My biggest two tips is take your time and try not to rush. Even on PvP servers where it’s an arms race. Take the time to setup your castle and get your garden and rat farm going! And secondly, always have vermin salves on you at all times, they’ll help you survive a lot more since they’re basically potions!

[@pjmancuso3565]

what do you mean by garden and rat farm? can you elaborate?

[@remortisgaming]

@@pjmancuso3565 yeah you can plant seeds and there’s a crafting station that produces rats and other vermin. There’s also the tombs that produce skeletons and undead enemies that you can then kill for bones and grave dust

[@AnnaEmilka]

@@remortisgaming why is rat farm important? I thought you need to stand by it to catch the rats it produces and that seemed boring and a waste of time. Is there a way you can automate it? Or maybe I'm missing the point of the rat farm

[@remortisgaming]

@@AnnaEmilka vermin nest is very underrated. it can produce a TON of free resources. Rats are amazing because you can craft Vermin Salve which is essentially a potion you pop inbetween battles or in spots where you took a good chunk of dmg and need to replenish

[@AnnaEmilka]

@@remortisgaming thanks! could you please confirm if I need to stand by the nest an manually catch the rats though? If so I assume you'd only turn it on when you're around to catch them, correct?

[@allekatrase3751]

I feel like it's important to mention that gear level isn't just a point of comparison to see if you're strong enough. Damage scales on the relationship of your gear level to the level of an NPC.

[@TFHDeathUA33]

He mentions that. But it’s a good point to say again.

[@___meph___4547]

"Damage scales on the relationship of your gear level to the level of an NPC." Can you explain this differently? What does the gear level and an NPCs level have to do with your damage?

[@allekatrase3751]

@@___meph___4547 I think it's 5% per level difference. So, if your gear score is one level lower than the NPC, you will do 5% reduced damage to them and receive 5% more damage from them.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@allekatrase3751 IIRC, it's 4%.

[@omarjimenez3550]

The advise at the end of the video was everything for me, you just earned a new suscriber by opening my eyes. I'll play my game at my own pace for the money that i paid, thank you sir.

[@shaunthemighty]

You helped me through baldurs gate and the fact that your covering and doing guides on this game makes it an easy buy for the ps5 especially as it'll be my first survival type game.

[@italianspartacus]

i have my beginners guide coming out tomorrow :)

[@shaunthemighty]

​@@italianspartacusperfect timing as I just bought for the weekend.

[@FluxxAvatar]

Italian Spartacus is playing V rising, one of my favorite content creators playing one of my favorite games 😆

[@OneTato]

There's a lot more to this game than i realized. Its petty cool all the differnt expnsions and added decour you can get.

[@littledeedaytwitchvods7016]

Major props for the last 30 seconds btw.

[@fitz394]

Bosses are exponentially harder in multiplayer. If you are solo, just up the resource gathering amounts and amount you can hold.

[@Gadsen_Flag]

Glad i saw this, particularly with the teleport stuff. thanks.

[@JPEaglesandKatz]

Awesome video as usual!!! :) I just picked up this game yesterday. I'm just starting but I can already tell this is truly unique and amazing game.. !

[@minidude112]

200+ hrs and I'm still watching this... (kinda hyped). Good vid Sparta!

[@easymoneeey]

Cool, was waiting for this

[@ceciloftheredwings-3248]

Thanks this is the first useful tip video I’ve watched so far.

[@italianspartacus]

Glad it was helpful! :D

[@LifesGuardian]

Interesting. Updating the game now, I didn't realize just how much had changed since EA. I might just boot it up to look around a bit tonight. Thanks!

[@Darkedge361]

IKR, dude it's like a brand new game.. little sad i have to rebuild from the bottom but it's been a blast getting back into it

[@IsaacCoverstone]

Not typically an action RPG player, but this looks really fun and I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

[@TuneL0wDieSl0w]

Great video, helped a lot! 😎

[@robinundercheck5056]

Thank you so much ❤ i was not aware you can disable the block of teleporting. Now it ist time to restart the Game. Just Had 10 hours in so Not much lost 😂

[@XLR8Tony]

thank you ! :D

[@italianspartacus]

You're welcome!

[@Rainbowalpacas]

As for the blood type buffs, you can see the percentages in the attributes tab if you're curious what the actual percentage you have is.

[@italianspartacus]

It still shows the range in that tab too right? Or does it show the fixed amount and I somehow missed it?

[@Rainbowalpacas]

@@italianspartacus it’s showing the fixed amount for me. For example, Standard Resource yield is 100%. With Worker Level I it showed me at 113%.

[@williamedwards4151]

Love Unholy. It's a lot of fun to have your own units on the ground with you. Makes you feel like a vampire warlord.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

I purchased the exploding spider ultimate and had zero regrets. It's hilarious seeing that thing hop into a group of enemies.

[@vienneau101]

found the channel recently but love the content!

[@j.d.4697]

0:22 I wish you could actually look at your castle like this. I want a camera option or mod that lets you look anywhere but at the ground.

[@dantevallieres794]

the mod exists. not sure if its compatible with 1.0

[@EPKKC]

For some reasons, i think this game will be MUCH more fun than D4 without its budget. Think its worth to support the game with the complete edition coming to PS5?

[@italianspartacus]

Absofuckinglutely man. I cannot get enough

[@SteveSavage79]

I bought it looking forward to jumping on in a few minutes.

[@joebyron2984]

In regards to the special menu to start the game with some handicaps you can’t go back?

[@marybdrake1472]

This should prove helpful for me later on when it drops on P.S.5.

[@DCM68W]

Once you can build castle waygates, your Farbane Woods castle is perfectly fine

[@zeridiusmagus1676]

On the blood types. How do you increase the roman numerals ?

[@haplowizard2743]

Just started playing on ps5 and I’m loving it. 😊

[@philipvandercook3541]

Thank you

[@karrde5566]

new spell system might be better but it takes some of the joy out of the game thats one thing that made me fall in love with this game was the boss specific abilities it was cool now its just meh :l

[@nathonmowbray]

Looking forward to playing this on ps5 tomorrow 😊

[@katmannsson]

I did me a little chuckle with the Hard to Loot while moving, no Judgement for the record just amused, I played Smite for like a Decade so I got super used to that sort of absurdity is all.

[@moosiemoose1337]

Just annoying to get your finger off the movement key so you can loot

[@katmannsson]

@@moosiemoose1337 I mean I dont really have that issue bc F is an important default bind, so I got used to having weird positioning for my hand on the keyboard. I have pretty long Fingers so I rest the actual joint where my thumb connects to my hand on space with the pad of my thumb on f and pinky on shift with the rest on/around WASD. And I have a Razer Naga so I can use my Thumb on my right hand to use my hotbar. Like I said I chuckled not out of judgement but because It made me realize how comparatively weird that would be to most people. 🤣

[@timklafke4712]

[@a3an]

Great video! Is it possible to allow item teleport after starting the game? I am lvl 33 and really dont wanna restart from the beginning because of that, but its sooo annoying,.

[@kirk-lazarus-EFT]

You can adjust the settings under "Load Game" in the main menu instead of clicking "Continue."

[@a3an]

@@kirk-lazarus-EFT Thank you so much!

[@kirk-lazarus-EFT]

@@a3an You're welcome! Enjoy your freedom to play the game your way!

[@slipknotpurity00]

In regards to the "bound teleport items" turning it off - I actually think that is bad advice after having long stretches of the game with both settings on and off. With you being able to teleport any item it essentially makes the mount system worthless. Having to find a fast horse for transporting goods or even bat form later is a rewarding part of the game and really makes resource runs deep into enemy territory more rewarding and epic. Also provides incentive to relocating your castle as needed as the game progresses.

[@AnglophobiaIsevil7]

Bingo

[@MattR8605]

The mount system is VERY useful when you’re nabbing prisoners or servants

[@redemption44]

No. Stop. You are completely wrong. The whole point of video games is to give player choice. I shouldn't be forced into choosing to ride my mount over fast traveling. We should have BOTH as a choice. You are completely wrong. There is never ANY REASON to limit a fast travel system. Especially due to "specific items" that's by far one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a dev team do. It's completely fucking pointless

[@jessedi998]

And a week later you will complain that there is nothing in the game to do. Limiting TP items in games forces you to slow down. It sucks at times but it helps maintain a play though pace.

[@mrsundaymorning]

It's subjective. I rather save time spending it on my family.

[@garrettjarvis798]

10/10 guide

[@saggydumpling7532]

what about quick weapon swap? can't rebind it.

[@LifesGuardian]

So, I'm currently farming for 100% blood type. Luckily, I happened across a 100% Brute naturally, but now I need the rest. When looking for higher blood quality, is it necessary, or even helpful, to kill the other NPC's? I'm playing single player, if that helps. Thanks!

[@italianspartacus]

Yeah just kill em and force a respawn!

[@jamescarter1213]

40 HOURS INTO THE GAME AND I JUST KNOW AUTO RUN BUTTON!, dude, thanks god i pressed that subsribe button

[@dongarippo7279]

A Castlevania dlc for 20 euros! ngl, that pisses me off. I bought the game and I didn't have any plans to go "yarr matey"! aaah! Anyway, I increased gathering resources, removed durability loss, increased inventory stacks, and reduced day time for my singleplayer run. I'm fairly sure I will enjoy the game more that way. Also the teleport all stuff of course. Max of 5 castles too because, why not :)

[@kaildraconis]

I have 430 somethin hours of pretty much castle building simulator. Lol. I love this game a lot.

[@shaneWARs1]

Kinda wish you can play humans with holy powers or vampires

[@AnglophobiaIsevil7]

That would be dope, also allow for epic pvp. Vamps can kill anyone but humans can only kill monsters and vampires.

[@AJIVENINJA]

You used the sephiroth hair without making it white 😢

[@dakotadeering7615]

Also to note: I was not able to find the hammer to gather iron, BUT I had acquired the axe at the same level and used that to gather iron and go straight to iron weapons.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

IIRC Merciless Copper is enough to crack Iron. In the release game you can visit the 3 Shady Merchant Camps and purchase the research book for it.

[@MrJeden]

How do i know what the good solo servers are ? Any discord for that?

[@ActivateLife]

You can make your own server for solo play

[@MrJeden]

@@ActivateLife solo as in 1 per guild

[@AnglophobiaIsevil7]

For once a survival vraftjg game with actually fleshed out combat

[@TheSweetSpirit]

Dracula as a concept isn’t copyrighted by Konami >.>

[@italianspartacus]

But he is as an extension of castlevania, using the Belmonts and other specifics from the IP :) Which are all in the game, including the music. Dracula as he is is public domain

[@Underfaith]

"The iron mace is needed to hit iron yields of minerals" is wrong. The upgrade before it does ie merciless will destroy iron nodes. You can't make iron weapons without being able to harvest the iron first. Y

[@tobestobes123]

Dude definitely sounds like joe from family guy

[@TheFus]

If you're going to play on a PvP server, start off with building a box for your base and keep your crafting stations inside of that box. There are a TON of ways for people to jump over small gaps or cliffs, and if they can get to your stashes or your castle heart, they can and will take your stuff or your entire castle. SO many people just cover the ramps to their bases with a single gate and then build out in the open plot of land, making it really easy for people like me to hop to the side of that single gate and land right in your space and rob you.

[@Scheckler27]

I refunded the game after seeing all the key binds so I tried PS4 controller but it says I still need to use keyboard for some actions=no good... Did I refund prematurely? TBH I didnt try the game at all after all this binding also because I don't use WASD for move, I never have since UT original always TAB Q W A My fingers cant reach down to left control or K for example---Also--in the keyboard bindings I saw vampire powers I think I saw 10 or 12: Do these ALL have to be assigned to seperate keys? Cause that's what I thought which was the determining factor to refund afrer I had too much trouble trying to assign the other 18 binds for other stuff...I saw in vids there is a wheel is that how they are accessed aswell as what animal you want to be ? That would cut out ALOT of binds....HOW do you guys do it ? PS the controller binds menu was buffed out > looked like a couple languages stack on top of eachother therefore I coun't read anything....Thanks I REALLY wann play it :)

[@patrykjedi4583]

You can use a controller and never touch kb+m when playing

[@aaronmccarty1390]

I’m very interested but dont know whether to buy on pc or ps5… sounds like the controller for PS5 is garbage.

[@italianspartacus]

my vote 100% goes to pC!

[@Occurredcx]

I was messing with my settings turning things off for better fps cuz I thought it was a majorly intense game on the pc even tho I have a. 4080. And I accidently broke my game and made my fps go past 1000 LOLOLOL. Fun game tho fr

[@dr.bherrin]

Well, the rebinding thing is only a useful tip if you have a mouse with extra buttons, which I don't...and I do just fine without it. So don't know think it's "essential">

[@XGiveMeLibertyX]

Man, this game would be so much more fun if I could play it with the controller. But they clearly put no effort into a good controller compatibility. I have to press Y to move the camera. Instead of using the right thumb stick

[@thesoftestblanket4244]

There are 2 controller modes. I just got it yesterday and use the Xbox controller and I get right stick to move camera!

[@mikemccoy7931]

I don't understand how you start a game like this online. You practically need to instantly make a castle to progress, but it is awful to build one near where you start. Completely ruins this game for me unfortunately

[@demonfandango]

You can relocate easily in 1.0 so it's not as annoying as early access. Still need to rebuild the castle walls etc in the new location but chests, crafting tables etc can be moved by building a relocation heart. Not sure if that's what you were getting at.
