this makes me feel a lot better about how often the trap rooms wrecked me even after I'd been playing for awhile

Do I wanna throw 100's of thousands of gold at gambling for blueprints if I havent attempted ng+1 yet? Ive been farming ng+0 with great success and stacking damage and safety through blood rites. But am I rushing through ng1-3 and getting titles and slow blueprints, or gambling now? Gambling later?

Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 demo is live! Hope you come back bro!

Great recommendations bro! I will look at my setup and see if there is anything I missed. Me and my bros still play!

Can you get these on ng+0? Or needs to be atleast. Certain ng?

Is ranger the best end game character to push? I’m assuming paladin for farming is best?

Playing this game in 2024 on Xbox, never encountered a forge?

What's the name of the song at about 34:40 minutes in?

Hey brother, hope you're well. Definitely miss you playing this and progressing higher and higher. You were the inspiration for me to stick with this game solo and grind out the painful early game to get to a point where it's mega fun. Cheers man.

For what ever reason my lowest resolution (despite using a 4k monitor) is like 1400x900, no 1360x768. Using linux (and the steam copy of the game)....

How do you get the coins that allow you to buy the ninja imp skin etc.

Greetings, please tell me (or someone in the chat) if I opened NG2 as a hero and further and with other characters, I can immediately start with NG2, will I not lose bonuses and stats for past NGs? Or then all the bonuses will be given at once for everything

Thanks this is very helpful

Is this still good?

hey where u been

Hey, thanks for the vids. I have a fountain question that either I missed in the video or isn't covered. What does the amount thrown into the fountain affect? I believe I've read that it may increase the gold/xp reward for negative favor, but I'm so poor right now I can't really tell if it's working because the amount I've paid in is very low. Also, the answers in a web search seem very sparse and questionable.

8 of each keys really? Idk if I've ever seen 8 gold chests

I don't see these graphics options in my game

Does Wylmir work with enchanted slammer drink? (+10 Physical damage on Primary Attack, Primary attack costs 2.5% of your current mana.) Since it makes your primary cost mana. I know the wording in the game is a bit off sometimes like sorcerer for instance, the freeze passive says skills but your primary can also freeze. So i was curious if this functions. I dont have the Pyramid DLC so i cant test it myself.

Been testing this and it seems theyve removed the imps ability to send money to town? ive been trying to get the send to town reward for about an hour and have yet to get it... Of course after i delete the saves to try a less efficient but better than normal farming method i get the "send to town" option... I guess its just EXTREMELY rare.

As someone with only around 50 hours in HoH but really enjoying it. This was pretty cool to watch. Im aware this was 3 years ago but just on the off chance someone who can answer sees this. How do you have so much mana regen? I know sorcerer title bonus gives mana regen but i feel like it wouldnt be nearly enough to get the sheer amount you have in this video. especially as a paladin who afaik has pretty low base and scaling regen. Anyway, thanks for the video! and whomever may potentially be able to answer my question.

Great guides man, love this game. The Hammerwatch series is so criminally underrated its nuts.

I just got into this game recently and these guides are very helpful, thanks!

Thanks for the video👍

Been running a burning cloak caustic touch priest, makes ozreth daran really good since they apply for free. Playing around ng4 currently and it’s been a blast.

You can't zoom out the camera to see the imps on the PS4 version, so I'll have to stick with the NG0 farming idea. Thanks for the info!

Have only really played a lot with the sorc, but recebtly have been messing around with wizard. Seems like the burn one is maybe like B tier for anyone who is not wizard because you need item help, and S tier for wizard because its just an "always on buff"?

Someone PLEASE explain how to get this to work in the Switch downloaded version of the game. I see no "profiles" button. If this is unable to work on the Switch then what's the fastest way to get ore/gold? I've just been doing the Arena over and over again which is getting quite tedious but there's no faster way unfortunately.

so i know this video is fairly old but how did you get it to look more HD?? mine is still 32bit looking :P

How do you get the "Profiles" button to appear in the first place? I only have four buttons at the bottom, one for playing solo, another for internet play, another for switch to switch play, and another for options.

The Warlock is for me the "best" or easiest class to play. I would give them a S+ rank 😄

Now because Witch Hunter is on the lowest tier, I will now main him

Starting the vid I was like "Damn, this is kinda scummy..." Now that I realized that I have 115.3 hrs logged and I've rationalized everything... Y'know what? Why tf not? I already used mods for extra classes and to send ore to host to essentially double my ore gain with friends. We ball!

1:20 Item Stats

how to + your items?

how in the hell are you zoomed out so much

I really hate the forge takes way to long and the random one shots are annoying all that work for you to lose it all. I want the forge to go max 50 waves with random select. Of course they would need to tweak numbers but I don't like getting one shot randomly having to use OP runes to live.

Man, I'm a lvl 25 sorcerer and I just get SMOKED on NGP++. The first was a breeze but I can't get past the vampire boss on rank NGP++. I managed to once by luck but I got demolished by the trash mobs on the castle walls. I am at a loss!

I know I am late to the party but I enjoy the fire route 40% crit chance on burning targets is juicey.

I am late to the party but how do you level your weapon so fast? Max lvl by 40 is freaking fast.

no gameplay showcases makes the video kinda pointless for a new player imo

This vid should of got more likes, 2 thumbs up from me and Ty in 2023 😊

I really like the clone,max main hand hp build It's actually viable on endgame max difficulty Just don't pursue double arcane shot and Invest all hp and dex for haste aura

How does your primary hit all the way around you? Mine just hits in front of me in the shape of a trident.. was there a rework?

I can't say I found any of your guides useful besides general outlines of what endgame demented prerequisites are, but after a lot of trial and error and pain on Warlock, which was my first character, I can safely say - this is the worst guide. It's so bad that it's downright detrimental to beginner warlocks or otherwise those who don't understand the class. The only right idea in this guide, which is barely mentioned, is going Dagger>Cleaver>ExtendedDomain. That's indeed a priority. However, if anyone wants to clear NG0 reliably with warlock - do NOT, I repeat, do NOT pick Stormlash. It is GARBAGE that does literally nothing for your damage. At pure numbers the first level is a 25% increase at 25% chance. Simple math - it's around 6% of effective damage increase and it only works on your lightning based skills which are NOT how you start with warlock. Do not even think about gargoyles, gargoyle chains and eye of the storm - you do NOT have the resources for that. No, your only priority is Dagger>Cleaver>Domain. With Dagger to max, Cleaver at least lvl1(mandatory), then 3 levels of Domain, then Cleaver\Domain until max. You can put one point into Eye of the Storm, ONE - just to burn some extra mana, but For Blessings go Path of the Warrior, you do NOT need 15% DR for NG0 or even NG1. T2 - yes, Blessing of Mana, because it's the only sensible option, armor esist penetrations are mediocre and by the time they are necessary - you cover that with attuned items. T3 - Symbol of Force. For items you want to get any proc or any base damage increase(Frostbrand\Judgement, at least Claymore), or at least Sword of Kings. As far as attuning goes - Markham Purse, Lucky Coin, Slippery Cloak, Pot Helm - just the cream of the crop of stat values of white items. For beer - your single mandatory beer is Enchanted Slammer. That's a straight up free 50% damage increase for your LMB *before* any scaling. And I say free, because you can regen 5-10% mana per hit, and even if you are breaking boxes or hitting air - Blessing of Mana helps. Smelly Old Man is also a good free bit of regen. The Groovy Ghost is a bit of a tradeoff, but you should aim for 20-30% dodge and it's a good way to have something to start with. Miner's Delight is a general must for beginners who aren't running No-Excavator runs with Tax Evasion and\or attuned Papers of Nobility. And A Fool's Errand can balance it off, because you don't really need health regen, since it's unlikely that you are running Dry Springs o re-pot. In other words - you should aim for attack power based build. With just about 50+ attack power from upgrades and items, 15%+ crit and some gear - you can easily clear NG0 by just walking next to stuff as it evaporates. And on NG0 the bosses are too thin to worry about damage, you'll crit for 500-1000 per tick\hit even with these basic things. This is all with a single button held. And with Divine Hammer, maxed BS, better beers and at least lvl1 statues - the same approach DOES work at least for NG2, and that's technically game over as far as anyone's concerned. Yes, to go further into degenerate levels of NG - you do need to go skill-based, that is correct, but by then you'll have T8 sorc, a lot of investment into pay2win statues - you'll have the resources to maintain mana. But trying to clear NG0 or NG1 with a skill-based warlock is not something I'd wish upon newcomers. Just a few extra notes on Stormlash\Cleaver. The beauty of LMB\AP build is that Cleaver works with Extended Domain, effectively turning your LMB into a fairly large AoE and potentially extending it. I initially thought that lvl1 Cleaver is just OP and the rest is pointless(and that is more or less correct, Domain is more valuable), but there is beauty in evaporating hordes of enemies not by chaining nonsense or by draining your mana on shitty RMB, but by simply circling enemies as usual and just managing it with one button. As for Stormlash - it only *begins* to make sense at level 2. And only when you go skill-based. On single target, with mostly only level 1 Gargoyle\Storm - you would give you virtually ZERO benefit, even at level 2. The whole idea of it isn't really to add AoE to your otherwise single target gargs and storms, but to add that extra "multihit" for your spells. Kind of like how RMB works on single target. But that's an extremely expensive and FINAL increase in damage. After you are fully capable of popping 4+ gargs within 5 seconds, WHILE keeping up Storm. That's when Stormlash begins to make sense. And it's possible with just maxed BS+some AP items, because you do end up with a hefty amount of leeched mana, though you most definitely end up in melee and that's when you need 15% DR from Path of Defender at higher NGs. But that's all NG2+ and it has nothing to do with understanding the basics of the class or making it effective at start. Because practically ANYTHING is more effective than a beginner skill-based warlock. Maybe except for Priest.

what blessing of the gods does?

Do ancestral strikes count as critical strikes, despite not doing critical damage? At least i read the crit damage stat is basically irrelevant as it gets replaced by ancestral strike damage, so technically we are not doing "critical damage" when doing an ancestral strike. Depending on how it's implemented, the 50% chance to gain gold when dealing critical damage is kinda pointless if we go for as close to 100% crit and 100% ancestral as possible. But i guess this was already tested and works for ancestrals aswell?

man so helpful, just bought the game and picked warlock as my first character and I've been having tons of fun. Wasnt sure what to lvl tho and this game a very good idea. Just upgraded my fountain too so covering how to prepare for a dungeon was so awesome
