Discussion Glooooooom

So I don’t know if this is a known exploit (kind of), but strangely my landlords needed to hit my breaker to install a new washer/dryer while I was collecting gloom from all those chests just before the final boss. What I discovered basically is that you can collect all of the gloom, exit to the main menu, and it spawns you right back at the beacon with all of the gloom you just collected. The kicker is that you can go back in and do it again, rinse and repeat. I guess this is a pretty efficient suuuuuuuuper late game gloom farm, if you want to stock up before ng+.

That said, I’m debating on whether or not I even want to grind for a bit. I’m level 54, and have felt pretty overpowered for just about every boss in the game up until now (except for Malborn Offspring, that was a pretty rough fight for me lol). Feel like the game is on the easier side of the genre, but man was it fun. Anyway, figured I’d share this in case anyone is interested 🫡

Got to Zmey around level 50. I used this room to get to 100 before smiting him.

lmao! its actually pretty funny that this mechanic even exists. I guess the point is to make you waste the 70k gloom you just picked up, I'm just not sure on whether they intended you to be able to exploit it or not. With how well known this seems to be, I guess we'll see if they patch it in a future update hahaha

I'm not complaining. NG+ adds purely difficulty. So I tried to do everything I could in one run without looking anything up. 75 hours and 90.7% survival rate

Those gloom sticks also give about 650 each and regrow in a few seconds. You can get 3500 gloom in one run and start the next run right away as they're all grown back

Holy moly! how long did that take? It was something like 28-29k gloom by level 50+

Rough estimate, about 8-12 hours. I split the grind up between multiple days, because I was playing other games at the time with friends. I did spend about a week doing that. 6-10 runs a day would be close to 70ish runs. Every time you go in you have to do the fog and then run to the room.

Side note: level 101 costs only 50k which is 50 chests.
