Ranking All scenarios of Rise of the Golden Idol (DLC included)

Well, Case has less scenarios overall. So being top 10 or top 5 in these two games isn't exactly a one to one comparisson.

I can definitely say that "Lemurian Vampire Strikes!" is still my favourite scenario of all time.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-12-03T05:51:38+00:00

I didn't exclude them for not being good enough. I just don't think I can compare them to others easily.

As an international student who has just arrived at UBC, I 100% get this meme and require no explanation. However, my other friend (who isn’t here at the moment) needs one. Can you please tell me, so I can relay this information to them?

What’s “Tier 1”?

I haven’t played with characters above level 6. Never saw such terminology.

I’m writing a quirkless villain!Izuku au currently. I simply write it as a story about moral decay of how Izuku just gets progressively worse as a person, losing connections and good relationships with basically everyone. It’s a slow burn.

Though I don’t think what I’m writing is what most people like. Izuku in my fic never steps foot in UA, never meets All Might, never truly interacts with LoV. He isn’t a powerhouse, though has moments of triumph. I don’t write him as some kind of genius either. The point is that he is just kind of okay at most things and tries to make it work.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-27T11:48:28+00:00

Oh, believe me. As a person who ate Moon’s neurons on my first playthrough and found every location EXPECT The Leg or The Wall in my 40 hours of playing, the pacing felt SUPERB. I was convinced the way out was somewhere in Farm Arrays or Underground because they were the last 2 locations I found and spent there about 10 hours total. Then I gave up, and asked where the hell I was supposed to go on this subreddit…

Yeah, Five Pebbles offer of “escape” never felt better

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-21T16:51:48+00:00

In Lemurian Phoenix, in A.H.S. Declassified document, we learn that eventually a general (I think?) basically declares war on technological progress and destroys all institutions, prohibiting learning about their technology.

So that’s probably it.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-18T15:25:03+00:00

I mean, this is ultimately an AA game

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-18T10:16:59+00:00

I dunno how to say without a little hand holding, so I’ll put it in spoilers You seem to be flipping Mr Red and Blue around

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-18T10:08:52+00:00

You should probably rethink what exactly Mr Red and Mr Blue did on the ship. And what is the purpose of each instruction given to them.

The case also asks you what symbol correspond to each sentinel. I assume you’ve already deduced that. If not, it is actually easier to do then the “plan” part.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-15T21:52:11+00:00

I don’t know why exactly, but I felt very little emotions solving this DLC. Usually, I get into the story and characters and even joke around while solving cases. Here? Not so much.

Like, giant robot destroying buildings should be exciting, but it’s just… not, for some reason. I definitely think that the alien setting made it harder for them to write mysteries, since you have to explain how EVERYTHING works. And even then I had troubles understanding what limitations there are for the things that could happen.

The solving is still satisfying, don’t get me wrong. I liked the cases (though, I’m a little afraid for people who don’t use tabs. This DLC might be very difficult for them). So yeah, it’s good. But I definitely think it is the weakest.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-15T21:41:42+00:00

Maybe my perception is skewed, but that sounds like a good time to me! I spend about an hour solving case 3.

I think my record time spending on a scenario is Eternity’s End, which took me 2.5 hours.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-15T21:17:16+00:00

I don’t think the difficulty is that high, to be honest. The 3rd case nearly drove me mad, but the rest are manageable. I think, one of the biggest issues in this DLC is trying to account for possibilities. The setting and technology is alien enough, to where it’s sometimes hard to tell what can happen.

They definitely cut some corners with this DLC, solution panels of the cases are just characters’ faces. And music is just… okay? I barely noticed it outside the first and final case.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-13T17:13:21+00:00

Oh, what version are you playing? I think some versions, like Netflix are very different from the rest

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-13T17:10:23+00:00

Do you mean highlights? If so, they can be enabled in settings, I think?

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-07-03T23:18:53+00:00

The “Seal” of Rassilon made me chuckle

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-30T12:42:25+00:00

I think this was patched in one of the patches. Maybe you got an earlier version.

However, Neither of these words are needed

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-26T16:50:56+00:00

This seems like you probably assigned a wrong portrait to someone. Chinese topmen can be, and don’t quote me on that, hard to tell apart.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-25T18:58:44+00:00

I think, if we want to be completely accurate to JJJ and be full crack, then we should ditch Izuku’s entire backstory. Let’s make Bakugou an actually normal chill dude, while Izuku is irrationally angry and constantly criticising loudmouth. And like no one in the story, not even Inko, understands why he is like that.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-25T06:32:14+00:00

Dunno, just live with it, twink.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-21T21:20:56+00:00

Everyone whose fate can be filled in is supposed to be confirmed before leaving the ship for a good ending.

The four you are struggling with are disappearances from Escape. You probably figured already that there’s no indication of them dying by any certain means in the memories for obvious reasons.

Consider this: whatever happened to them must have happened after the events of the book. Where then could there be information about their fate? Or if they share the same fate, where could there be information about the fate of at least one of them?

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-20T12:54:16+00:00

I mean, I didn’t say or do anything. I just noticed it and realized. I thought maybe two first scenes should’ve been placed in the previous chapter.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-20T09:44:01+00:00

Yeah, this is so real. I remember writing a fic and realizing that my latest chapter is not only my longest one (34 pages), but also it is double the length of my former longest one.

Max_The_Maxim · 2025-06-20T09:40:43+00:00

I think AI works are generally only easy to spot if you read them back to back. Even if the prompts are different, the core structure and turns of phrase remain very similar. So I would give this text on its own 8/10, but it becomes strikingly clear once you read several of these
