I've been cleaning up trophies for Warm Snow, but I'm missing two bits of story that don't seem to be dropping. Am I supposed to be beating the chapter 4 boss until his drops or is there a step I'm missing?

been trying to make a transformation build work in path of achra this is the farthest ive gotten. pretty sure wormform and snakeform are absolutely neccesary because they work with the god and the prestige class, but the third one im not sure on. batform is nice because it triggers really easily as an apostle but a big problem is that you cant really control which form you end up on and for some reason batform always comes on top and its pretty squishy. any ideas? babypolis fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Do good early on with the earlier levels, and you get an advantage that can get you through the later stuff you're not as consistent with. My issue with ETG still remains the sluggishness of clearing rooms and floors. Game would be better served with smaller floors and rooms that have more enemies with less HP.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Always nice to see someone discovering Dungeonmans for the first time! It's one of my favorites. As for your questions: Hey, thanks for your answers. Some follow-ups: I've heard about the pig vendor. I've glanced at a couple guides on Steam and it was mentioned. I've bought the thing I think I need to access the shop, just gotta find the person. Do they have a unique sprite or do I need to try to talk to every NPC in every town? So the stock has to be bought completely out before turning in the Inventory items? Turning them in with inventory left doesn't add any more items? I've noticed some shops that sell skill books and they are ridiculously expensive (and only pay a handful of coppers if I try to sell mine, lol) so I guess those shops are a lost cause. Hm, so I guess I can't just level the same chicken constantly. I've stuck with the first one I got and it's pretty beefy at this point and saves my rear end during swarms and boss fights as long as I have potions to keep it alive. I think the in-game text might've explained it already, but how are the abilities passed on to the offspring? If one chicken has 4 and the other one 2, is it random which of those will be on the new chicken? I think I got that map already! I remember finding the injured NPC. If I click on the map in the inventory, nothing seems to happen. New question I just thought of: is there any point in paying for rumors from the bartenders? Will those dungeons appear normally just by exploring the world map?

They're basically a way for you to get more options for how to level up, if you don't like the dungeons that the game made by default.

Gungeon is a game where enemies go down slow and bullets are slow with very low lethality but it means that once you get decent in the game you can just stand out in the open and shoot and dodge. Nuclear Throne is a game with much faster everything which means being extremely patient and abusing cover to the max is heavily rewarded. Gungeon is the slower game but you can play much more recklessly, which I like. But I know gungeon is um heavily criticized here.

Cowering behind cover is not actually the most effective way to play Nuclear Throne, at least not until loop 3. You should push forward and strafe around aggressively whenever possible because otherwise you get trapped in a hail of bullets. It’s the Dark Souls shield problem again: playing slow and defensive feels effective when you’re starting out, so people stick to it instead of learning to play aggressively, and then it makes their game less fun, because it’s not only slow but actually not that effective either.

No Wave posted:That cant work on stage 3. I hate stage 3. The scrapyard? That's actually one of the levels that rewards mobility most, I find. Trying to stick near cover can sometimes be helpful if you're having trouble with the snipers and salamanders, but for the most part you want to try to stay on the move. Strafe laterally and keep an eye out for assassins. If you're really feeling gutsy, you can bring a melee weapon in your other slot and nail the timing on the snipers' shots. Really impresses people in co-op, let me tell you

No Wave posted:That cant work on stage 3. I hate stage 3. The junkyard snipers don't force you to stay in cover, but they do make you duck into cover briefly from time to time, or get good at timing melee swings. Staying mobile really is the best way to play -- like megane says, if you try to bunker down, you'll end up getting swarmed and with no room to maneuver. Mind you, there are certainly times when you want to limit your exposure to enemies. The main one that comes to mind is Little Hunter, where ideally you want to be fighting only him and nothing else. From the start of 5-3, you have like 5-10 seconds to find a cul de sac and clear it out of enemies, otherwise you'd best hope you can kill him very quickly. (which is possible, dude dies in like 3 crossbow bolts) edit: oh, you meant the ice levels. You absolutely will get swarmed by yetibots and wolfbots if you try to bunker down as a baseline strategy. You need to hide if one of the tripods gets their ranged attack off, sure, but ideally you kill them before they start shooting.

Do you mean the junkyard or the frozen city? It works in both those places. There are always going to be rooms with high enemy density that you have to fire into to clear them out a bit before you can push in, and of course you should always be using the terrain to get good angles so you can shoot things safely, but that’s not quite the same as hiding behind cover. I’d say the only fight in the game where I have to go behind cover and just sit there for more than a second is Mom (because of poison clouds), and that’s not until loop. And even then it only happens if the terrain is so bad I can’t get line of sight on her. e: f;b

The main thing there is to bring some serious firepower and place your shots well - you need to ace the yetis before they catch you, you need to blow up the spiders before they blast you, and you need to clear out a space to fight in real loving quick before Lil' Hunter drops in. Mobility is still pretty important, but lethality is even more so there.

My favorite thing in Nuclear Throne is bringing a bazooka to the Frozen Wastes and just nailing every robot with a rocket to the face. My second favorite thing is firing just before I've finished moving out of cover, and lodging a rocket into the wall two inches in front of my face

That reminds me: Trigger Fingers is the mutation to up your game in Nuclear Throne. A lot of slow-but-powerful weapons become devastating when you get Trigger Fingers. If y'all've forgotten, Trigger Fingers reduces your reload time every time you kill something. I forget the exact numbers, but even just one kill per shot is a big increase in your fire rate. If you want to run crossbows (aside from the autocrossbow, of course), explosives, melee, or the big energy weapons, it's a must-have IMO.

tokenbrownguy posted:seriously you can just flick through random poo poo on steam and find absolute gold that would've been genre defining 15 years ago I mean that's great, but they're not really 'new' anymore. RLs have a very long staying power, but it's not like we can get forks of these projects and so it's been a few years since the last "oh poo poo, I GOTTA try that out" came around. So I think the answer basically boils down to Rift Wizard 2.

Nuclear Throne chat: There are a lot of easy ways through the snow area, my favorite is playing as YV with a shovel and long arms. You can get by without long arms if you are quick, but if you play your corners well it's very safe. Even better with stress and/or scarier face, the latter especially since it changes a LOT of enemies from taking two hits to die with a shovel or crossbow to one. Similarly, YVs passive + stress reduces the cool down of the shovel swings enough to become very forgiving, especially once your health gets real low (which synergizes fantastically with boiling veins, which would be amazing even if it didn't).

Anyone ever hear of Withering Rooms before? Stumbled upon it today and it looks cool and weird as hell. Sort of a roguelike metroidvania meets Clock Tower? I'm gonna give it a whirl. While it says it's EA, apparently the game is functionally complete -- the dev is just waiting to coordinate an official 1.0 launch with upcoming console version releases.
