I'm in the middle of a battle mage run. I make silly mistakes though. So many times I've died and realised I had a full waterskin. Hopefully this time I'll manage it. I'm just a poor strategist.

I've been playing this game for so many years, it took me a while to win my first game, but after that the wins started trickling in, I mean, it's still hard, but start having a better sense of what to do to have a decent run.

Stuff like using doors or tall grass to make sure you hit an enemy, funneling then through narrow corridors, using pile of bones to know of an equipment is cursed or not. With time all these things add up and you notice your doing them automatically.

Keep at it, you'll eventually get that win, mage is probably the best one to get that first win

Yeah things like that have certainly been helping me out. I've never heard of the pile of bones trick to see if something's cursed, how does that work?

[–] showmewhatyougot@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It could be different now but for some time I used to throw an unidentified weapon or armor into the pile of bones, then pick up the pile of bones. If the weapon was cursed a specter would come out, if it wasn't then nothing would come out, I think even the equipment would get the blue background meaning it was "clean"

But I don't play as often as before now so that could have changed

Interesting, I'll try that out next time I come across one.

I'm playing Shattered on Android, I'm not sure how it's different, but this game is hard man. One day we'll beat it lol

Shattered is what I'm on too, the other week actually reached the final boss, I didn't win but I'm classing it as one.

Yeah I've been playing this game on and off for the past couple years and this is the first time I've ever beaten it. You'll get it I'm sure :)

Fingers crossed for ya, I've done the same thing so many times.

Getting to floor 0 on a return run is much harder than what it was before (although it was made slightly easier in the past two patches), congrats!

Thanks, the chains where what got me up I reckon, I was able to skip through a bunch of walls to escape some tight situations.
