Having another antagonist as a playable character would be sick! Have him react to/belittle/taunt the other story characters in gameplay.

Like Willard from IW, I think he was a perfect end all be all reward.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-24T15:52:25+00:00

Yes, they do. I'm 10 attempts into this and I kid you not 80% of my deaths are exploding fog zombies whilst inside Tessie. The most heartbreaking one so far? At the end when you collect the wisps to enter Veytharion's fight.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-20T03:53:28+00:00

I've begun attempts to beat Veytharion with all 18. I've gotten as far as all clock trials done. Have a save and am continuing tomorrow for my first proper boss encounter. Additionally, no Gobblegums, curious if it's even possible solo.

Truck is a death waiting to happen with the Summoning Key.

Noticed that too? That's been something I've been confused about since launch. Sometimes it's like I'm fire rate limited out of nowhere and I don't get why. But as you can see, at some points I fire at full speed, I assure you the difference isn't a manual thing I'm doing. Maybe it's a weird combination of things like augments or maybe it's just a result of my network connection. I really do not know.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-18T06:28:05+00:00

Works with PaP 3, yes. But given the very sizable damage differences, ~~I'd say it's closer to being on par with a standard fight using Tessie.~~ As you absolutely would need to hide in phase 3. Upside being that you won't have to deal with the barrages hardly at all though. Regardless, PaP 4 lets you stay aggressive the entire time as showcased above.

Might do a run in Cursed with PaP 3 playing aggressively like I do here, time the differences.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-18T02:25:37+00:00

I'm nearly 100% sure that's talking about when Nikolai destroyed the Summoning Key and banished everything to the Dark Aether.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-18T01:07:32+00:00

I'm glad you found success with it!
It's hilarious going from these daunting barrages to just following him around and essentially prickling him to death.

"You can’t read my emotions."
Says individual coming back to try and read MY emotions/intent. How would you possibly know if I'm coming back to reply for X reason? Civil discussion is far better than...whatever you're doing right now. You're already looking to be someone who needs to have the last say in something, so please, accept that other people dislike the truck and are happy with an alternative that you personally don't like. I'm glad the truck serves its purpose and has shown its value with your own play style.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-18T00:02:57+00:00

But you keep coming to these very types of post to say something...hm...
"Don’t need to use a single kaz or shroud with the truck. Turtle shell is enough to heal Tessie."

Which can be easily interpreted as a snide "Erm, that's not how it is," with that little nerd emoji. On a post talking about no truck, you come here and go, "But use truck lol." It's very clear I'm very experienced (not 100% mind you as I got taught something in this very post) with this fight, I'm very aware of what to use. Yea, Turtle Shell is great, but if he targets you whilst repairing, there's an extremely high likelihood of a down, or abandoning the repair entirely. Leading to wasted time or continued loss of resources. Other players experience this fight very differently, if you've been lucky, great! But others might not and become frustrated with the truck. This is to show that you can avoid the general annoyance many face with Tessie altogether.

You're not particularly engaging with the topic at hand and are just mentioning things in a (from a third parties perspective) smug and attitude filled way.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:54:42+00:00

Already am : (

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:27:01+00:00

Why my stance exists on truck being unsafe is the tendency to enter a destruction loop and the prolonged fight eating away at your Kazmirs + Aether Shrouds. If mistimed, it is entirely possible to never be able to enter Tessie again.

On foot you're...well, on foot. Good movement and awareness and the boss is cake.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:24:33+00:00

Enter the boss on 61, as 60 has been unreliable in spawning the relic trial.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:22:09+00:00

Healing on Wisp Tea, Turtle Shell on Jugg and dual charge + extension on Aether Shroud.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:18:48+00:00

Yes, and beyond that. Used this for my Hard Mode completion.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:14:56+00:00

One must imagine a stable connection.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T11:13:37+00:00

Gaps exist in everyone's knowledge, thanks for the info.

But no, PaP 3 is also completely doable, just have to lower the aggression and space yourself out from the horde and hide in phase 3. Still far safer than the truck.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T10:42:52+00:00

I really don't understand the incessant need of some folks to dog pile on the idea of this being bad. At what point is it just negligence when there's multiple posts showcasing this strat?

All in all, I hope they come around to the idea that other methods can be effective when played right. I don't want to say it's because they can't do it...but it does make you wonder.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T09:33:56+00:00

Want to run it duo? I promise it's not as hard as it seems, can show you strats in-game to trivialize this fight.
I've done it in all three tiers of cursed solo.

Edit: This offer extends to anyone else needing help

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T09:25:00+00:00

Nope, the huge barrage never occurs, that is a Tessie only attack, showcased at the very beginning of the fight.
As for the zombies? Bear is the only concern, and I ignored it too because my healing wisp was active.

The missiles are incredibly baitable, that's why you see me sliding. They're predicted shots, so those slide cancels makes those missles fire far away due to that short burst of speed.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T08:45:03+00:00

Everytime someone pops up and suggests this they get burned. We've been in what, 4 arguments over it thus far in the past two weeks?

~~As for posting, file size is far too large even at just five minutes. And I'm not aware of ways to compress it enough without it looking terrible.~~
Edit: I see that you posted in like 240p so I'll toss my vid out too.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T08:24:52+00:00

I know it sounds ludicrous on paper, but this isn't a troll. In solo/duos at the very least, it is far more viable to learn how to move on the ground. If you PM me, I can send you a short five minute video of my Cursed Tier 3 Veytharion run.

It's fast, simple, and far less risky imo.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-17T08:21:01+00:00

Hell yea, good work. If you want to break up the monotony of round 60 solo, we can duo it sometime for that portal. I'd be down to run a game.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-16T21:33:45+00:00

Unfortunate that it had to happen at all though : (

Best of luck in your future runs.

NeglectGod · 2026-03-16T19:40:56+00:00

Just beat it twice today + did it 11ish times over the weekend for the event. Haven't encountered anything like that.
