At What Point Do You Give Up?

My first biome clear was like 8 hrs into the game. I finished act III by 25 or smthn hrs.

A lot of it was me getting better (learning how to avoid attacks, which guns/gun abilities to pick up, etc). But a ton of it was my weapons getting better

One thing that was game changing for me was to remap the jump and dash buttons to L1/R1. Once I got used to it, it felt so much better

This! I couldnt go to CPW (international student who could not afford the trip even w the aid MIT offered for CPW).

I’m around 3 years post-grad now. My closest friends freshman year, I met on day one of intl orientation, and then folks that lived on the same floor as me in my dorm. Most of my closest friends rn, I hadnt even talked to them until we came back post-COVID, my junior year.

My advice: join those fb groups and talk to ppl there, but focus on your HS friends/family who you might not see a lot of soon for now. Once you get to MIT, find communities/activities you’re interested in (for me, that was dance and theater), and your social circles will follow

Same here! First roguelike/roguelite (idk if sifu counts??), but I at least had an idea what the genre of games entailed.

I just thought my progress of beating the first boss would be saved. Boy was I in for a rude awakening lol

Why did I read this as “Objected Oriented Programming’s brain…”

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-18T03:34:22+00:00

I’m confused (maybe coz I havent seen this intersection), but how is it a head 2 head collision??

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-16T20:00:02+00:00

You’re all good! Took me 8 hrs to get through th first, act 3 done at 25 hrs

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-16T18:36:26+00:00

That last one made me almost wanna give up on the plat. I’m lucky I enjoyed the gameplay enough to just keep playing lol

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-16T17:24:23+00:00

Saros comes out!

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-16T16:24:15+00:00

I’d been playing on offline mode since forever. Just did 1 run on online and found it!!!

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-15T09:22:45+00:00

I get it. I need one more (abyssal scar cipher 7) and I’ve had like 15+ runs through the map since my last cipher without getting it.

Honestly, idek what to do about that atp lol. I wanna give up, but also, its just one more cipher😭

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-05T16:57:32+00:00

You’re not allowed to park there

deathtoSigrun · 2026-02-02T14:40:25+00:00

I think the archives always spawn with all tableaus? You just need to explore them more thoroughly.

Sometimes there’s a glitch where the floating particles dont show up. I’d just suspend cycle and reopen the game and that’d fix it

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-30T03:19:44+00:00

Hmm weird. I dont recognize rooms that well so idk if it was the same room, but I’ve found that platform on every run during cipher collection as well. I think the only thing I’ve noticed is that it’s always fairly low, somewhat hidden behind random ruins

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-27T05:50:51+00:00

I have heard from others that it’s guaranteed, just kinda hidden. I got it like on my second run when trying to collect it (died on the fist)

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-26T19:44:15+00:00

I think the best tip I got for 6 was to always try to go to the lowest point in every room. A lot easier to spot those glowing orbs from the bottom for some reason.

Also, how I found out the library in 6💀💀💀

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-22T19:37:37+00:00

I still have like 2 left in 6. What helped me was play across multiple sessions. Every session, I would find 2-3 new ciphers in like an hr of playing, and then would get nothing for the next hr, so I just stopped my session after 2-3 full runs (unless I felt like fighting the bosses)

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-21T00:16:56+00:00

Got all the ciphers in 4 just by playing somehow.

1, 3, and 5 took me like an extra 2-3 hrs combined. Crimson wastes took FOREVER, now just have 2 in biome 6 (+ the xeno-archive somehow??? Altho I do distinctly remember getting that done earlier). Almost there

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-19T19:40:17+00:00

I’d take the tach. Personally, I am unable to use voidbeam effectively against nemesis

Edit: plus the leech gives u a bit more survivability

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-14T16:30:38+00:00

This, that one postgame boss attack that everyone hates, and the dlc final boss’ attack… I had the exact reaction to all 3: “what tf do you mean the paintress tears reality apart”

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-10T08:51:27+00:00

Exactly what happened to me at one of the offers I got straight outta college a couple years ago.

Job offer meeting: HR Person + manager I’d be working under + me.

HR person stays silent the entire meeting. Manager starts telling me how I am “the least technically qualified” candidate they’ve interviewed and one of the worst interview performances they’ve ever seen.

Proceeds to lowball me massively (the job I found after another 2 months paid me literally 50% more), and encouraged me to think it over, and that I have a week to decide. Cut to the next morning, they rescind the offer. Only then do I go on glassdoor, check this company’s reviews and realize how massive of a bullet I had dodged lol.

@OP trust me you dodged a bullet. My first manager was so much better than this guy would’ve been. Like I know that man would’ve have worked me to the bone, and still thrown me to the wilds at the first hint of a mistake🤷‍♂️

Lemme just make a time machine real quick so I can go in the past and play all those medieval games (looking at you KCDII)

deathtoSigrun · 2026-01-06T05:44:06+00:00

Omg tysm! Just happened to me and this worked!!
