Argh, finally died! Some sentient thingy killed me in the second biome but was probably due to me just having picked up the Hollowseeker for the first time and not really liking it. I like the carbine a lot though.
So far it plays exactly how I thought it would - Risk of Rain 2 with a more controlled power creep. Lots of Metroid Prime influences in there too. I’m having the most success treating it like a run and gun, not really touching the aim down sights at all during more frantic firefights.
@nessisonett The Hollowseeker is an odd weapon. I feel like, on its own, it's kinda lacklustre, but it can become one of the best guns once you've unlocked a bunch of its weapon traits. It has some good ones.
@Quintumply Yeah, if I’d stuck with the carbine then I probably would have been OK. It’s just a bit ‘death by a thousand cuts’ which isn’t very good against those teleporting enemies.
@nessisonett@Quintumply The Hollowseaker can definitely be more quantity than quality but I've found it quite useful to stagger a large number of flying things when they start trying to power up on you. The carbine is awesome though, especially with that trait where it fires faster the longer you hold the trigger down. It's like it's gonna take off!
@render Haha, yeah. Rising Pitch I think it's called Don't get me wrong, the Hollowseeker can be seriously good with the right traits, like the serrated blades and the portal one. I suppose I could say that about any of the guns though. It really pays to experiment and unlock all the traits, there are some awesome combos you can find.
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.

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...
@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
