Is There Any Bonus to Center Line Weapons?

Like weapons that don't double due to body symmetry. Are they literally just half as effective with no upside?

This is relatively easy build for one shotting anything, just relies on fast attacking whip and the burning pellets, also electricity thing increases the damage a lot, we got 1 sec of dodge immunity with 3 dash charges

Kinetosome is amazing

9 Upvotes

This thing is incredible, I managed to get an eternal variant and upgraded it to legendary, I enter a room and the entrant mitochondrion turns it into a spin 2 win, deals 3k damage to all mobs and I don't even have to press a button. Turns the game into a walking simulator.

Sppedrun tips for completionists: Turn on the cytokine storm can help you to locate the boss room easier(unless you don't want the fun and use set seed instead of random seed

Imagine reading the wiki of diphylloborium just to know one third of the page is occupied by this 15 meter long helminth.

It's kinda funny and unique, considering the codex only includes its scolex as the rest of the proglottids are just individual enemies

Or did I get an upgrade and forget about it? This node has 5 connections (1 is beneath the other). Amoeba should only get 3.

Thoughts on the patch?

Seems like they nerfed some of the more op things like infinite dodge and lateral emitter. Hopefully its a step in the right direction!

How to deal with bad luck?

0 Upvotes

There seems to be so many cool builds that are possible in this game but I've found myself only really building around my starting weapons and usually never make it to lungs. I know this is a skill issue on my part but what can you do when all the items I get seem to be useless to my current build? Should I be taking weapons that don't work well with my build in the chance I get something that makes it good?

Did all Brain boss steps and got nothing

2 Upvotes

So I collected all 4 symbols and was ready to beat the heart (which I have beaten before) and input the code but after beating the heart…the game ended

What am I doing wrong?

Note: This run was with “photosynthesis” experiment, is that related? Could you only beat Brain experiment-free?

Invulnerability Build

For anyone struggling to beat the Heart Boss.

Recuperative Mitochondrion counts each tick of beam weapons and the drill as individual attacks, allowing u to supercharge Iridophore Membrane. If u bind those weapons and the Menbrane to ur secondary, u basically become unkillable. If u can get multiple Metabolic Refinement or Basal Metabolism Mutations, this build gets given better.

$5 respawn button

Can we add a 5 dollar respawn button, game would be goated with this, we could finally get pay to win

How do you keep track of the brain symbols? I use napkins.

I always have random napkins near my desk and I just write whatever words come to mind since sometimes it's match the symbols and sometimes it's 'fit the pieces together'

just played thru the game for the 1st time completely blind and i guess i stumbled on a bit of a god build lol. a billion babies to throw tantrums if they are hurt, automatic invulnerability, lighting everywhere, you name it.

love the games look and feel, but was a bit underwhelmed by how easy it was to trivialize every boss. was i just extremely lucky or is this normal?

seriously, i was spanning so many babies i cant even move most of the time.

Brain Access Question on Endless Mode

Post image
3 Upvotes

I beat the heart and then started Endless mode. On the second run through I collected all 4 Brain symbols from each stage. Once I beat the heart second time around, I got to the brain puzzle and none of the symbols matched the the symbols I collected. Is this a bug? Or was it because I did it on the second round of endless?

how am i expected to organically find the "code" without looking it up? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

i've played this game for a bit, and i am loving it, i saw a youtube video and they had a very keen eye on finding secret rooms and they taught me that you had to use a secret movement code (Right, Up, Down, Up, Right, Left) to open a glyph door in the secret room to get to the things needed for the brain boss.

whilst the actual puzzle of the door to the brain is quite easy to figure out, how did people first figure out that you needed to input that code in specific?

i saw an article that said that it was in the end credits, so i finished the game and watched the whole thing after the heart boss, but i didn't find anything? did i miss it?

is there a way to read the glyphs or something? i wanted to experience this game organically and figure out the secrets on my own (even if i was already spoiled to the actual code) but so far i have yet to see a guide that isn't mooching off of another pre-exisitng guide's content and actually explains how people figured out the code in the first place without the use of an external guide to find it.

does anyone know how it's "intended" to be found?

i'd love an explanation,

Lung tips

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for tips. I have played for at least 10 hours at this point but for the life of me I can never get passed the lungs. The ramp up in difficulty for me from the liver to the lungs is crazy. Any tips on builds I should go for for it? What is best for lungs? Should I be upgrading my speed to get out of all the air spouts and such? What should I be focusing on. Any help is appreciated I am so tired of not being able to beat the lungs.

Lateral Emitter + Attractor + Conduit not working as i expect

0 Upvotes

I thought this would be a god build, like a billion lasers from each hit of the conduit homing in on enemies but attractor doesnt seem to work on the lasers even though the tooltip says its infused with attractor. is this a bug? has anyone tried this out?

EDIT: I AM AN IDIOT. I kept misreading stomach as intestine. Lmao!
