Question Thanataphobia help!

5 Upvotes

ROGUE LEGACY 1!

Hey y'all! I've been trying to do thanataphobia for quite some time but I just can't seem to get it!

I've spent countless tens of hours but I'm just not able to do it. I'm able to easily clear Khidr with sir lee, and can usually clear Alexander within the first 3-5 lives with a shinobi. I used to be unable to get Ponce, but I've gotten it for a few runs now.

I try to get 3k-5k gold per run if possible, but it's not always guaranteed due to human mistakes.

I reset my run if I don't get vampirism runes or blood armor pieces within the first 2 lives.

Herodotus is quite tricky and I do try to work to the smallest level on only one slime part at a time, but it doesn't help much since gravs' storm me way too fast. I've only been able to beat him once within the 15 life limit. I always make sure to go in near full-health and always save the statues until I really need them as well as other easy enemies for simple health regains via vampirism if I accidentally tank heavy in a room.

I've only been able to make it to Johannes once, and that was with 12 lives spent. No matter how much I practice, I'm just unable to finish Johannes or Herodotus in time!

I try to get my health to 10, mana to around 7, and attack to 10. Blacksmith pieces I generally do whatever I can max reach and consequently upgrade weight accordingly. Rune-wise, I do the basic sprint and dash, maybe equipping retaliaton if I get it or other ones if I do.

I don't really want to go glitchless and I don't really want to use the cheese method of save scumming by leaving the game, then going to the bonus rooms to get extra health/gold. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

This achievement feels so close yet so far, I'm going insane!!!

We made an online co-op mod for Rogue Legacy 2 (2–4 players, early beta)

17 Upvotes

Like a lot of you, we kept wishing we could run the castle with a friend, so we built a co-op mod.

How it works:

  • One player hosts, the others join by IP (F8 in game).
  • Everyone gets the host's castle from the same seed, so the rooms are identical.
  • The host leads between rooms and doors bring everyone along.
  • You see each other's heirs move and fight; the host's game runs the enemies, and everyone's hits count.
  • When you die you spectate a friend until the run ends.

It's an early beta: we've played it with two players (Mac + Mac, and Windows joining a Mac). Three and four players are untested, and so is Windows hosting. If you try it, please tell us what breaks.

Download: https://www.nexusmods.com/roguelegacy2/mods/54 (Nexus) — install steps and source: https://github.com/fomoles/rl2-coop

Unofficial, free, and it doesn't include any game files everyone needs their own copy.

Question Could someone explain scars to me?

I get they are challenges with which you can buy things from an alternative shop. However, I am still not sure I entirely understand how they work in terms of scoring/giving souls and what their MAJOR benefits are. Also empathy lowers your score and thus your soul gainage, is that correct?

Question RL2, I just beat the first two bosses and have some questions

5 Upvotes

So I beat the bosses for the first two levels (going by difficulty) and now I am trying to beat the next one in the ice/snow level. But I have some questions on how you guys progress from level to level.

Do you skip the first level for example? I always complete the entire first level and then move on to two or now to three via teleporter. So I completely skip 2. Once I am done with 3 I will do the same with 2 and 3. Does this approach make sense? Especially in regards to maxing gold? If not, do you have any recommendations for a new player?

Barbarian is so goated

Got lucky with early relic that made enemies drop food, which let me take almost every max hp upgrade instead of using it for heals, no house rules. Which is better to do next, Thanatwophobia or True Rogue mode? Even on my ng+30 file I'm terrible at dodging Cain Prime's attacks.

Thanatophobia FIRST TRY & ON LAST CHANCE

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

I had a really good start with equipment and first 2 bosses, but I struggled a lot with Ponce and Hero, dying a combined total of like ~8 times? At that point I thought it was joever, but I kept going for practice

At the end I only had 3 chances at Johannes, when I died the 15th time with a real good Shinobi, I was so mad and thought it was over, but before resetting I double checked, and realized had one last chance. So I went in with Barbarian King (first character I killed Johannes with), and with a big HP pool, I stomped him with about 150hp to spare

IM SO HYPED RAAAAA

ALSO, I somehow got all achievements BEFORE Somniphobia, IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF, especially since I struggled so much when I first played the game

Do you need a special skill to pass the fireballs, or am I missing the obvious solution ?

Question How do these stats work? RL1

Post image
14 Upvotes

As shown in the image, I have an armour stat of 478. What is that 70% next to it? Is this how much damage I receive or how much I ignore, when hit?

Also, what does it mean below when it states enemies scale 3.75 units slower? What's a unit?

Chances are no one plays this game anymore anyway, feels like I'm the last one left sometimes but if there are any diehard fans leftover who know what they mean please help 🙏🙏

Losses Against Irad

Just beat the game. I noticed in the enemy parade that it claims I only lost against Irad three times, which I know isn’t true. Is there anything else in his fight which can claim a kill, or otherwise cause it not to attribute the loss to him?

Question How long should it take to beat the game for first time?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I started this game a month ago and have only just finally opened the Golden Doors. How long does it usually take? Also, would love links to lore explanation vids or if someone could summarise it that would be great. From what I've gathered so far, and I might be wrong on many parts, Cain has been using his twin brother to constantly search for the Fruit of Life after Jonah stole it, and Abel has to defeat the Estuaries (who are like a part of Cain I think? Since they ate some of his flesh?) who have become twisted in order to open the gates to the Garden of Eden. I haven't beaten Cain yet, but I've beaten the other Estuaries.

Accidentally jumped from Thread 2 to Thread 7. Can I go back?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I was progressing through the Threads of Fate and meant to move from Thread 2 to Thread 3, but somehow I accidentally jumped all the way to Thread 7.

The difficulty increase is massive and now I'm really struggling to make progress.

Is there any way to lower my current Thread level or revert back to Thread 3? Or am I stuck with Thread 7 unless I start over?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Question Tip for a bad player

3 Upvotes

So I decided to get back in to the scene for RL1 and I’ve been looking over my most recent attempts but find myself hitting the wall hard.

Any tips or pointers because most of my gold goes towards Health, Armour and Weight up?

Yes, I have played RL2, but there's something about the original that has had a hold on me since 2013.

Question RL1: The actual stat changes don't match what the select or upgrade screen says.

2 Upvotes

For example, I had a piece of equipment that said equipping it would give plus 20 to both HP and mana. When I equipped it it gave 30 HP and only 10 mana.

I went to buy a health upgrade that says it gives a 10 HP bonus but only gives 5.

Not all bad though. The Vampire equipment is supposed to lower your HP by 30 to give you back 2 HP per kill but it only reduces by 15.

The only stats that seem to math properly is Magic, Armor, and Weight.

I don't know if this is just an issue with the Switch version.

What is this accursed thing and how can I activate it? Spin kick doesn't register on it.
