This game goes to some places man. Also can you get anything from the question line of Iris?

Eventually (after going through maybe 4 other questions) she asks if she's just getting in the way, and you get the dialog option to throw her out, but I haven't actually chosen it to see what happens yet. Unfortunately I always had party members at the time and like being able to check their affection rating. It's possible that ends up being a joke answer either way, but it would be even funnier if you really could leave her behind, especially if that changed the default "you and Iris adventure together forever" ending.

Yeah I finally made it to the end of the world too on Normal and there's a point where it changes from difficult to really easy if you have some ranged weapons OR know how to exploit the fact monsters will "stop" every 3-4 movement, allowing you to get 1 free strike on them. I started abusing that to kill everything. I'm really enjoying the game more now that I understand what's dangerous and what isn't as dangerous. I got really annoyed that I had 9 Keys at the end with zero holy shrines. Any advice on doing a run where you just kill as many villagers as you want?

So does Maniac mode also cause the Demon Lord's health to regenerate between every appearance without actually listing that it has that effect? I just had a great run on one of the daily modes (silver drops only/all npcs are merchants), but since I was playing Knight, I don't think I would have been capable of killing him before his timer ran out even with a super strong weapon. By the time I died, I was just resigned to trying to hit the end of the world.

Maou gets stronger from Grueling mode. Try a Hunter to see the changes. The shield gets weaker over time. Playing Hunter makes me want to drink something strong. You see over time the health of monsters getting higher rather slowly (except Maou) and breaking a Demon Lord seal gives it a full heal and ten thousand Life. I found a Buddy before giving up fighting it.

So uh... the King is pretty stupidly powerful as a party member (and has some interesting interaction dialog if you happen to find Buddy Tablets). Finding a bunch of elven camps selling Stark Needles and enchant scrolls helped too, but even then he was doing the vast majority of my damage. First time ever making it that far, and on Grueling/Maniac as well.

I got Frieda and Demon Lord to fight the Darkness and it is not holding back on doing terrible things. Walked 67KM each day and SS rank on 1650KM. Beat that speedrunners. Scalding Coffee fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Mar 8, 2014 |

Was directed to this thread from the Steam thread. I love this game. Beat it for the first time last night on easy with my Swordmaster. Cashed in all my levels for Crit chance and had a bad rear end spear so I plowed through enemies. I Sharted is my heroes name, because I play this game late at night drunk which makes it even more interesting.

God I love the ever-loving gently caress out of this game. It has the balance of depth and accessability, and I can actually win unlike most traditional roguelikes that I just don't have the patience for I guess  . Anyways enough of my meaningless rants, I bring a dimension that starts off slow but then has 2 holy shrines and a load of goddess statues. also has 4 dark brotherhood shops and they are right next to each other. Good place to stock up for when you need buddy tablets and other DB items Dimension name is: JMTLRJZT It's where I got my first full clear of the game as well, though I was not loved as I beat all the dark brotherhood guys to death for their stuff, as a Pro Wrestling X5 Hero, of course.

Tried my first naked pro-wrestler run. Not more than half a screen out I came across a dungeon packed with at least 10 enemies. I tried to fight them one on one at the door and got wrecked. Screw Daylight savings time. I'll get another run in. EDIT: The music in this game is awesome. Takes me back to the days of playing a rented SNES game late at night on the living room TV after everyone's gone to bed. Bro Nerd Alpha fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 9, 2014 |

I've just managed an end of the world run as a hero, managed to snag the Queen and 2 legendary weapons along the way. Then I got the World's End Bow, do I have to make another run carrying that to get the true endings?

You do get an ending by using it or another Holy item in a new run.

If I put in a consumable like a vial of health to the dimensional vault and then take it out and use it later does it still remain in the vault for later play throughs?

Your vault only updates when you choose to save it from the postgame menu or win, so yes as long as you don't want to keep anything new from the run or kill the demon lord.

I recently picked this game up, and had quite some fun with it. Really, at like 2,50$ it was practically a steal! Beat it on my first try with a Knight on easy, unlocked some things and moved on to normal. The difference in the challenge is quite noticeable, but not too harsh. However, I just can't seem to get a win out of the Hunter, even on easy. Either I run out of arrows(despite stocking up in towns), or I get murdered by something fierce that I couldn't get away from. Any tips for that class? In general, it seems like the squishy classes are at a massive disadvantage compared to the traditional melee classes. Both in terms of offense and defense. I'm basing that on my tries with the Hunter and the Bard though, so maybe I'm just not seeing how they should be played. Especially the Bard is weird. His deal should be getting helpers, but whoops, you went through half the world without meeting anyone and now you're dead.

Besides starting out on a roguelike, you have to know how enemies behave and buff agility. I beat the Darkness with Hunter on Grueling just by switching weapons around. You can recruit that knight guy in the castle with four charisma.

I haven't been having a lot of luck with Hunter myself, but Bard is pretty easy, actually. If you put one point in Charisma, you can recruit one of the guards in the starting Castle, plus there's a new "here have a nearly free follower" mission every day (need to pump Charisma a bit more to get them AND the guard, tho). And if that's not enough, the Loyal Pet perk can get you another follower that way. Pet's a bit of a glass cannon, tho, fragile as hell. That, plus having dash to run, plus pretty good agility means I tend to have good luck with Bard.

I've found that Hero is incredibly powerful if you start with +4 Charisma perks, because having the starting castle knight around to absorb hits to your back (since they always strike the party member) seems to negate the hero's inherent weakness entirely. I didn't go out of my way to test it, but it didn't seem like the damage to my party member was getting super-multiplied the same way it would have if I'd been the one to get hit. Or maybe that was just because a leveled-up party member tends to end up with relatively high health compared to the player, but either way, it gives you the freedom to run from encounters, which isn't always something the Hero can safely afford to do.

Could someone explain the world generation process and dumb it down for me ? I've been picking the "join other adventurers" online world. I've messed around with the special modifier ones and usually die very fast. Off to try my pirate with +5 Charisma.

They all look the same to everyone. The items in the world and monsters are different for each run and change with each save.

It's the text descriptions that mention the modifiers for said world, I get that part. Has there been any further research into creating your own world ? My custom world "DILDO" was used for me to get an understanding of the mechanics. EDIT: Custom world DILDOOOO is no success. I keep running out of energy before i can do anything worthwhile Bro Nerd Alpha fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Mar 10, 2014 |

Certain terrain drains you. I think the first person who actually visits a new dimension is the only one who modified it into existing.

Does anyone have advice on how to achieve the secret third win condition, killing the Dark Dragon/the Darkness? Every time I've tried, it's ended with getting near-instakilled by a firebreath which fills the screen horizontally, and then finished off by one of the very tough knight-looking enemies that suddenly starts hanging out in the world. The firebreath seemed like it had a 1 turn windup, but since it's 3 tiles across and centered on your character, how are you expected to escape it without burning Awakening/Teleport pills/being a Dash class? I'm assuming those keep happening every so often, meaning I guess you have to win before running out of escape mechanisms or healing?

You can also get enough agility to get double turns on it on to move out of the way, although you won't know until it actually attacks you since you can't see the STOPPED anywhere. fuepi fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Mar 10, 2014 |

Not necessarily hunter-specific, but if you have a melee weapon/shield out instead of the bow, you can Throw arrows (or anything really, but arrows are weightless and cheap) at the demon lord to deplete the barriers, if you want to avoid wasting turns swapping equipment. Thrown damage-over-time items like Vials of Fire/Acid will also bypass the barrier entirely, so those are great to use for whittling the Demon Lord down a bit during the times when you're still trying to run instead of fight. Other things that work about as well as a rooting mechanism for escaping: Teleport Pill, Scroll of Confusion Scroll of Confusion also works super well for when you choose to stand and fight.
