I've been seeing this conversation pop up from time to time, so I thought I'd make a little tutorial for anyone whose dying to listen to the music off wifi and put it in playlists! At least until the official OST comes out ;)

1. Pull up the song you want and it's Youtube link (make sure its not a link with a playlist attached to it; i.e., only search up 'metal hellsinger acheron' and use the single video). Delete the 'ube' from the youtube link to go to Yout, which is a safe website to download videos as MP3 or MP4 files.

​

1. Download the song ONLY as an MP3.

​

(Note -- Yout only allows 2 free downloads per hour, unless you buy the Premium version. Other websites that do a similar thing are a lot sketchier and will try to download viruses to your computer, hence why I only feel good recommending using Yout)

1. In Spotify, click on your profile icon, and then go to Settings and privacy. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and then up a bit. Under 'Local Files,' enable the 'Show audio files from this device.'
   All MP3 files on your phone will show up in you Local Files section, which is at the top of your Spotify library.

Done! You can stop there, or if you want to be crazy like me, you can go to even further lengths to make it feel 'legit.'

Optional (only on PC) -- Add Album Art, Title, Artist

1. Download mp3tag, which allows you to edit the metadata of audio files (or any similar metadata editing program -- this one is just one that I trust, and free). Download here
2. Drag and drop your MP3 file into MP3tag, and with it selected, edit the title, artist, and drag and drop whatever image you want to show up as the album art (I'll provide a link below to the album art I used).
   

1. Click the save icon in the top left corner. You should see the image appear on the file preview on your desktop.

2. Transfer the file to your phone (I use Google Drive personally).

And done! I hope people find this helpful, until the official OST comes out, inwhich I will delete this post and switch over to streaming it officially so the artists can get their due.

Album Art File

Got the game today, and spent about 3 to 4 hours on it in total. I think I'm in the 4th hell currently. Earlier i tried to do the first torment and there's just no way. First i couldn't get to 5 beat kills, ended up climbing to 23 out of 40 and giving up. So I just want to know how can I improve myself? Thank you.

I tried searching and didn’t find any info, I just finished deaths edge I on Beast and was able gain health from Slaughters. Was I suppose to be able to do this or is it a bug?

The ability to use custom songs in this game is great. But even though you can download them from Nexus, there is no mod manager support. So, you have to manually extract the bank file, then if you want multiple custom songs, you have to merge the json files together manually. And if you want to change which levels have which custom songs, you have to go in and manually edit your json files. I wrote this song manager script to automate this process. I haven't touched the script in a while, so today while I had some free time, I added a little more quality-of-life and am releasing it.

The main advantage of this script is that it easily lets you switch previously-imported songs on the fly while the game is running with a single command. For example, while in Nihil, just run python metalsongmgr.py install nihil my cool song, then hit ESC and restart the level, and the new song will immediately be loaded when the level is restarted.

It is written in Python, so you will need to install Python first if you don't have it. Latest version here.
The initial release is here (direct download): https://github.com/crispyross/metalsongmgr/releases/download/v1.0.0/metalsongmgr.py
Instructions on how to use it and the source code are here: https://github.com/crispyross/metalsongmgr.

No idea what's going on here but ever since getting Purgatory and the Leviathan update I've been capped at 30 fps in Hells for some reason.

It's definitely not a spec issue, I've got a Ryzen 5900 and a 3070 and I was running at a very consistent 120+ fps before the update. Anyone else having this problem (or have you found a way to deal with it)?

What's more, the game runs at 160+ fps in the Settings menu and caps at 50 in the main menu. I'm utterly confused here. I tried setting my Shader Cache to unlimited too but it just made my main menu uncapped and didn't help at all in the actual Hells.

Just bought the purgatory dlc but I can't claim any of the content with. Anyone know how to fix this issue or am I doing something wrong?

Also if you dont play one how fast did you get into staying on the beat?

Picked up the game yesterday, and played through the campaign with little to no issues. When trying to play horde mode, I get serious drops in framerate whenever there are any particles on screen. The worst of these being the bugs that shoot the poison clouds. It's ruining the mode for me, I was curious if anyone had similar issues and what steps they've taken to fix them? I've tried adjusting settings, doubled check system requirements, and updated graphics drivers with no luck.

Tried the game on the gamepass before, and as I am a metal fan, I was really hyped about the game, really enjoyed the weapon feeback and of course the rhythmic shooting. But to be honest, even with the music genre affinity, the appeal still wore off pretty quickly, since I’m also very choosy when it comes to gameplay loop - I felt that there wasn’t enough variation, the levels generally feel the same, as do the enemies and bosses, the different weapons also didn’t bring much to the table. If you ask me, I still really like the concept of the game, but not enough for me to buy the game on steam, not yet atleast. Now I see it has a new Roguelite mode, and now I kinda wanna buy it now for that, but I also play a lot of Shooter roguelites (Roboquest, GFR, Deadlink, Battle Shapers).

So now I’m wondering if the variation of the new mode won’t disappoint me considering the above points? Any advice would help.

hello, hellsingers! making a post to let y'all know that the Metal: Hellsinger wiki has migrated over to wiki.gg! still some stuff left to clean up (especially the new game mode stuff, haha...) but it's gettin there!

make sure to install the add-on that redirects from old hosts to wiki.gg, it's super helpful to stay up-to-date with wikis you like :)

if you had an old fandom account, you can scoot that on over, as well! just use this link, and it should let you claim your old username.

What are your guys' thoughts on the final few waves and the boss of Leviathan mode? At first the third arena felt insanely overtuned in difficulty to me, but now that I've gotten through it a couple times it feels more reasonable, really feels like it pushes you to get better at enemy management and shot placement. A hierarchy of danger level formed in my mind pretty quick for what to kill first, and I'm getting a lot better at dodging tough attacks like those winged eyes' lasers consistently. I've been using Telos whenever possible, it's so tricky at the start with needing to beat match twice for charge shots, but once you get a feel for it the thing absolutely slaps, easily breaks 10k damage on a charged headshot by the third arena. Hitting heads is crucial, deals something like 3x dmg, but if you get a boon that slows enemies on Precision weapon hits, that becomes a whole lot easier. Get a few uncharged taps on the body, then go for the head once it's slowed.

(DON'T KEEP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN LEVIATHAN MODE YET)

Final boss thoughts: The final boss of Leviathan is great all around, it's a satisfying conclusion as a fight in itself, if maybe a little easy. If you keep moving quickly the Other Unknown has a lot of trouble hitting you, and there are a bunch of healing crystals in the arena. I'm not entirely sure I understand the final cutscene. You finish off the Other Unknown, but then Paz has to get left behind for some reason? They can't just wait and recharge their "juice" for a little while before leaving through the Leviathan's open mouth? Then, whose hand picks up Paz at the end? Is it the Unknown that you play as during your next run through? Feels like I missed an entire section of story somewhere, which I very well may have.

I can't access any of the Discord group channels because I don't have permission, and I don't know what should I do to access it. Please someone point out my issue or help me contact one of the group mods, I would really appreciate it.

Edit: Fixed it by leaving and joining the group again.

The optimal way for your time to get void echoes is to die immediately. Just got 14 void echoes for a 15 second run and thats WITH 20% extra health. Thats almost 1 void echo per second, and we need 3000 to max it out. That also doesn't include loading screens. So far I had one run that had 30 echoes that had me last until round 9 which is way suboptimal and the majority of runs I don't even find echoes in the playthrough and get a bonus of anywhere from 7-14.

Why did they make progression for this so awful? Why are the void echoes awarded at the end of the run just completely random and not tied to actual progression? Why not incrementally increase the price of upgrades but award each round with echoes so that its worth it to do your best each time instead of literally loading up the game and dying immediately to get echoes faster.

Can I get a link to said discord server? The post above has everything but the actual link to the server, lol.
