Oh you are doing nightmare on pc? add me on steam later *or I can add you*

Trying to finish apocalypse on the pc version. Anyone else on steam I can add?

 

[Gbraga]

It's far from impossible I already know the build Im going to need for it and the stone feeding structure. It's just gonna take 2 playthroughs of stat and bonus skill points though.

2 nightmare runs? That doesn't sound that far from impossible lol

I have the ability to mic myself up for it... but I moved a year ago and haven't unpacked all my stuff. Probably be way more interesting if I was talking, though haha.

About to head home. Going to finish up my pseudo-speedrun on PC so I can unlock NM mode. Then... it's time... for NIGHTMAAAAAARE!

It would be so much more awesome with your commentary!

By the way, I know I'm being a pain in the ass about it, but is the combat video still coming out or THQ won't release it since the game is already out?

Good gosh.

Just opened up the first

Death Tomb

Talk about a loot pinata!

Wonder if I should save the chests for later when I'm more leveled....

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Nightmare mode should be a cakewalk with Health on Hit, Health on Critical, Critical Chance and Critical Damage. And with Teleport Slash giving you health each time, it's gonna be pretty damn impossible to even die.

Not impossible but difficult and a test of patience especially with all the bugs running around.

I still have yet to see this stat aside from being a part of the special abilities on unique weapons. Does it become available on NG+?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

All this talk of Nightmare mode makes me feel lame for struggling through normal. =P

 

[neoism]

Yeah this game definitely has its ups and downs... Love Worlds 2 a lot more. Awesome first dungeon and booses like that a better than those stupid huge mofos... 17 hours played... I think I my just go through the game and not do any side stuff since it doesn't carry over and just play apoc on my second play through and try for 100%... I will definitely have like 100 hours when I do lol. I reallly hope they patch it before I'm get there the second time....

 

[Dahbomb]

Its available on Apoc at least, I had one weapon with it. I also think the Angel of Death has this scythe. Its certainly a rare stat to come across.

But you start from scratch in Nightmare mode.

Psh nah Im going necro build. I have plus 700 armor for 12 seconds :lol Crows heal a fuck ton of hp each hit, and ghouls are expoding for fuck tons of damage. Fuck taking risk

 

[BY2K]

Health on crit isn't so bad if your crit chance is high enough.

EDIT: NG+ doesn't work with Nightmare Mode.

Health on crit with claws with at least 30% crit rate = immortal

Edit: Eh you are saying that if I play nightmare mode I cant do a second play through on nightmare? That doesn't sound right at all.

 

[BY2K]

God I hope you can sacrifice legendary weapons to level up Possessed Weapons.

Those Chaos Fang are gonna give a heck of a crit bonus!

Also, Death will appear in the next episode of Metalocalyspe.

 

[Euphor!a]

Anyone have any tips for the

Spoiler

Samael

fight? I can do the first and part of the second phase without taking even a point a of damage, but as soon as he starts laying down those fire traps all over the screen I die almost instantly.

 

[Dahbomb]

The theory craft/fight in this thread is amazing.

 

[neoism]

Understandable! Since I already promised the 3 to twitter... I'll see if I can get a few more keys just for NeoGAF!

tragic you know the deal with amazon pre-orders... will I get a tomb key when they are available..... because I didn't get one...... just got the deadly weapons dlc or whatever it was called.

Just uploaded my video fighting one of the side quest optional bosses

Spoiler

the deposed king.

Nothing special, just wanted to test msi afterburner video capture features really.
It works really good. Awesome freeware.

 

[gabbre]

Depending on what kind of system you have, the game can run amazingly well. Using the fix I posted on page 90 I am currently running at an unhindered 60fps with no tearing or stutter. This also fixes the loading between menus. Looks glorious on the living room plasma.

Thanks!

I was gonna go Harbringer because melee is always more fun than spellcasting for me but you're making me doubt my decision.

so much screen tearing

so whats the fastest time...?

 

[Dahbomb]

I don't see why you can't make a hybrid build. I am thinking of respecing myself in the near future and taking up some Necro skills.

 

[CambriaRising]

I have a mixed build right now, the only necro skill I have been focusing on has been the undead summoning.


Let me tell you, this is a MUST later on. They distract big enemies like crazy allowing you to hit them from behind for massive damage.

I found them to be pretty weak, even when upgraded. Usually getting one shot by the enemies that I most need to use them on.

 

[Dahbomb]

I am thinking that skill and the aegis shield... but Aegis Shield is only useful if you get hit which isn't something that should be happening to you if you are good.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Have you guys seen the baseball swing from the Mace? It's do satisfying pulling it off on groups on enemies, especially if you dodge-evade into it. They go flying across the screen - it's funny sometimes.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Thanks for the video!

I think it will help!

False, it buffs your arcane stat and has a proximity damage effect to it. It's stupidly good if you are going pure necro. The ghoul explosion scales really really well with Arcane.

Hybrid sorta works. But you lose out on some bonuses from stones you could have used for other things

M+M+M = Arcane +5
M+M+P = Arcane Critical Chance +2%
M+M+R = Arcane Critical Damage +10%

P+P+P = Strength +5
P+P+M = Critical Chance +2%
P+P+R = Critical Damage +10%

R+R+R = Resistance +20
R+R+M = Wrath +20
R+R+P = Defense +20

M+R+P = Health +30

As pure necro I'm going plus 5 arcane and 10% crit for my build

Interesting....

How do you lose out on stone bonuses?

About to finish up pseudo-speedrun. Then I'll hook up the mic and start NIGHTMARE!

[QisTopTier]

Interesting....

How do you lose out on stone bonuses?

You only get so many you can feed the guy per play through 25 mystic 25 physical 10 resistance and you can only feed him all these a total of 2 times.

But if you want to do a solid hybrid type build you gotta kinda mix and match and keep a balanced growth . If you have a pure build you can go all out with what boost you the highest.

Well that's only if you are mim/maxing like crazy haha.

For hybrid I would stack both of the crit bonus damage boost. 5 each. This leaves you with 15 for both letting you boost your str and arcane up by 25 or crit chance by 10%

actually... that sounds like the best period XD FUCK IT

Can you post when you start nightmare? Want to avoid late game spoilers in your easy run.

Anyone know how to do the move where Death throws his scythe forward at the enemy? Not the forward dash + attack version, but when he is standing still and launches it at enemies. I'm level 20, and didn't know this move existed until I saw a video lol.

Anyone know the locations of the first 10 pages for the book Vulgrim is looking for? I got 5/10. Are they all in the Forge Lands?

Yeah they are. There are videos on youtube of all the page locations. I used one to find the last one in forgelands as I didnt want to run in circles for 50 years.

If you don't have a ton of wrath regen or what ever dont use any other skills besides them get as many hits in as you can before they pop and resummon another batch

They are squishy but they take the attention off you long enough to get some good hits in.
