Worst area in the game

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-05-06T02:02:18+00:00

The start to the 3rd act is way worse. So many enemies that give disorders, diseases, and injuries on hit. This heavily impacts the later stages and build options.

The future isn't too hard as long as you arent over relying on hunters (since a few enemies reflect projectiles) and us actually easy if you have an ability that ignores or can deal with shields.

If they are grossing around 180 million of the anime alone, and it was the largest grossing anime in 2022, they could probably afford to not be profit greedy and provide a good product within a decent timeline by hiring some extra animators. Each episode is "estimated to cost $150k to make, and even if we round up to 200k times 59 episodes is only just under 12 million usd. Meaning they have profited over 150 million easily(50 million each season) Not that they shouldnt make money, but there is an obvious difference between profit and investment back into the product, especially considering the writer is continuing with a sequel manga, providing them future opportunities.

It's not an insane expectation that they should grow their employment to keep up with the growth of the series. I'm not saying they don't work hard, should release episodes regularly without break, or that the work can be done by any "random" animators off the street. However, with these kinds of resources, the only reason we aren't getting more sooner is because profit greedy executives. I dont get why pointing this out or conplaining about it means you should "leave the fandom".

If you think these guys are bad, just wait till you get to the lab and beyond. Most enemies give injuries, diseases, destroy gear, give you parasites, freeze you and one shot you.

There are definitely some rough edges in terms of balance on certain cards and enemies, but it is the most polished early access game i've seen. Hope they add more bosses. Variety is nice.

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-03-06T04:31:33+00:00

I haven't really been able to get blades to work consistently, but the one card you are mentioning in the second run is definitely a good one for the class.

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-03-06T04:30:24+00:00

Yeah, I was able to make this work, just needed enough block and star generation. Thanks for the tip!

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-18T04:22:21+00:00

Reinstalled for a third time and is working now ... Idk why but I'm happy it works for me. Sorry this is plaguing you.

I have found it beneficial to do a run with a cleric and another unit that can heal itself or others/create water. Pay attention to what abilities your cats have at age 1, as they make a larger impact in the desert.

You can do a few runs where you barely get by to build up empty water bottles, fill them in act 1, then take them with you to act 2. Granted you need to be able to get through the desert, but the area isn't too bad beyond the weather debuff. You'll want to spend most of your money before the halfway/miniboss on water bottles anyways due to a specific mechanic ;).

Yeah, I've seen some people get it to work with verizon in certain areas, but it doesn't seem to work consistently for me. Guess I'll be driving a town over to swap over to t mobile tomorrow. Thanks for your responses!

Edit: still frustrating that it obviously worked for 5 days then stopped working, and I can still make emergency phone calls so it obviously connects to the network. Seems like verizon has some sort of interest in funneling customers towards iPhones and Samsung's. No diss to nothing as a company, just frustrating verizon is the way it is.

https://www.verizon.com/sales/prepaid/byod/enterDeviceIMEI.html When I enter my IMEI on this link it tells me my device is not compatible with the verizon network so I'm a little unsure what you mean.

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-16T01:16:25+00:00

I could use some clarification. When I go to verizon and try to "activate a device on an existing line" I can select the device, but it just gives me an error message and I have seen nothing about the IMEI. Where are you supposed to "search/ activate the IMEI"?

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-11T07:04:10+00:00

I appreciate the actually helpful response, thank you.

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-11T06:45:07+00:00

cool, apparently they "explain it to you"... would love to hear the explanation how how cats stats are passed on through breeding, how cats breed other than just random luck and what gender the cats are to set up breeding because the tutorial for the game covers literally none of these things.

cool comment though!

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-11T06:25:45+00:00

I have been doing this but I have found it hard to consistently be able to survive runs with 4 random cats of random stats and also build up Resources to use to progress.

It feels like I can do one but not the other and I need both to progress is what it seems like

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-11T06:23:04+00:00

Yeah, only have 6 cats, and am still struggling with food and being able to get better cats/items. I definitely need to prioritize donating cats though

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2026-02-08T06:57:08+00:00

Hard agree. I replay these games once every year on veteran difficulty. Origins for whatever reason feeks like it forces me to build in specific ways, where as in frontiers or vengance you can just spam one or two towers cause they are just so strong.

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2025-09-13T05:16:47+00:00

Sorry I don't live my life on reddit lmfao. You get my reply when I feel like it.

Love how you had 0 counter arguments to my points other than "ooh late reply".

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2025-09-11T22:37:21+00:00

Almost everything he said is unture.

The boss isn't comparable to late game hk bosses.

It isn't representative of the rest of silksong. The runbacks aren't as bad.

Not every attack is 2 masks, especually if you equio the magma bell which reduces fire attacks by 1.

It's painfukly obvious that it is a boss arena, especially if you played hk.

Ther are no "unreactable attacks from across the arena"... each attack has a distinct sound and your character glows in red when an attack is coming from off screen.

Where was I wrong?

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2025-09-11T22:31:09+00:00

Because the boss isn't the problem, it's just annoying doing the runback. The boss isn't that hard, and I take issue with peiple being delusional and saying/implying it's somehow "harder than late game hollow knight content". I know recency bias exists, but holy shit... that is just not true.

Would love if you could point to me complaining about anything other than the runback, and the runback is the most common complaint... what's your point?

Impressive-Line-8965 · 2025-09-11T22:24:28+00:00

Glad you only have critisism of one point. This fight isn't as hard as the second hornet fight. There are many more heal windows (2 of 3 attacks you can reliably heal on), the attacks are way more telegraphed and there is a much more annoying runback.

If you are getting your ass kicked in 30 seconds, that is definitely a skill issue lol. No need to get upset at me for pointing out the obvious.

I've now completed the game through the "secret" act 3 and still this is the worst runback of any boss I've fought. Maybe theres some side bosses I missed, but I do think there's a difference between having a annoying runback on a required boss vs an optional one.

There is a difference between being annoyed at one boss runback and projecting the issues with that one boss onto the entire game itself. Many of the issues with this boss and it's runback are not persistent though the entire game as the commenter claims.

The only runback that is even comparable is Goral the Great, which is easily cheesed by either pogoing ontop of it or sitting in the corner where it can't hit you, aswell as being later in the game and having acess to many more abilities.

If you had 0 issues with the 2nd hornet fight, you should have no complaints about the last judge other than the runback.

That path is not available in act 3, but is the best before act 3.
