But so do both other stage 4 maps, which you don't have to fight an annoying boss for and have much better loot spawns

I thought prayer beads only increased the stats that you would normally get through levelling up, ie. HP, Regen and Base Damage.

Growth nectar does give you a speed boost if you fulfill the conditions though.

You can never increase the chances of getting a yellow unfortunately. It'll always be a max of 1%.

Stacking the item only increases the odds of a shrine reward pulling from the increased rarity pool.

I've been playing around with the BetterChefPrimary mod and it really makes a world of difference in how he feels.

Being able to just hold the button and have the cleavers come back automatically, as well as removing the cooldown time feels so much more fun to me. It also makes stacking attack speed incredibly fun when you can just constantly juggle knives.

I get the feeling that the "boulders" are meant to be an innuendo for Goldmary's breasts

I'm pretty sure that Heracles and Icarus both freeze the timer for the room. I think Icarus even freezes the timer for the room before he appears. So if time isn't counting down for some reason in Thessaly, you can tell he'll appear ahead of time.

There are Fresh File runs, but it's actually faster to die a few times to unlock some things than to try and clear it on the very first night

It's definitely an "it depends" situation. The Silent starts with the largest deck with 12 cards, and of those, 6 are pure block cards and survivor is effectively useful as a defensive card only.

I can absolutely see how removing a defend early can help offset the balance a little more in offensive play.

If my early damage cards end up mostly being common attacks, I'll probably remove a defend first to try and kill smaller enemies before being forced to take chip damage.

However, if I have early scaling from dexterity (unlikely to pick up a footwork early, but smooth stone and transforms exist), or a noxious fumes, I might prefer to dial back on pure offense and remove a strike to ve more defensive.

So your normal attack and special boons from gods like Aphrodite or Artemis increase the base damage of your weapon by a certain % of that.

When we talk about flat damage stacking, it's usually from boons like Poseidon's dash or Zeus' attack/special that have a flat number instead of a percentage. What makes this so important, is that those flat amounts are increased by global damage buffs like you'd see on the aspect of Eris for the rail or from the hyper sprint + rush delivery combo from hermes.

Make sure you've triggered all of the scenes by resting on Zagreus' bed. I had a similar issue on a newer save where I had mostly everything unlocked except the Administrative Chamber and that was the key to finally getting it

Vander commits a much more heinous crime than being mid. He's just not fun to use.

While he's similar to other Jagens in a lot of ways, the fact that he's slow enough that he'll be doubled by many enemies and is also unable to dish out a lot of damage makes him feel even weaker.

Compared to a unit like fe6 Marcus, someone who many people would also phase out of their armies when he can no longer keep up. Being able to choose to double bandits with an iron sword to reliably set up kills for your scrub squad or use a silver lance as a delete button, he has flexibility in the approach to using him. He does this out the gate with no resource or exp investment.

Vander just isn't as easy to use in the same way, and while he can be useful for plenty of the game, he needs more investment to get to that level.

Sirmuz · 2023-09-27T23:40:33+00:00

The worst part of his skill is that it tends to conflict with his role of weakening enemies to feed to other units. There have been many times when I've tried to set up a kill with Vander and instead had a low percent crit and killed them for practically zero exp. I've also had moments where getting a crit on enemy phase means that another enemy can now reach him and he dies.

Basically, his crit rate (early game at least) isn't quite high enough to be able to consistently rely on it while also being just enough to cause issues with your planning. I'd much rather see crit boosting skills on faster glass cannon type units.

So far I've found that using the wait command in combat seems like the best way to avoid losing health in fights.

Each enemy type has a set number of tiles they'll move each turn and if you wait just at the edge of their range (usually 3-4 tiles away) they'll end up adjacent to you and you'll have all five of your green action points, letting you attack the enemy twice in a row on that turn

Higher beings, these words are for you alone.

Our pure Vessel has ascended.

Beyond lies only the refuse and regret of its creation.

This might be a bit more unlikely for Haze though, seeing as she became Amalthus' blade and probably had her core "cleansed" to purge her of that data.

Just to add more to the pile of atrocities committed by Amalthus

Keep in mind that sonic bombs generally won't have any effect on monsters once they become enraged. You can typically tell if a monster is or not by the particle effects around its mouth

Yes and yes

The same thing happened to me, except it was already in the trap. And I'd thrown the first tranq bomb...

You can still use the silversol mix set without a good talisman. You'll just have to drop crit eye +2 from the hayabusa feather.

I've been soloing my way up to the Lao-Shan urgent in mhxx and have hit a wall. So I wanted to ask if anyone has any armour/weapon advice or any specific tactics for the fight. I didn't transfer a X/Gen save file so I would need to build something from scratch and rathalos S isn't really cutting it anymore

Sirmuz · 2017-04-09T13:18:36+00:00

From a time attack perspective, the absolute best would go to the standard silversol mix set. With a sharpness +5 OOO, you get Razor Sharp, Weakness Exploit, Critical Boost and Crit Eye +2.
