After a hour or two of trying to find log 9, I think I'll leave this one unplatted until its all fixed, which I'm guessing will be a while yet because there are much bigger problems with the game, like an entire system not working and it being in dire need of saves. I really hope they manage to correct it all though, it's such a shame that the core game is so good but the high-level direction is engineered to create misery.

Glad i'm not the only one missing log 9, apparently people have found it after act 3 late game but not for all of us. I actually have yet to see a single corpse of selene either. The save thing it really a non-issue once you've gotten the credits and can do whatever biomes you want.

Aren’t we supposed to be getting attacked by zombie Selenes or am I misinterpreting what meeting these dead bodies is supposed to be?

I’m not going for Plat but luckily I already had Log 9 unlocked when I finished Act 3 and was looking over my inventory.

Unfortunately it’s not working right now and when they fixed it for 1.3 it caused the save corruptions so they removed it again.

HampHamp posted:Not sure if it'll be of any help to anyone, but it seems as though some of the scout logs appear as a result of things you do in the game. Number 10 for example showed up for us when we had collected a bunch of parasites in biome 1, and I pretty sure another only showed up when I used a reconstructor in one of the biomes. Quoting myself from earlier as it seems like a lot of people struggling to find logs. I wrote scout log number ten in my earlier post but it may have been 9, I'm not at home to check. Worth a try though, grab some parasites and try stuff you don't normally do!

PantsBandit posted:Pretty crazy that this feature has been so broken that many early adopters will finish the game without ever getting to engage with it. It’s too bad, it’s a pretty neat concept. You could either salvage their remains or avenge them, which involved fighting a mini-boss and rewarded a handful of ether. And sometimes the corpse would just revive and you’d fight alien Selene.

I'm pretty sure the parasites are irrelevant, I had the datalog about parasites at 100% well before my biome 1 marathon, I started grabbing them out of superstition maxing out at 5 and nothing really changed after multiple times doing it other than making it a pain in the butt depending on what the parasites afflicted you with.

I have seen it alleged that Log #9 spawns, when it spawns at all, in the only non-singleton blue path in the Ruins and never behind the locked door, so the speedrun method is to blow through the Ruins checking every blue door until you find one with another blue door behind it, and restart if that path doesn't have the log. The problem is, I've just done five runs of Ruins and there hasn't been a single blue door with any other doors behind it.

I looked at my logs. I haven’t reached the true ending yet but I do have log 9. I actually have most of the logs and cyphers, with the exception of biome 2, where I only have half of the latter. This is under 20 hours so if you guys have legit put in 100, ya sounds p bugged.

How the heck do I fight the biome 4 boss? I opened the door and there’s just a statue and I can’t figure out what to do next.

I decided to do a run where I went as thorough as possible, and managed to beat the biome 3 boss, then reach the biome 4 boss, who I died to in his last health bar. Serrated really is an insane trait for hollowseeker, drat.

When you get the portal beam + serrated projectiles, pretty much no reason to swap guns unless you find a better version or the Electropylon gun

FUUUUUUCK biome 5, I've been at this all day. Finally got two keys and had to shut it down because I can't take anymore tonight. This is far too intense, I've died so many times, I don't want to go back to the jungle!

This is far too intense, I've died so many times, I don't want to go back to the jungle! You must believe in yourself. Maintain a positive attitude. Every time I walk into a new room I loudly affirm "you can do this jbp!" and when I see an enemy I know is hard I remind myself "watch out for the X attack, stay focused!". Hesitation is defeat.

There are so many missile drones. At least I was smart this time and when they dropped two bots in a room I just skated through it without engaging. I've got one revive in the back pocket for door #3, but nothing else left to upgrade that will keep me alive longer.

I understand why people like the pylon gun so much but tbh I don't find it very fun. It's stupidly good though. I got to the biome 4 boss on my first run through it and went in there with half a health bar and almost killed him in like 2 minutes just spamming it at him. He would have went down if I had even 3/4th of a non upgraded heath bar. it seems pretty op I just want to blast poo poo though and it's not very satisfying in that regard.

Biome 5 remains my run ender too. I can scrape through 4 with basically any build, and if I reach 6 I'm beating it. But 5 is just a hard check for how well my build is coming together, and if I get boned by hard rooms before I can get some more resources.

I've lost track of how many loops and I still haven't even found the rotgland lobber, let alone log 9. I need to start just repeating biome 1 even if I have as nice setup to run the rest of act 1 with. Also how the hell am I still missing seven cyphers in biome 2? Could there really be that many more rooms I haven't even seen yet?

I assume I’ll get more collectibles when I unlock swimming and I assume some kind of double jump? I’m only on Biome 3 and I’m honestly way, way more interested in exploring Biome 1 and 2 with my new toy than I am progressing forward into hosed up Robot Hell, AKA DC.

Well... OK then! When farming, you do you folks clear out Biome 1 and go straight to 3 or do you ever feel the need to dip toes in to B2?

Bust Rodd posted:Well... OK then! Yeah I'd go straight for 3. You can't really dip your toes in B2. Once you go through the gate, you'd have to go through the majority of B2 again to get into 3. Not worth it. Clearing out 1 should get you enough health and other goodies to be set for 3. Spoiler for what I mentioned above if you're curious: The game is divided into two parts. Once you finish biome 3 and start biome 4, biome 4 is your 'start' point if you die. There's a bit more to it, but that's the most spoiler free way to put it.

Cool, I actually love that gameplay loop so I'm super into that. When farming B1, I tend to leave all the treasure chests until I have proficiency 2 or 3. Am I correct for doing that? or is the item in the chest spawned when the chest is spawned, not when it's open?

So does anyone else get Activity cards that just... don't have any detail on them? I have no idea where my missing ciphers even are, plus I'm still missing an entire xenoglyph somewhere. I think the cards are supposed to show you a breakdown of stuff in each biome, but mine just say "Fully explore $BIOME_NAME" on each card. Also at one point I got a random Objective Update despite being long past the full clear and it literally just showed Objective Name: Objective Detail at the top right for a few seconds.

Like a lot of things on the game right now, pretty sure those cards are borked. Mine were looking better yesterday but I assume that was from me getting lucky and looking before they broke again rather than them actually being fixed.

Bust Rodd posted:Cool, I actually love that gameplay loop so I'm super into that. I’ve never really bothered waiting on chests as it just adds to the backtracking. The only backtracking I do is for vending machines, challenge rooms and for the red/green bed. Or if I’m hurting, backtrack to a weapon that has hardened or leech. I always try to do the red bed and challenge room if possible as it typically gives good loot that snowballs into a nice build. Also a good tip: always try to upgrade your blade as soon as possible. There’s almost always a room in each biome that you can access with it that has free health/money/artifact drops. It’s another one of those things that can snowball. Leave some health picks-up alone if you're at max despite wanting to increase your health bar, in order to mitigate red bed damaged if you come across one. Though I've had some pretty lucky RNG in that green bed spawns in same biome as red bed 4/5 times so they cancel each other out. Arkage fucked around with this message at 15:17 on May 10, 2021 |

Do green pickups only become resin if you're at full health? Are they always the heal if you aren't? If you see one as health, then go heal to fill, then come back, do they become resin and vice versa?

Any heals become resin, temporarily, if you're at full health, but it doesn't work the other way around. You can still find world-spawned resin if you're not at full health.

Is that the one you usually get from the 'vending room' that has the 4 stations plus the one to increase protection?

Yup, it's "blade balancer" and lets you cut down the yellow forcefields you sometimes see on doors or around chests. This is not explicitly indicated anywhere in the game as far as I am aware.
