Co-op

Co-op is a game mode in Lost Castle. It has undergone significant changes, evolving from its initial local co-op support to now accommodate up to four players in an online co-op format. While both solo and co-op modes share many similarities, there are notable distinctions between the two modes that warrant discussion.
== Combat ==
In the co-op mode of Lost Castle, adversaries and formidable bosses exhibit an observable increase in HP, rendering them notably more resilient and challenging to defeat swiftly. This heightened endurance subsequently amplifies the peril posed by sizeable clusters of hazardous opponents. An additional complexity of co-op combat is the occasional deviation of enemy targeting towards one's ally, potentially leading to adversaries bypassing the player to engage the ally, particularly within close quarters.
== Resurrection ==
A distinguishing facet of co-op combat in Lost Castle is the inclusion of ally revival mechanics, which contribute to mitigating the aforementioned challenges. The revival process entails a strategic element, as the revival proximity to a designated white line influences the magnitude of HP restoration upon revival. Noteworthy, however, is the limitation preventing players from reviving with over fifty percent of their maximum HP. Resourceful utilization of revival mechanics can serve as a substitute for consumable healing items, proving especially advantageous in preserving valuable sustenance for confrontations with formidable bosses.
== Skill Synergies ==
Co-op gameplay grants participants access to distinct weapon skills for each player, affording strategic opportunities for complementary combat dynamics. This dynamic allows one participant to primarily focus on dealing damage, while the other assumes a supporting role by executing abilities such as Harvest or Curse when tactically viable. The synergy between varied skill combinations and weapon proficiencies adds an element of engaging experimentation and entertainment to the co-op experience.
== Treasure Duplicates ==
Contrary to solo expeditions through Lost Castle, co-op gameplay introduces the prospect of encountering identical Treasures on multiple occasions, excluding instances of Ghost Armour, which inherently possesses the capability to manifest repeatedly. This occurrence can prove advantageous under certain circumstances, particularly in instances where duplicates of potent Treasures, such as Evil Scabbards, materialize.
== A Unique Challenge ==
In addition to the revival dynamics for fallen comrades, co-op mode introduces a substantial alteration: both Nightmare Guards simultaneously confront players before the ultimate boss encounter. The ensuing battle assumes a notably demanding and chaotic character, exacerbated by the ability of Nightmare Guards to execute leap attacks targeting players even if one of them is positioned within melee range.
