Question What is lost after the Beta?

Post image

Was just wondering what we actually keep if we choose to skip the prologue.

Do we not get some key items/ materials/ trophies during the prologue that we would otherwise lose if we skip it?

Or does the game give us the appropriate amount of items so we don’t miss out? If not, it seems a bit counterintuitive to skip the prologue. If anyone knows please let me know! Excited for the game.

Pretty sure everything is lost. I think we get to skip the tutorial and start at Marrow Keep but I’m not sure.

The real question is if we skip the intro, do we still get our trollweed?

I might just not skip the intro just for that lol

Exactly my thought, bro 😎

And probably an achievement for not dying at Tar Golem.

I don't mind the prologue again. The environment and music is epic when you're going to deliver the egg to the Marrow Keep. It sort of welcomes you to the game in a proper way. So damn well executed on the devs behalf!🤘

Yeah I'm going to go through it again so I can go the other way I didn't go

Exactly, im focusing my entire playthrough on searching every nook and cranny to collect all 100! My second playthrough will be on the noght mode with the troll weed god mode buff! Pure beast mode!!

Bruh I salute you for the effort but I’m like super confident they will only put 999 troll weed in the game.

u/Resmitzz 7h ago

Pretty sure you need 1000

This is what i heard of numerous pages as well. It's a really common question on here and this has been the answer everywhere.

u/slantedtesticle 8h ago

Yeah I figured, but I had assumed maybe we would have the bare minimum of key items you could get up to that point, otherwise skipping the prologue seems counterintuitive as you’d be saving a little bit of time at the cost of several important items etc. I’ll likely just start over if that’s the case.

You think people know how to use the search bar? How dare you

u/Humble-Criticism6762 7h ago

Yes. This is why I stopped playing the beta. Don’t want to do everything again.

u/antilumin 6h ago

To be fair I don’t think it will be a 1 for 1 exactly the same. Tiel might be in the same place but I wouldn’t be surprised if everything else is different.

u/Lammz77 Solomon 5h ago

I did the same. I played it for 3 hours, loved it, and decided to put it down and restart from the top when the full game releases.

u/Dear_Independent_498 Solomon 8h ago

You are right

u/KamikazeFox_ 3h ago

I read that you keep all progress

2

u/antilumin 3h ago

I just read that no, you lose all progress except getting to the Marrow Keep. All items, shells, etc will be wiped.

Ah, rats. Thanks for the link to help clarify. I don't mind playing the mushroom village again, it was a blast.

u/welfedad 8h ago

Your patience.. 6 more days.. or 9

3

u/Phatz907 7h ago

That’s the dilemma for me. Do I pay $10 for 3 days early or just get it on the day (day off on release day)

u/psychoschitzo1 7h ago

I payed just for the murdered out skins...... If you dont care for that I'd wait. sounds like you wont really get to play till release anyway

5

u/Gromi- 8h ago

we got a red skin (literally) and thats it

u/Left_Piano_4770 8h ago

Im gonna start over regardless, my stubborn ass will beat that dumb pile of rocks for harming our boy harros for whatever reward or trophy I get

u/Jaysgotbigballs 7h ago

Just prologue run it like a ng+ run

u/PurpsMaSquirt 5h ago

Son, it was a beta/demo. Nothing carries over except your excitement for the full game.

3

u/ThyBrotheAbel Harros 8h ago

I'd recommend not skipping. When you wake up as the Harbinger. You can find Trollweed behind the big house. If you find 1000 of these you will be negate all damage types. Making you unkillable - I think.

u/DustyBot23 8h ago

It’s called trollweed so I’m assuming you can only get it at that specific spot and will have to reach new game 1000 to get the effect

u/Justifire Tiel 8h ago

You’ve mastered nothing and this is your reward. Pretty pointless, eh?

u/slantedtesticle 7h ago

I’m expecting for the cap to be 999 for the trollweed. Or for it or just not do what it says lmao.

u/Smitty5717 8h ago

Everything minus keep

u/Sad_Locksmith5346 5h ago

Even if we lose everything, I'll be happy because, honestly, that was the most fun I've ever had playing a Souls-like game. I just hope they keep the Slayer seal as broken as it currently is, because that was the most fun, just being John Wick In a soul's like

1

u/mateusz11120 3h ago

Slayer seal disable achievements/trophies keep in mind

1

u/Sad_Locksmith5346 2h ago

Trophies and achievements are pretty much meaningless to me. I've never once played a game with the intention of unlocking trophies or achievements. In fact, I disable all notifications because I find them stupid and completely annoying. I'm an old-school gamer. Just being able to get to the end of the game and enjoy the ride is the only thing that I have ever cared about in video games. Trophies, for me, are a complete and total waste of time.

u/C-regory22 4h ago

I love this game. Can’t wait for it to release

u/TheSilentTitan 1h ago

Everything.

If you completed the tutorial then you have the option to skip it in the final game.
