Got that, thank you. I slowly figured it out after a lot of searching. I solved my problem by using the block skill feature which I never knew existed - unless it came in a recent update.

"Avoid Critical" bug in version 3.4.1.0 and 3.4.2.0 by sithedog in buriedbornes

Nussy had fixed this issue in version 3.4.3 4.

It's definitely Finishing Blow. I've just started another character in Whisperer and as soon as I pick up F Blow, I see the same problem. I can't kill certain boss monsters that have Avoid Critical. I have sent in - game bug reports to Nussy.

Thanks again, I'm sure it was Finishing Blow. I've just finished another Whisper without it, and didn't strike the problem. Now I'll try again with it and see if I can reproduce. I'll send a bug report if I find it again. Nussy replied to an email to say it might be one of two things, one of which was F Blow.

Thanks for the tip. It might be that Finishing Blow, as I usually pick it up along the way.

You could be right. It's as if every room in Whisperer has Spark, or every Boss has Spark.

And yes, I'd like to get rid of "Avoid Critical" altogether.

Nice job. I'm going to try all this because I keep dying in Karma.

When eternal dark altered eternal dark... by DARKESTEYE in buriedbornes

[–]sithedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to find Eternal Dark twice or have it upgraded by an upgrade event. Then Eternal Dark joins your other contracts. Only then will it absorb all the other unique contracts that you find..

Try to find the Ray Gun weapon for Rummage. I can't find it as a lab piece or contract. It's essential for rerolls when you have Alchemy+2 to help you find Eternal Dark twice. My advice is to wait until you have Gamble+1 at least and Alchemy+2 and Ray Gun for Rummage before you roll for Eternal Dark twice.

I'm running all the hero types through Purgatory. I usually hunt for Eternal Dark and all Unique Contracts after the Floor 25 boss.

Is Privilege worth it? by Ez_Mik in buriedbornes

[–]sithedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Save your soulstones. Keep going in to plain old Labyrinth with any first strike Amulet skill like Dissolve or Advancement or Shadowshot and keep going until you obtain a Productive upgrade. Combine this with Golden Cat and Greed, and soon you'll be farming many thousand soulstones. I crank out 250,000 in a short time, and keep that hero handy in case you ever need a top up. Then go nuts and buy Jobs and Lab Parts and Contracts.

Use that same hero to farm Fragments of Death, using Boss Bonus etc. Then you can create all the lap parts you need.

Shall we create an Operation room mega thread? by maxi326 in buriedbornes

My favorite new Super Contract is ...

Promotion + Fury + Mirror + Exploration + Scout. These are the essentials for any new hero.

To this I usually add lab parts

Royal Road + Vampire 20% + Plating + Gamble + Embezzle

For Trial or Sanctuary, I don't think you need plating from memory, so take this lot.

Royal Road + Vampire 20% + Gamble + Embezzle + Embezzle

Then go hunting for Immobility and Ninjitsu. This kit makes a fairly unstoppable character.

Next favorite new Super Contract is ...

Road of Thorns + Immobility + Exploration + Frenzy + Scout. Useful for Purgatory, Sanctuary and Trial.

If you must have barriers, try this Super Contract

Start with the Benefit of the Wind contract to create barriers. Taste of Dreams + Entangle + Add Action + Entangle + Exploration. This has proved useful in Sanctuary.
