I first saw this image well before getting to the cube boss and it made the anticipation way worse than the actual fight imo.

I'm playing a fun Ritualist build but there is a specific place in Losomn (the Mirror room with the golden vase event) where my status effects chain to the dozens of breakable objects and my game can't handle it and it crashes lol. Hopefully this is unintentional and a fix is incoming.

Ritualist owns, I have a gear setup that lets me apply all four elemental dots by myself and everything just dies around me

Pretty sure the Miasma Ritualist build chokes the game a bit because of all the enemies getting ticks of DOTs around me. It owns.

Am I correct to think I could start a veteran run and my existing gear would carry me for a while even if I take two new archetypes?

No I'd in fact recommend playing through the whole game in veteran once just because the loot is the same no matter what

One thing worth knowing before atomizing a bunch of resources is that Relic fragment upgrades are difficulty level gated, once you have a pile of that resource don't feed it all to Dwell while on Veteran

Why use Miasma when you can get that many dots just using the right weapon/mod setup and then cause dozen simultaneous explosions with Eruption?

It's better to have one fully leveled Archetype equipped along with one you want to level. The game splits exp between the two archetypes if both need it, where as if you have only one archetype equipped that needs the exp it gets all of the exp.

Also you don't gimp yourself as much.

It's easier to kill things you don't even know are there yet with miasma so I run with that. I do know what you're saying though and I really do miss eruption when I'm using miasma but found that more useful personally.

I understand your point but I cannot give up fully stacked Eruptions which are the most satisfying button push in the entire game

That is very good to know, I guess I will keep one of my level 10 ones equipped.

What's your weapon setup out of curiosity? I'd like to switch to Eruption instead of Miasma and it seems like the following would be the most convenient setup that I can think of to get all 4 status effects:

Primary:
Sparkfire Shotgun (Burning)
Mod: Corrosive Rounds (Corroded)
Mutator: Twisting Wounds (Bleeding)

Melee:
Krell Axe (Overload)

then whatever for Secondary. I'm using Enigma due to inertia for times when I don't feel like throwing an axe.

Sparkfire Shotgun with the lightning orb mod and twisting wounds gives me burning, bleed and overload. I use Nebula as a secondary weapon because the corroded debuff it applies lasts 30 seconds.

From day one. Pretty sure scaling applies by player, so everyone can team with everyone and get power-level-appropriate rewards, and even advanced players have some incentive to play at lower difficulties.

I like upsetting my CPU by pushing eruption when enemies are clustered together with a lot of breakables.

I just beat the Red Prince and the game immediately crashed with fatal error with the last hit. Looks like the progress saved, but if I was supposed to get some loot or something, I didn't. Now I guess I'm hunting the Nightweaver.

You need to go back to where you beat the Red Prince and a new path will have opened up

Yeah, found the path, just wondered if I missed any loot by not being able to loot the Prince.

What fun, a two-phase boss battle with 3 heals. It doesn't seem THAT hard, but I find the dodging pretty .. dodgy to pull off reliably.

lol my Losom boss (second world!) was the One True King, I assumed that would've been postgame or something!

Anyways I finished the game yesterday, I enjoyed the final boss - pretty trippy. The story was amazingly bad though but not like I care, the moment to moment gameplay is great. Now time to start replaying stuff and helping randos.

Edit: Also I'd no idea the flashlight you have from the beginning has the combination to the treasure chest inside the Founder's office lmao

I really wish they'd take the time to optimize this game a bit. It's perfect for Steam Deck and yet it's apparently not well-supported at all. Anyone given it a trial run lately? I heard the Awakened King tanked it on the Deck...

I think it's just a promo for the game as a whole, showcasing one of the secrets (get the navigator's helmet, take it to the crashed ship and unlock the door to get the plasma cutter)

Cube is such a good boss because it's so predictable in its movements. It will always follow a single pattern invariably.

I think that's what makes it a bad boss, tbh. When you don't know the pattern, you insta die for loving up. When you do know the pattern, its boring.

The secrets can be really cool, especially when you learn the things to look out for

I am completely fine with people running my dumb rear end through the extremely hard ones, though

I'm always amazed at how much care and detail was put into this vs games that have ten times the personnel and capital

That was the best gotcha moment in the game for me. I was already so low on supplies from running from the stupid invincible mob that haunts you in this dungeon... and then SURPRISE!!

The fact this can end up your very first dungeon on Hardcore is way too funny, it was mine.

i have a really stupid scrap build where I can pick up scrap and iron at range, which gives me shields that then feeds into a ring that gives health back when shields are up

I use the krell axe as a backup in case there's nothing nearby to pick up, and have a ring that heals my team when I heal

https://l0wskilled.github.io/remnan...dFQMLCFcwqgAXSA
and yeah the scrap is the real grind, and I'm afraid to use this past veteran even though I think it could handle the next difficulty but not apocalypse (if there's an actual dps on the team)

that mob isn't invincible, you damage it by shooting the orb it throws at you.
