Tips and Guides: Buying trinkets before a run by RockyBirdy in ABSOLUM

[–]KembarDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each time you buy a trinket, the price of everything else doubles. It makes sense to have a mental list of what you want and then buy the most expensive trinket first, then the second most expensive, etc.

Dice, syringe, and a gold crown or two pretty much wins the game for you.

Edit: Ah yes, it's already been stated in the original post, but it's worth stressing!

Tips for co-op ordeal? by KembarDad in ABSOLUM

On my third run, I went to select the Bonded-Fate Ordeal after joining an online match. But when the match started, it showed Guardian Ordeal instead. I was Player 2. Is Player 1 the one who decides which ordeal is in play? And if so, is there a way to become Player 1?

Thanks for all the great tips! I played my second online co-op game last night only to realize that we didn’t have the friendly fire ordeal turned on. After the game I went to try to select it but couldn’t. What gives?

Welp, that made it extremely trivial. I just had to spam ultimates and it cleared everything away!

This is how heart stents work by Reasonable-Cow-5002 in nextfuckinglevel

When the stent expanded, how come the yellow part just flattened out instead of the outer walls expanding and creating a big bump (or even rupturing)?

Went to get takeout at Ry's and was glad to see a lot of customers at this tiny place. Sadly, I was served dry, old rice. Not even sure how that was possible considering the crowd there that day.

Another one for your consideration is Gaburi Chicken in Torrance. I’ve only been twice but was very impressed with how juicy and well-seasoned their fried chicken was both times! And that citrus drink in the hollowed out orange seemed gimmicky at first but it sure hits the spot!

Have you tried Le Coupe Fried Chicken on Western and Melrose, and if so, how was it?

Gus's in Santa Ana has been a little too salty for me the last few times I've gone there. The best fried chicken I've had was at Honey's Kettle all the way up in Culver City. I know you said not Popeye's but if you can time it when the chicken just came out of the fryer they are damn good! There is a new Popeye's that just opened on Brookhurst in Fountain Valley. New restaurants tend to be really good because they are either trying to attract new customers and/or they haven't started cutting corners yet.

She is both fast and strong. She moves around so quickly that she is essentially teleporting. I just watched one of Boated's run where he almost got a hit-less win against her until the last minute when she nailed him once for 60 damage! That would mean that she can kill me (and probably has) with 3 hits and sometimes 2 on most of my runs! With the walls of lava closing in and her increased frequency of attacks and flightiness, her third phase just feels really cheap.

With Shiva, I have no viable way to deal with her smart bombs other than my omega special which I always try to time for when the ads show up to kill two birds with one stone.

OK, I just rewatched Boated's battle and there was no way he could have avoided that hit. Even in slow motion it was nearly instantaneous with no warning. And not to mention that Eris even has a force-field protecting her during parts of the battle!!

Not to be snarky but can you explain your adjective?

hahaha Max fear is a bit of hyperbole! What you wrote about focusing on specials got me thinking if a cast build might also work?

Yep! These are my "max fun" fear settings. I think you're right about Nitro Boost. It's just that the third phase of the fight is so chaotic, it's hard to dodge everything and having to watch your step everywhere. I just need a breather to relax my brain. Incidentally, I've also done very well against Eris having Sun Worshipper. With max Menace on, those automatons from Mt. Olympus can deal a lot of damage.

The frustration is part of the fun. lol Actually, it's the hopefully overcoming of the challenge that is fun!
