[@stp5076]

to those confused the latch that unlocks the new zone is in the safe 28:10 like i genuinely was looking for hours trying to remember where it was myself thank you to this video

[@maxplusothernames]

I did not realize how hard the devs would go with this update holy shit

[@johnsnowie4157]

Fav update this far

[@arqane5669]

Amazing update. prob the best they have done!

[@ClearVall]

Wowowowo hold it right there How do you unload weapons and eat frutties wo taking em into your case?

[@WordPossum]

That's a good question! The game never tells you but if you press Mouse button 2 on fruit you can instantly eat them, and pressing the reload key on dropped weapons will search them for ammo!

​@WordPossumdamn you're a genius!!

[@runningwild09]

really wish we could get the backpack upgrade BEFORE the hive. So much stuff to grab

I think they went a little overboard with the difficulty here. My main problem is the elevator, I don’t mind sneaking past literally dozens of crowman, but an elevator that calls a huge horde to you in the finale where you already have little ammo left is, in my opinion, a little overkill. At least they managed to make a truly scary and difficult location. By the way, in one of Dillon’s videos, the crowman died from one shot from a shotgun, I commented that this would greatly reduce the fear of them if they could all be killed so easily, and perhaps he saw this and decided to change everything back, so perhaps in the difficulty of this locations you have to blame me lol

[@skylarlunaaphroditeparadis4991]

I think this area is much a lesson in picking your battles, I normally go pretty guns blazing but found this update to be alot more about distracting and luring the crowmen, which is reinforced by having such a great escape tool for the end section, the harpoon gun. And well if you want to go crazy there are always the barrels of fun heh.

[@Vashjxn]

My only complaint would be that there’s barely any health, and due to the suitcase upgrade being unlocked after the hive, you’ll have barely have any room for extra things, usually causing you to do a second run through. Still really good, but the suitcase limits quite a bit of the experience

[@skylarlunaaphroditeparadis4991]

@@Vashjxn I kinda think we are supposed to go through again for loot you missed fr

[@иллюминаты-п9г]

@@Vashjxn True, on the first playthrough I thought that it was specially done there so that you would spend a lot of ammo and grenades before meeting the harpoon gun so that you would have a place for it and I thought it was quite smart on their part, but then I saw the old coins and vases that take up 2 slots each and realized that yes, everything is not so good. But this is still a very good location that provides a unique experience relative to almost all of the rest of the game, at least simply because you can’t backstab all the enemies in the location now and you need to really study where they walk and how to get around them

[@thesidneychan]

So it turns out you can quite literally hide somewhere until they give up. I think that was the case even for all the "crescendo events" throughout the game.

[@lordinquisitorrichard8808]

Have you figured out what the canoptic jars do yet? I have three and I'm headed to a secret area to see if they can be used

[@WordPossum]

They're valuables! You can sell them to Grezzo for 300 coins each!

[@Shade400]

Oof, I just sold them, I hope they weren't important. Also of they reflect egyption canoptic jars there should be 4 but no one I know cab find the 4th

The devs cooked so hard with this update. *spoilers* The first time I did the elevator sequence my heart was hammering in my chest. Fantastic stuff
