloo of Illusions.
Or the character that starts with Game Killer...

Man, watching dex play makes me feel op for playing the castlevania games and knowing so much ahead of time.

There is just so much new content...
I eould love to see other crossovers of this caliber.
Fun weapons for solo limit breaking (since it came up):
Centralis Custos (does damage, increases Armor Recovery and Cooldown when damaged)
Globus (evolves to Nitesco, a sick magenta beam of doom that hits crazy fast)
Tyrfing (throwing sword evolves into the Runesword, looks cool and is fun)
Alucard Spear (goes berserk when evolved)
Mace (crits for 5 digits when evolved)
Refectio (heals and can explode the whole screen)
Wine Glass (throwing glasses and then a whole feast at the enemy just slaps)
Hand Grenade (evolves into The RPG and explodes hundreds of enemies at once)
Shuriken (sprays metallic death at ludicrous speeds)
This DLC is so much friggin' fun.
VERBOTEN
You have 412 blue balls! You should get that checked out asap. That's got to be super painful
Too much no nut November.
The Grahan's weapon isn't very good for using with the Bogaloo of Illusion, since the only part of it that hits enemies are the dark streaks flying across the screen. If the weapon becomes too large, it just stops hitting enemies.
The new store NPC adds more new weapons, they unlock on level up if you buy them one of a character at least once.

i think FFFF00 is yellow, and magenta is FF00FF, since it's RGB not RBG. either way my favourite pink is FF3769 in RGB or so

LETS GOOO NEW DEX VIDEO
Dex, PLEASE limit break the Stamazza (evolved Mace) with the Slash Arcana. I want to see just how big the crit numbers can get.
It really slows the game down.

Dex 2024 best quote good job usually you struggle so much to get it into the hole but this time it was a first attempt😂😂😂
Thank you for making content, your content genuinely makes my day, even if by only a little. Sorry for the weird phrasing, I’m having a less than ideal day
I still want more VS content
Bro turn himself into a singularity.
Can I evolve Sole Solution?
We have Sole Solution at Dracula's castle.
Sole Solution at Dracula's Castle:
dex can u do a curse build run with hex/nightmare (elizabeth bathory)
it basically doubles your current curse when standing on the area of the projectile
should be fun to see
Wine glass 🍷
Well I would love to see you come back to this, without the Spellbinder since the duration actually nerfed it, but yeah coming back to it with your new knowledge would lead to better numbers.
I thought that was Michael Jackson for a moment. You know the snes era images. That would be pretty cool

Follow-up warning.
Troll bomb with this build. Susceptible to seizures and/or blindness. (:
Edit to add: mandatory troll face is a must
i just love the fact that you now test not the weapon but boss damage lol

Dear Dex, please do the rose whip weapon with the fully evolved live scanner in the near future.
If you play windowed mode you can just drag around the window while walking against a wall and you will pop through ANY wall at any framerate :D

Lore time:
Graham is the main antagonist from "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow".
He was born on the day Dracula was last slain, so he believed he was Dracula's resurrection. He was also interested in Soma's "Power of Dominance" (absorbing the castle demons' souls). Near the end of the game, he challenged Soma but was defeated by him.
A few more spoilers:

If he wasn't, you get a normal ending where the castle crumbles.
You think you can beat your damage highscore with the Castlvania DLC? Would love to see that get beaten.
I'm up for any limit breaks. Maybe the Mace would be nice with it's extra crits
*BOOGALOO OF **_ILLUUUSIOOONS_*
I want to see you suffer:
Fleaman, inverse Mode, no weapon if you get a Candybox or the evolved one - that's it.

@@Joao_Rodriguesss Thank you very much!
limit break the flame spell book, the mace, Globus or the iron ball. I am really curious to see these limit breaks
yayy😊
15 min perfect timing
If anyone wonders what a "super saiyajin" is, the original title is "Sūpā Saiya-jin". I guess they though "super saiyan" sounds cooler to the American audience?
when "most beautiful build ever" continuation?
:)
Do the ultra limitbreak for the Javelin evolution :) please
Pls do the mace's evo as a solo limitbreak with paranormal scan
I forgot the name of the evo
Yeah, the free Arcana on the Castlevania characters doesn't count against their 3-per-stage from chests.
19 seconds ago right on time :^)
Dex. Just do 8 weapon runs :) All whips, all books, etc. Because yeah, most of the weapons are trash solo.
WEE WEE WA WOOOOO
Gray Ham.
This DLC kinda broken map/character wise. Because playing on mobile, it's too easy to go through walls on limit break stat. Even when I played with solo weapons (without Paranormal Scan)
That`s all? its boogie time? my heart is broken right now.... no special for us after we wait so long
You didn’t do the oogga booga thing
bro the map is dark and so is the color of the weapon i can’t see shit lol
