Figured since the sequel is coming out soon and several of us are playing through, worth starting a thread
#Remnant/Remnant 2

@winged sail @rustic sapphire @stone patio @wise scroll @grand lintel @unique gull
ah damn
beat me too it
wise scroll
i wont be playing remnant 2 any time soon. no money
wise scroll
but im happy to serve as small wiki for remnant 1 for y all
hidden socket
I haven't played many Souls-likes, but this game really doesn't feel like one
unique gull
i have received plin plon but like idunno that ill be playing the second one :v currently enjoying the first one sure but unsure that ill be able to really justifying spending a lot of money on a sequel before ive even finished the first one :v i remember first one base price was pretty high on release so 😅
winged sail
Launch price for 2 is $45 I think? Don't plan on having the first beat by then either. Or just not playing it close launch anyway
unique gull
i mean i also remember the first one having a rough patch on first release right xD ? so might be good to wait with the second one for a bit
hidden socket
Woops
Should have specified
this is just a channel for both games, rather then a channel for both
i don't plan on getting second either, but if people did, heres the place
unique gull
this is just a channel for both games, rather then a channel for both
this sentence makes no sense....
winged sail
Weegy just lkikes making threads
unique gull
why :v its only 5 pm 😛
hidden socket
Its for both games, not necessarily everyone playing both
unique gull
ah gotcha
hidden socket
i didn't realize the second one was coming out so soon
unique gull
Weegy just lkikes making threads
hey its better than him making threats :v
winged sail
Fair nuff
rustic sapphire
this sentence makes no sense....
Yes it does.
gleaming gale
alas, two more weeks
gleaming gale
I actually kinda wanted to do a full coop replay of remnant 1 in preparation but I couldn't find a partner :(
my friends from last time were all like "meehhh didn't we play this game already" >:(
gleaming gale
Start new char, clear campaign to end of DLC. In and out, 20 minute adventure
rustic sapphire
no. nope. nooooppppeeee.
you say that EVERY TIME
Ill do campaign with old characters
but not new
crude oracle
in with the old out with the new!
unique gull
@winged sail @hidden socket 👀 when play we can ?
winged sail
Currently cleaning room. Getting rid of some old stuff and boxing up old electronics I don't use often but don't wanna get rid of.
unique gull
Fair :v well just plin plon whenever 🙂 I’m not doing anything so
crude oracle
gotta type in here again so this channel stays visible for me
rustic sapphire
Good idea
unique gull
bleep bloop
crude oracle
gonna probably be hearing everyone just screaming "what is that!?" when we start playing 2
rustic sapphire
Hah you wish.
I know all the remnant things.
cut to me screaming “what in the ever loving Root is THAT!
crude oracle
i mean alot of those things i was seeing looked like there own unique thing
rustic sapphire
Probably, but I remind you I’ve read and played enough things that I basically know what’s going on most of the time….. oh crap I never beat the DLCs for remnant
There wasn’t anything terribly important in those right?
Right???
If there was cliff notes please?
rustic sapphire
Well…. Okay then
crude oracle
i didnt do it either
rustic sapphire
I know the vague idea of all the worlds because I read literally every piece of lore in the base game. Hopefully nothing works shattering.
crude oracle
i only remember what i saw with all the trailer stuff and imagry
rustic sapphire
Fair
crude oracle
but what i see from when i frequently look at the images on steam remnant 2 might have some horrors
rustic sapphire
Sweeeeet
crude oracle
you know what im just going to watch all the ign trailers then!
gleaming gale
the DLC for remnant added the "true ending" I'm pretty sure it's required watching
crude oracle
that depends cause we now know that the lighthouse boss fight was just halting temporarily the root
i blame the tree people
gleaming gale
the DLC also adds some background on harsgaard and how the root got in
crude oracle
the place in remnant seem to be getting wilder and wilder as i look at the trailers
gleaming gale
I don't "look at trailers". looking at trailers leads to expectations. expectations lead to anger. anger leads to etc
crude oracle
i look at trailers cause i then fully know what im getting into
most of the time what i see is usually what i get
gleaming gale
if it's a game I'm really looking forward to I ask people I know have the same tastes as me for a thumbs up or a thumbs down, that's my decision matrix
crude oracle
i usually prefer to look at it myself and decide
rustic sapphire
well, remnant "releases" tomorow.
so who else threw 70 dollars at it.
or am I alone in my poor impulse control and lack of patience.
Ill take the silence as yes to both accounts of being alone.
hidden socket
i lbew it on starfield
rustic sapphire
fair
crude oracle
ive watched both review things yesterday on it from gamespot and IGN
so far so good
rustic sapphire
V gud
rustic sapphire
preorder
arguably, yes. but technically this was preordering by one day, which I think we can all agree is acceptable
gleaming gale
... debatable
winged sail
Nah still a pre-order. Preorder is bad because it says yourr willing to buy on faith alone without any game to show for it. It's one of the reasons why companies are so confident to push out half baked turds of games nowadays. ignore cities skylines 2 in my library
rustic sapphire
...... hypocrite
winged sail
You can build parking lots okay?!
rustic sapphire
OH. ITS THE PARKING LOTS IS IT?!
winged sail
And the broke young people
crude oracle
eh preorder is for me fine cause then i pay during a time i can pay where as for all i know when release day comes i could for whatever reason not be able to pay
also its a bonus if (which never really happens anymore with PC games which is a shame) pay in installments over a period of time
hidden socket
Nah still a pre-order. Preorder is bad because it says yourr willing to buy on f...
ha
Preorders day before are absolutely fine IMO
/like a week before
when reviews start coming out
ignore me preordering starfield 2 months earlier
crude oracle
also kinda depends on whether said devs have been giving out plenty of information on said game with videos on youtube etc
i think the only time i really regretted preordering a game was cyberpunk
i went against my better instinct and fell to the hype for once
rustic sapphire
Finally playing ||the root.... the root has changed...... oh no..... ITS EVOOOLLLVVVIIINNNGGGGGG. also chineese woman with psychic powers. good fun.||
||wonder whats happened in our time away, and WHERE IS MY CHARACTER?! he was a supreme badass! where is he?! if someone tells me he died I SWEAR I WILL RAISE HELLFIRE||
||also the ward is like a fairy tale now or something. it will be good to be home.||
rustic sapphire
okay then.....
all I can ask is wheres all my maxed out gear.
I had a giant vault full of the stuff
where it gone
rustic sapphire
you will know what i mean when you get to it
...... ||this aint the old ward..... this is where I saved those twins..... but this aint the ward. THIS AINT THE WARD AT ALL!!!! also people are aging slower, probably something to due with connections to the dreamers or somethin.||
||clemintine is 132 YEARS OLD?! DEAR GOD! these people bloody ancient. now WHERE THE HELL IS MY LAD.||
||or I guess this is technically ward 13, just the outside of it.... huh.||
||well now, the FUN BEGINS||
oh it is GOOD to be back
sure Im down all my godslaying gear but ya know what? dont matter cause I still got all my skill!
rustic sapphire
....... thanks remnant map RNG
stone patio
so how is darksoulguns
crude oracle
i have no idea yet other then it looks good cause my game is only just about to finish preloading iit
crude oracle
@rustic sapphire is survivor just normal mode?
rustic sapphire
<@202944248801263616> is survivor just normal mode?
survivor? what?
if you mean the difficulties, Id say play on the second one.
crude oracle
its the very first one
crude oracle
im here for normal mode but i was hard to tell at first
rustic sapphire
thats arguably kinda easy mode
crude oracle
im still in tutorial
crude oracle
i think i just ate some of the tree people to heal
probably wont be doing any joining or having others join off me stuff today
i blame the tree people
also those basic first enemy looks alot like the proto alien from those later alien movies
crude oracle
oh im aware lots of trees
im annoyed cause im either gunslinger for that lots of ammo guy or challenger so i survive
crude oracle
oh my god im in the place that i saw as one of the 2 realms that were my favourite
rustic sapphire
yey
Im doggo man, and well, you can pet the dog, at any time.
this makes me innordinately happy.
also I think Ill probably be going melee mid ranged, melee feels actually useful for once.
then again I might just be used to max difficulty enemies in rem 1 where I needed to hit them with a giant penta shot crossbow to do any amount of real damage.
crude oracle
also im probably in a different realm to you for the first teleport but i had found a thing
that and im gunslinger because i get ammo at least
winged sail
Si game has been good I assume?
rustic sapphire
Si game has been good I assume?
Ya
crude oracle
yep
rustic sapphire
also im probably in a different realm to you for the first teleport but i had fo...
Huuuh. Strange. Funky.
winged sail
Map variety improved a bunch?
crude oracle
definitely didnt have a WHAT IS THAT moment
rustic sapphire
Map variety improved a bunch?
Can’t tell right now. Haven’t reset too much.
Trying to get one playthrough done.
crude oracle
i have no idea mainly cause ive only been to one realm and havent gotten far enough to access adventure mode
rustic sapphire
Ya
winged sail
Fair
crude oracle
gotta kill the final boss of a realm to unlock it for each place
winged sail
I remember noticing it hard with the rougelike mode
rustic sapphire
....... thanks remnant map RNG
I mean if you must know if it’s still moronically stupid sometimes.
Yes.
crude oracle
that and i think me and gurm are in different places to start off
rustic sapphire
that and i think me and gurm are in different places to start off
I believe so. I’m fighting fae.
You?
crude oracle
robots
crude oracle
I mean if you must know if it’s still moronically stupid sometimes.
i saw a chest on my mini map and i still have no idea how the fek to get to it
rustic sapphire
i saw a chest on my mini map and i still have no idea how the fek to get to it
Same.
rustic sapphire
It’s very Industrial Revolution but with fairies where I am.
It weird
But cool
I like
crude oracle
you seen the mounted ones yet?
rustic sapphire
Nooo????
Haven’t explored much. Been farming. Which doesn’t get you talent points anymore, only specialization improvements
crude oracle
also seeing as your dog class i always wondered if dog "physically" evolves
cause that would of been a nice touch
if you know what i mean
rustic sapphire
also seeing as your dog class i always wondered if dog "physically" evolves
Nooooo. But he has 3 modes. Defensive, which makes him a tank. Support which makes him a healbot, and offensive which gets him killed.
crude oracle
i just kill everyone who isnt a big boy in a room
rustic sapphire
Fair
crude oracle
except for that WHAT IS THAT moment
rustic sapphire
I’ve had a few “oh so this is now happening” moments
crude oracle
also i dont know how the bordering is on your maps but in mine for a big area you just sniff that gas and start puking here
crude oracle
it literally just mist on the edge and i just get sick
rustic sapphire
I’m in a mix of a castle, and Industrial Revolution city.
It’s weird, but good weird.
crude oracle
very much think Scorn but mechanical stuff
crude oracle
i think it might all be random but i have no idea
crude oracle
like the next place will be different again
crude oracle
kinda like how you will probably be seeing mostly slums while in elf land apparently till you reroll it or adventure mode
rustic sapphire
all the base classes can be bought from the NPCs down in ward 13
its the weird items that cost like 1500 scrap
and that seemingly serve no purpose
thats what they do
crude oracle
well now when im done in my current dungeon im checking for that
i think im about to have a train ride
rustic sapphire
rad. I found the weapon shop. well I mean he was pointed out originally but I forgot where he was, I have found him again. he has sold me a great sword and an LMG
now I wish I had iron again
cause I kinda spent it on guns I didn't like or care about..... and now I don't have any
oops
seriously I really just need to unlock adventure mode.
alright so basically, I need to stop faffing around and beat the world boss
gad damnit
but once I do, the power spike.... it will be GLORIOUS
GLOOOORRRIIIOOOUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS
rustic sapphire
I got an honest to god tanking setup just through the early items I found.
heal 10% of hp when hit, heal 10% of hp when using an ability, increase damage dealt and reduce damage taken when hit, just through random junk I found.
they really upped the antie on these passive items.
rustic sapphire
okay if these devs have anything down, its set pieces.
these set pieces are so glorious and cool.
they have a lot of other cool stuff too, but in rem 1 and now in rem 2, these set pieces, hooh.
nicely done
rustic sapphire
they turned the stealth ability, into a ring.
slightly less pwoerful than it once was, 25% down from 30%, but its a ring now.
no need to have it always on, always invested in.
grand lintel
tchanka?
rustic sapphire
yes.
I have chaingun.
I have heavy armor
also the moral of a short story I found in this game.
its is a good moral
fae stories always have good morals
rustic sapphire
unlocked adventure mode, the real grind begins
LIMITLESS POWER WILL BE MIIINNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
also they removed armor upgrading which makes me a bit sad, but does ease the burden on materials
ill letcha know once I start recognizing tiles
adventures still spawn trait books
oohhhh laaaa laaaaaaaaa
rustic sapphire
yeah that was fun
shame the rewards were kinda junk
eating people thing ||did you find the hidden room beyond the fireplace? there was a ring in there||
rustic sapphire
you can go back there ya know
rustic sapphire
I ate an ally. Twas funny
they were tasty.
shrewd berry
Ye. Another time if I stumble on them
rustic sapphire
alright adventure mode thingy, EVENTS EXIST!
EVENTS! EXIST! its no longer just the same run to boss kill boss.
shrewd berry
I sprinkled some Cajun on them and ate them like corn on the cob
rustic sapphire
EVENTS EXIIIISSSTTTTT!
the set pieces aren't just decoration anymore!!!!
event spoiler fae town ||saved a guy from being burned alive, gave me a sweet ring, buuuut has anti synergy for my build currently, also got a trait from doing the event.||
rustic sapphire
I sprinkled some Cajun on them and ate them like corn on the cob
wish I thought of that, I just burned em with a tornado of fire first.
we don't have to reset campaigns anymore to get every world event
this is glorious
am v happy
rustic sapphire
...... alright guess that didn't spawn in my world
rip
well right now Im just grinding the hell out of adventure mode
trying to max out everything I currently have, and I dont think that will be too fun to MP with, unless you too wish to do that
rustic sapphire
aight
well Ill keep going, and if I havent fried my brain by the time you get home, we'll play.
rustic sapphire
okay call me a bit silly, but I find this to be really ironic, that fae, have cold, unworked iron, just, LYING AROUND. in great quantities!
I ask: how.
like I get, having a few little bits here and there to slaughter your arch nemisis via a proxy war, thats understandable
but these quantities?!
how is anyone here even alive!
rustic sapphire
I GOT THE BOOOOWWWWW
crude oracle
all i got so far is time powers to attach to my gun
rustic sapphire
!!which king is correct to kill?||
first off you have failed to spoiler, second off, ||black king gives awful melee weapon, gold king gives potentially good ranged weapon||
||so neither is correct. you can do either, hell I think im off to kill yellow boi right now.||
crude oracle
||which one is the false king?||
rustic sapphire
||which one is the false king?||
||THEY are the false king. both.||
||the true king is currently taking a nap.||
rustic sapphire
yup
so go ham
kill whoever
there is no moral choice. only whatever weapon you want
crude oracle
im still in machine land
rustic sapphire
bow meh. I prefer LMG
rustic sapphire
im still in machine land
Im doing fae adventures
and these adventures are a lot longer than they used to be
less splitting paths and backtracking, but still much longer
shrewd berry
I'll be home relatively soon
Then we can drink the milk and honeydew drops in the face lands
As we rip and tear
shrewd berry
@rustic sapphire Ay
rustic sapphire
oh!
shrewd berry
I see you crouching
shrewd berry
Sure
rustic sapphire
probably
but me and empress got a spear that lets us yeet it
also from what it sounds like you can random into ANY biome
which is super cool
but as I was mildly complaining about to empress, adventures now take, actual hours.
instead of idk.... 30 minutes?
now I was doing like every side dungeon, but the side dungeons are where the real loot is, sooooo..... I mean yeah, adventures take a while now
shrewd berry
It's fae trickery
crude oracle
Love death and robots?
dont think so
crude oracle
dear god machine place is going to take forever to fine comb
rustic sapphire
dont think so
its netflix, its 3d, its a robot, I think its LDR
Im off to robot land. apparently theres a lifesteal thingy around there.
I want it
oh my god this place is literally scorn but robots
crude oracle
its netflix, its 3d, its a robot, I think its LDR
rustic sapphire
fair enough
crude oracle
i seriously have no idea what its from but its defintely not love death and robots
also what the hell while i was looking here i was hearing a machine zombie just walk into the room where i was sitting at a crystal and walk away
crude oracle
i finally got some machine world armor and its crap cause its extreme light armor
shrewd berry
AAAAAADVENTURE TIME
crude oracle
im still combing the machine desert
crude oracle
no i mean thats where im currently at i stopped to sleep soon
crude oracle
im not like the elves who fear the anger ghost
shrewd berry
crude oracle
but yeh its a big more open the overworld and its damn misty
crude oracle
dont know about you and gurms adventures in fey lands but i have so many god damn rings from machine land
shrewd berry
We got stabbed by flaming swords and then threw speers at a lady
crude oracle
i also hate that i couldnt get every item in a room cause the water rose and got me and i cant reset the room to go get the rest
shrewd berry
learn how to sswim then
crude oracle
keep sleeping for 10 more hours
rustic sapphire
now?
rustic sapphire
You left your game on
because I have too much god damned ram and I get lazy sometimes.
shrewd berry
In vc
rustic sapphire
a perfectly reasonable ammount of health to survive on.
shrewd berry
shrewd berry
rustic sapphire
fear me.
I can mid roll in letto II armor.
full kit out, I can get 70% damage reduction.
crude oracle
that funny moment of where i did all the things before i even met the quest giver
by the time i went to the guy who is ment to tell me what to do in machine world i already did all the machine things now im assuming im at the end point
crude oracle
also i gotta say that machine world boss is one of the best designs ive seen in the game
despite the fact i probably annihilated N'erud
rustic sapphire
as a "silly" and "interesting" note
currently as of this message, you can only have 60 trait points.
which as literally anyone who has played remnant one knows, or is a few hours into two knows, is no where near enough.
the devs are apparently open to raising that cap, or using other measures, but as of right now, it just aint great.
they know of the issue, theyve even responeded to a few forum threads, now we just wait, I just thought I should inform all of you that currently, the trait system aint in a good place.
there are a lot of other smaller customizations that help work around that, but well, not all too much overall anyways.
so have fun with that note.
winged sail
Wait only 60? That's silly
crude oracle
ive mostly been pumping points into my skill recharge and health
rustic sapphire
Wait only 60? That's silly
extremely.
and considering from my own experience playing on nightmare mode using the tankiest build I can MAKE, the game assumes your base 4 traits are maxed out
considering that you get 5 points split across those via your primary archatype, that means, at the end of it all, you get 25 points to dump into your other traits
it feels like, at least from my end, as a player, a misscommunication between design teams.
crude oracle
and the archetype trait levels on its own
rustic sapphire
yes, so you get in total, 85 points.
25 of which are not under your control
archatype traits count as level 0 when not playing the archatype.
so no, you do not get to have fun with those for free.
crude oracle
also i forgot to go see if i could go buy my second archetype thing i just went straight to the next realm
rustic sapphire
bonk
crude oracle
of course there not free you silly you got to level them first
rustic sapphire
but so yeah, the devs are supposedly, working on a solution of some type.
Id say just raise the trait point cap to 180 or something. given there are, as of right now, some 34 traits in the game.
rustic sapphire
of course there not free you silly you got to level them first
alright lemme explain simpler
archatype traits, level with the archatype
known fact. we agree.
when you hit level 10 in that archatype that trait becomes "useable" with other archatypes
crude oracle
fusion
rustic sapphire
by "useable" it means it is level 0, and you have to invest one of your EXTREMELY PRECIOUS trait points into it.
rustic sapphire
I feel like you are talking about something else entirely.
I have explained this as simply as I can
crude oracle
well you are using 2 of them at the same time aint you once you unlock it?
(not abilities just traits)
rustic sapphire
...... yes using 2 classes gets you an extra free archatype trait.
but again, you can swap between archatypes freely.
I have 4 seperate archatypes I can choose from.
at level 10 of an archatype an archatype trait becomes usable on other archatypes, but when it does its just a normal, unleveled trait, making it effectively worthless given how few trait points we have.
crude oracle
im only after tank type and healer type really
i like that ammo boost
i currently got
i just need to find some otherworldly heavy armor though cause all ive found is light space armor
rustic sapphire
heaviest best armor is letto II. look up a guide to find it, its in a weird spot, you can access it once you have access to the labrynth.
crude oracle
im already in the labyrinth
rustic sapphire
well, look up a guide then
I sure as hell have no idea how to explain where it is.
crude oracle
ill probably find it if its in my version
rustic sapphire
its in every version
the labrynth is IDENTICAL
in every game version
why is it the exception? I have no idea, theres seemingly no lore reason.
I guess they just wanted a more currated experience FOR ONCE.
crude oracle
probably cause its a constant in lore wise
i also need to return to the main area to see if i can make my boss weapon and get an archetype
rustic sapphire
archatypes are gotten by buying those weird 1500 scrap items that seemingly do nothing. take them to the guy that first got you your archatype, and pay him more scrap and crystals, and he'll give you another one for perminant use AND for new characters.
crude oracle
i thought it was cause i got a random unknown thing from killing the world boss
i even took the hard route and wiped out N'erud in the process
rustic sapphire
fun
Im off to do more quickplay, probably on nightmare.
why you might all ask?
because I need suffering and my trait build is complete and I have nothing better to do with my time than to suffer relentlessly.
yay
dear god we need more trait points.
grand lintel
@rustic sapphire Does a location named "Tillers rest" ring a bell?
rustic sapphire
<@202944248801263616> Does a location named "Tillers rest" ring a bell?
yeah, very much.
I hate that place
you want help?
grand lintel
Do you remember a pit near the end of the sewers?
grand lintel
yea
rustic sapphire
Ive been meaning to do that
yeah just saw that, just wait 90 minutes, no you dont need to be in the area.
unless you need me to say something else, becuase thats all I know on the topic
grand lintel
naw just wanted to share it, better to know about a patience test like that earlier than later
rustic sapphire
yeah well.... last I saw it was in an adventure mode I think....
which means..... well if you ever go off to get it could ya ping me?
yeah my worlds rolled with havesters reach instead
arguably the more fun and interesting map\
well, yeah, if you havent snagged it yet, lemme know when you go do so, if you already have, guess Im gonna go make an adventure mode
grand lintel
apparently the weapon is pretty good, grenade/rocket launching pistol
rustic sapphire
oh so THATS what people keep shooting me in the back with
LOVE THAT
yes, Ive been downed roughly 5 times now, by people just firing their massive doom weapons, forgetting that this game has FRIENDLY FIRE.
alright and nightmare randoms are just complete morons who don't know how the game works
lovely
guess Im gonna have to, actually play the campaign
might as well beat it ey?
crude oracle
great now game is being stupid with an update saying i dont have space for an update when i literally have plenty of god damn space!
crude oracle
i had to uninstall and now reinstalling
crude oracle
looks like the 2 new areas for me are elf slums and tree lands
rustic sapphire
yeah, starting area is randomized, but then you get the fae/elf world, and yesheria, but this time with root.
we went to tree lands last game, it was really nice, there wasn't any root there.
now look whats happened
crude oracle
im going to assume one of those would be switched with machine realm if you went to either of those first
rustic sapphire
yap
see the completed teleportal map
no I dont know what that last slot is, it seemingly doesnt exist/means nothing.
idk
hidden socket
Extra spot
Probably slc
Dlc
And makes the menu look nixe
Having it off center would suck
rustic sapphire
fair nuff
and there will be 3 DLCs
2 will probably be glow ups of areas, 1 will probably be a new area, given how they did it last time.
also if anyone ever finds something called "rock of anguish" please tell me where to find it
I need it
grand lintel
does the game have the roguelite mode from the first?
grand lintel
rustic sapphire
it was very tacked on.
immensely tacked on
it was worse adventures with no real gain.
grand lintel
winged sail
The first time I tried the the roguelike mode I got gorefist as the first boss and quit
hidden socket
We need to get back to 1
hidden socket
But for me, my bet for dlc is
Dlc #1 - new zone
Dlc #2 -new content
Dlc #3 - rogue like and or horde mode
By new content I should specify like new systems
rustic sapphire

youre weird. but okie.
winged sail
Speaking of.
winged sail
@unique gull @hidden socket Would you both be free to play more Remnant over the weekend?
hidden socket
Yup
crude oracle
badly wants to join depending on timing
rustic sapphire
https://tenor.com/view/no-u-no-you-mouse-knv-knvgif-gif-26340551
we're all weird.
rustic sapphire
*badly wants to join depending on timing*
max 3 players.
for some reason.
so you can't join em
winged sail
I get having a max for balance reasons. Let us turn it off. 500 person Remnant
rustic sapphire
you wouldnt all fit onto the map
I think the most number of entities Ive seen on screen at once was like.... 7
the game would probably lag out
and also you wouldnt be able to fast travel or reset the level
winged sail
And?
rustic sapphire
fair nuff
say hi to my new favorite ring.
I die to things in 2 hits with my heaviest armor tank build, so I said screw it. glass cannon dodge tank time.
my max health is 50%
I have a bunch of buffs that feed off of that
I have perminant haste.
fear me.
crude oracle
im waiting to get scrap for the challenger engram and the machine world boss weapon
cause that thing looks neat
rustic sapphire
....... that doesnt mean anything to me
what. is. the. weapon.
a name
its effect
crude oracle
i literally can not return to nerud
crude oracle
its a supernova gun from what i saw from the description
crude oracle
of course that bit is in the wiki but not the boss itself!
rustic sapphire
https://remnant2.wiki.fextralife.com/Sha'Hala+Spectral+Guardian+of+N'Erud
you mean this boss?
rustic sapphire
its the overall page for the boss
crude oracle
i fought the actual bugger himself
rustic sapphire
yes thats lovely.
grand lintel
I get having a max for balance reasons. Let us turn it off. 500 person Remnant
there was a mod for that, but it got deleted
im mad now
rustic sapphire
I just killed an eldrich horrors soul by offering to be consumed then shooting it.
crude oracle
looks cool as hell in physical form
rustic sapphire
neato
crude oracle
is also apparently the harder version
rustic sapphire
neat
crude oracle
apparently i get a relic later cause i can return to the blackhole itself or something but nerud is just gone i didnt even get any of the shop thing there
rustic sapphire
neato
crude oracle
well i wouldnt say neato i missed out on a heal thing that makes me invincible and then recovers my health after it runs out

honestly if we wanna talk about things you missed out on
requires the key you used to summon the harder boss to be traded into a giant web thing, that then spits out a different relic, that you then trade to get this relic
which is arguably the best overall relic in the game, given that it just heals you. infinately. passively.
now its on use effect is kinda junky, but otherwise its great.
overall if I get my right setup, it will give me 8 HP per second, and given that my max HP is 65, thats pretty bloody good
yes Im already working on a hyper optimized build
because Im a lunatic.
crude oracle
also that machine world boss just reminds me of things ive seen from The Eternal Cylinder
rustic sapphire
yeah, well, they're the only god damned wiki on this nonsense even though they get things wrong at least half the time and have incomplete wiki pages 90% of the time.
I hate them, but they are whats there, and what I can easily link to.
yay.

the stuff on supernova gun wasnt even there before when i got the material to make it etc
rustic sapphire
naw nothin on you, I just hate those scum farmers
their wiki formating is so stu...
not only stupid, wrong most of the time.
literally just today, it said "this ring drops in this specific location"
and there is ALREADY conflicting evidence online about it.
crude oracle
also the guides they have on how to find some of the items is very vague at times to the point where even with it, it would take time to find it
rustic sapphire
vague.... yeahhhh.... thats a way of putting it
"its in this area. somewhere. sometimes. go find it." -roughly 60% of the guides online right now.
and a good chunk of the time they dont even tell you where to find that area.
so you look it up, and fextralife just shrugs because theyve never been good at this, and everyone else shrugs because they have no idea what youre on about, and its a great time for no one.
anyways this is my.... fourth? fifth? time through this one area, looking for one ring.
I just want my 15% DR gad damnit.
wooooooooooooooooooooooo farminnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
rustic sapphire
another nothin run
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
rustic sapphire
well I got that ring.
now i need the other ring.
also summoner class..... not great.....
idk maybe it has some super good use but as is with my setup, the active abilities are more harm than good, let alone if the gremlins survive longer than a few moments.
its archon trait is really the only good thing but oh look. we dont have enough points to do anything.
yay.
I do love only having 60 trait points to play around with
really adds build veriety
rustic sapphire
you can.
and some lil bug dudes
I think the bug dudes will be good
because the bramballers just SUUUUCCCKKKKKK
the big lad eats too much health.
its 35% of total.
considering my max HP is 50%, thats effectively 70% of my HP, for one dude.
now thats mostly a me problem, Ill definately be sticking with the class for its archon skill, just not sure how much use Ill get out of the rest of it.
Im not sure why I think the fliers will be so much more useful, but maybe its because they'll at least dink people on the head occationally with a magic missile
honestly if nothing else, that damage buff on sac will be quite handy
if I ever remember to use it

<@176094677810806785> <@324633692557410305> Would you both be free to play more ...

those who have been to the robo planet, ya'll remember that big giant square mass of fog?
so turns out I can roll through it, which lets me basically speed farm this ring.
hell yes.
also I may or may not now know that the phantom wasteland always generates in the same orientation, and with some of the same large features.
EX: if you go to the right of the first entrance to the zone, and then follow along the edge you'll find the massive square block of fog, just past that, as in straight shot through, is the first MSQ connecting dungeon.
meaning if you can.... oh I dont know.... roll through the fog, you can save a LOT OF TIME!
rustic sapphire
here is visual proof of this nonsense. its great.
rustic sapphire
my equipment setup is now 90% finalized.
all I need is one more item..... which would require restarting my campaign to get.....
and I might choose a different secondary
rustic sapphire
final boss hurts and is stupid.
it annoys me, and is really confusing, and no one wants to help me because apparently I die to much.
not like they'd die any less if the boss actually attacked them
but NOPE. chooses to hard focus me.
which is just lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
also has a second phase, which is disorienting, confusing, and has basically no tells.
which is great.
especially when its main thing is wombo comboing you into nothing within the span of a few moments of even ENTERING the phase.
spoilers for that ||unless you know its coming, it gets what is effectively free damage on you almost instantly, by doing a near instantanious attack directly to you, which then neatly combos into a second attack, almost garunteed to KILL YOU instantly. even if you had max HP and armor. it just doesnt care.||
||unless you know its coming, and know how to counter it, effectively only possible by dying to it before, and then after that, it can drag you back to its first phase when its mid attack, you fight around in the first phase for about 10 seconds, and then you get summoned back and its STILL MID ATTACK. WHY. THAT SHOULDNT BE SOMETHING IT CAN COMBO INTO.||
and all this would be fine, if it didn't have absurdly high health, armor, and almost lives at the edge of your weapons effective range massively reducing damage.
so basically, ya screwed.
Remnant 1s final boss at least felt fair with its nonsense.
this just feels assinine.
crude oracle
oh ive already been told about that boss day 1
rustic sapphire
That’s nice dinga. Some of us like to play blind
Playing blind should be reasonably possible
Not this nonsense.
crude oracle
knowledge is power is all i can say
rustic sapphire
Ive got a running theory going on for world states and to prove it I need to do a bit of a census.
just respond back to this whenever you get a chance, what was your first world, what was the boss kill objective (who did you have to kill to progress the main story) then what were your other 2 worlds and their boss kill objectives.
running theory is there are 2 world states (thats not the theory thats a known factor) one Im calling the A plot, and one Im calling the B plot. A plots are long, sloggy, and take a while, while B plots are relatively shorter and simpler. the running theory is that A plots are only for your first world, while B plots are for your second/third world.
(labrynth and the final area are set in stone and don't change no matter what, so they arent being coutned as part of this investigation)
if you don't have both of your secondary worlds done, Ill just take whatever you've been pointed towards to do in them (look Ive played through these enough times I basically know what leads to what just based on what happens.)
this all is important because some quest items need to be dragged across worlds to get other items, something that is distinctly not possible in adventure mode, which is why Im trying to figure this out NOW, to save us all time later.
unique gull
so @winged sail and @hidden socket tomorrow we game ? or saturday ? when can i expect the shooty shoots ?
winged sail
#1083461795404058744
unique gull
oh...
hidden socket
yeah
winged sail
That's at 7 in my and Weegy's time so we could probably play some before that. Im free basically all saturday and sunday
unique gull
i mean im free pretty much all the time this weekend besides if im asleep
and i can always go degenerate gamer hours if need be so
plin plon me
we'll make it work
grand lintel
rustic sapphire
but
but DR caps at 80
THEY FORGOT TO ACTUALLY CAP IT?!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
there was one job
one job to be had
make the stats actually do what they say
well thats very obviously a glitch given what the stats actually say, soooooo, that should be fixing itself upon the first wave of fixes
rustic sapphire
well, "beat" the final boss, doesnt really count because some asshole in my game had a cheat on that gave everyone basically infinate regen....
which I didn't notice till the boss was basically dead, and I had no idea which of the randos was doing it soo..... bloody hell.
guess Ill do it legit in the hardest difficulty.
way to ruin my fun asshole.
oh also the credits are unskippable.
you might aks "how do you not notice your health suddenly jumping up significantly every time you take damage"
I play a glass cannon and if I dont dodge attacks I basically instantly die, and I don't typically pay attention to my teammates HP bars.
so that twas ANNOYING.
oh and the CREDITS ARENT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
crude oracle
im going to be insane and go back into machine world adventure mode to try see if i can get space guns
rustic sapphire
cool
crude oracle
oh and one guy i watched i think is just perfecting the summon build
just getting lot of regen from gun and big summon
also randomly if you do happen to ever find a piledriving machine in the middle of nowhere in machine world i recommend looking for a hole underneath one of them
crude oracle
did you find what it unlocks though?
rustic sapphire
well now I can go off and hunt the tranquil heart.
also my theory about A plots and B plots is completely wrong, just got disproved right in front of my face.
this does not bode well for the tranquil heart collection.
crude oracle
i gotta say im liking supernova gun that i got from alternate machineworld boss fight
turns out its great for ripping through hordes
gleaming gale
my one pro tip for remnant 2: this game has fantastic positional audio so if you're on headphones I warmly recommend hesuvi
rustic sapphire
hesuvi?
oh, a sound thingy.
eh, my headphones are fairly good at determining sound direction already.
that or Ive listened to so much directional ASMR that I got really good at pinpointing where sounds are coming from
but yeah, this game has great sound ques. in bossfights always have sound on, makes it so much easier.
or for added challenge mute the game and cry out in agony as random enemies who only show themselves by sound que one shot you from nowhere.
gleaming gale
hesuvi with the right settings is like absolute magic
rustic sapphire
back to the campaign reset grind
this would be so much easier if I could just see the next world without having to go through the whole labrynth
alright another morrow parish
now all thats left is the 50% chance for the correct nerud world
crude oracle
good lord gurm i learnt of a maddening secret!
rustic sapphire
good lord gurm i learnt of a maddening secret!
Archon?
Because I’ve seen the madness too.
rustic sapphire
I mean we knew it was behind the door
Just not how to open it
And the method is just…. So stupid.
crude oracle
i didnt even know what was behind said door till now
rustic sapphire
Ah
crude oracle
i can understand the stuff involving ford but i have no idea how they figured out the rings
rustic sapphire
Data mining
Literally
The devs have stated (supposedly) there is no in game solution for the door, it had to be datamined
Which I put under really annoying
rustic sapphire
@crude oracle so I just did the nerud fight you did (fighting the actual guy not his spirit or whatever)
the hidden, secret fight, which you need a specific item for, is the easier of the 2 fights.
I dont even know how they did this
cool gun though
worth obliterating a reality for
crude oracle
all i know is eventually after a bit you get to return to the black hole and get relic
but yeh its pretty decent againt wiping out groups of normal enemies
just goes through and damages them all
rustic sapphire
yap yap
crude oracle
also i recommend never being in the view of the secondary fire
rustic sapphire
supposedly you get the same result with the other fight after waiting 12 hours
crude oracle
rustic sapphire
also i recommend never being in the view of the secondary fire
good to know
crude oracle
i saw i had the trait that increases AOE and i thought yeh F no to leveling that if i use this gun
rustic sapphire
deffine in veiw
crude oracle
if your above or below it you might be fine when you set it off but if your close to it expect to be set on fire as well
rustic sapphire
I see
also shooting it (the secondary fire ball) caused my game to nearly lag out
oh dear
thats not good
crude oracle
please sir calling it a fireball is like comparing a spark to a sun
thats a supernova blast
also has a you know jangos mine shock wave
it has that kinda effect too
but yeh when im indoors and facing normal enemies in numbers its a good gun
rustic sapphire
good to know.
Ill probably sadly never use it, but man does it look nice on the shelf
I like my typewritter a bit too much
and the special "fargazer"
which works a dream on armored/resistant targets
that DOT just dont give a damn
I mean look at this madness
literally
the debuff is called madness
crude oracle
at least now i have insentive to do repeat nerud adventure modes cause it get plenty of scrap from items ive already got
so i can keep rerolling as im looking for certain things while also getting scrap
rustic sapphire
you didn't know that?
repeat rings/necklaces give scrpa
repeat weapons and gear give +1s
oh also my current build lags out my iventory unless I unequip my health limiter ring
no idea why it does that, probably a bunch of calls and checks related to the advanced stat menu, but for now, it causes so much lag until I unequip the ring
crude oracle
yeh i didnt know until i was in my first adventure mode of nerud and found and item i already had and got scrap
oblique cobalt
I’ve heard that there’s a weapon that you have to wait 90 real life minutes to get
Really?
rustic sapphire
Yup
And a relic that takes 12 hours
Have fuuuun.
No I’m not joking
Oh and a secret that takes 2 days
Real time.
100% speed runs of this game are going to throw a fit.
No the game doesn’t need to be open for the 2 day one
I think
Probably
crude oracle
so where and what is this 90 min weapon
rustic sapphire
so where and what is this 90 min weapon
I don’t know what, it’s in some sewer dungeon in elf land.
crude oracle
ah
all I know is before i started a nerud adventure i was in elf slums and it was ablaze
and im still waiting on when i can return to my campaign Nerud so i can get the relic eventually
oblique cobalt
Apparently you have to unblock a pipe and wait until the water rises to reach another area
crude oracle
what i do hate is there in nerud there are a few timed things if you fail you cant access them again
so i would have to restart an adventure run if i was looking for one of them specifically and failed that level
there was even one where the timer just reached zero and i reached a button that would turn it off but i still died
winged sail
@unique gull @hidden socket Remnant at <t:1690657200:t>?
unique gull
sure
hidden socket
Yeah
hidden socket
@unique gull
winged sail
crude oracle
welp ive basically got everything i really truly want from machine world
well except for one more boss weapon but that can wait
now to and im being literally with this im probably going to be gasing peasants in the elf slums
gleaming gale
is it me or is yaesha kinda the weakest world, same as in remnant 1
crude oracle
i would not know im still in elf slums
gleaming gale
I bet they're not slums, I bet the place looks much nicer in the daylight & also not on fire
gleaming gale
ugh all that tacky gold. I made EXTRA sure to break all the breakables. screw you fae you don't deserve to have chairs
rustic sapphire
Okay but why? Those orbs are fairly cheap.
crude oracle
kinda funny now how enginneer is also quite nice
despite that one time i left my turret somewhere way behind me and cant recall it unless i go to a crystal
rustic sapphire
despite that one time i left my turret somewhere way behind me and cant recall i...
but you can recall it?
just double tap the summon button
oh also I got void heart!
meaning I just need 1 ring left and I can unlock archon
unique gull
@winged sail @hidden socket yeah so it might be a bit difficult for me to get to play more this weekend xD my mum just invited me to go on holiday trip to germany from wednesday till sunday so xD
unique gull
dunno about counter attack :v but like we're staying in Harzen which ive never been to before so
hidden socket
this weekend is Baldurrrrsss
unique gull
Well the invasion will start at 2 am so imma catch some shut eye :v y’all have fun this week with gaming
rustic sapphire
oh yeah, fun thing yall should probably know, unique weapons seem to have interactable spots when you inspect them, and it pulls up the list of quest items.
we have no idea what does what yet, buuuut in the coming days/week someone will probably brute force it all. keep an eye out.
or maybe not all unique weapons
it is currently unclear!
gleaming gale
this game has a lot of "there was never any chance I'd find this without an online guide" and I'm not sure how to feel tbh
like the engineer class
crude oracle
and you only will happen to more easily find it if you get the crashed ship to spawn
otherwise you have to encircle the whole second map of that world till you find the right spot
gleaming gale
found the crashed ship, tried to get in, the scanning laser goes "beep beep nope", I never figured out what I needed to do to open the door
crude oracle
you know when you find the extractor machines on that same map sometimes?
also the engineer isnt even in that ship its just usually near it the spot where it is
winged sail
Remnant has always felt like a game meant to be played blind the first time then go through again with a guide
winged sail
Just sweep and clear everything will get you a large amount of the items for that first time anyway
rustic sapphire
I think in todays update gunfire broke DR, because it feels way less effective
crude oracle
i dont even know what DR is
now im kinda sick of remnant cause for some dumb ass reason despite having PLENTY of space on my computer it can never just update 4.5 gb of the game!
rustic sapphire
Damage Reduction
The thing the game directly refers to as “DR”
It’s also a common shortening in gaming.
crude oracle
it bugs me cause if steam doesnt wisen up and just let me download the bloody 4.5 gb of update then i have to uninstall and reinstall it all over again just so that update is in
winged sail
@hidden socket @unique gull We still on for this weekend?
hidden socket
Maybe not Saturday but Sunday for sure
winged sail
Cool
unique gull
sounds good 🙂
rustic sapphire
https://www.reddit.com/r/remnantgame/comments/15kr8ei/damage_reduction_update/
in case anyone missed it and suddenly thinks their damage reduction has gone down (like I did)
damage reduction has stayed exactly the same, its just that the advanced stats screen (buggy abomination that it was) showed damage reduction as ADDITIVE, instead of multiplactive, this wasn't changing calculations, just making everything more annoying
why this wasn't put in literally any patchnotes and instead hidden away on a reddit post, I have no god damned idea
crude oracle
god damn it again why is every update forcing me to uninstall and reinstall the bloody game!
EVERY UPDATE!
gleaming gale
it does? how come
rustic sapphire
Dingas hard drive is busted iir
gleaming gale
on my pc it just takes an enormous amount of time as it applies patches to eleventy gazillion teeny tiny files, so it looks like it's sitting there at 0% cpu/hard drive activity and not moving, but after an hour it goes
I still agree that the patching process for this game is bizarrely onerous
crude oracle
no it just does a stupid you dont have room despite having plenty of room
and it seems to be a common occurrence for plenty of people
rustic sapphire
gleaming gale
oh yeah it also fills up my harddrive by a lot
crude oracle
it doesnt even fill my hard drive when trying to update just automatically says sorry no room looks at 15-20GB worth of space i have left
gleaming gale
yeah it uses up 60+ gb while updating afaict
