Topic: Thought of an interesting boss idea

[Bad Wolf]

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.

[thernz]

less homo

lesbian

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

[uzo]

... Oops. You're right. Uh, lets see whats the wording here... Less bad homo?

[darkwzrd4]

Sounds like a rough fight, but kind of Epic. 

[Kale]

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

And it's reverse harem.

[VGuyver]

I rather like the concept.

[Belmont Stakes]

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.

Beat down the harem of Sonia Belmont clones.

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.  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. 
Vampire Hunter Harem? Sign me up!

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

[Nagumo]

Don't you know homo is the new straight?

You sound boring.
But each to their own I guess.

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.

[Inccubus]

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.
