Are synergies supposed to overwrite Duct Tape? I attached a Glacier to a Crestfaller, then picked up a Potion of Gun Friendship, and now all I have is a regular Crestfaller.

I would think synergies break duct tape since duct tape is pretty much just a forced synergy?

half the time you wont have anything

1st floor has no parts.
2nd floor has 1 part in the shop for 110.
3rd floor has 1 part in the minecart maze. you dont need water to do it. you can ride the cart and roll to the next cart ride the invisible path until you line up with a cart and hop over.
4th floor has 1 part You DO need water or oil or something that splashes on the floor as this part is in a big empty room with a spiked floor the path changes every time so you MUST bring a mess making weapon.
5th floor has 2 parts. 1 you get from talking to the blacksmith herself. one you get from killing the high dragun and then breaking his skull after you kill him (you can go back to the blacksmith after killing him)

It WILL take you multiple runs cause poo poo will happen lol

Or do what I did and use the casings ejected from the starter pistol to make a clear-ish path to the lead. it takes a while, but it works

Got the gnawed key to 5 shells and left it there waiting for the perfect run. Ended up getting it with Marine, ton of super good guns and a few helpful passives. Found the rats lair and went in and my game crashed and reset everything.

Haha I'm upset.

I finally beat the rat and my reward was three of the worst weapons in the game (bow + mac10 + helix) + a wheel of cheese.

I really don't like the implications that I have to do another 3 runs or get good at the punchout game in order to unlock the other three items (since there are 4 chests), let alone doing whatever it is I need to do to get my hands on the egg / snake in order to fight the advanced dragun.

unfortunately those implications are correct, and even if you clear the punchout game you'll probably get only 3 keys tops unless you're very good at building your special charge (he drops an extra key for every time you KO him with a fully charged special attack)

he'll drop a key for any special attack KO, you might just get a bonus key for fully charged ones i think

Here's an idea, game devs: what if when you fight the rat for the first time an arcade cabinet shows up in the breach and you can (gasp) practice the punch out fight??

Any special attack knockdown will kick out a key and a swing at you with Casey. If all three of your knockdowns are 3-star specials, he'll drop three keys at the end instead of two. One for beating him, one for the special KO, one for all three-special knockdowns.

Probably because it's literally the only fight in the game that does it and once you DO practice it enough you'll never need to use it again. Seems like a waste of resources and time.

Like I can get it, I haven't done it myself but I understand the frustration but at the same time it'll probably start coming easier and easier the more you do rat runs.

I need to see where the loving hurt boxes are. I swear i shouldnt get hit by a shot and then bam it loving hits and the robot has a big head it feels like his hurtbox is bigger.

in other words gently caress the robot he makes me hate this game so much. I only have him and bullet left and ive been doing nothing but robot runs to be loving done with it and all I do is get loving pissed because every goddamn loving run i get some poo poo I cant loving use because the loving robot loving sucks. its worse trying to skip to the end because then you have loving NOTHING.

Nope, but it'll give an indicator as to which ones in your inventory are synergized by clicking on it in the Ammonomicon.

Holy poo poo, the composite gun makes bosses a complete joke. I had a couple bullet buffs to increase its damage but that was probably the easiest run I've ever had.

I got a gold junk with Ser Junkan and he climbed into a huge mech and ran around rooms blowing poo poo up so that was unreal :stare:

Strangely enough I don't think it's as good as Angel Junkan though. He wasn't constantly spitting out a billion bullets and spent a good amount of time just striking cool poses or doing this kinda slow looking slash with a energy sword.

Got super close to Lead God achievement today, then got stupidly hit by the dragon one time. A couple runs later and I am finally the Lead God after 82 hours. Ended up with the metronome on floor 3 or 4 then I just used Blasphemy for the rest and didn't get hit. Really satisfied because the time before I should have had it easily but I thought I had a dodge and I hosed it up. Guess the Rat and Advanced Dragun are all that's left.





Though I did get hit in bullet hell and lost my uber Blasphemy the Lich Still died easily to the Eye of the Beholster

i wish weapons didnt auto switch when you picked them up. makes it really awkward for when i have a metronome stack and a good gun drops that I don't really want to swap to at the time

I think you can turn off weapon auto switch in the menu but man it's been so long I don't recall. I generally have the same issue. If not then Dodge Roll Games why??

Yeah that was another thing I skipped picking up some weapons or changing weapons to refill ammo. Didn't bother looking in the menu if that was an option or not but would be nice if it was.

In fact it would be better if metronome dropped its buff if you killed a guy with another weapon. That way you could refill ammo too.

Haha yeah that's the exact reason i implemented a script specifically for "you don't lose Metronome stacks on switching a weapon" in my cheat table. Icould'vve disabled loss on getting hit, too, but no, it's just a little script to make it less of a hassle to use.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Today marks the fourth time I've made it to the Pilot's past and died. The worst part is I can kinda see how easy the pattern should be once you get the rhythm going but without practice I always cave under the pressure :negative: (and for the record I've beat every other past within 1-2 tries)

This was also a run where I got Ser Junkan and the AKEY-47 on the same floor, meaning he never advanced past the 'tiny bag kicking weakly at enemies'. Sorry little guy!

No way to stop gun switching when picking up guns. However if you do pick up a gun with the metronome the buff will apply to that gun. However you'll lose the buff if you switch back to the gun you were using or any other gun. Kinda makes metronome a very mediocre item imo.
