mfnick Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Fair enoug, I was more wondering if the drop rate of the better weapons was higher on the alternate routes. If I remember rightly I got my 8000 damage crossbow on one of the alternate routes and wondering if it just didn’t have as much of a chance of turning up in the regular path. i understand what your saying about not unlocking stuff to increase the drop rates of the items you prefer but I’m same as you, don’t believe in that. I like unlocking the other stuff and been discovering weapons I actually like which I wouldn’t have used if the game didn’t make me. I love that about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Finally made it to what I believe is the final boss (one after that hard as fuck high peak castle?) last night/early this morning. Got him about half way down. Not too bad for first go I suppose, going to be difficult to learn his pattern though with how hard it is to even reach him. That castle is a killer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yep,that’s the final boss alright. Haven’t managed to kill him yet. Because as you said,the Castle is pretty tough. One mistake there can cost you,big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Made some decent progress. Found a useful guide of where to find the powers I'm missing.... Spoiler WHERE DO YOU FIND THE RAM RUNE? In the Ossuary. This is an area that can be accessed from the Promenade of the Condemned. If you go all the way to the end of the Promenade, you’ll find the elevator leading up to the Ramparts. Keep walking past the elevator, and you’ll reach a teleportation coffin. Use your newfound Teleportation Rune and the entrance to the Ossuary will be right there. As before, you’ll have to find and defeat a special elite in the Ossuary. Once done, you’ll be able to slam down on those glowing ground runes, breaking the floor beneath you, allowing you to access the juicy goods below. WHERE DO YOU FIND THE SPIDER RUNE? In Slumbering Sanctuary. To access this dangerous zone, you’ll need to follow a specific route that leads there. From the Prisoner’s Quarters, head to the Toxic Sewers (using the Vine Rune) and then into the Ancient Sewers (using the Ram Rune), then from the Ancient Sewers to the Insufferable Crypt. The Insufferable Crypt houses a tricky boss fight with a giant eye creature. Defeat it, and you’ll be able to head into the Slumbering Sanctuary. The Slumbering Sanctuary is a beast of a zone and will require constant vigilance. Go slow and keep an eye out for your target. The elite holding the Spider Rune is at the bottom of a pit marked with a skull flag, so drop down and do your best to survive. For your trouble, you’ll nab the final major rune in the game. I've got a good combination going with a swarm grenade and crossb-o-matic. Chuck both of them towards the enemies, jump back into safety and watch as they just get destroyed. Made quick work of the first boss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The balance patch from a while is now available on Switch. Plus a performance update that keeps it at a silky 60fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Oof. I posted that when I saw the update available and trying it now I think I like the performance less. It was at least consistent before but now it goes from buttery smooth to a chugging mess in larger areas. The balences are good, though. Finally got my first finish and now trying hard mode ?

mfnick Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Sweet didn’t know this update was out. Just been looking into it, sounds really great need to get back into it. “Enemy auto-scaling is a thing of the past too, meaning you'll actually feel more powerful as you progress through later levels” This in particular sounds great to me! As well as “Legendary weapon drops are no longer tied to boss encounters” and “time challenge doors have been removed from stages and placed into the areas in-between, so that the emphasis is back on speed rather than tracking the elusive buggers down” Some very smart changes there. Custom mode sounds mega too. If I ever complete it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Have you ever thought about getting this @one-armed dwarf? Seems like it might be something you could get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Someone mentioned it to me on GTM I think. I don't really like rogue-like or rogue-like-adjacent type games tho. I have a flight coming up soon tho so maybe if there's a deal on Switch I can check what this thing is about ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It may start off a bit slow but once you unlock weapons and abilities its action game toy town, especially since this new patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Had my first go with the new patch last night, made it to the end boss and almost killed him on my first go! Was not expecting that, the changes are great, I’m loving them. It also feels even faster now especially when you get the kill spree speed boost. However, I encountered some slight slow down for the first time ever in this game as well last night. On the second stage while fighting a few enemies, it’s stumbled quite a bit. Not a good look for this game at all! It makes the controls really unresponsive too, which for this game is really, really disappointing. Thankfully it didn’t happen in any other section on my few playthroughs last night. But hope it’s not a ongoing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle_Class_Hero Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Had a brief go since the update. I can already tell that the time locked doors are far more worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Cool documentary on Motion Twin making the game, plus some sneaky looks at the new free DLC: Also, forgot to post that I got the ram ability, struggling to get the spider rune, but i’ll get it eventually.

mfnick Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Awesome, this game keeps getting better and better. Free too, with new enemies and costumes. Whereas other publishers and devs out there charge £1.19+ for a costume or even worse, a unlock key for a loot box which may or may not give you a new costume. Excellent news.

HandsomeDead Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 New free content for the game: Rise of the Giant. I've done a run and got some new blueprints and seen a new area but didn't know how to do it, though I imagine you need a new ability as I can't see how it's possible as is. They seem to have changed a few visuals and item placements. Early days yet so I don't have a lot to say about it at the moment. This is more of a reminder.

mfnick Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Can’t wait for this update on Xbox. I’ll no doubt be hitting this game hard again when it’s out. Still no date for that version yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Does the DLC patch out the PS4 thing where you can avoid game overs? Because I still got that final difficulty level to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 If I got the digital version would I be able to transfer my save/s across from when I was playing on disc? I mean it’s the same, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
