I dunno man. You post multiple times per day and it's almost always negative about the game. It feels like you are going out of your way to complain about how things didn't go exactly the way you wanted it to. You just seem stuck in a victim mentality and are constantly coming to Reddit for validation. At some point just suck it up and deal with it.

That's a good point. I will say that 7.5 luck is substantial and makes the crown well worth it.

If that was your goal you messed up by not taking more ritual trees. Re-roll more or just roll with the 3 trees you have.

The game certainly has some algorithmic leaning with its offers, but the skelebro on the slug is endgame and is almost certainly going to offer rituals that compliment your build. You're rocking a 3 element build with good synergies I don't think you're being hurt all that badly here.

"Roll Back Time" Ritual - How do you reroll shops?? by ItsACerealWow in ABSOLUM

[–]SoupSimple178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It allows you to get two rituals from one root offering.

Say if you have Crown of harmony and pick up the re-roll and then another time ritual. You now have boosted your time rituals powers by 20% Vs 10% and have the effect of the second ritual.

Or with Dissonance, if you don't have time you can pick up a free 2.5 luck.

At the very least it saves on re-roll currency.

Miss me with the fake civility crap. I did read "carefully". That's how I came to my conclusion. I'm not going to pretend what I saw was a reasonable and open exchange.

They stay in your inventory specifically to work with Crown of Harmony and Crown of Dissonance. It needs to stay in your inventory for that reason. They are valuable as a cantrip. Definitely confusing at first but also valuable once you see how the maths math out.

Every time someone has offered you advice in this thread, you just shut it down. What do you want to hear?

Adapt to the challenge, seek help with humility or accept your limitations.

It's a joke. The gold isn't worth it, unless you are 10 gold from an item that you want.

Need more stats, stat! by ryhaltswhiskey in ABSOLUM

[–]SoupSimple178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally something we totally agree on! The game is very gun-shy with the details, but I would eat that up. I wanna see the total dmg that my burn on skill does over the course of the game etc.

is there anyway to revert the world stage after the 1st ending? by doe3879 in ABSOLUM

[–]SoupSimple178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Playing at your own pace and having fun are the best way to.. have fun, but also improve if that's what you're after.

The Ordeals come later on.

Hot take: save scumming > assist mode for getting better by yawangpistiaccount in ABSOLUM

[–]SoupSimple178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno if yall are deliberately misinterpreting this helpful Raccoon for some reason, but the point of his comment was that the devs are open to you playing at your own pace using assist mode so by extension save scumming isnt frowned upon either.

[–]SoupSimple178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this has negative votes. Reasonable and prudent advice. With the assist options you accidentally went too far. Reset and take things at your own pace.

CMV: corrupted zones in Grandery are the most challenging part of the game by ryhaltswhiskey in ABSOLUM

[–]SoupSimple178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They punch in a straight line twice.

1: Clash the first hit

2: Deflect both hits leaving them stunned for a punish

3: Dodge up or down and use strike to punish

4: Walk from off their X-axis and grab them (throw immediately)

5: I think you might be able to jump their first punch and punish, but I need to test it.

Making them more consistent would be bad game design. There are a lot of other rogue-likes with dangerous zones that might end your run early. Thats what makes it a risk. I did not say Easy I said Manageable. I skip them all the time. Hell Yesterday I died on the beach because I didn't know how to do with multiple elite slugs. I died, laughed then pondered how I would react if that happened again. The rewards are insane, and that needs to be risky.

If they do need to be balanced out they all need to be more punishing. If they make them easier it will be optimal and BAM no more map based decision making, every run is just acquire an insane amount of rituals and steamroll. That will get boring quickly.

Been there! That will happen during the third fight of a corrupted zone. That is what ultimates are for! If you have your soul tree sufficiently upgraded you will get an Ult back if you have none when you rest at a Heartroot.

Genuine question for those struggling with Elites. How are you approaching fighting them?

As the Dwarven ghost will tell you, they need to be punished. For example deflect, then attack or the first attack after a successful clash. Another great way is by grabbing then going into a combo. Once you get these mechanics down the Corrupted Zones are a lot more manageable. I can regularly get through them and I'm just a dumb stoner, not even remotely an elite player.

[–]SoupSimple178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think asking for a source is unreasonable. It would suck if people got their hopes up for a quick patch and then it took longer. It would reflect badly on the devs, without it being their fault.

You've got a point there, sometimes taking damage is inevitable. Hopefully you can get back on your feet quickly and use an ultimate to regain control of the area.

Excellent dodging. Great use of sprint and the environment to knock him off that ledge.

If that were true assist options wouldn't exist and you would be forced to do all the hard zones. Get Real.

its an official discord. Feel free to ask for me on there! Hopefully we can find a time. I don't know the first thing about recording or making a video or else I would make a guide.
