First look at the NEW solo crypts! | Bard Gameplay and Commentary | Dark and Darker

Hey guys,
I'm going to hopefully be getting solo ruins and maybe some Hell runs on solo the next few days. This definitely seems like it'll be a lot more fun than just running the same few goblin caves maps over and over :)

the static is under the water

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! That’s what I thought, but I guess it just wasn’t open. Can you see the blue lights from above the water?

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Deltsongi think yes, saw it 1 time just a blue light on the top of the water

[@Deltsong]

@@kollasper cool, thanks! I’ve played crypts a decent amount, but never tried using that one haha

Do you know, does any stat like strength affects on range of drum throw?

[@Deltsong]

I don’t think any of the stats affect the range. If you look up for a second and then aim and throw it should go a little further though :)

@@Deltsong thanks

What are your thoughts on survival bow vs crossbow on bard? I always thought crossbow bc less inventory space for bolts/arrows and more dmg per bolt/arrow. But I see you run bow a lot.

[@Deltsong]

My thoughts on it are basically just that (in solo) the survival bow seems more reliable and is slightly easier to pull off. You can shoot shots more often, which means you could get more damage without running into melee, and if you miss your shot you aren’t as punished for it. When I run the crossbow, in solo, it’s typically because I want to use drums with reinforced instruments. Crossbow does a bigger burst, then the drums hopefully finish. If not, then I should have a good advantage when going into melee. And at that point, if I’m bringing three drums (or sometimes more) I can’t have my campfire, medkit or any other heals on my tool belt so it’s actually taking up more space at that point. Both are definitely good options, and it comes down to preference. I really like both, and honestly crossbow/drums can have a higher burst damage output which is why I was messing with it again when recording this video (but it doesn’t always work the best for me because I don’t have the best aim haha). The survival bow is just a tiny bit easier since you’re just shooting and leaves less room for error. I mostly only use the crossbow when I play in trios, because getting 1-2 hits typically makes the backline panic if it doesn’t kill them. And my teammates are doing things while I’m reloading, so I don’t just get run down right then. :)
