Yeah they look badass, especially if you get like the blood launcher so you're shooting out explosive pellets of blood

for the 2nd time in many many tries i beat the throne. i still had to use crystal for the block/reflect ability. also i didnt realize you have to do something special to loop. so, back at it i guess

Corrupted caves might be the hardest area I've seen so far

It's almost as bad as the Jungle

It's worse because of the randomly teleporting crystals that can instakill you with no warning and the fact that literally 100% of the floor can be covered in webs if you're unlucky. Any strong build can clear the jungle. For the purple crystal caves, you need a strong long range weapon (can't risk fighting crystals at close range) and a way of dealing with sticky floors (hammerhead or extra feet).

Yeah. I don't like the crystals. All of the instant kills really piss me off. For example, I have never died to regular enemies when looping. It's always that loving van

better than getting three cursed pop rifles in a row :barf:

does anyone use plasma guns? i always thought they are a more expensive version of the grenade launcher with worse reload time. it doesn't help that the bullets are slow as hell and anything you're trying to shoot will be in the other half of the world by the time they reach. the plasma cannon is fun though

the plasma guns are really good, with Pop Pop and Scarier Face a plasma cannon shot absolutely shreds anything you point it at

Laser brain is one of the best mutations for specific weapons too since it's just a straight damage increase

You also share rads and perks so it's harder to do specialized builds that are really effective

I keep getting so close to beating this, but I can't quite manage to beat the throne. I can get past Lil Hunter fairly consistently, though.

Just looped for the first time, it was on the weekly though so not an amazing feat. I find the throne a lot easier if you get a melee weapon like the shovel to destroy the big exploding shots

You can also stay in the center and bait the throne into firing the laser repeatedly

I was stuck on him for like a few months worth of playing the game on and off but once I finally beat him i never die to him anymore. Pretty much all my deaths came from getting scared and spazzing out lol but now I'm really comfortable with his patterns
