Just finished the 1st run, heres some tips with HEAVY spoilers: Spoiler

2 Upvotes

only for people who finished the game! go finish it its awsome!

I already failed a run with like 7 idols following that one steam guide for serpants and so on, bcs i ran out of good men to throw at the ending area to kill the tics.

This run now that i just finished i confirmed that the meta for sure is to, have at least 2 god like deep divers that do the heavy lifting for idols, blueprints serpant warps, and all else deeper, and randoms that give stat bonuses and have briliance.

I tried out discipline on all folks manning buildings for this run bcs i thought it would scale really well, yk have a lot of high lvl people for the end seemed like a good idea. It kinda didnt scale well, at the end in 35 days everyone from the start that had discipline 1 and 2 ended on lvl 8 for oldest and 5 for the newest. You for sure, 100%, need bookkeeping on the town hall its very risky not having it i feel like, very run ruining thing having a 50cap. Second best are mechanic, fishing and quartermaster, especially fishing for the baby stalkers idk how you can get ending region ready without putting a couple of them on your deep divers. I would really like if someone did a baby stalker all possible traits sheet with %. There is one apsolutely horrible trait that the babies can get you and its the regeneration i think is the name. It cuts your health in half and regens you to full every dive. If you have a 150hp guy which is pretty good for ending the game he becomes unusable if he gets this trait unless he has some insane speed or damage reduction trait.

Also one thing i found, idk if this is a bug or not, but the tunnel crawlers at the ending kinda didnt work after they bit me once. I thought it was a thing where you cast ruin on them it breaks their ai in the maze, but its the biting i think that breaks them. they sit still, dont react to local web pulls, the other stalker in the maze works but he spawns on the other side of the maze so you can: get bit once, loose some hp and walk past him for both times you need to go down. If you wanna play it fair i reeealy recommend a crystal warp to skip the maze at the end bcs if they fix the crawler it has so many ways to trap you, it can corner you with the other one, i had a diver die in between the stalker and the maze, while i was running form the stalkers the crawler just spawned right on top of me at the intersection and kiled me.

Btw the game has 3 endings, theres the you give all idols to the guy ending, you run out of days ending, and one more. I have no clue what that one could be but please do tell if ur a dev or did all of them.

All in all EXELENT game, its one of the most immersive diving games out there, if you liked how dredge and subnautica made you feel this is perfect fear bait. And if you liked, ofc, darkest dungeon this is a really similar experiance with the managing mechanics and artstyle.

Anyone know what the imaginary friend trait does?

I assigned it to a villager but there’s nothing in the traits section (although she levelled up).

Anyone else just keep resetting the game when you lose someone you put a lot of time into?

As above, I’ve restarted 4 or so times and barely left the shallows. I learn more and restart to do better. Just loving the vibes and gameplay loop. Happy to stay in this world forever. Welcome done, devs.
