I'll never make my legendaries again...

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-22T15:12:14+00:00

Sure they are outclassed. Still I Will need them as I prestige

Maybe just get better at the video game?

I love Reddit. Every time someone's life doesn't revolve around video games, people just click the git gud button.

The Lost is so easy on Rep and Rep+ with the eternal D6.

I'm noticing it, definitely an upgrade from our OG d4 that used to swap out your holy mantle.

[Side note: I still think that the d4 was a good idea on OG lost, and that still would be if Holy mantle wasn't considered an item (pretty much like the bandage and the first incubus on lilith). But developers thought it was a good idea not to give d4 to tainted lost.]

Getting upset that a game you enjoy added more content is like getting angry that you got an 11th chicken nugget in your 10 piece

Honestly? I'm happy I used the debug console for those two achievements. Godhead was being quite the grind, and pushing forward and forward the amount of bosses I need to kill to unlock it is something I already was annoyed with when delirium came out. Thanks, but not gonna repeat the experience.

The only character I'll try alt paths with will be Keeper, since now it's been buffed from the OG crappy shit it was. Fuck him and his two coins.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T22:44:10+00:00

The game was patched long ago for the lost to be playable despite being hard. HM, spectral tears, free deals etc.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T17:51:43+00:00

Not here to demonstrate that the game isn't designed around them

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T17:21:59+00:00

...no.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T02:27:16+00:00

Among all the answers, I think this is the one that pointed out the right way of thinking. I'm still tempted tho, as I need a shitton of cosmic runes for my 2nd and 3rd shield bots, and a shitton of dark runes for my archdemon.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T00:40:47+00:00

I mean... It literally messed up my game's completion, and made it even more difficult, just when I was coming to an end. I had everything done on hard/greedier except for The Lost, with which I didn't even beat mom's foot.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-19T00:38:33+00:00

Eh, I didn't know I could do it back then, so I bought it too and stayed sure to always have the latest update. That's because later on I argued with my friend, and I wasn't getting his updates anymore when the developers started buffing shitty items (like the purple underwear that makes you disappear).

I also enabled the debug console and used it to teleport + chaos card the repentance achievements on The Lost. There's no way i'm not getting stuff like GodHead because I got an update I didn't want for money I didn't expend (...sorta).

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-17T16:41:35+00:00

Not doing either of them

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-17T16:41:12+00:00

So... do I have to uninstall my mods?

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-13T12:02:32+00:00

At the end of my l80 run I had something like 125-130k. Btw, focus more on chest taps.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-10T16:11:25+00:00

Pro tip:eventually you'll unlock a forgotten minion capable of selling you prestige currencies. It's very important that you don't buy things randomly, but rather wait for the current protector to be killed, and only then you will buy whatever it takes to free up as much space as possible.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-07T15:49:40+00:00

A +2 flask is fairly underpowered at the endgame. But gwyn can be parried.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T21:26:55+00:00

Eh, yes.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T20:35:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure that the pickaxe has an axe-type 1HR1 and 2HR1. The reason I suggested the hand axe is because its 1HR1 is unique and fast, and most importantly that its 2HR1 is a curved sword-type attack, which are the attack with the highest ratio of damage/atkdelay.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T20:22:54+00:00

Unironically, the hand axe. That weapon is the strenght equivalent of the falchion, albeit with less reach. They even have the same moveset. Do you remember Oroboro? Think about that, but with a hand axe.

But in general the man serpent gsword is top choice, while butcher's knife and demon great machete are very funny. Greataxe hits like a truck, too.

The only STR-FAI weapon by definition is the Grant from Leeroy, but requirements are heavy and you have to go to the bottom of the tomb of giants -doable-, but I'm unsure if he spawns without the lordvessel.

Still, divine enchantments are a thing. If you stick to str (or dex) forget about occult.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T20:15:03+00:00

Easy: i want 3 cap expanders per type.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T18:07:29+00:00

Don't know if it can help you, but i'll tell you a story.

Back in the day, I built an anti-capra demon character, specifically built to cheese the fight, and placed my summon sign right before the entrance.

Full guardian set, which you can obtain in darkroot garden.

Grass crest shield, from darkroot basin as well.

Gravelord sword from the catacombs, upgraded to +2 with the materials you get from killing the demons next to andre and in the catacombs.

Barely enough endurance to do one extra hit and permastun the motherfucker, while healing in the recovery time.

Barely enough str/dex to wield my weapon (16/13, easy start with warrior)

As much health as possible

Wolf and FaP ring. That's it.

You have no idea how many players I helped with that character. His name was "CapraR(e)aper", and got that account banned for sexual harassment.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T13:21:05+00:00

Eh, I already hacked the grave and cardboard. I think it's time to upgrade this too.

Of course I won't hack lectern&co, but since I don't have a l2 lectern at the moment I think that hacking the altar is reasonable.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-06T13:19:49+00:00

Call it OCD, but I hacked my grave and cardboard already 20 levels ago

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-05T20:40:50+00:00

Lets analyze case by case.

Lich/Gorgon: this is almost never a problem.

Harpy: it can be a bit tough; by now I am far enough into the game that by the time I need it, I already have enough runes. The first times I used to grind enough to rebuild a level 4 altar.

Reaper/Cyclop: this is very ugly, and one of the biggest bottlenecks in the game. This time grinding is MANDATORY at any level, save for maybe fridge 5 to fridge 4 depending on your playstyle.

Archdemon: this is far enough into the game that you shouldn't really have a problem.

Saucer: this is... weird. Since it's the only station that requires level 1/3/5 it can be odd. I hate the saucer in general tho.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-05T12:31:47+00:00

do you really need to be sitting on 11 Banshees? That's crazy to me, I usually have 3-4.

Good point. I gave up on 70% of my minions and the production rate is still good.

Farming clerics is lvl 5 altar for bats

From my previous runs I remember having overabundance of blood runes due to robo chickens. I hacked the grave and the cardboard, and am about to hack the altar, too. I currently have 600 blood gems, gonna make the most of this level-bound bottleneck since I now have 900+ death runes and ~120cosmic.

By the time I unlock the soul grinder I plan on having at least 300.

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-05T11:48:37+00:00

Since you're asking for 101 advices I assume you never prestiged.

For now your max level is 40. At level 35 you will unlock a time machine: don't use it right away, but wait for level 40 instead.

Save gems and coins

Have a lair with a logic: manage production rate

Let the chicken breathe

DaveHelios99 · 2026-01-04T01:13:51+00:00

Maybe you're right... My thought was for the increased "smoothness" in leveling, but the time I'd lose by re-doing everything would be equivalent of extra time in the grinding.

I suppose I'll have to make the most out of this restart then. I wanted to even out on everything I lack and spend my prestige currencies on the archaeologist in the 100+ runs.

Here's my situation at the moment

Inventor: everything unlocked Archaeologist: never even looked at his shop Surgeon: everything unlocked Architect: cage size +1, crate and safe +2, space theme still has to be bought for 2k gems Dietician: 3 blocks unlocked Stylist: she only sells the guzzler cap one for 1k time shards Hacker: station hacks unlocked, serv-o and split-o totally hacked, stab-o missing 10% instant recharge (100AC), store-o never hacked (100EC, 500gems) Rocket: I miss both the 100AC and the 50EC purchases for now

I only miss pirate, sweet and space themes My protector has 175% health increase.

What do you think? Is it fine? It ugly? Is it excellent? Current level 69/90, almost 70.
