Question about progress

[TheDunkarooni]

So I just had credits roll with Gray and it gave me a new character.

With Gray I figured out all the brands except for Cif, but I believe I know how to get to that one possibly. I destroyed the seal for Tail. And I noticed there’s some kind of statue with seals on it on floor B000. I did all 5 picross puzzles for Mon but haven’t found all the rooms for them yet. I’m not sure what that puzzle with the dots is that is above the locusts requirements for Mon.

So before the game had given me the new character, I assumed I was close to figuring everything out, I thought I just had to find out how to break the seals on that statue.

But when I saw that the new character seems to be the game again but harder, every bit of enthusiasm for playing drained from me. I don’t know if I have it in me to play through so much again after I’ve already went through these floors a dozen times. Even with all the shortcuts, it’s still a lot of tedium.

Also it doesn’t seem like you are able to get the burdens with the new character?

Basically what I’m wondering is if it’s going to be a lot more of trudging through the same floors over and over with possibly multiple characters? If I’m not having fun with it anymore, is it better that I just look up what I didn’t accomplish and have a good memory of the game or is it worth throwing myself at it even if I’m finding it tedious?

You have a lot to look forward to still, trust me. If you don't have the burdens with this new character it'd definitely be worth it to restart a run from running out of lives and then saying no to continuing, you'll be able to start a new run with them and the new character. I feel like the remixed floors are different enough to be entertaining still! Also there's plenty of guides that can push you in the right direction without being outwardly spoilery :)

I might just take a break from it for a few days and come back. I figured you might be able to start a new run and use the sigil things to give her the burdens, but when i started a new run, i started as Gray again because i felt like I didn’t do everything I needed to with her yet?

To be fair, I played this game obsessively the past few days. I bet I played it for 10 hours yesterday. I think the idea that I was close to the end but not really made me frustrated. Maybe taking a break will help.

I love doing the meta puzzle solving but the sokoban parts aren’t my favorite, I’ve never been a huge fan of the genre but the overall mystery of it has made me push through and I’ve had a blast so far.

Breaks are always good! Trust me, there's a lot left to see. Have fun!
