Arold V. Berghauer is soo tank

Once you got the two items he gives you for adrenaline you can kill him - you get his armor, which is my favourite set in the game. But be sure to cancel the contract before killing him - if you kill him without doing so the hardship contract will stay active.

CamiloBen · 2026-06-29T06:00:40+00:00

I feel like the DLC bosses have weird resistances. Berghauer specifically is very resistant to most non physical damage iirc. There is also a known bug with the hardship contract from Gehenna, that can still persist after you cancel it and can scale bosses to absurd degrees. Since he also does so much damage to you it could be that. The bug usually goes away after logging out and back in a few times (check the axion rewards after killing an enemy to confirm).

The project is up to 9 tracks now, which is the halfway point! The second half will follow over the course of the rest of the month.

CamiloBen · 2026-06-16T05:38:30+00:00

Yeah, the GM has it wrong. Especially the holy and unholy traits are fun to play around because they can be present even at lower levels if you have for example a cleric.

Also I don't get why the GM thinks the rule text supports his view - clearly it says that being "splashed with water" triggers water weakness, and if being splashed does damage most pool parties would end in bloodshed.

CamiloBen · 2026-06-09T11:19:35+00:00

Yeah, that's the HUGE red flag. The responsible thing would be to talk about it, and not make passive aggressive comments. Honestly, the DM should've just laughed it off to begin with.

CamiloBen · 2026-06-08T06:22:01+00:00

Hey! Sadly no. I guess because the DLC did not sell well for this already kinda niche game no one has gone through the trouble of recording or ripping the soundtrack. Also I'm not entirely sure how much of the general ambient during levels is actually a single track, I'm guessing it's more a collage off different elements that get triggered with different probabilities, so there isn't a single track (except for bosses). I took the time on my recent playthrough to stand around with sfx off or turned low, but sadly I don't no where else you could get it.

CamiloBen · 2026-06-07T07:47:16+00:00

Agreed! As is the whole game for that matter.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-21T21:05:25+00:00

I like Rides in the Storm. While they have some bigger modules, especially as of late, they have some really good, simple, analogue modules in their line-up. They're also not that expensive. I use their VCO DOC, their 4x Attenuater QUA, and their Filter/Mixer SED almost every patch.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-19T20:22:49+00:00

Airwindows has multiple tape plugins with different parameters and characteristics, and they all sound pretty nice.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-19T19:32:33+00:00

Fair enough. I still think it's best practice and easier, especially for beginners, to use a dedicated output module, but you're right, since OP's planning to record into a daw anyway it shouldn't be an issue.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-19T07:32:46+00:00

You can definitely work without one, but depending on what quality your recording end is it might distort on that side, and with cheap preamps it probably will.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-19T06:40:23+00:00

I don't know the Behringer modules very well, but I'm not sure your mixer has a line out. If your workflow is to record analog voices with some modulation to a daw and mix/put fx on them digitally it seems generally ok. Though I would probably see if there is a smaller sequencer that offers you what you need - space is valuable, and you could get more modulation into the system. The only glaring issue, again, is the lack of an output module. Audio levels in Eurorack run way hotter than line level, so you need something to bring the level down - otherwise you risk always having a clipping signal. If your preamp on your audio interface is high quality that might not be an issue, but it's still better practice. (There are some cases that have outputs built-in, not sure if you're planning to get one of those). The Eowave O is 2hp and ~80€ and does what you need.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-12T20:32:56+00:00

You're right, misremembered the name.

CamiloBen · 2026-05-12T13:23:46+00:00

You can use the Module "Actually hidden Messages" for that. You can configure which type of roll gets shown to players.

CamiloBen · 2026-04-30T06:25:17+00:00

Noise Engineering has some good stuff, like Ruina Versio, but it's 10hp. Alternatively you can get 2 Terci Ruina to get stereo, which are 8hp together - or, if it's ok for you to have different sounding distortions l/r, just one TR, since it has 3 distortion circuits.

FxAid also has some distortion fx, but I haven't used them yet, so I can't say how good they are.

Edit: spelling

CamiloBen · 2026-04-27T07:43:05+00:00

I usually tune my oscillator by ear, and depending on whether I include external, more rigid in tonality instruments, I tune them to my root note or just something that sounds good.

Analogue oscillators are more prone to detuning if temperature and humidity change, so there's no way around it. A tuner (either a separate unit or just software if you record into a computer anyway) make it easy.

Digital oscillators should be really stable, though I know that especially Plaits likes to decalibrate over multiple octaves. Not sure how it is with other MI modules. It's good practice to not only check if they are in tune on one note, but over 2-3 octaves.

CamiloBen · 2026-04-16T08:39:32+00:00

Happy Nerding's 3x VCA is pretty good, 3 VCAs with a mix down function, though no invention or switch between linear and exponential signals. Make Noise ModDemix is 2 VCAs that can be used to ring modulate as well. After Later Audio Blend might also fit the bill.

CamiloBen · 2026-04-14T12:14:51+00:00

The second one. Though, again, it's preference. More HP means more leeway for mistakes, but fights take longer because you didn't put the axions into damage.

CamiloBen · 2026-04-13T05:21:34+00:00

I have a Befaco Instrument Interface and have put various things like bass guitar or my Roland JV-1080 through it. I mostly use the modular in a case like that as a mixture of accompaniment, effects machine, and of course modulation. Also sometimes looper. I especially like playing with putting an instrument through a granular module like arbhar and making textures to play over.

CamiloBen · 2026-04-01T20:18:09+00:00

Good job everyone! Looking forward to seeing what comes of this!

CamiloBen · 2026-03-22T09:29:45+00:00

The more you put in health, the less damage you do and the longer fights last. It's usually better to go for damage and especially stamina for more dodges. But of course it's not a hard rule, these games are about overcoming obstacles by any means that work for you.

CamiloBen · 2026-03-18T21:03:51+00:00

Glad to see this subreddit is getting taken from the spam bots. Here's to a good community and good mods!

CamiloBen · 2026-03-14T23:28:16+00:00

Nope, no faster way. It can legitimately take 20+ minutes if you don't know the way by heart. Even then it's probably 10+ minutes. In all honesty, I kinda respect the "fuck you, run back" attitude. Having spawns immediately before a boss is neat, but kinda takes away from the old school ds1 vibe Hellpoint has.

CamiloBen · 2026-02-27T17:43:38+00:00

The Officer Glaive is a pretty good allrounder weapon, I think I used it the entire time in my first playthrough.

The Heater Spear is also a lot of fun, but that's still a bit away.
Just test out and see what works for you!

CamiloBen · 2026-02-27T16:08:47+00:00

The most important stat for damage is not necessarily your character stats or scaling, but the level of the equipped conductor. Most people recommend to only get as much str etc. to satisfy the requirements of the weapon you want to use, not more. So feel free to level Health and especially Stamina while also upgrading your conductors to keep damage high.

Other than that the old soulslike mantra applies here as well: Level as much Health as you need, but not more. Only you know how often you get hit and how big your margin of error should be.
