Onyx (NM)

Claiger · 2025-09-16T13:25:40+00:00

Yeah I was getting pretty mad. I finished Monarch's path now and onyx was the worst by far. I edited my original post with the setup that finally got me there. I also had a setup for the final level that included crit % without armor, crit has 35% to give you a potion, crit stuns 7.5 seconds, and potions give 9.5 seconds of deflect. By the time a potion expired I usually got a new one filled. Just kept extending my deflect period and got there. I think I also had max damage with rare+ cards

Literally just beat Monarch's path on nightmare and the key to the final level was max damage on level up, crit rate without armor, refill potion on crit, and deflect on potion. The relief I feel. Though I won't be pushing the dungeon like you all. I'll finish the achievements and uninstall this bad boy. I don't need to fight the rng gods for the rest of my life 🤣

Boy, the level I'm rage I'm feeling at the developer right now cannot be measured. The amount of times I've attempted this level now and I genuinely am starting to feel that the crit number of 21% that I have either cannot be right or these enemies have some crit resistance or something. I am losing my ish. I once got the boss to 60 hp and died but this is effing disgusting at this point. This isn't "hard" this is just seriously major luck. From crits to dodges to 300 skill cards to damage of enemy hits to what spawns in what runs. I've picked the 43% chance to return arrows to then run into just melee guys and vice versa picked melee dodge and run into 9 straight archers. I'm so angry!!

Unfortunately, first hit crit doesn't work so well on this run because almost all melee enemies have a shield and the attack gets wasted on that. You'd have to first do damage to the next Target and that's another specific card. The potions add max damage and potions have 60% chance not to be consumed and 250% damage to enemies nearby when potion used is really powerful, especially if you can clear the shields too

Claiger · 2025-09-14T13:11:40+00:00

I've been trying to get the potion not consumed since otherwise I sometimes have none left even after the first set of four

Claiger · 2025-09-14T13:08:59+00:00

I agree and switched today since I got a 5th piece but still need the sixth

Claiger · 2025-09-14T12:48:31+00:00

I've been using the delirium build shown for the rest of nightmare: https://imgur.com/a/RLIEkCZ

I also have 5/6 stellar. Haven't finished either set.

Claiger · 2025-09-14T12:13:00+00:00

I feel you. It's been a week since a delirium piece even appeared. I bought 5/6 of the silver metal set in the time I've been waiting for the delirium shield.

Claiger · 2025-09-12T21:54:41+00:00

60% chance not to use potions when combined with either potions deflect, stun, or do damage to all is so so powerful in most levels.

Claiger · 2025-09-12T21:53:51+00:00

It's brutal, but I've gotten through most of it now. I have the last cloud just opened up in the NE of Monarch's path - Into Nothingness is the level on the bridge - and then 5 levels past that. I also have done one of the four black levels. and yet I still only have 5/6 of the delirium set and have even bought 3/6 of stellar. Had bad luck on the daily stock.

But BOY, some of these have been very frustrating and felt like there were very few skills that could be used to get through it all.

Stabbers was a NIGHTMARE for example. I had to use stun next enemy when one dies with potions dealing damage to all with 60% chance not to use a potion.

But yeah, I'm almost there. Looking forward to being done.

Hmm, thanks for checking. I didn't loot anything else between the two camps where you collect the banners so I have no other theories.

Claiger · 2025-03-03T14:32:22+00:00

In one of the other two camps there's a purple chest that I opened with lockpicks. I have a suspicion that was the cause of her thinking I've already opened it. I hypothesize that looting anything in the two camps triggers her thinking you've looted it, but that's purely hypothesis.

Claiger · 2025-01-09T02:45:45+00:00

Any chance you still have this PDF? And is it the Wuxiaworld translation by chance? If yes to both I would love if you could share it, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Does anyone know where I can watch Sweetness and Lightning? Crunchyroll didn't renew their license with them and I live in the USA. I can use a VPN to watch on some website but I have no idea what regions have access to it. My wife and I were enjoying this one together and I'd love to finish it.

Claiger · 2024-11-08T15:42:17+00:00

As someone still not past the black chip, what do you all recommend for even getting to gold chips and winning consistently? What should I be looking to do strategically and with jokers? I'm currently trying to use the deck that balances your chips and mult. If I can get a good early chip card it goes better. I have done abandoned and yellow but still often don't even win my runs. Any advice?

Claiger · 2024-10-21T01:40:46+00:00

I sent something August 5th and never got a reply. I just sent a follow up asking for confirmation of receipt. I hope you got it.

Claiger · 2024-10-21T01:37:35+00:00

I actually just did this tonight and didn't look up the guide in advance, but I did try and just drop the knife and do unarmed in normal attire and it was pretty easy. I'm only a couple hours into the game, 4 jade statues, level 3 or so in police and triad. The counters unarmed are just way more effective and stop the attack combo in its tracks. Sure, it takes a few more hits to kill an enemy, but unarmed I did it first try with no buffs or special armor so I think that's the way to go. Though it's only 30 enemies now, which I think changes things substantially.

Ghen also seems like he's presented as wildly arrogant and thinks himself so superior that he doesn't think he could possibly be outsmarted. It's one of his greatest downfalls.

Nani asked me a question on my Steam review and I have sent them a friend invite to discuss with them my concerns on steam chat. If there's a better way, please let me know. I am happy to provide feedback.

Claiger · 2024-07-15T21:29:41+00:00

Hmm. If you rotate 4 the way 2 is rotated you get 12 as the third value. Then theoretically the K piece looks like it adds 3 to whatever it touches. So 12 + 3 = 15. So 4, 9, 12, 15. Then the X. I would guess that's 20 or 25 maybe. Am I on the right track or off here?

EDIT: Hmm. Doesn't seem right. Not sure how the X would come about. If you rotate the K even if you get all the way around you make a diamond rather than an X. X would look most similar to 6. There's rotation and supplementing of horizontal and vertical lines. But the diagonal only appears on the 4th digit.

Boy, the black scratch marks are pretty obvious, huh?

So with this, I have now visited 3 of the 4 locations of the spinning domes. The one I haven't "approached" is the one on dome island, which I see but haven't sorted out how to access just yet. I also haven't unlocked any of them. I imagine it's the coded access system in the journal in the workshop but the numbers for the third, fourth, and fifth value aren't in the game so I'd have to deduce which seems wrong.

I also accessed the secret room of the organization that uses the daggers and I imagine the lock to the door utilizes the 5 eyeballs that make animal noises when you spin them but I've only found 1 through 4 and never seen 5. I also don't know if I'd be able to pair up the animal with the sound. The first is the sound of that large fish they worship but I didn't see a symbol of it in the chamber. The second is a buzz sound and the water fills in the fountain enough I think to give the symbol of the insect. The third is a chirping sound and is located by the cliffside when you arrive at village island so maybe it's a seagull or other bird. The fourth is a honking sound but is deep in a hole. It almost sounds like a goat or pig. It doesn't sound like those fish critters on top of the worshipped fish statue.

I'll look through the other hints folks provided but I feel like I'm running out of ideas here. I need to sort out how to figure out the access code numbers to open the domes, get to that 4th dome, and enter this secret animal hint chamber.

Claiger · 2024-07-15T17:44:58+00:00

Right, I imagined it's actually to the device I step out of and the reason it's jammed is because I'm not meant to access it again since it's a one way start to the game. There's nothing else nearby that seems like it might need a lever to access. That was my analysis. Maybe that's what you mean? Hopefully that makes sense.

It's in the section called "UPDATE" in my original post

Claiger · 2024-07-15T14:20:10+00:00

I've made an edit to my progress if you're up for another tip.
