TeaJay posted:Speaking of the new miniboss in the chasm between ice caves and mines it feels like he's completely overpowered to the level I'm usually at that point. I even got a pretty good fast-shooting wand with magic arrows and was doing like 1-2 damage to him and barely dented his health bar when he pulverized me with one nuke. I generally do not have an end game capable wand at that point and he definitely seems like he needs very good one to kill with. I've been able to escape him every time by jumping on the two floating rocks and then up the side until I reach the bridge. Granted so far it's only been half a dozen times I've tried since 1.0. Maybe I've just been lucky?

TooMuchAbstraction posted:They're fireflies! Speaking of the mighty pikkutulikärpäset, I adore the enemy names in the game even as someone who usually finds Finnish in video games kind of awkward-sounding. My favorite is "Kiukkumöykky" which is just a beautiful word all around, and also doubles as an apt description of myself after yet another amazing run goes sideways due to some dumb mistake.

Adding a pro·nun·ci·a·tion info to those lovely Finnish words could be nice?  I go crazy for the lore, but look away in terror when attempting to read (dumbdumb is me)I feel like a shaman baller when certain environmental accidents go exactly my way though

Finally got my first W! Had one VERY bad scare when I cleared out an area of the Jungle to do some tinkering and an enemy must have picked up some loving wand from hell that shot rapid, homing tanks of the freezing gas from Hisii base at me . Thankfully they didn't explode and just piled up around me but good lord that's a scary thing to happen from offscreen edit: drat my wand had always cast lava to blood on it too, I really should have gone and checked out Hell.

CodfishCartographer posted:I suppose I should re-word my previous hiisi base statement to be more in line with what I was trying to say: it's fully possible to beat hiisi base (and the whole game for that matter) with basic no-frills wands. However, it will be generally very slow and not very fun. I remember a while back in this thread someone posted a video clearing hiisi base with just spark bolt on the starting bomb wand, and a lot of the thread consensus was "yeah it's possible, but boy does that look boring and tedious" Mana + Ping Pong Path + Luminous Drill On a fast use wand. Throw in whatever other modifier you like. Freeze is really great. You end up getting a lightsaber the size of the screen.

The mods I use are Tinker Wands Anywhere, and a couple others that make ALL items glow like wands when obscured by fog of war. Health, chests, yahta yahta. There’s a lot less “explore every nook and cranny” and more “how the gently caress am I getting over there?” Zesty fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Zesty posted:Mana + Ping Pong Path + Luminous Drill That sounds rad as hell! Ping pong path seems a bit too rare for that to be super reliable though. After a few more runs of being much more liberal with limit-use spells, I will take back part of what I said - they are fairly useful if you get multiple of the same one!

Hey, if we’re posting don’ts, or Noitan’ts as I call them: don’t put a bunch of music on an always-cast-blackhole supercharged hack wand and throw a Random at the start thinking it’ll pick a random note I don’t even have a gif but it was fast mayhem right up until the end.

I guess you note the spell arrangement when you find them and then there’s a place you can go and decode a message that tells you how to play them to unlock a thing. ORRRRR, you load them up to make a nifty song of your own and ignore the rest of it. Multi-cast modifiers totally work, for extra fun!

The 2 instruments have 4 songs each that do things, 3 of them summon dumb crap (such as a holy hand grenade) and the other one makes a portal to exploration fun stuff.

Been playing for about 20 hours and just got past the jungle for the first time and all the way through to the Temple of the Art with this thing: It was just wrecking everything totally, it made ludicrously short work of Stevari, twice.

Shoutouts to the Dragon for having this silly thing: Why yes, 20 nukes is a completely proportionate response to anything. Except I had unlimited spells so I really only needed, like, eight of them, maybe. It's gonna take me awhile to get used to the swapped potion use buttons. The new control scheme is objectively correct but my reflexes are baked in pretty hard, apparently.

I have made two key discoveries today! One: Concentrated Mana + Water = More Concentrated Mana! Discovered that one completely by accident, and is especially useful since water is plentiful and Concentrated Mana can melt steel beams. Two: Giga Black Hole functions completely differently than Black Hole. Do not mistake the two.

Still so proud of the wand I made once that was spark bolt with trigger -> faster shot speed -> extra shot duration -> homing shot -> matter eater shot -> giant explosion on slimed enemies -> slime mist I did not have explosion immunity, so it was incredibly dangerous to be anywhere near enemies with it, but watching it zip around through walls to explode everything nearby was a thing of beauty.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Still so proud of the wand I made once that was Yeah, this was basically Homing perk, and a wand that was spark bolt with trigger -> damage aura -> damage plus -> triple split -> slime mist -> slime mist -> slime mist. It just flies around and melts everything. Then as the run went on and I got a better wand, I just piled on poo poo like heavy shot and more mana and more mists. And eventually got slime blood so I wasn't moving at half speed. The only thing that can really screw me on a mist build is either those reflecting assholes or if I get too careless and get poly-ed somehow. I should have looped back up and gone NG+ or gone east/west world because I really haven't had a run that easy since.

Is there a comprehensive list of the new enemies? I've seen a fair few of new guys and I always like seeing their art (when they're not blowing me to pieces). Those flying toasters can get hosed though.
