Title: Thought of an interesting boss idea
Post by: Bad Wolf on May 02, 2010, 04:12:26 PM
This is kind of in the mold of Shaft's Rondo of Blood boss fight.

Playing though Aria's Inner Quarters again, I had the opportunity to think about what might have happened if a vampire hunter passing through an area like that had given in to temptation and just stayed there, forever, being increasingly corrupted by it.

So what I'm thinking is this:

Belmont (or whoever) enters this room to see a Succubus frolicking with a man-harem (not sure what you'd call that) of fallen Vampire Hunters, and she tries to do her temptress thing and your character basically gives a "sorry. Not interested." response. Succubus teleports back and sics her seduced vampire hunters on you, and you have to kill each of them, and finally take her on after that.

I mean, why have we not seen something like this before?

I think this idea would be much better, and much less homo, if it was a harem of lesbian vampires/succubus.

less homo
lesbian
Actually I think it would be more homo, then. But it'll be the good type of homo.

Sounds like a rough fight, but kind of Epic.

That does indeed sounds awesome. I thought abuot influenced VHunters before, but never by a Succubi.

And it's reverse harem.

If I may quote SOTN.

Alucard "Why did you make Belmont into lord of this castle?"
Shaft "Because we tire of interference with their holy power. If they would but fight one another....."
Alucard "Then the strongest among them would emerge victorious, Belmont."

There was a Succubus in that Castle. Hence that may be how Richter fell prey to the manipulation and became lord of the castle.
I know that Shaft was the instigator controller of his thoughts but it never tells us how he managed to pull it off.
Your idea works I like the idea of a more female harem but its not realistic since there were not too many female vampire hunters in the lore of the series. With that said yes I agree less bad homo more good homo.

I want more homo luvin' in my video games... Guys or girls doesn't matter. Heterosexuality is so 1997 it's not even funny. Succubus is cool cause she basically does anything with a pulse, and there's definitely room for more of that in Castlevania.  ;D They should've made Joachim more gay, for example. Isaac doesn't count cause he's way too over-the-top and just not that hot.  >:(

I prefer my games, and everything for that matter, non homo.

While it is never clearly stated, I believe that Richter was sort of possessed remotely by Shaft though that orb that appeared above Richter's head during the fight between him and Alucard.  Or, he could have been possessed directly by Shaft at first and then once in the castle, Shaft used one of his orbs to control him remotely.  Remember, Shaft was a ghost in SotN.  He was transparent after all.

I would hope so or that would be a pretty big plot hole considering that you fight a boss called Shaft's Ghost in CVDX:RoB.

I'm with the shaft Idea, he was behind the control. Succubus to control others through their memories and illusions. I also doubt anyone other then Shaft was responsible because none of the enemies in the castle, including bosses appeared until it manifested. The Castle didn't appear until Richter was controlled and summoned the Castle Himself. so that leaves only Shaft to of done the act, unless somehow Succubus and Orlox were out there aiding him.

I think any new boss concept is a good thing. This idea sounds solid to me. A succubus that had, until previously, seduced all vampire hunters that came to the castle but failed due to their own egos, weakness', etc, all woowed in by a vilumptous demon woman. Then the Belmont or whatever other hero comes along and is not tempted by her. So naturally she get's pissed and sics her hord of tempted sex toys on you which you subdue (kill or whatever) then after all that she takes you on herself. I think it would be a brutal because you aren't fighting monsters, your fighting humans which might have a more segnifigant sting on the Belmont's moral code of conduct. But the succubus herself is a demon so the hero won't think twicw about doing her in.

I don't know about that.  After all, Richter killed Shaft in RoB and Shaft was a human.  Then again, if the attacking humans were under a spell, the hero would likely try to free them from the spell.

Which will make it all the more tragic when there is NO WAY TO FREE THEM. Let's just give that old moral compass a spin, shall we?

Personally, I'd like to see a Belmont becoming evil by his own free will as a boss. He should also be an important secondary villain as to give the story of the game a greater sense of urgency and gloom("Oh noes Belmont sided with Dracula we're doomed!!!").

The story for him could be that he was fed up with being forced from childhood into training to become this hero and he wants to put an end to the family curse by insuring Dracula triumphs. It would be even better if he's just flat out killed by the hero instead of some lame cop out where he's "saved".
