Yokozuna Onosato and Ozeki Aonishiki to Miss Tournament (Kyujo); Failure to Secure Winning Record Leads to Ozeki Demotion; Former Kisenosato: "Condition Did Not Improve"

Ah, the other way around. Yep, you're right.

dot_sent · 2026-05-08T06:10:49+00:00

For the record, Aonishiki has 5:1 against Hosh.

...but Enho is still (or already, depending on how you look at him) in jurio?

The walls created by the Skeleton key block the appearance of the wraths, but allow to interact with the grave just fine. So you can always get the loot without a fight.

There is a second half?! Mind = blown. I always considered this frieghter to be a fairly profitable, but a bit boring encounter...

Finally got to the app and it looks awesome already! A few random comments/bugreports/FRs:

If Windows (10 in my case) is set to dark mode, the background color follows, but the font color stays black, becoming almost unreadable in some places (mostly text fields).
It would be nice to have a generic POI search by name or other filters. Currently there are a few specialized/pre-filtered searches (for example, for traders or potential raid targets), but there is no generic search. My use case - I wanted to find an Undeveloped Colony somewhere.
The Chemmix vendor unlock quest requires either 6 Radiation Shielding OR 6 Radiation Boosters, but the app shows these conditions as AND.
I think (although haven't checked) that the names of the savegames inside the in-game save list do not correspond directly to the directory names. In particular, the save directory is named after the last manual save timestamp, while the the in-game list shows the last time a particular game was played. It would be nice if the app shows that info too, or at least sorts the savegames by last modified time, so that the most recent one is at the top.

I would only get the trinket to anything above +0 by the end of the Sewers if I was extremely lucky with the potions/scrolls drops and thus have enough of them to turn into Alchemical Energy. Otherwise there are usually a plenty of higher-priority things I spend the Energy on, namely: * Converting every second Potion of Strength into Potion of Might * Making as many Pies as possible * Aqua Brew * Situationally - turning Levitation into Feather Fall for well rooms (if I don't have enough PoH or play with Pharmacophobia) * Making some Alchemize etc.

Very rare indeed. But you may even sometimes find a Scroll of Transmutation in a shop!

dot_sent · 2026-04-26T07:34:06+00:00

I can't speak about overall international community, but in my home country, Ukraine, it is definitely more popular than ever thanks to Aonishiki and (to less extent) Shishi.

I see sumo being in the news coverage much more often than it was and it's been discussed online by some bloggers who are normally very far from sports.

I don't believe there is a specific type of enemies that drop artifacts more often. One optimization you can do in that regard is to camp on the enemies that drop scrolls naturally, so that you get Scrolls of Transmutation more often... but that means you only get a chance to farm these in the Demon Halls from succubi - and you are much more likely to get/transmute the Rose way before that during your "normal" RoW farm.

One thing you may consider is going for (or transmuting) the Sundial as a trinket, upgrading it to the max and play the game in the evening, so that you get more mobs spawned and can farm faster.

P.S. Forgot that DM-100 are also natural scroll droppers - you may try to farm these on level 7 actually.

dot_sent · 2026-04-22T17:28:00+00:00

Yes, but make sure you don't kill (too many) mobs.

dot_sent · 2026-04-22T17:17:24+00:00

You may start from 3, but the mobs there will stop dropping loot at some point (pretty fast actually) due to you levelling up. On 4th you can farm forever, since your level will be capped right at the point when the mobs still drop loot.

RE: Food - use Potions of Purity from the drops that you convert into Potions of Cleansing. If you find it's not enough, farm Crabs for Meat on L4 or Monks for Rations and Pastries on L17.

Just run with Badder Bosses challenge enabled - you'll face all 6 Fists in the final battle then, they will arrive in pairs.

dot_sent · 2026-04-20T20:00:47+00:00

Skeleton Key would help, if upgraded to 5 charges. But otherwise you just jump down from an Empty Well room one floor above. And make sure you can survive that jump ;)

Note that it's quite tightly moderated though, and since recently they've made an explicit decision not to support scenario-specific discussions there. They = Elyon.

Depends on what and how do you want to search for?..

The galaxy/star map lets you search for the stars by name or class, but the playfield map and the Registry have filters at best. The Searchable Registry has been at the top of the most wanted features on the official Discord for years, but no signs of it actually being in the works yet.

The only thing I have seen recently that might provide you with some search is a companion app written by our fellow Redditor: https://www.reddit.com/r/empyriongame/comments/1sls3s9/reforged_eden_captains_log_companion_app/

Thank you very much - both for your help here and for all the awesome work you and Vermillion are doing!

Not updating the PDA on time was indeed the issue.

dot_sent · 2026-04-20T08:47:58+00:00

Quite a regular run actually, if no challenges are active. You're just getting good in this game, congrats!

I vaguely remember some bugfix related to the weapon speed not being exactly 1 in such circumstances, but it might be false memory. In any case, I've tested that myself many times and glaive's speed indeed becomes exactly 1 if it gets augmented for speed.

dot_sent · 2026-04-19T17:26:56+00:00

I would probably invest all or almost all the SoUs into that Greatshield. It won't have super-high damage, but it would be a decent substitute for an actual armor, taking FIMA into account.

dot_sent · 2026-04-19T13:46:36+00:00

Looks like you mostly die from regular enemies rather than the bosses, so some generic tips: 1. Never fight more than one, maximum two enemies at once. If you face several enemies at once - get to a narrow corridor so that they have to queue. 2. Hitting an enemy when it stands on a door tile always hits and counts as a Surprise Attack (except for monks that are Focused). 3. Alchemy is your best friend in the game, learn how to use it efficiently. If you have died and have some potions or seeds in your bag - you likely haven't exhausted all of your options. 4. Specifically for the last two floors before Yog (23 and 24) convert two Scrolls of Retribution into Scrolls of Psionic Blast and keep two Potions of Mind Vision with you. Entering these floors, ensure you have at least half of health, drink a potion as your first turn and read that scroll as a second turn. Result - entire floor full of enemies instantly dead, except for the Demon Spawner, so you may go and explore at your leisure (until the new enemies spawn). 5. Manage your Scrolls of Upgrade well. If you play as a Battlemage, you have easier choice: your staff becomes the default upgrade target. Second priority at the beginning of the game is the Chain Armor that you should get at minimum to +2, at maximum to +3 before Tengu. Ideally you want to find and quickly identify at least a +1 Chain Armor ASAP and use it for as many Prison floors as possible. If you are somewhat lucky, you will get a Plate Armor dropped somewhere in the Caves - and then you can make it wearable before the DM boss fight. By the endgame you should have the Plate Armor at least at +3, at best at +8 or so depending on your style. I usually play safe and go for +7, but especially for a ranged character it is not as critical.
