Hack description

This the third and final hack of Aria of Sorrow featuring the cast of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. This hack will center around the Shardbinder, Gebel, and will emphasize the power of his magic and defensive strength, as opposed to his offensive power. This story is another what if scenario that varies depending on what protagonist you play as.

The game serves as a sequel to Curse of the Moon after the good ending (recruit everyone and beat Nightmare mode). Be sure to read the dialogue (especially the dialogue at the Entrance throughout the game after major events) and try out multiple souls as they have been altered to fit the new character. Some guardian souls have been changed so you just have to tap the R button to turn them on and off instead of holding it down (great armor, flying armor etc..) Items, stats and some enemies have also been edited to make the game feel a bit more original. Enjoy!!

Better than Alfred.StarWyvern2019-12-16Version 1.0

Much like the Zangetsu hack, I really enjoyed this one. Seeing the story from Gebel's Perspective really made replaying this worthwhile. And the difficulty felt similar to that of Dawn of Symphony. Not as hard, thankfully, as Call of Chaos or Alfred Hack which was maddening.

If anything, instead of making Miriam the second playable character, use Alfred, and make him a "Super" Character like Julius, complete with his own God mode spells, like freeze all enemies and one hit smash them, or Chain lightning all enemies for repeated high DPS.

Keep at it. I love Bloodstained and Castlevania. And you are just about there when it comes to making a perfect Hack. BTW for those interested, use Gebel or Zangetsu Patch with Yukuutski no Fantasia. Feels just like a Bloodstained CotM Sequel!
