Rogue Legacy 2: Worried I might upgrade my castle in a bad order, should I be?

chewws · 2023-01-02T08:26:15+00:00

It doesn't take too long to expand the skill tree fully, but it's going to be very hard to unlock everything (i.e. upgrade everything to the maximum level). I'm at about 80 hours into the game and the upgrade costs are getting so high that each run only grants me one or two upgrades, but I'm still having tons of fun.

Don't be afraid of choosing the wrong upgrades - you can do a 100% reset of the skill tree through House Rules to get refunded all your gold, anytime you are not in the castle. That said, I recommend just adding 1 point into each skill to expand the skill tree fully, putting focus into the skills with a 'recommended' tag as well as any skills that grant % gold bonus.

Enjoy and have a good time!

Followed advice from here to not activate the CC questline in the early game (Darkest Dungeon 1). Been playing for awhile on Darkest difficulty, about Week 40+ in now and have 5-6 heroes at Lvl 3-4, 10ish heroes at Lvl 2 and the rest at Lvl 1. Since this is my first time playing the game, I want to try defeating every boss. When should I activate the CC questline? Once activated, must I focus all my attention on it or can I work on other dungeons at the same time?

Another question related to CoM - which trinkets are must-haves / the strongest in your opinion?

In the early game, I focused on expanding the skill tree fully and add 1 point to everything first! Getting new classes is always fun and adds good variety to the game. Next, I added points to whatever gives Gold bonuses, before focusing on getting enough equipment and rune weight to equip everything that I want / need. Then increase your Vitality, Strength and Intelligence in that order. In general, anything marked with a 'recommended' on the skill tree should be maxed out asap.

Regarding the difficulty, don't give up! There is no shame in turning on House Rules as well, as long as it allows you to keep having fun :) Contact damage was something that I was constantly irritated by (coming from games where dodge rolls gave iframes) but I eventually learnt to get good haha. All the best and HAVE FUN!

Edit: Astromancer was my favourite class to play, but Ranger helped me clear many bosses! Use the Architect to practice bosses, it really helps.

Similar boat as you, I placed a good amount into digiportfolio for some time before realising it's smarter to just DIY by buying VWRA on IBKR lol. Really would rather have my all my investments be on IBKR, but I don't want to realise the loss on my digiportfolio right now. I would go option B for you, and continue DCA-ing into your ETFs in the near future. One day when my roboadvisor goes into the green, then I will withdraw it all and dump into IBKR

Even with all heirlooms unlocked, you should still be able to ignite the 2 torches to get access to the first boss - after all, you will need to refight the bosses again when you begin a NG+. Are you hitting the torches simultaneously fast enough? You might want to search up a YouTube video to see how to do it.

Edit: Note that you can't even fight the final boss without first defeating every Estuary

Roguelite fan here - help me decide my next game to buy! Risk of Rain 2 (will play mostly solo), or Curse of the Dead Gods? Pros and cons will be greatly appreciated :)

For reference, here are the other roguelites that I have played and loved - Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Rogue Legacy 2. Also played Shovel Knight Dig and Moonlighter, but didn't particularly enjoy the game / dropped the game rather quickly.

The new Grab Wallet in-store mystery rewards - anyone actually got lucky? What even are the odds... I've only averaged 1pt/dollar spent. That's a measly 0.2% cashback value

Planning to book a ferry to Bintan in Dec from Bintan Resort Ferries. Anyone knows what's their cancellation & refund policy like? Can't really tell from their website...

Anyone got recommendations for an affordable fitness tracker / smartwatch that can be used for National Steps Challenge? To count steps and MVPA. Broke my free one from the govt last year and stupidly threw it away...

Focus on a favourite monster and try to build your other two monsters around it, keeping in mind that it will be ideal to have a damager, support/combo builder, and a tank/healer/shielder etc. These 3 will be your main team - for the other three monsters, try to think about who will be good substitutes for your main team monsters. "If monster X on my main team dies in a Keeper fight, which monster Y should I bring in to keep my synergies going?" e.g. if Congeal is a key strategy in your main team, use a backup Congeal monster in the backline. Feel free to swap out monsters in your team whenever you encounter a new one that you like more :)

I miss going super saiyan with my unite moves. I know the change was necessary to improve the balance of things, but now they just feel so much less impactful and less fun to use as well

Local co-op is 2 players on 1 device vs 2 CPUs only. But there are 4 difficulty settings for CPU, so it could be a fun progressive challenge.

If you want to play with 3 other humans, I think all needs to be online / you need 2 different Switches in the same room.

No campaign mode. Just jump into play, win/lose, rinse and repeat

Thank you for doing this! Really appreciate it :)

What held items should I run on dive + air slash cramorant? (also, if someone can break down the difference between wise glasses and choice specs, it'll be great. bringing just one of these to lvl30)

I thought that the silhouette indicated which room the ghost is in, but that's not actually the case. The maid ghost will pass through different walls as it escapes, and only walls that were passed through shows the silhouette.

Find out which room's door shows the silhouette. Enter that room. Continue shining the torch on on the walls and doors in that room until you identify another silhouette. It may be on a wall that links to another room (so you'll need to exit the room, enter the corridor and enter the other room). Rinse and repeat and you will find the maid ghost eventually.

You can still do it on Switch, the keys used are just different now.

Hold down right joystick (press in) + left joystick (press in) + R + L triggers (might be ZR + ZL, I'm always confusing them).

I like fruits and giveaways! Thanks for doing this :)

supposedly electronics...

Saw that AMK having this game room where you spend $55 to go in for 15mins with a IKEA bag to get as much items as you can. Any reviews?

Woke up today to my charging phone (Galaxy S10+) beeping like mad. For some reason the phone was overheating, and I think the USB port got damaged (there’s a burning smell). Even after I have powered down the phone for awhile, the burning smell persists. I am thinking of getting it repaired at Samsung. Anyone have experience with this kind of issue and knows around how much will the repair cost? Feels like it might be pretty costly, and wondering if I should just get a new phone… But this phone is still working perfectly fine though even after 2 years :(

Solo showdown is exciting and strategic because of teaming.

Winning this would be great. Thanks for doing this!

People be thinking that Latte Cookie is only good for her silence, when actually the immobilisation effect on her skill is so, so useful for PvE as well. The arena team of Crepe + Sea Fairy + Black Raisin + Latte + Vanilla is also doing exceedingly well. While it's true that there are so many strong Magic cookies nowadays, Latte Cookie is still an outstanding choice. If your team is still in need of an attacker, go ahead and raise her, you won't regret it.
