ep7 is too chaotic for me, it gets kinda tiring at e7m3 because ||of the twin terrors||
I just don't really like the episode gameplay wise
but I do like how it looks
Easy
Aeturnum
Or whatever it is
Imagine not killing the twin terrors with your fists lol lmao
You run for the life
Me don hab black labirinse 😔
there is something even better than aeturnum against them
yeah I did run away on my second playthrough because I always get tired when I get to e7m3
also while making screenshots for a wiki template i discovered something truly evil
why
what is this supposed to be
flaming spear. for some reason fire particles are offset and upon close inspection it looks... well, like this.
yes.
COOKED
more like
RAW
COOKED AIR??
you know, maybe i should make a list of bugs in this game for devs to check out
🤭
do they even update amid evil to fix bugs
never seen it update before
and it's been out since like 2019
last patch update was in November 2022, which changed the codex, added weapon wheel and made some bug fixes
oh
after that were SteamDeck news, VR news and BL news
this patch update released alongside the steam deck announcement
do you think they'll release another patch when releasing the black labyrinth ?
if so, I hope they patch some things like adding level screenshots for sacred path because it still uses astral equinox's level pics for some reason
Leon is a quirked up catgirl goated with the sauce
i hope because some codex changes were worse than before and some bugs still exist, like enemy AI not being able to spawn sometimes or climb.
speaking of codex, do the bosses have their own stuff on the codex ? because I can't read some stuff that is cut (probably the resolution or something)
I also can't read the story properly
would love to see Leon in a maid costume, fuzzy ears and a tail sticking out of his ass
Amid catgirl
yeah I definitely can't scroll down to read the rest
guess you were not the one destined to read the passage
no boss entires in the codex. although you can read some info about them in 4th level entires.
i dont think anyone is. i have the same issue.
wish they had entries, it would be interesting to read about them
but I guess that would spoil the player
so
if you want to know a bit more about the bosses you can find info here:
https://amidevil.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Bosses
not much lore info though, but i aim to add some soon.
They kick your ass unless you go into soul mode with the staff of torment
I guess this issue was already shown here multiple times before
how do I stop amid evil from cooking my toes when I play
im not sure if you're serious when you say staff of torment
To be honest
Don’t play with your feet
pick it up from your legs and put it on your desk
It's been a while since i played the game
cool, now is a good time to replay it because
My pc is on my desk, I'm getting burnt, my toes are getting cooked
No, waiting for black labyrinth
reminder, the black labyrinth will release in less than 16 days
gonna play rtx amid evil on my PC that cannot play Amid Evil with 50 percent downscaling and everything on low
if you don't have an rtx, amid evil rtx won't even open at all, right ?
and anyways, I could probably try to play the game at all high settings and my pc would explode
same, my pc is kinda mediocre
I can't play with a downscaling higher than 60
I feel blind when I'm playing because I can't see anything from afar
i wont lie its kinda better with chunky pixels
Expected much worse from my PC with Amid Evil but nah
runs good
Also if you smooth it out with low resolution scaling it can help it look a tiny bit better
im glad my pc can run shadows on medium level fine because oh man you dont want to play Ep6 on low shadow
Expanse
alr
I didn't find Arcane Expanse that bad with low shadow honestly
what made it so bad for you Clim?
Even on low settings its still by far my favorite ep in temr sof atmosphere
well, it looks worse with low shadow quality but the atmosphere is still there
I still need to play all the levels with a higher shadow quality
tho my fps can get significantly lower
the thing is: unlike other episodes, where the source of light are usually torches and fire, Arcane Expanse has lamps. not just lamps, very bright lamps.
so i launched the game quickly and made a comparison between low and medium shadow resolution
so many hotties on the council
here's a room in Arcland Verge with medium shadow res
i want to marry UNNAMED_ENTITY.54
and here's the same room with low shadow res
YEP
Didn’t know it was that big of a difference
IT BECOME BRIGHT AF
GAH DAHM
BRIGHTER THAN THE FOURTH EPISODE
and here's the same room, with low shadow res and 50% scaling
DO YOU LIKE BEING BLINDED??
You know what the lighting quality on Oculus Quest 2 is? That’s probably where I’m gonna do a replay of AE
no, i dont have VR
Damn
and medium VS low 3
I actually like Low in the 3rd one
yeah it gives an interesting vibe, although when i checked it on High resolution it looked more interesting
so yeah, if you wanna play Amid Evil on the lowest resolution - go for it, the game is still beautiful even without effects and anti-aliasis, BUT leave shadow resolution AT LEAST on medium.
me too
ep7 has one issue
i have to type aehide aeshot and adjust the fov for a perfect screenshot, around every single corner
leon is suffering from success
leon
AEDEBUG gotcha
Numpad 7 + Numpad 8 + Numpad 9 = screenshot time
does it stop cheevos from being unlocked?
i dont think so cos there is an achievement for activating cheats
Is Leon's cat tail stuck to his tailbone or is it a butt plug tho
☹️
freezes enemies that already spawned
wrong channel Rudy
then no AEDEBUG
Only epic hackers have a number pad

Depends on what you’re dreaming of
anyone else excited for the for the ♂️AMID♂️EVIL♂️DUNGEON♂️DLC♂️
I'm excited for the Amid Evil mobile spin-off title
no
hahaha
so this is the last death i needed for the cheevo
i noticed time went slower around the powered up orb
and thought hmm what happens if i step into it
umm what
love this level, especially how its designed to look like a church
The dragon things jumpscared me so badly
good luck with those, they will be shooting you a lot
Ive got a 3080 and a 5900x and my shit hits like 110 C
damn.
to be fair Im running the game like all the way turned up
and have a tiny case with just an air cooler
but still
im fucking stupid lol
i was so bothered with taking a screenie of the road to the final boss i forgot to take weapons
axe it
yea
i have 3050 and i5 1240
and it hits 99°C
i tried to actually
he's not solid so you can't axe him
anyway
peak game
i would have been so impressed and touched by the game spiritually 4 years ago if i actually tried playing through its entirety
back in the day i stopped at e5m2
i was so close to the end lol
@night ginkgo Thank you for Amid Evil.
is 5090 real?
i really love how Forgemaster looks like a gigachad here
"So yes, I created deadly machines and killed many heroes who stood in my way. Still redeemable though"
being a silly kitten running around
same but im hitting 6000 C
fank u =w=
yay, new challenger approaches
take this
i have to wait like 3 weeks instead of 6 years lol
you're welcome
yea but 3050 is stronger
Never got the naming scheme of Nvidia stuff
Bigger number, not necessarily better performance
Then again I’m fucking stupid so there’s probably a reason for the numbers and such
mrrow
fun fact: Leon actually thought about lore and gave us an answer on this question
so by this logic, you can actually save Earth from becoming swallowed by Solar Chad
Leon thought of an explanation that wasn't "it was cool"
Does make sense tho so yknow
it is cool
Anyways what should I do now
beat the game
Should I do a higher difficulty run
Evil difficulty + Warrior mode + Auto-soul
always thought how funny it is that you sacrifice an entire planet for some mid damage
sacrificing worlds to planethop only to fail the planethop
killing 8 billions people because some rando panic fired on some living vines
on god
Archmage of Chaos everybody!
Champion is the real villian confirmed
he lived up to his name!
8 billion souls sacrificed for my shitty rocket jump
good thing you got a copy of that
dooms an entire solar system by shooting a star
doesn't do anything because you shot it at the solar saint
literally breakfast for him
The solar saint eating the suns that you shot at him knowing you've doomed over 300 entire solar systems
Save the earth by choosing the sun
easiest episode to get genocider on?
probably the first
im trying to do episode one but i keep getting 57/59 on the first level
i cant be bothered to do it on evil or hard
type AEDAR to find unspawned enemies
I killed evil while beating the par time on warrior mode 🧂
on evil difficulty
he likes his breakfast
also warrior mode gives you default health on every level
meaning it's sometimes better
chad, now do it with AEON
slowmo
does slowmo make beating the par time harder because it doesn't slow down the clock?
technically yes
but do you need to beat par time though?
I already did 🧂
WHERE YA GOIN BOY
here it is, older post.
sparks is da best
It's iiiiight
Was just using it with fmj to kill 2 challenges with 1 stone
nice
what are the hidden achievements
They're achievements that are hidden
Sweet
\
this is now canon lore
Hopefully this is expanded upon in the Black Lab 🙏🙏🙏
You needed to know
unusual marketing for a camera company


he kinda looks like adam driver here lol
Leon Ardo DiCaprio presents: Amid Evil
spoiler: leon will appear as a boss battle in black lab
perhpas
hairy feet easter egg?
no eww

can you pet da dog in Black Labyrinth?
no
can you eat the dog
can you eat the champion
One step at a time brother
die three times on metal threat
leon why would you make this level
We believe in you, you got this
No pressure
When I get a gf I will force her to play amid evil and if she doesn't like it I'm going to town with an axe
most sane amid evil fan
I'm gonna name my first son Leon and make him play through Amid Evil and Amid Evil: The Black Labyrinth as soon as he start to speak, so his first word would be "masterpiece"
what if that won't be his first word?
his first two words would be colour theory
u can't play through amid evil without saying masterpiece
This game looks awesome, and very glad to see that Black Labyrinth got its release date, because now my hope is that they will get this ported over to the Switch or all the consoles for that matter. It looks too good to just be on one platform!!!
some recent steam reviews suggest otherwise
Yes true
ermm??? black labyrinth bi-weekly updates where?
no
i can't
i'm in utter disbelief
same tbh

Asked a girl if she was familiar with the warrior archetype
And then I showed her pictures of conan

Should’ve been the champion
She laughed at me but still climbed up if you are understanding what I'm insinuating
hello
hey leon real question here, is the bl weapons in main campaign feature going to allow you to replace a specific weapon or can you only replace weapons if it's both the axe and the other one I forgot the name of?
Hello perci
Fists replace axe
Scythe replace aeternum
can you fist yourself in blackyrinth
I mean are you only able to enable both or can you enable one or the other
BOTH
hah
This has been proven
TRUE
by the New Zealand government agents
so true king
rate the laodout bnoys
Any news on how much Black Labyrinth will cost when it's out?
Up on the Steam Page pretty sure
$12
Your soul
Damn
USD?
yeah
Cool cool
Just checking
Cuz some shit I want went on sale on steam but I didn't know if I had enough saved cuz Black Labyrinth is out in...two weeks?
I can refund one of my games and then get the other stuff lol
If you don’t have enough money you could also pay with your liver
Just a lil’ alternative
nah i need that to be an alcoholic later
it will probably have some sort of discount on launch as well
Shhhhhhh
That tracks
Cuz New Blood is fuckin awesome
oh, like introductory discount ?
Dave needs to come in clutch fr
either way I'll still buy it on day one, on sale or not
I’ll buy it launch week sometime
I have already purchased my copy of black labyrinth
black lab will also include return of the triad :o
(Milk sold separately)
wasn't it 10 dollars? why did you raise it 20%?
I always remember them saying 12 dolaridoos
although Leon has said multiple times that they ended up adding like two extra levels
a dollar per level...
I think I am being gaslighted
Bro fuck off
You guys put your time and sanity into this
$12 ain't shit
Make it $20
Or atleast like $16
About to ping Dave ocelot
If you wanna pay more ask Leon for his Paypal and dump your life savings into his wallet
amid evil will be deleted
I just feel that it's disrespectful to pay so little for it
then buy it multiple times
Prove your love for Leon by buying me the Black Labyrinth Rudi
Isn't the base game like 20 bucks?
20 bucks in a trench coat
Tfw you under price your game 😔
Whatever it will be worth every penny, can't wait to play it
time to start a Patreon fundraiser for Amid Evil 2
ae champion onlyfans

he would be showing pics of his Axe and other weapons
"SHOVED THE STAFF UP TOO HARD HE TURNED INTO WATER! 😱💥🫧👈😂"
I love the alpha
People would probably complain if it were 25 bucks or more
Thank you Author, awesome game.
Felt cute might destroy some planets later idk

@night ginkgo why are you trending.
because its a boring ass country with nothing going there so a mere indie dlc is enough to make news there
no offense
You're not wrong. Once i saw something was trending and it was literally one guy having a tanty about xbox in everones comments that day.
You idiot
What's going on, y'all?
Billions
Amid Evil will be the first game to reach evillions of dollars in export.
No it’ll reach amidillions
æillions
:(
I will be buying it multiple times so suck me
New Zealand has exports?
I thought they were sealed off from the rest of the world by impassable rifts in space
sheep
Actually New Zealand is an underwater mega empire with developments in tech 100 times greater than the whole world combined.
The activities we know about are just a cover up.
Or was it Australia?
New Zealand isn't real, therefore, Amid Evil Black Labyrinth isn't real.
You’re not real
actually New Zealand originally was Atlantis but they didnt like the climate so they moved close to Australia
hence where the magic comes from
amid diesel
Amid Easel
Amid Weasel
when I played the alphas for the first time, the killer award being spammed into the blank spaces felt like I was playing an AE build straight outta a creepypasta
you find a build of amid evil on a USB stick behind this creepy guy's house
the USB stick says DO NOT USE on it
so of course you put it in
then there's hyper realistic blood and crying and other clichès
evil comes out of the monitor
I fuck the evil to death because I'm goated and doesn't afraid of anything
"I'm goated and doesn't afraid of anything"
He doesn’t

The champ will succumb to his wounds UNLESS YOU ENTER YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER
THE EXPIRATION DATE AND THE 3 DIGIT CODE ON THE BACK
But you have to HURRY!
attention all amid evil gamers
attention all champions of the black labyrinth
How to save the Champion: Access your mother's purse, grab a funny card with a bunch of numbers on it, and enter in those numbers in the designated areas to be able to save the Champ!
Champion will never be succumbin' to Evil!
@night ginkgo rate the chinese order
looks alright
Egg cock soup
5mmr gang
The Black Labyrinth will be released tomorrow
I’m going to release into your ass tomorrow
the black labyrinth will be released
The Rack Babryinth will le beleased tomorrow
The Black Labyrinth
The
rudi will be released from the asylum tomorrow
Champion can't succumb to Evil, him getting the axe is canon event.
I will kidnap rudi
I wonder if we'll be able to access BL weapons in normal campaign after beating dlc.
Even if not, It's fine, more reasons to keep replaying the dlc.

the black labyrinth will not be released
caught in 4k you cant gaslight me i am a fortress
im not crazy!!
thanks,
breaking: dev verifies rumours that the black labyrinth may be released in the past or future
Simmo activity

rare simon activity
things must be afoot
black labyrinth cancelled

tomorrow
yesterday
will black labyrinth be a part of the halo universe
halo is part of the black labyrinth universe
someone should turn the lights on, so it's just 'the labyrinth'
IT'S CONFIRMED, EVIL FORCES = THE FLOOD
reminds me of my favorite baseball team
Washington 4Skins
haha
imagine Amid Evil on Build engine
no
lmao ion fury was full of puns
where does destiny come into this
I doubt even bungie knows
What are your theories on the role of The Watcher from the dlc?
I'm conflicted whether he'll be the final boss, deciding to give us one final challenge, or just someone who comments on our success.
Also, did anyone understand what was the thing at the end of his trailer?
Kinda looks like some draconic creature
he fucks women
so, my speculation here, he's probably the watcher of the Black Labyrinth. he observes anyone who dares to enter it and defines whether or not the challenger is worthy of its price - the Axe.
another theory of mine is that he's one of the Old Gods who forged the Axe and is watching over it so nobody steals it.
nothing much is known about him really except that his aesthetic gives me heavy The Void vibes. if devs told me he's one of the Evil's goons i would believe them.
and about the dragon
Bro, the Thunder Spirit?
Makes sense, in latest trailer his arena was shown covered with lightning strikes.
Perhaps it's one of his attacks.
What if he is a mid boss?
After all, Leon said the dlc is gonna be the journey to the labyrinth and labyrinth itself.
Maybe Thunder Spirit guards the gate to the labyrinth or one of the gates at least.
What if there are multiple gates each guarded by a boss?
i sure hope he wont become a regular enemy after the boss fight.
imagine playing Blood again.
If so, it's more of a less-health elite monster that appears, like, once every five rooms or so.
honestly i dont think it would considering that DLC has less levels and i have a feeling there would be, like, 3-4 mini-boss fights before the final one
Oh well.
He still looks cool as freak.
Something just hit me.
Episode 3 boss design is genius hidden visual pun.
Why? ||He's an eye of the storm. ||
Also, that liquid from episode 5 boss battle might just be an advanced coolant and not acid.
Don't know why would it melt the floor then, but it makes more sense.
Side note: does anyone know, who provided the Voice of the Ancients?
Tamara Ryan
Thanks.
It’ll be my birthday tomorrow

😳
will black labyrinth feature clips of leon devouring the chinese
If it doesn’t that a no purchase from me dawg
the black lab was made by leon, meaning it used a part of his brain.
the neutrons in his brain that took place in the decisions relating to amid evil will one day decompose and be lost forever, but the records of their actions and their consequences are hereby immortalized in amid evil.
glory to the champion, diphallic hero of the 7 celestial realms!
leon
Food right
Food?
I love the star of torment
Now
Let's summon Simmo to ask.
Simmo, Simmo, shall come here
Come into chat and confirm our fear
Simmo tell these people what they want to know or I’ll do something
hmmmmm
Im going to kiss simmo on the mouth
Rudi, otherwise known as r.u.d.i. (Actual Discord name) seems determined to perform acts of intense love in tandem with Leon Zawada and Simon Rance, developers of the hit shooter game Amid Evil , released in 2018. Said game has reached levels of critical acclaim and is a relatively big reason for the success of the company New Blood, founded and owned by Dave Oshry.
The company explained above and recognized as New Blood also helps fund and develop other hit video games such as Dusk, developed by David Szymanski, Faith, developed by Mason Smith, Ultrakill, developed by Arsi “Hakita” Patala, and many more such as Fallen Aces, Unfortunate Spacemen, and Gloomwood (also developed in part by David Szymanski).
I'm going to kill you
Amid evil when
Never
Unfortunate Spacemen 🧯
my baby
Spikey friends. They just want hugs.
Im sure i will enjoy finding out how they're trying to rip me to pieces
shitting
im finally playing through Amid Evil and holy fucking shit this game is amazing
one thing i appreciate is that key hunting doesnt suck ass. i fucking hate key hunting but this game does a good job at subtly guiding me to where i need to go, then giving me a path to loop back around to where i need to use the key
shortcuts in Amid Evil are one of the best features.
YEAH LESS GO, BLACK LAB CODEX CONFIRMED
yep
oh definitely. this game does so much to improve upon the boomer shooter formula while retaining the soul
its honestly impressive
and oh my god this game with rtx is GORGEOUS
niiiice, lore codex is back
another thing i like about this game is that every weapon is useful. i find myself mostly using the water rod for flying enemies, ice mace for general shenanigans, celestial claw for beefier enemies, the sword for.. when i dont have the ice mace. and the axe for.. well i dont really like using the axe but i know others like it
the sword is good for groups, but i mostly like using the ice mace and celestial claw
but claw ammo is very precious to me
what episode are you currently on?
solar solstice, since i forgot to do it before sacred path
i didnt know the level order so i got a few done out of intended order
from a progression point Solar Solstice is the 4th episode, so technically you did it right.
im just gonna say that you're in for an awesome time in later episodes.
oh i know, im super excited
this game is amazing
after i beat this game in rtx imma boot up my vr and play through AEVR
not gonna lie, solar solstice might be my favorite episode so far. its super pretty
that first level in solar solstice was GORGEOUS
hitting that button and seeing the window open and the light shine through
i really like how the sun rises as you get closer to the Bright Pass itself. such little things make a huge difference to how you see the game.
yeah the amount of detail in this game is insane
im so sad it took me THIS long to play through it
and the weapons feel SO GOOD to play around with
the ice mace is my favorite cause its oh so satisfying sticking enemies to walls
also civvie was right, finishing off a big fight really does make me feel like ash williams
Amid Evil definitely has the best visual candy out of any new blood game imo
the environments are so damn good, and the fact you can see from which area you've left and which you'll enter and all that
it's so good
Personally half the hype for the BL is just to see all the environments
whoever made the trailers for BL must get a free copy of BL, they did an awesome job making me hyped for the game.
just rewatching the og reveal trailer makes me shiver from how cool this is.
It definitely looks like the culmination of everything the amid evil dev team has learnt
hyped to see what the black labyrinth itself has in store for us
Actually, that is something I wonder, is this DLC created with the intent to be harder or about the same as the base game
Leon said it is way harder, especially on Evil difficulty.
Does that mean that lore wise, the champion literally did the hardest bit first, leaving the actual problem he was hired for a cakewalk?
"Bro I had a harder time walking through a maze than I did with anything you did, evil man."
big agree. the environments and detail are absurd, and every chapter feels so visually distinct
the water looks so good
like im a sucker for good looking water in video games
The Arcane Expanse is, to this day, the most beautiful FPS area I ever saw.
coupled with the music, it's so beautiful I'd genuinely wanna live there
that one was gorgeous, but im REALLY vibin with solar solstice so far
Oh yeah there's that stunning lake isn't there
i only did the first level so far in that chapter, and the big thing i remember is the lighting in that one room when you press the button to raise the window
to be fair he didnt have the Axe that time and he was one of the only mortals to cross the Gateway, so from a lore point of view he went for the hardest challenge.
from a meta point of view its a DLC, ofc its harder than the og game.
The only reason the Solar Solstice isn't an area I'd like to be in is because I personally never liked the sun that much lmao
God damn the sun
honestly fair. i like the sun. makes me happy. night time is my fave tho cause its so calming
Depression from a lack of sunlight is actually a thing
didnt know that but i believe it
i wouldnt like to be there because these guys are military psychos. bruh they have a monument of their enemy struck with a spear, one word about the night and the moon and you're done for.
to be fair, maybe they were a bit better before the evil came
the bosses in the base game have never struck me as particularly hard
Evil difficulty is a different topic, but otherwise
i was watching civvie's video on the game and he said the solar solstice boss is really annoying due to that jump attack thats hard to dodge
he is quite difficult, but actually manageable to beat
but he played on Evil
evil difficulty does make the bosses actually hard, which I appreciate
ill just conserve my soul power then use the ice mace to turn him into a pincushion
Civvie did one crucial mistake that made the fight harder for him:
didnt look up.
Also, gotta be honest, we don't give the Void enough praise. I think that area is also very pretty
honestly yeah he shouldve looked up
doom 1 logic lmao
im glad civvie is so popular. hes one of my favorite youtubers and seeing him be referenced in so many games in his favorite genre makes me happy
the Void is ASTONISHING. i love these crazy environments and fucked up platforms, it really shows how chaotic this realm is.
honestly i will be surprised if there will be an easter egg referencing Civvie in BL.
there has to be. maybe a sewer level?
we gotta increase the count somehow
i mean, Astral Equinox had a sewer level
oh shit it did, didnt it? i was having so much fun i didnt even notice
One thing i like
is that the BL sounds like a much more connected path
the main quest is basically 7 portals to 4-level minipaths
BL sounds like a full on from start to finish journey
im excited to see how it plays out. gonna go to bed now tho. 7 am and i havent slept yet
goodnight yall
Night night
good night!
damn black labyrinth lookin real good
qvake
Sue them
i have bound quicksave to mousewheel down and quickload to mousewheel up
i am so goated
neat to know im not the only person who customized controls. i bound jump to RMB and soul mode to space.
also found this awesome spot in black labyrinth
lol
You are a man of both precision and recklessness (much like myself)
Leon invented rott
idk why but such close moments happen a lot in quack and ape sex for me
like i am trying to do something fancy and just barely land on a ledge
makes it way more exciting
It's all calculated brah
Trust
The brain knows
That's why we're goated at fps
What mods are you playing with Arsenii? Looks pretty sweet.
amid evil's a good game
Man I was just asking
dwell, the second episode specifically
if you'd like to dive into quake maps i recommend quake injector
it's an app that lets you browse tons of maps in-app without looking shit up on the internet, and better yet, you just click download and play
no folder and download fuckery
yep you inject quake right into your veins
it looks maps up using the quaddicted database
wow it all sounds like drugs
I don't think it'd work with how painstakingly detailed the levels are
He revived it
Every game can but then it would not reap the benefits of the unreal engine
It would take way too much time to release a proper level editor for AE
Donut forget indefatigable is just two (2) people
They're working on another project anyway
average console enjoyer here, has a switch release of amid evil ever been confirmed/talked about?
you know, Amid Evil could benefit from another game set in the same universe
there were rumors about console releases and a word form Dave, but nothing is officially confirmed yet
ah okay, hope the rumors are true then cause the dusk port SLAPPED
To be fair, Amid Evil was just ported to VR
But yeah hopefully Console ports can be revealed soon
Console fps should be a bannable offense
nah console fps games are fine
The Black Labyrinth will be released tomorrow
The Black Labyrinth will be released next friday
damnit don't hype up poor old grandma like this
Leon rate this banger
Silence.
The masculine desire to live in a quake map
jesus christ, episode 6 is challenging on evil
got to the forges in amid evil
i hate it i hate it i hate it
the forges is actual dogshit
that first level in the forges was chronically unfun
Lasers, GO
it's crazy how marmite the forges are
some people's favourite levels
others hate it
yeah I kinda dislike the level design and some enemies
it's a bit challenging on evil because painmasters can survive an aeternum shot or maybe I somehow missed the shots-
I think I only really had issue with the first level in Forges, the rest were dope
something something having to get the weapons again but the enemies and environment are kind of CBT, so I feel like im fighting for my mf'in life for awhile
I really like e5m1's aesthetic because of the rain, the metal and shit and the forgemaster boss fight, the rest of the episode and the gameplay is eh imo
Forge haters should have their access to Black Labyrinth delayed by 2 weeks
A suitable punishment I think
I like the way the forges look and not so much how it plays
it also has the spike ball enemies so
The forges are goated Leon and don't let any casual scum tell you otherwise

forges return in back labyrinth
All piss lakes…
where did the piss come from
the robots
oh ok
I only really didn't like 3rd levels of the Forges. Thought the first level was amazing, the second level was okay, and the boss was the best in the entire game at least in my opinion cuz it was the only one I had to think about, and also the only one I died on.
The forges were ok imo but one of the weakest worlds
forge sucked lol
Maybe you sucked!! 🧡

There they are!
Leon’s scary basement 😱
Simmo Rance?
yeah
Simmo Quest.
I don’t think that’s the right rance…
Simmo Industries.
both of those are me
minor issue. so this door glitched and wouldnt open after i got the silver key. fixed itself after i reloaded the last autosave, just thought id mention it
yeah I think I know, it should be fixed in upcoming patch w/ black labyrinth
Aetherium
right after i said this i beat it
How'd you kill them
ice mace and claw
Does anyone know if the Star Of Torment Soul Mode will be nerfed when Black Labyrinth is out?
i doubt it. people are using it too often and dont complain about annihilating bosses in seconds, so i think it wont be nerfed.
although i really want that and i hope devs will hear me out when i say it makes the game much easier even on Evil difficulty.
Amid Evil doesn't need a meticulous balancing, it's already fun enough, no nerf is required.
simmo rants
yes
not by much, just 1/3 less damage against bosses only
so it's not an instant win button
Ah, that's good to hear.
Nicely done!
I agree, it might be the best one in the whole game, fitting for a final fight.
What difficulty?
medium
Nice.
also my favorite boss is still the funny sun man
Jumps from the sun itself
Throws sun bombs and does huge jumps
Gets angered and becomes sun bomb minigun
Bombs himself to death
Refuses to elaborate further
Dies, taking the sun with him
So yeah, cool boss indeed.
My friend tried doing Amid Evil on Evil difficulty as his first experience
He was doing relatively well until he got stuck on the Scrounge complaining that the boss was too spungy while continously ignoring my advice to just farm the minions for soul mode
Then, directly after, in this newly opened "pick your own next world" he managed to immediately go to the Forge, easily the hardest area, and has now given up at the Crucible of Pain
haha well
I have never laughed this much, but I fear he'll never play this game again.
you get what you get
reminder you can go back and change difficulty in the gateway
if they give it another go lol
I continously told him that too
but he's the type of guy who just refuses
Which is really irritating when trying to actually talk about game design with him.
Because he'll just go "damn game bad"
But, I do have to say, he's quite entertaining to watch rage.
it's a personality type for sure
"oh I'm gonna go play on the hardest difficulty to show how baddass I am at games" "ugh I keep dying games sucks"
"why is the jump so bad. oh the enemy is faster than me?"
I even told him like "evil is fun but I do not reccomend it for a first time, I genuinely think it was designed for people already knowledgable of this game."
response: "That's just bad game design"
"It's a hidden difficulty for a reason."
"Ok."
dies to astral angel 10 seconds later
"WHY ARE THEY SO FAST"
because they're faster on evil lol
and have more health
next game I'm probably locking the hardest difficulty behind finishing the game first lol
The only thing he hasn't complained about at all even once is that blue orb staff.
I think he insulted everything else at some point.
So you can imagine his loving response when he walked into the Forge, the area where it's taken away the longest.
"Dude don't go in there I think that's the hardest area leave it for later."
"No."
dies to spikey ball
"This is genuinely unfair they're 10 times faster than me and their hitbox is too big"
Is he the type that gets creative with his insults when enraged?
Sometimes. Usually it's just calling everything a bad game design flaw.
(he knows nothing of game dev)
Were there any funny ones related to the weapons?
Personally i think the fact that the celestial claw can shoot out earth something is evil and horrible game design
Kuz who's gonna play the game after that?
Only when constantly spamming the purple spaghet and not hitting an enemy
How do you miss with the Aeterunum????
Bad corners
Since it doesn't kill enemies until it lands on a surface
The top of the cake was just raging at how much he had to backtrack when dying, but then ignoring my advice to F5 quicksave because that's "cheating"
Lol
I'm also not a fan of quicksaves, so i sorta get where he's coming from
But still
Like they're not the smoothest thing sure, but like if you're complaining about an issue you're having while having a solution, but you refuse said solution and complain anyway
That's like having a big tree in your garden, wanting it out, but refusing to use the nice chainsaw provided on a nearby bench.
Muda Muda Muda
At least let it be unlockable via cheat or something. FPS people gotta dive right in.
I feel bad for you.
But on the other hand, I'm intrigued.
Is Evil really that much different from Hard?
Seems like I did the right thing by doing Hard first.
According to Leon, BL's Evil difficulty is "CBT mode" due to less mana and more enemies, requiring secret areas to survive
Do enemy numbers change between Medium and Hard?
I genuinely can't tell.
I genuinely don't know this in any deep detail
Doesn't it say beneath the difficulty in the selection level
Evil is more insane in the BL
I had to Nerf some enemies because there were some genuinely impossible parts lol
I can't wait for my good friend to run blindly into Evil as his first BL experience
I'm sure, with the ongoing pattern, that he is going to entertain me for at least a few hours
That being said tho I am debating whether to do BL hard or medium first.
i feel like I can do hard, but I also know I myself haven't played in a while
getting filtered by evil even on first playthru is kinda soy
cept for a few moments in the game
the mindset of "play the game on the hardest diff" should have never been shared with mortal peasants
I usually play stuff on medium/normal first, then I play hard and then the hardest difficulties
I'll probably play BL on hard
or maybe on evil idk
DAYUM
i wont lie since Dusk and Amid Evil ive been enjoying playing games on hard difficulty on the first playthrough. not very hard though because some of them are a joke.
i will go on Evil personally, i want to be tortured by the game's design.
evil is doable, I just found it very challenging when I got to episode 6
if I didn't know about the secrets I would have died a lot more
full hp secret items kept saving me lol
but then I have no idea of where the secrets in BL are so evil will be very painful
i gotta learn how to find secrets on the run. i usually check for them after i kill all the enemies.
doom taught me that its very useful to leave some secrets for later
I kinda learned that with quake
the remaster's nightmare is pure torture so I had to get some secrets like invisibility, invulnerabilty and shit
am i weird for wanting Quake 2 remaster?
Quake 2 is the best quake 2
It is not the best quake
I'd rather have them announce a new quake game but we'll see
tbh I like quake 1's atmosphere and level design more because I'm not really a fun of sci-fi
but I can't deny that quake 2 has some very fun gameplay
Quake 5 best Quake
i wanna hear Sonic Mayhem do industrial metal again.
imagine a remaster of Quake 2's OST
I wanted to play quake 2 rtx but I don't even have an rtx 
ive heard Q2 RTX sucks because it destroys atmosphere and texture look too smooth
I mean yeah, stroggos looks weird with a blue sky but I'm pretty sure you can edit the skybox/atmosphere and play with the normal orange sky
technology sure has upgraded
I'm just easily impressed by rtx stuff so I'd play it anyway
if I had one at least
as a first run??????
why
Leon has done nothing but emphasize how tortorous it is
@night ginkgo lore question: is Voice of the Ancients, like, a separate entity or an amalgamation of how Ancients speak with telepathy?
that's why I'm considering whether I should play on hard or on evil
I feel like I'm up to the challenge but at the same time I'm not a masochist
I would not dare have my first experience be evil on BL
not only are the enemies new, so I don't know what they do
Not only do I not know the maps
not only do I not know the secret locations
but I also don't have the skill
But if you think you can do it, I applaud you
im sorry i played the game so much on Evil difficulty idk how to play on other difficulties
Ok clim I need to ask you for a favor
touch grass?
No.
I need you to like ignore BL's existance for like 5 days so I can finish it first
that way I can comment on your attempts with knowledge
you're asking the impossible. FORGET ABOUT THE ETERNAL CHALLENGE?? i mean, sure you can try to finish it before me, BUT YOU CANNOT STOP ME FROM ENTERING THE BLACK LABYRINTH.
+SOUL MODE ENGAGED+
Alright then, but
I expect a tier ranking from you
from least-CBT to most-CBT level
Actually it does make me wonder, the DLC's like what 11 levels
all of which are like twice the size of a normal level in the base game
im opening my TierMaker the moment i finish DLC
9 levels in main campaign, 1 intro and 1 secret
yeah i wonder what's the secret is about too
So that's about
6-7 normal levels and 2 or 3 bosses?
and an intro and a secret
because a 4 level formula would make an 8 level campaign but if this is 9 then it's either an extra normal or an extra boss
Probably normal
because then it's intro + 3 to boss, then 4 to boss
which equalizes to 4 levels then a boss
i think the final level will be a huge boss arena
Likely, gotta see that legendary guardian
like, there might be 2-3 mini-bosses before but they'll probably take place at the end of their levels.
that'll be new, amid evil doesn't do mini bosses
this man must be the most skilled warrior in ages if nobody could reach the Axe before Champion
Well not that we know of
There might've been dozens of previous champions for other deeds in distant eons past
after all the knowledge that the "axe returns to the labyrinth after the owner dies" has to have been seen and proven
I wonder if the keeper will be using it as a weapon or if the axe is just stashed in the next door sanctum
I keep finishing the base game levels in 20 minutes no matter how much I play this game, imagine how much it'll take me to finish a single BL level 😭
if solar saint health scaled with difficulty it'd be pretty hard to kill like this
guess we'll have to learn to have patience against the bosses
i just wanted to mention that solar saint boss health doesnt scale with difficulty and that if that was fixed, he'd be painful to fight
would still be rather cheesable with soul mode
evil is pretty good
if there's an enemy you already hate you are gonna hate it even more on evil
i like how enemies become faster on Evil. seeing a group of Creepers running towards you at the speed of a racing car is terrifying and forces you to use Axe.
and they survive the first hit
I remember playing on medium and they used to die to 1 hit.........
a good thing is that Axe is relatively fast. i cant imagine how would you survive if it was slow like in early builds of the game.
the axe in the early builds sucked
it was slow and didn't really feel powerful
probably because of the lack of feedback sounds or smth
I felt like I was slowly beating the enemies with a paper axe
speaking of axe it's funny how it's better on most ep7 mobs than the rest of the weapons
those void claw bitches can take 2 planets yet die to one swing
makes sense lore-wise: it hates all that is evil
the wiki says it deals double damage to episode 7 enemies
which it does make sense
i just figured out the absolute winning move in black labyrinth but my shadowplay doesn't want to work for some reason @unique wren
bhop sideways and shoot at the standing enemy whilst making sure to press left whenever you hit the ground because that acts as the forward button
what is that quake mod/level
also fun fact: the vores (new enemy in black labyrinth) can cause the game to crash if there's enough of their projectiles flying around
silly cat

nope it's d2m7
blessed dwellings of the dark
holy fuck
whuh
this is the highest enemy count i've seen yet holy shit
37th relic retrieval was like 800/900
this level shall be reserved for another black labyrinth sesh
i love leon
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHA
Yeah I was waiting for it
Nice start though with the crystals and the stairs
12$
