the pulse mech i find so fun to use on long runs just shielding everything. now, you dont kill things so it can get out of hands pretty quicly but its good fun

9:54 if you're pressed for time. Thanks for the overview!

"gravity is your friend" those runs where i rammed into spikes while cursed: 🗿

What about the damage any %? Is the damage you'll be receiving?

I turned on god mode after dying like 20 times and I’m 52% resistant now 😂

thank you so much! this is my first dungeon crawling type game and even though I'm having fun, i suck lol 😂

You should upload at lower resolutions. I still can see some pixels.

was the 20-second intro of you just glazing yourself really necessary

Too bad, i still suck. i havnet beating a single game with the single squad .grrr!!

Sometimes I like making a Call build So we get Zeus and Poseidon for faster Call recharge And either Artemis or Aphrodite’s call to burst the opponents with 2500 dmg Or a Pure Cold build, which is basically: stack as much Chill as fast as possible and detonate it with that one Demeter boon

I would add another tip for Skelly - stay close to the walls. It's safer, especially in Asphodel, and you can smash your enemies into walls and kill much quicker.

Stop mashing buttons? Pff my first win was with the shield randomly bouncing on everyone xD

Have you played deepwoken? It's an amazing rogue like

Git gud

I feel called out lol, I run styrgius and special attack, then dash attack a bunch of times, rinse and repeat. I use athena dash and then ares/dionysius attack/special for maximum damage on the styrgius buff. So i be mashing the dash and attack like crazy

Great video, most helpful one i've found so far for a beginner!

All I've done is mash attack and dash.

This is an easy one: Check enemy ranges before you deploy. Adjust your spawn drops to accommodate, and get your mechs where they need to be right away. Knowing what the vek are going to do lets you prepare and put yourself in advantageous positions before the battle even begins.

I quit the game after getting stuck at that double boss in Elysium. Maybe roguelikes are not my genre. I get bored after 2-3 deaths and don't wanna replay the same enemies over and over again. Might give it another go now

Never doubt supergiant! Ever!

Hard pass

Why are we trynna put some fancy spin on the word promonade, it's literally pronounced as spelled 🤦‍♂️ (praa muh nayd) do you even play this game?

i hate the nutcracker. so slow

I find shield hard to use when there are numerous enemies. I get hit so much. There is rarely one at a time.

Yooo game of the year and the next and the next and the next and the

Thanks mate I only died once following your guide and after only starting the game a couple of hours ago I now have all runes except for the last for completing a run which I will get eventually. 👍🙂

I need to unsuck

Thank you so much for this video. It is the most clear explanation I've found. Really helped me out.

I'm gonna make an arcade cabinet for this. A game this good deserves it's own cabinet.

I LOVE THIS GAME

I just did a whoooole run using Gilgamesh's Gauntlets (Poseidon's Special) and Zeus' dash ONLY and it was... good, actually! Efficiency aside, specialized builds are fuuuuun

Great gameplay, great tutor

When you were fighting the Thumblebug Leader I was basically screaming at the screen for you to kill the bouncer with the Drill Mech to crack some tiles and yeet the boss into a hole. It was so perfectly lined up for it too

This video is very helpful thx

Thanks for the great vdo's. One thing that would be most helpful for those of us on 1BC would be to understand the terminology of the mutations and weapons, so we can better select the proper mutuation with the proper weapon...I'll provide areas were our group of friends don't quite understand: a. Ice Grenade says 6 sec...does that mean the bomb is active for a full 6 seconds?. It states " -6% damage received " - does that mean while the bomb is active, if we were to receive damage, we would get a decrease in damage by 6%? Biters crawl from the dead - what does this mean? and how does that help us? Upon thawing, the enemy suffers from bleeding - does that me enemies get additional damage ? b. Killer Instinct Mutation - says "Melee kills reduce skill cooldowns by .51 secs. Does that mean if out secondary weapon, say traps takes 10 seconds to recharge, now only takes 9.5 seconds? ... Also, does consecutive melee kills compound the x .51 secs? c. Tranquility - +26 damage if there are no enemies near you. Does this mean any ranged attack , where your enemy is further than say a melee weapon/attach distance, or does the amount of distance need to be greater than that??? Also, does the +26 damage apply to any type of other ranged weapon/non purple weapon? d. counterattack - the attack following a successful parry inflicits +850 damage. Will that apply to any other colored weapon included ranged weapons or 2ndary weapons? What happens if using a weapon and we miss on the first shot or strike?...will we get the +850 extra damage on the 2nd shot/but first connected shot or swing??? e. what does a "red skull x2" mean for a weapon? What does +100% damage taken...mean? f. stunned target - what constitues a stunned target? what would/weapons cause an enemy to be stunned? g. Dodging plants a bomb - would jumping constitute a dodge? or only a slide/roll?? h. if your character has a : red skull x2 above their head...what does that mean? i. Cannot be interruted by an enemys attack - please clarify and give examples to better understand j. Heavy Crossbow - please explain this weapon. It seems that we get the bow and reloader together. But, even without hitting the reload button.......it seems that the bow, every other shot seems to do larger damange (say a critical hit)?....is that correct? If we don't need to reload, but lets say we have a moment so we hit the reload button anyways...will the next shot automatically give us larger damage because we just hit the reload button? k. buring oil vs. cover the ground with inflammable oil? - please explain the difference. does one do damnage and the other is a potential set-up to do damage? L. Seems that the mutations selected - line up visually in each of the script options " brutality, tactics, survival"... but is it fair to say that the mutations will help any of the 3 colors...so a red melee weapon could actually benefit for a purple tactics upgrade/script ??? M. what does a white " 1skull " mean above our character ?

I just bought the game yesterday and I'm "in training " I'm a newb for sure.. after getting my ass kicked over and over ive stumbled across this amazing guide..I need to get runes and perm upgrades before I keep playing.. thank you soooo fkin much!!!

Imma sub this guy his content is cool

Bro thank you so much for giving a full tips no cut

Bro thank you so much for giving a full tips no cut

Why not just set player damage/enemy health to 20%? Voila, you are a god!!

I've been trying to figure out the difference between chambers and encounters

You could work on your skill at the game, OR you could pray to the old gods and new that you get a cluster rocket run

Does the "stick to one colour" also apply to Mutations? Eg. I get Armadillopack pretty much every run, because even if it doesn't scale, just blocking everything when you roll is always useful, and (cherry on the top) freeing up a hand in the process. Right now I'm mostly playing freeze/pin tactics builds with Armadillopack + Crow's Foot + Frostbite, which makes for mutations which are all of a different colour. ...but so far so luck against HotK (though I got real close sometimes). Anything wrong with that?

I really think the time doors should just not be available at all when you are playing with no BSC.

Does the assault shield thing still works until now? Just asking cus I still didn't find the blueprint yet

OMFG! The yellow exclamation mark for the perfect parry! My mind is just blown after reading that! Gonna try!

as a new player i just speedrunning the first stage under 2 minutes,the room gave you 20 cells and that's really helpful for unlocking the things.

Really good guide. Very indepth and clearly explained. Gives me a much better understanding of the boons now. Thanks.

I beat the game on my first run was boring

Thing is, in the examples you're not using the starting mechs. What I think makes ITB so very very very daunting and complex is the sheer number of upgrades you can buy, the number of different mech squads you can unlock, and the fact that you can combine any of them together in any combination. I have no idea what to combine, no idea whether some combo will be totally useless or not, etc. And it seems like that's pretty important, like if you have a good set of mechs the game will be way easier than if you have a bad one. But you just need to know what's good. Good luck with that unless you're a veteran of the game.
