    arcade mode crash. lost out on first catalyst unlock

    In the past whenever I've identified a crash in arcade, I've always avoided arcade like the plague until I got confirmation that the bug was located and fixed, so... putting the game down until you get that is probably a smart decision. When everything is hammered out we could always try some...

    Filling in those last two Arcade Nightmare slots

    1. Pin-ata. At the start of every floor you will be given four random pins, replacing any pins you might already have equipped. No pins can spawn randomly and the pin merchant room is removed from the pool. The same pins can be applied throughout the run, rather than have a pin pool to be...

    Reverse Golden Essence Exchange In Arcade

    That would require 39,960 blue essence, subtracting what you get from the end of runs, so I'd suggest at that point you let the great-grandkids finally turn off the life support nanobots. Or install a different game. :naniva:

    Reverse Golden Essence Exchange In Arcade

    Sounds like Teddy needs to put together a Golden Hood for people like you. 999 Golden Essence. Do you feel complete? (tbh I wouldn't mind this, give me something to endeavor forever towards)

    A bone thrown to my 1-handed homies.

    I have never seen that documented... anywhere across the history of the game. I thought melee hits were ATK and magic missiles were MATK, but I've never had reason to examine that. It turns out you're right, that magic missiles are significantly weaker than wand hits. And my damage attacking...

    A bone thrown to my 1-handed homies.

    It has come to my attention that there is no actual 'best' purely 1H melee weapon. The best 1H melee is also the best 1H magic, which isn't for purely magic users either, meaning that there is only a best 1H hybrid: The Peg Leg. Crab Claw: +100 attack. Peg Leg: +90 ATK, +75 MATK. (+18 ATK with...

    True Final Boss health potion usage on Hard.

    Because the developers had two ways to design the final boss. With factoring in the many various types of simple, repeatable damage mitigation and healing, or without. They could balance the Hard Mode version of the fight around the understanding that most people will be relying on Barrier and...

    True Final Boss health potion usage on Hard.

    I wrote this up about a week ago elsewhere, but given the sheer number of people struggling I feel I ought to at least post it publicly as well. I'm not saying the fight should be made easier, only that it might be more enjoyable with an additional skill-based mechanic added into it: So, I...

    Question regarding zhamla story (spoilers)

    His sister already moved on when you defeated her. If it's closure on Zhamla you're wanting, I can suggest beating Arcade Mode with three stones in your statue.

    [Gameplay] Arcade softlock, floor 4 exit doesn't spawn after killing boss

    Enough people have had this complaint of being softlocked despite the ledge being there (in the bottom left) that Teddy really needs to pop up a magnifying glass icon there after like 5 seconds, if not immediately. It seems a number of people are going into arcade without having done story mode...

    Fishtank furniture.

    I've long wished that the majority of content unique to arcade was ported to story mode. Arcade is the niche mode you play when you're done with story, maybe. Most people will never get to experience it, so the content that exists there will never be seen by them. I'd love to see Master Ji...

    A bone thrown to my 1-handed homies.

    I haven't bothered to play 1H melee in forever. Shadowclone ain't my style. But I have heard a few people express some disappointment, which brought me to making this image the other day for a laugh. Looking at it, though, it makes me realize they really have a point. The best 1H melee weapon...

    Local coop shared screen

    You could download the demo and try out the local co-op trick from the developer on it, see if it's suitable for you. http://secretsofgrindea.com/forum/index.php?threads/local-co-op-on-2-computers.913/#post-5260 Before trying that, you can also take a look at this reddit thread on how to local...

    The consequences of crashing in Arcade Mode

    If your game is crashing that consistently, can you post your Game Deaded crash reports here? It seems like that's something to look at. But yeah, I think it is set up that way to prevent easy cheesing. Also because arcade has a leaderboard system in place, but if a quicksave system did exist...

    Rare Merchant in Arcadia Town

    Since the dawn of arcade it has been a problem that you're not able to get cosmetic hats, furniture or other items exclusive to Story Mode. Most of the furniture options cut off at Mt. Bloom due to the fact that the housing in arcade hasn't been updated since Arcade Mode was finished, but I'm...
