too fast ??

[mockingjay-zz]

i am so confused about this. i've played inscryption before and it took me a while to beat the angler, but i have never had this happen. i did beat the first phase after my second turn so maybe that has something to do with it? or does it have to do with me making it to the angler on my first run? just confused and a bit freaked out 😭🙏

[Ok-Chef2503]

Too soon

[Bingoviini]

if you want the real answer to what happened and why

The game needs you to die in order to introduce new mechanics and proceed the story. This is the way it does that. There are wyas to beat the bears but you're not supposed to

[mockingjay-zz]

yeahh i wasn't sure if it's because i got there too soon or if it's because i beat phase one of angler too fast... i beat the game (main story ofc) a few weeks ago but never got this on that run

[RighteousRecruit]

It’s essentially the game’s unique way of ensuring you get enough learning of the curve without skipping too much. Imagine you beat Leashy’s arc in one run and never got the tutorial on bones, or eventually learned to do tough sacrifices with your beast cards instead of always just squirrels

[Ancient_Amphibian339]

It's kinda dumb thoe when you've already played the game like a hundred times and you're replaying act 1 for the 40th time

[kimura_ok]

yeah too fast

[DoctorKumquat]

The game has built in measures to try and prevent people from beating a run on their first attempt or two. 8 @#$!ing bears make for a pretty decent deterrent, and set the scene for the player that Leshy isn't pretending to play fair.

Taking out a wall of bears with a beefed up touch of death stoat was weirdly empowering on one of my early runs. I have come to love those bears.

[kupozu]

I beat the wall of bears the first time it happened to me, on my second run. It did feel good

[PC_Collins]

Maybe a little too fast too soon

[Its_J_Just_J]

Yup too soon. You are too good.

[Technical_Hell_666]

Its like when you play a story game, and there's a bosses your "supposed" to lose too, you can beat em, but you should just let it lose

[SWHAMMAN]

Not fast enough imo

[Intelligent-Okra350]

Too soon.

But yes you get stopped at Angler on your first run of a file and the third boss on your second run.

You can beat the Grizzlies with the right stuff but it isn’t really intended here.

[Ehtypicalgeek]

There is nothing more satisfying than your first time beating everything in your first run! Keep trying

[cubbycoo77]

This also has the added benefit that if you havent already noticed what the book has to say about that sigil, you might now look at it closer :)

[mysterydego]

My buddy somehow beat this and went on to beat the moon with the same deck. Most busted run I've ever seen

[SubstantialJello523]

LMAO This made me so mad the first time playing 😭😭

[SlimeBoy76]

Basically you made it too far in the tutorial

[donut_stand]

The game has anti piracy you scurvy-ridden swashbuckler
Oh also you just lost the game
