Congratulations on beating level 9 in style, you utterly dominated hard mode and I couldn’t be more happy to see it. Let’s hope plenty of cool challenge runs and creative builds come out of this, so cool to have watched this game grow from the start with you man.

So what i get from the entire story of hard mode, is that it's just a set up. A way for the spirit or the others he's associated with to gain unimaginable amount of power in the form of pure dark quartz. They LITERALLY made an ENTIRE ALTERNATE REALITY THAT THEY BENT THE STORY OF TO MAKE YOU THEIR PERSONAL QUARTZ MINER!! Man, Korean story telling is freaking nuts

@32:14 I had to stop at this moment to say it would be simultaneously hilarious and also the best comment section ever. Even better you just continue along as normal, not even acknowledging that you are forgetting them right up till you get to the door, then you make a nod to it. After witnessing your "Best True Hunter run ever!" live, nothing could ever top that but this would be a close second. But the carleon insignia run would be chef's kiss. Even go full meme and try to get kobold for the first two areas.

[@-GuessMyName]

I have a sneaking suspicion I'll die 20-30 times trying to climb the ladder of Hard Mode, but I absolutely adore how they went about it! Instead of the cookie-cutter excessive enemy stat raise and pumping up the numbers, the stat raise is noticeable but manageable and the enemy variety was heavily expanded upon! It looks like a goddamn blast with all of the mechanics they steadily add in, too! As much as things get more difficult, you're also offered more options for becoming that much stronger--that's the best way to scale a mode like this, and I hope more games follow suit! South Paw #1! Best wishes t'ya, person reading this, and I hope you're doing well out there!

[@drecknathmagladery9118]

id like to imagen the first hero in his room is just like what on earth is this earthquake that keeps coming closer to my chambers and then his panicked screams as he starts getting beaten to a bloody pulp

This mode really brings out the best of the game, glad there are devs like southpaw, grat video man! (also really appreciate the fable music at the end)

Now that you have beaten 9, you have to take at least 1 omen for each run

[@davidenofrini2174]

So you did it, 9 is no more, and with Little Skul and Slime too. That final fight felt gooood. I did it too, 8 with Alchemist and 9 with Shield / Kaboomer. You need a lot of patience and cold blood for higher difficulties, a thing I have but little. Congratulations, I hope you will try some different builds at lower difficulties to see if they work, while waiting for the 12th. I bow to thy greatness, and bid you... Have a Good One!

[@chronred8190]

tbh i feel like a berserker shielder run is just.. easy win basically. as long as you don't pick bad items or whatever. honestly would be pretty fun doing a run with these two classes i believe; the shielder can provide support and just keep gathering shield while the berserker can dish out tons of damage; if you have a lot of shield while you're low health you're basically a near undefeatable power house due to from what i remember berserker's ability to turn missing hp into power; only downside is that to truly take advantage of this you'd have to really upgrade both skulls, if possible get both to legendary

[@nonmagicalwitch]

I love this kind of difficulty shifting. The game obviously becomes more difficult, but at the same time, the runs are easier to build. This just might just be one of the best overall updates I've seen in any roguelikes, rivaling DLCs like the repentance DLC in Isaac, or even all the hot new stuff Have A Nice Death is getting. Big love to the devs for that one, they could charge 20 or moree bucks for that one.

[@Creator_Avery]

So, your comment on the stinky flower effect lingering like that, I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. But since they've added in the whole room clear effect for the dark powers, I think they added that to the food as well. Since on an end of a dash run I had, I had THREE food effects for First Hero. And I think it's only counting a room being cleared when you get a proper clear reward. At least before the update comes out in full. It might be a bug, but it was a neat thing to see at the time.

[@Beelz55]

Any food that says it lasts 3 rooms always worked for this. But I have heard other food have been behaving strangely

[@beowulfalex87]

Local Skul inhales dark quartz and kills gods and his dad

[@thesongbird1679]

That maddening scream dark power seems incredibly broken for some skulls. Mainly champion and samurai. Samurai is all about putting the marks on enemies with his basic attack and secondary skill (the scream power boosts the attack speed so basic attack is easier to stack with) then killing with his single slash skill. Killing an enemy with max stacks instantly resets the cooldown of the slash, bypassing the 80% longer cooldown time. Champion is similar. His skills have no real cooldown, instead just draining his meter, which refills by landing basic attacks which is easier with the 100% boost to attack speed from the dark power.

[@reboot3332]

FYI, they must have changed it in the update cause now the last room with all the statue guards and the hero rooms count as one, so if you get a 2 room food item, it will still make it through the hero fight now, which is awesome.

[@TheRhysStreams]

"I have gotten so much cooldown reduction that I actively have TOO much and spam my skills so fast that I actually do less damage... let me put more fragments into cooldown reduction instead of damage which would have increased returns given my incredibly skill speed" ARRRRRGH.

Eeeeexactly! As if you haven't seen me double down on a great/bad idea before

beelz. try doing a full omen run at 0 difficulty. its definitely possible since lvl 0 is way easier compared to lvl 9. some advice would be getting the sun and moon omen and upgrade it since it'll give you and extra life with 1 health and the effect resets after killing 50 enemies while also gaining either 50 physical or magic damage. shields also can protect you from instant death
