Salt and Sanctuary |OT| Salt for the Soul
- Thread starter dancrane212
- Start date
On the final boss now which seems like such a significant step up in difficulty compared to the last 8 or 9 bosses leading up to this point. Don't even remember what they look like. I feel like if they just cut the number of bosses down and really put focus on creating a few that had varied attacks, transformed mid battle etc then it would have been better.
But for all things considered, I'm hugely impressed with the game, what a lovely little surprise it was and I can see it being one of my favourite games this year.

I would expect so, but the PSN page does not mention the Vita version or cross-buy at all. Maybe worth asking the devs on Twitter @skastudios?

Yes, PS4/Vita. It's just not cross-save.

Yeah, the EU version is still stuck at version 1.01
Bugger. There goes my chance to finish it before Dark Souls III turns up tomorrow.

Does that mean that Dragonfire is still absurdly overpowered for we EU customers?!

A questions regarding Sanctuary defiling- If I seek forgiveness with the Candlelit Lady, would the Sanctuary stop being hostile? And if not, could I use the crystal sphere before the Guardians show up?
I'm also torn between committing to the Three, or the House of Splendor, or to the Iron Ones. Starting to lend towards the House of Splendor because you get to buy Diamond Clusters and Amber Idols from them, but not to hot about their poisonous healing... Any suggestion for a non-magic character?

Just an FYI - my AU version of the game just downloaded the 1.02 update.

Yep.
Isn't it the "broken" update?
dreamstation
Member
Not sure? Wasn't aware that there was a broken update. It contains the same list of fixes linked above minus the second line about the incantation visual error. You may be right though as it specifially mentions 1.02 in that particular fix.

Probably should also ask- When does magic start to get overpowered? Cause even at the TreeofMen/Inquisitor/Lamb bosses it's still more efficient to smack them with my Black Widow than my Fireball.

URGH, I made a bunch of very bad decisions.
I didn't read carefully about the number of gray pearls spent would be proportional to the number of black pearls used, that one is on me.
But HOLY SHIT is the run back to the pirate boss insane! Flying enemies hounding you is one thing but the Angsty Skeletons are complete fucking assholes! One of them teleported in front of me as I was about to make a jump and knocked me to my death- lost 20k salt.
The boss himself was a nightmare to fight with his pistol. I was staying out of his rain of fire move to shoot him, but that means every time he aims at me I was too far away to roll through him... Still manage to outgun him.
Running out of bullets now...

Why are you using Fireball when you should have spells like Lightning Barrage that melts everything?
Chaos2Frozen

Question, does "Extra Blunt" means it does Strike damage as well? Cause I'm running to areas that are more Slash resistant enemies and I'm running out of bullets...
But it was weak to fire so I thought... @_@

I need to get back to this, finish my second playthrough and hopefully get the Platty at some point. It will probably have to wait about 4 or six weeks until I'm done with Alienation, Uncharted 4 and another couple of games from my backlog first though. So far it's still my favourite game of the year.

No idea, but you could ask the devs on twitter. They're very friendly.

They should release it before the inevitable DS3 first DLC comes out.
That's set for fall. I think they're in a very comfortable place there.

Hope you PC guys enjoy it. Brilliant game and I'm sure it will find a strong audience on the platform.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Too late to stop people from buying this turd?
- Terrible art direction (subjective)
- Terrible music, the electric guitar that sometimes plays in the background is abysmal (subjective)
- Combat; rolling in particular is unresponsive
- Boss battles become horrible after the first few
- Ridiculously imbalanced gameplay, going from super fucking easy to super fucking hard with artificial difficulty
Game just sucks massive ass. Don't buy it.

Didn't have a problem with any of this. Game isn't hard at all, SL1 was braindead compared to a legit souls title. Every single build can trivialize every encounter. The only difficult bosses at all are Witch and Unskinned, and that's because they can just RNG you into impossible-to-dodge situations. The rest have really simple patterns, even the last boss.

Seriously, this game is pretty good. I enjoyed my time with it.

I recall you being mad at the devs over some nonsense, Yoshi not like this and I like you.
To everyone the game is awesome currently in my top 3 best games of 2016 so far.
if only this was a Blizzard game ;_;
Steam refunds.
And many of us really dug this game. Still worth a look, better than Lords of the Fallen anyway.
Yoshi, I usually agree with your video game tastes but in my opinion you couldn't be any further from the truth here.

Everything about this is 100% wrong.
Salt and Sanctuary is quite possibly the best indie game I've ever played and I'm happy PC users can finally experience it soon.

Glad for more people getting to play this!

That's a pretty sincere recommendation.
What, specifically, vaults it into that upper echelon for you?
They've got a bunch of forum threads stickied and whatnot and on twitter implied it's coming very soon. I wouldn't doubt if the game had a 2 month exclusive period and see it launch around the 15th.
From early betas and streams we know the PC version had to have been pretty close to ready to go from the start.
