@velio84 @render I've seen them pop up in Biome 3 as well but I'll take them over that drones any day haha.

Speed runners are now beating the game (from a fresh save) in under 1 hour lol

So, was sleeping in helios not intended to heal or did housemarquee decide they didnt like how people were approaching the first biome and they nerfed it by a substantial amount and to 1x per run? or both, or neither lol.

@Voltan I got a strange sense of confidence when I was playing Bloodborne by watching the speed runs on YouTube. If someone can beat the game that quickly and easily, I feel assured that even a commoner like me could beat it with a good deal of effort.

@Th3solution That makes sense. Looks like IGN's going to do a "Devs react to speed runs" on this in a while and I'll definitely watch that.

They nerfed the hell out of it.

In the midst of a decent run on biome 4 at the moment, finally.
I can't believe people completed this only dieing a handful of times. Think I'm on double digit deaths just from falling off ledges...

I managed to get a score of 0 in today's challenge. They're pretty ridiculous in Tier 6.

@nessisonett @Quintumply @render The Hollowseeker with Waves and serrated is awesome, but a carbine with leech beam is even better!

@Voltan 😂 Haven't you finished the game, too?! So far, I've generally found the challenges easier than a run, but I'm only in biome 4.

Phew, after considering giving up after my first attempt at Nemesis a couple of days ago I just managed to nail a run and finish act 2.

The lobber is your friend people!

33 hours and 46 deaths, could be worse I guess.

@PossibLeigh A new tier of challenges is unlocked after each biome and you're only allowed to play the highest tier available, so... you know
Also it's not like I killed nothing in it, but I died early and it subtracted points for "missed rooms" and stuff
I finished Act 2 but trying to finish Act 3 now

@PossibLeigh The huge squiddy things that spit out 5 million bullets every few seconds, early in Biome 2, are testing that theory at the moment ... but I'll get them eventually

Ok, the Citadel is definitely harder than when I was there the 1st time

@PossibLeigh Yeah definitely loving the carbine still. Just took out Hyperion with it with the Rising pitch that we mentioned earlier. Love that battle, and even more the lead up to it where you are climbing up and the music is building. Brilliant stuff.

Didn’t get far into 5 though before going into the star room and finding it a bit overwhelming.

@Voltan I didn’t realise that’s how the challenges worked, I just thought everyone was in the same one. No wonder I managed 195th in one the other day. I thought I’d somehow become awesome at this game 🤣

Ok, so no progress on Act 3 today. Some progres on collectibles though so at least it wasn't a total waste

Anyone recongnize this room? It's a vertical one and there's usually a room behind an enhanced sword barrier across from the top floor. I've seen it a dozen times and I still can't figure out where the switch is for the container gate.

@Voltan I managed 581313 in that daily challenge. Not a great score cause I got hit once but it was pretty fun with the rocket launcher.

@Voltan Yes that switch is on your right just over the edge of the ledge if you look along towards the translocator thingy.
