Whew, finally beat the game. Got the last boss down by just spamming guardshrooms, but hey, whatever works. I do wish you didn't have to grind so much in this game, that was my one major issue with it. I liked it enough that I know I'll come back to it when more floors are added, anyways. Now to debate hunting the jackals down before putting the game up for a while.

Nah the treasure hunter decal only protects you from it containing gold. It'll still show as a materials icon if it's a blueprint.

No. Anything that isn't an r&d metal shows up as a regular chest. Can confirm this by looking at it before you check like any red chest on 31-40. At least half of these are blueprints and they show as chests.

I think I had about 70 hours playtime in the game, but quite a bit of that was just my tendency to leave the game on when I was doing other stuff.

So right now I'm in the process of upgrading my armor. I'm rocking the Agamemnon gear but I feel like there might be something better. Any recommendations on what to get that has good slash resist since everyone uses Cleaver Sabers (EVERYONE USES THIS NOW :gonk:), Pork Choppers, and Masamunes?

Wait, question. Does the game eat my 1-Days if I set it to Auto-renew but HAVEN'T been on in a few days? Because I'm worried I'll lose my temp express stuff if it does.

I sort of hope they don't add more floors, I'm not too keen on spending even more time on it than I already have. Even if the ending heavily implies they're going to :(
When and if that happens I might just pass on it.

F20 boss was really really easy it seems, I didn't get hit once during the disarming or the boss himself.

Irons are strong guys.

And I just inadvertently unlocked 4-star fighters. Okay, nice.

I got in on this a bit last night. How far away do you have to get before they respawn? I noticed going a coupla floors away didn't do it. Do I have to go back to the waiting room or?

Waiting room refreshes all floors (also wiping maps) so that's probably best. Maybe a good use of a one day pass?

And a reminder the snailshrooms make you immune to poison and fire and for a while, for those frustrated by the big fire puddle or want to knock the snails down then pick them up

Well I beat F23 Goto on the first go around, used some pork choppers I picked up but ugh, I can tell every boss from now is just gonna be a damage check. And that means more grinding.

Awesome.

Turns out cheesing him with cloak shroom works great, I just ironed his rear end out for the rematch while he plodded along. And again he drops coins the loving rear end in a top hat lmao

Yeah, I actually like this game less and less the further I get into it which is a massive shame. I want to finish it but at this point I really kind of don't feel like it anymore. I don't think I'm necessarily burnt out on it because I have been pacing myself, it's just not very fun when both you and enemies can 2 or 3-shot each other with one stun lock. :/

I think that was getting to be my issue as well. If you don't have fully upgraded gear for that gauntlet of floors = you get 2-shot

If you do have appropriately upgraded armor and weapons, you can 2-shot everything else

Maybe if the combat was more nuanced and there wasn't awful delay/reach on some weapons. I really like the claws but the first attack has like no forward motion unless you do the R1, even then the durability melts. Worse yet you get beat out by drat near every other attack, long wind up that leads into a huge combo isn't necessarily bad except enemies chunk off your health while doing it. I'm also realizing I now have to start the grind all over for 3-star stuff. Ah well, I'll see how far I go before I get bored.

It gets a little easier with each new class of fighters you get. The boost in stats from 4 star to 5 is massive. Also on floors 31+ you'll get blueprints for 3 star gear that blows the 21-30 floor gear out of the water.

You don't need to grind to hell and back to beat the game but the more you do, the more it helps. Also always believe in the power of the mushroom - the secret to your success.

That's reassuring at least. It's not even that the game is super hard yet or anything, I'm playing this game pretty slowly and I haven't died since uh, probably since I was using 2-star fighters.

Anyway, what are some good weapons to research up for the next few floors? I got the Cleaver Saber BP pretty early on and I got the Flame Wand BP super early, somewhere in the 10s. I see people talk about the katana but I haven't gotten the BP for it yet. Oh and I got the Welding Gun BP but I'm not playing any shooters yet. Just a nudge in the right direction so I know what to spend hours farming for next.

Cleaver Saber is a really good start since you have the blueprints for it already. Farm the Floor 22 Kawabe golden chest for M.I.L.K. Black Metals and the rest of the materials should come as you farm. It does very respectable damage and getting your mastery up in it unlocks a special R1 poke that temporary stuns enemies (and will even damage the tubers with the long claws while they're blocking!). It's also super beastly in the hands of NPCs so great for base defense/killing expeditions.

Floors 31+ you'll get the Masamune and Pork Choppers blueprints and both of them are excellent. Masamune upgraded has huge damage and Pork Chopper also has huge damage for a 1-hander plus it poisons. Handy for high level haters since they'll keel over trying to vomit out the poison.

Well I got locked out of the two fights going on, again, without losing. Again it was for doing a dev room raid, so I suggest you don't do these or any general raiding until you've gotten the amount of fight points you want I guess.

Suddenly filled with a burst of determination, I pushed through and beat the game. I posted a while back about someone accidentally spoiling the ending for me, but they missed an incredibly critical element that I think made it very worthwhile to actually get there myself. Overall I think Let It Die is a fantastic, if pretty heavily flawed game, and I look forward to seeing whatever the developers decide to expand upon in the coming months.

Final verdict: Uncle Death rules

Dev raids have the Yotsuyama Corp symbol instead of a state/country. But they also have the same gibberish (is it gibberish? I've never read what the letters are) as what appears in front of dev haters as well.

Worth noting you get fight points just for picking the right targets when this happens. My fight tab seems to be sending me up against Germany now for some reason, there isn't even a fight going on with them right now. :psyduck:

I think they goofed something up in the menus when they patched it so you could do non-fight raids in between, honestly.

Well I'm stuck in F16 JIN-DIE with no boss and an invisible collision box where she was supposed to spawn... now what? Not my lucky night.

E: I damaged her with shrooms... gonna try more.

E2: I can move her collision off of ledges but Red Hot Iron and other attacks do nothing. I'm out of shrooms.

E3: Pushed her down into the water where it's safe to try more things.

WELL, no dice. Tried to find a height where she could take damage, or maybe push her through the world. For some reason explosions had no trouble hitting her.

What the gently caress is it with Dev Haters and their perfect guards every time. It's fighting hard mode CPUs in street fighter or something. Whatever.

So I've come across the blueprints for the Cleaver Saber, Motor Psycho and the Bloody Pitching Machine. Seeing as how MILK black metals are particularly annoying to farm which should I prioritize? Or should I just go with one and forget the others?

wait the pitching machine is ranged, so I'm probably not gonna dump upgrade mats into that.
