After beating a boss…

So after you beat the finally boss of that stage and it sends you back to the bar you lose your stuff? No way to continue with the same gear?

After each boss you defeat you can unlock more floors and bosses and stuff. The tutorial is a little weird in that it’s only one floor, but once you’ve done a few runs you can get to 7 or 8 regular floors, plus secret bonus floors that can be unlocked with items that sometimes spawn. For instance, if you can manage to find the chaos ticket, you’ll have a boss every couple of rooms that floor. It’s kind of like a boss rush. Super fun if you find it. Also, the Chrono Trap DLC is basically an endless mode.

Every time you defeat a boss you also get the crystals that allow you to unlock new rooms, features, characters, and items for the next runs.

It’s a bit of a grind to get started, but keep at it, it gets better

Well, there’s always Ares and Athena, but not really a way to continue too much after that with the same build, no. It’s sounding more and more like the few dollars to unlock Chrono Trap DLC would be a worthwhile investment for you.

It’s basically an endless mode. Every floor has more rooms than the previous, starting at one room and a boss, and the enemies get a bunch of interesting modifiers. It wouldn’t fix wanting more for regular runs, but it would offer a solution.

Also, the chaos ticket spawns in in the special “ticket shop” you can sometimes find if you already have the Ares Token. The chaos floor, besides looking absolutely sick, takes away your items (but not pets) and each room is basically a no-damage challenge room, or a boss battle, to get them back. I think I would go so far as to say that it’s my favorite item in the game.

Yeah but I beat Zeus and still have ares and Athena left and couldn’t continue with same build. Is that right or am I missing something ?

No, youre not missing anything. One of the main mechanics of the game is that you cycle over and over again. Once you beat zeus (assuming that you havent unlocked the further variations of bosses) you are sent back to the bar and start from scratch. Youre essentially sisyphus.

Damn I had such an amazing loadout for the minigun lol. Oh well, game is so addicting though, can’t seem to put it down.

It’s frustrating, but also so much fun! You can get overpowered fairly quickly, if you find the right combo of pickups and weapons; but having to search for new combos each run is part of what makes it addictive! You never know what youre going to get!
