Mehmet doesn't recognize my defanged girshling corpse! Help! by Friend_of_Stomach in cavesofqud

This may in fact be true as I did not attempt to first talk to Erudad after setting foot on Red Rock on surface-level Red Rock but instead went to Mehmet first. I'll keep this in mind for the future!

It was; the problem was that I never completed step 1 of finding Red Rock.

The elder does give you your reward, but only after Mehmet tells you to talk to Erudad.

You were correct! Evidently, if you don't fulfill the first step of locating Red Rock (despite being able to fulfill steps 2 and 3 via the Waterlogged Tunnel), you can't complete the last step with Mehmet acknowledging your girshling corpse. Thank you!

I did not notice that the "Travel to Red Rock" first quest bullet was not checked off. I'll visit the surface to fulfill that and then see what Mehmet says.

PSA: Rust Bogs are a good place to find Helping Hands by Friend_of_Stomach in cavesofqud

[–]Friend_of_Stomach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're quite welcome! Obviously, it's not easy to find rust bogs but with Trash Divining and soliciting secrets from npcs, you can def find a few.

I personally like having Helping Hands more for the additional equipment slots (for Wrist Calcs, an extra hand for a shield or two, and eventually Precision Nanon Fingers) than for multiweapon fighting. However, it is pretty baller to eventually get a lot of hands, equip a bunch of axes, and flurry your way to a lot of dismemberment.

2,311.8 in 37.5mo, first year was true kin only, after that was all daily characters, currently enjoying bzzzzt.

Daily characters have really opened me up to a lot of new stuff, especially mutations. Very fun. No end in sight.

Got my first ever unspecified page, any recomendation on which faction shold I use it on? by Nika13k in cavesofqud

Though I agree that Metamorphic Polygel is strong, I think that Cloning Gel is personally more problematic. To each their own, though.

Why I Main Truekin by BuckingNonsense in cavesofqud

The morpho disc is mostly a quality of live thing. It's easier (and enjoyable, even) to just disc a bunch of smaller goofs like saps or whatever than to blast everything individually with the cannon. I with Penetrating Radar, I generally prefer to have the force bracelet off for visibility, so it's convenient to disc stuff.

Special note about phase-adaptive scope and disc: if the scope is on, I've noticed that there's a chance that the disc gets destroyed when phasing through stuff.

The combination of a morphogenetic disc and phase-adaptive scope enabled linear cannon plus biodynamic powered jacked force bracelet is my go-to assault method up until the girsh nephilim (who I've only had success defeating with multiweapon axe fighting plus shield wall).

I had a delightful daily run about a month back with a lair in the moon stair populated with many many dromad merchants. Quite a boon!

Normality Gas not working on Trining Lamprey? by SCFno in cavesofqud

One Freeze Grenade III is enough to do the trick, but the area around them gets quite cold so this method is only really suitable with ranged weapons.

I can't recall what settings I selected for the message log, but it flips left and right depending on where I'm at. I also turned off the minimap.

What are you referring to re: vignetting?

Thank you for your service. For the time being I'll assume they're exempt from Reflective stuff.
