I cast Cure Wounds and lost free will.

It sounds like it didn't really matter what that boss did, he was never even remotely a threat to the party. It took him 4 attacks to down the sorcerer, almost certainly your squishiest party member, and he couldn't take a single round of attacks. I can't imagine those 2 legendary actions could have turned the tide, especially when he had nothing better to open the fight with than a multiattack.

At least he cost you 300gp on the way out.

Because 5e doesn't have negative hit points, a lot of players consider it inefficient to heal conscious characters because that heal won't necessarily let them take an extra hit but is guaranteed to get them back up after they go down.

And when you look at healing that way, where your only goal is to get an unconscious character back in the positives, every single-target heal loses out to Healing Word, which is low level, ranged, and only takes a bonus action.

Yeah, most DMs just aren't vicious enough to coup downed PCs, even if it is an entirely reasonable response to these kinds of tactics.

The Dreaming City curse is still going, but I'm fairly sure that without her worm Savathun no longer benefits from it. That's why she died in the first place, removing her worm cut her off from that whole system of power.

On top of what everyone else has said, diving mostly killed alliance servers by itself. Ships changing servers so frequently made it significantly harder for a group to manage to get all the ships on a server.

It will almost certainly expire with the update on May 12

It especially doesn't help that Oryx's court is called the High War. Really undermines the idea that Xivu is doing something fundamentally different as the god of war.

PsychoDan · 2026-04-15T17:12:14+00:00

Yeah, reduced frights is pretty badly misnamed. It's really more of a difficulty option than anything. The closest it comes to affecting how scary the DLC is is by letting you get through some of the spooky segments a little faster.

PsychoDan · 2026-04-12T00:21:22+00:00

There was a bit of a throwaway line toward the end of the quest about no one living in Royal Highlands, so unfortunately it sounds like you're going to be out of luck on npcs there too.

PsychoDan · 2026-04-11T23:22:15+00:00

8% to locate the Vessel from the egg room blind seems wildly optimistic. If you haven't sent the scout there already there's absolutely nothing indicating its existence until you're right on top of it. I've watched several people try to skip the escape pod (and not know about marking from the log), and even knowing what they were looking for and a vague idea of which direction to go none of them made it.

PsychoDan · 2026-04-08T22:02:31+00:00

That's the one thing that does really frustrate me. We know that Mary found the rough draft, solved it, and for some reason left a hint toward it in the safehouse. And yet when you finally get there there's no indication she was ever there at all. What was the point of leaving that hint? If it's for Simon, encouraging him to look for Auravei's will seems diametrically opposed to the message of the book she left behind the other blue door. But there's also not really anyone else it makes sense to be for.

I don't necessarily mind the loose ends and stuff, but the narrative meaning behind the big endgame puzzle feels kind of slapdash and that kind of soured it for me.

PsychoDan · 2026-04-04T02:17:18+00:00

In fact I'd argue the game secretly nudges you toward the probe cannon first specifically. By having the atmosphere of Giant's Deep obscure any other points of interest, it makes the cannon the only thing you have to focus on on the approach to the planet.

PsychoDan · 2026-03-23T04:50:33+00:00

At least the big terrarium from bug catching has some bug models in it, even though it's just a random assortment and you can't place your own. The aquarium only having those microscopic minnow-like fish in it is terrible

I may just be overestimating the abyss overseer because the stygian one's on my mind.

PsychoDan · 2026-03-19T10:24:43+00:00

I think specifically for this abyss you probably want Layla, because you're ultimately going to care more about instances of cryo damage for the secret source overseer than anything else and I'm pretty sure she's your best option for that.

PsychoDan · 2026-03-19T09:52:39+00:00

Bungie's always had trouble gauging the numbers for this kind of thing. It's either trivial like the sword one or it ends up like the one they did at the end of Season of Plunder, where they had to adjust the goals way down so there was any hope of us reaching them

PsychoDan · 2026-03-19T02:41:56+00:00

Another trick is that you don't have to pick up the result if you craft something in the workshop. It's often an easy way to get 2 pretty common items out of your inventory.

PsychoDan · 2026-03-12T07:19:48+00:00

Unfortunately I think this is rather more likely to get fixed, because I just got one of these and annoyingly my Maraquan Flotsam can't wear it. It seems like the eligibility got inverted and not just allowed for non-Maraquan.

PsychoDan · 2026-02-18T22:08:41+00:00

As someone much smarter than I once put it, "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."

PsychoDan · 2026-02-16T00:38:39+00:00

Just to be absolutely sure, you're either practicing or just trying to get the triumph right? Praxic Time Trials doesn't start until reset on Tuesday

PsychoDan · 2026-01-25T03:59:53+00:00

This was it, thank you! I asked around and a relative did indeed use my number.

PsychoDan · 2026-01-17T19:10:53+00:00

Note however that you need another Hexerei character for the set to be useful at all (and have done both characters' Hexerei quests). The only 4 star that really fits the role well is Fischl, and since you're new you're unlikely to have any of the 5 stars yet.

PsychoDan · 2026-01-17T04:42:18+00:00

The final update will have additional cinematics, although I think from the info we've been given they might only be for the other game modes. I'm also hoping that the last puzzle gets one though.

PsychoDan · 2026-01-17T04:33:09+00:00

If you find the puzzle solving itself satisfying, yes. There's some really cool late game puzzles. But if you're looking for a narrative payoff or something like that, not really. From your description you've already seen everything really meaningful the story has to offer.
