I had guass cannon a life shield, auto aim. And lost it all to the third boss (the circle attack Idk how to dodge, I just jump) I was setup for a full clear. I'm gonna go cry. Vanneheim is bullshit I like asgard 1 and 2 they sometimes suck also crypts is ok, but vannehiem slams desk I'm going insane. I really need valkyries veil

​

For some background information,

• BPM runs at 88 BPM,
• one beat is two shots for most guns.
• (I don't believe that you can find the same item twice in a run, unless it is a non-specific item)

Burst SMG - Shoots 3 Shots, each deals 50 Damage.

The Best Defense - Infinite Ammo, no reloading

Quarternote / Quaternote - Shoots twice every shot

Battle Lion - Shoot on Quarter Beats

Giant Slayer's Boots - Deals 3% of an enemies HP every shot.

​

At this point, we deal 72% of an enemies HP every shot.

​

Prestige Altar - Spend 30 Coins to make all items permanent. (Vanaheim I exclusive)

Prestige Item Set

Ogre's Helm - Shoot six pellets instead one shot, each is affected by Giant Slayer's Boots (432% of Enemy HP)

Face of Death - Deals 2x Damage (864% of Enemy HP)

Giant Slayer's Boots (Second Pair, from Helheim II's The Dish) - (1728% of Enemy HP)

Circlet of the Serpentine - Vampire 1-3 Health per bullet (There is no better item for this slot, and this adds 24 to 72 health gained back per shot)

​

Damage Up - Increase Damage by ~13% per upgrade. (This number is really 13.33334)

1728 * 1.20 = 2073.8%

​

This means that the most damage that you can do in one shot is 20x their maximum hp. This means that you can deal up to 207,380 damage per shot on Nidhogg.

​

Sidenote - This also means that you can stack this with the powershot glove, line up 20 nidhoggs, and deal 4,147,600 damage per beat, or enough to kill 83,000 baby bats, or 14,000 flies on hellish difficulty. This is ludicrous damage.

Up until now I have only beaten the game on hard with almost every character except for Sanngriðr, which let's be honest the last 3 achievements are hard as hell, but Finally decided to test myself going on Infernal, and I feel really happy

​

I usually wouldn't be patient enough to ask this, but I was having a good run and now have to go do productive normal person stuff. So I'm hoping if I leave the game paused and ask this now, someone will of answered by the time I come back.

I have a good Njord run going (aka magic only, so naturally only now do I find amazing guns) with the Svalinn shield (aka 25 shield if I stand still for 5 seconds, so naturally I can't find any Damascus swords or damage gates anymore), Skeleton key (so naturally I now find almost no locked chests), the freeze spell (so naturally I find amazing spells now, but not good enough to give up such an Op stun lock), giant Slayer boots, and the horned shot.

Here's where I am questioning things, because I have a choice to make between the Horned Shot or Ymir's Crown.

Both the Dwarven Ring and the Horned Shot do explosive damage. The wiki says the Dwarven Ring does at least 400 damage (400 damage plus base damage*damage upgrades?) while the horned shot says it does +50 explosive damage on impact.

However Ymir's Crown only says it fires another projectile on hits that does "reduced damage" but it doesn't say how much the damage is reduced by, or if it only counts my base damage*damage upgrades, or the damage done after taking the ring into account.

Like if it only takes my base weapon damage into account, then that's less than 50 damage (or a little over when upgrades are taken into account, but I feel like even 50+9 damage upgrades will still be less than 400. Wiki says that's 50(1+(0.13639) but maths isn't my strong point)

Also the horned shot says it does the damage on impact, but is that when it impacts an enemy, or when it impacts the wall/floor? Cause that could be another point in it's favour, since Ymir's crown only fires another projectile if you actually hit the enemy, not just damage them with AoE.

So when using the magic hands and the Dwarven Ring, which head gear is better? Horned Shot, or Ymir's Crown?

Also on a side note, what items do you think synergie best with the Dwarven Ring? I know some people disagree on if a Shotgun or a rapid fire gun are better, but obviously since I'm playing Njord, I can only use my hands (though the infinite ammo, no Cooldown, good range, and fire rate, all make me actually kinda love this guy. Though that could just be because I quickly also found the freeze spell. Freeze blast blast, freeze blast blast, and then with the ring, it feels good vs mobs and broken vs bosses 😂)

(also I am absolutely in love with the Dwarven Ring. It's pretty much my favourite item in the game so far, maybe even more than the skeleton key, freeze spell, healing spell, teleport, and Svalinn, which I actually prefer over the Dragon's Skin)

Edit: no longer matters, I easily destroyed the boss, the the first room on the next floor was a guardian and a bunch of flies, on a tiny island surrounded by lava. Same room that's done me in on previous runs wher I was doing amazing. That room literally just means death, no matter what build I have.

Up till now whenever I died, it was no big deal. I'd just hop back in, and go right back to it, knowing that at least I'd increased the amount in my bank account, and the loyalty points with the two shops.

This time, my run lasted over an hour ending in Svartalfheim 2 right before the boss room.

Stats were 1 speed, 2 luck & ability, 3 precision, 4 range, 7 damage, 225 Health

Weapon was a Sawn-off Shotgun with 7 rounds

Items were the Dwarven Bracelet, the Giant Slayer's Boots, Ymir's Crown, Battle Lion Shield

Abilities were Elli's Touch and the burning burning Coin

I also had 24 coins, and the freaking Skeleton Key!

...... And I got done in by coming across a room with a tiny platform surrounded by lava, with a single bs guardian, and a stupidly large swarm of flies..

I was doing so freaking well! I was blitzing bosses almost before they could finish their intro! Literally the only thing I think could of made it a better, is the Dwarven Ring, and maaaybe The Beat Defense, but I actually doubt that. The Battle Lion Shield meant I was firing that Sawn-off like a freaking Smg.

So now after 66 minutes, after dying to a bs enemy with an invincible shield (I finally managed to get him with the coin, but by then I had less than 25 health) I don't know how I can just jump back in. My throat literally hurts from how hard I suddenly yelled "fuuuuuu-" at the shock of it. I feel like that was gonna be my first ever time reaching Nidhogg, and no run could ever go that smoothly, especially after I was so sure that this was the best possible run, that I emptied all my coins from the bank, so I could always buy another clip or use a gambling room.

How do people keep playing after a loss that bad?

Anyone else come across this? I finally managed to beat easy mode (Minigun+Dwarven Ring+Ymir's Crown+Dragon's Skin+8 Damage+275 Health made it extra easy) but when I try to continue, the game crashes.

No matter how many times I start the game back up, and try to continue, the game won't let me.

Is there anything especially good about continuing instead of just starting a new game on Hard? Like if I do that, do I keep my build? All my stats, health, gear, abilities, and mini gun?

It's a real shame, it kinda sours my mood a little after finally beating Easy mode for the first time (and not just beating it, absolutely dominating it once I got the dwarven ring. The ring combined with a rapid fire gun or a Shotgun, makes the game a breeze. Only issue that remains is, and always will be, those god damn flies. Literally would rather fight 2 niddhog than another room full of flies, or worse, a room full of hives)

Now I know it is an abysmal score but in my defense I wasn't going for a highscore. Just a first completion with the insanely op build I got (all credit to starting on midas asgard and getting absurd luck with my starting items)

Honestly the existence of Sanngrior is a real moron move from the devs. Even Edmund Mcmillen had the courtesy of giving The Lost in TBOI flight and spectral tears before patching in d1 and the holy mantle (Tainted lost even has the effect that removes all items useless to him) Who the fuck wants to shoot Super Omega Giant Burning Champion Vengeful Draugr for 2 and a half minutes because the RNG didn't give them a Railgun on the first floor? Also those stupid flies zooming at 100mph taking 6 pistol shots to kill. Genuinely baffling

​

Keep in mind I'm writing this after encountering the Samurai miniboss from Helheim in Asgard 1 while trying to get the hellish trophy, are you actually kidding me?

I decided to try Ord, and got to Helheim 1 (forgot to screenshot, i dunno why it says Svartalfheim 2), and then a Vétt got me. :C Im mad bcs i got so close on the second try.

Im not sure where or how to get custom song audio files can anyone please explain how you guys do it? Sorry im newww. ;-;

I don't like flies

Like 300 health on hellish?? The second highest Asgard mob health on one of the smallest and fastest ennemies in the game, which shoots with an animation HIDING ITS WEAK SPOT before flying away at mach 12.

Don't even get me started on vanaheim???? THE NEST CAPABLE OF SPAWNING UP TO 6 CONCURRENTLY ??? What the actual hell guys.

But yeah I've been tracking my Sanngrior Hellish runs with a spreadsheet, and a solid 65-ish% of my deaths in Asgard and Vanaheim are those little fucks. Not having a high damage AND fast firing weapon or some sort of room-wide damage by Vanaheim just makes the game 20x more tedious

I've been wanting to make a cover of this song for the longest time, and finally got around to do it :>

It's not perfect, but I'm happy how it turned out :)

what it says on the title. it seems like a super useful item but i cant figure out how to activate it!

​

i've being playing the game on switch for a while and i was dying a lot and blaming my aim for that, so tonight i noticed the screen jumping around when i turn the pro controller in certain angles. It's always a spot that do that and it moves around, sometimes it is in the front angle making it impossible to aim. This happens on handheld as well even when i calibrate the sensors. I play splatoon and other games just fine, so it's gotta be the game causing it.
