I followed a lot of the tips in this video, especially with the root mother on earth, and I beat the campaign on hardcore on my first try. I went the safe route and made a summons build by finding soul link in rohm since I had very good boy. This made the whole game soooooo much easier because any damage enemies do would be healed almost immediately. I'm now enjoying my new brainless build using nightmare spiral and it is silly. Thx WryHarpy
@@karlkriz508 Yeah, I usually try and re-roll rhom adventures untill I see the giant obelisk tower generate. Since the ring is guaranteed to spawn there I find that usually to be the easiest method of finding it.
nothing hurt worse than starting my first attempt of the dlc campaign in hardcore mode first and not realizing the first boss breaks the map itself and falling to my death
hardcore made easy. Go to Letos and get the armor, skip the boss. Do the tree event and get the ammy so you can roll in letos. Now the only thing that can kill you in normal difficulty is gravity.
part of my hardcore strat was finding a place to grind out important traits with a decent balance of safety and speed. i came up with farming the root cultist dungeon on earth with the root nexus encounters. You can start the encounter and farm summons until they stop spawning without destroying the root nexus, then go back to the checkpoint to reset them and repeat as needed. if you wait until you have 10 guns, it's a good way to unlock sleight of hand too, especially if you haven't upgraded anything yet. with sagestone, talisman of perseverance, maxed elder knowledge, and elixir of enlightenment, i'd get between 4 and 5 trait points between each reset at the crystal. more by luring the summoner elite for more spawns, but after awhile he starts shooting damaging projectiles instead of spawning so it's a bit risky to leave him unattended for too long
Ive been struggeling with hardcore mostly falling from the bridge in the corsus guardian fight or getting 1 shot by the dreamers ball attack hope this guide helps me beat it
Start adventure mode, reroll until you get leto's armor. Start adventure mode again, reroll until you get alchemist ring. Start adventure mode until you get unclean one. Alt kill. Get all gear to at least +5. Easy way to get empowering loop. Just tedious.
@@WryHarpy Yes that is so true. I actually stumbled upon the combo in my first run and it carrys so well you can forget vigor if you are careful enough. Also think of Leto armor as more than doubling your health due to damage resistance build up.
Just started my hardcore run and if anyone has tips founded from 2019 - 2022. That'd be great. I thought I was a badass in standard running scrap and exp gear in hard mode, rarely dieing. But starting over and having little to no traits, low HP, and stamina to run in boss fights makes a big difference.
Yes, I believe that black rose is acquired upon defeating 100 bosses in the mode. It’s a bit steep, and there is no stat page to see how many bosses you have defeated so far. You just have to keep defeating bosses in the mode until you get it.
Hi. Great videos. I've heard others suggest not upgrading weapons or armor in hardcore as it will keep your gear score at level 1 and because the bosses are always +1 to your gear score , they'll always be level 2. You are suggesting upgrades to armor. Thoughts? have you tried both methods?
When I was writing the part about upgrades, I was not fully certain of the best way to proceed through the campaign while also trying to keep things as easy as possible. The main reason I mention upgrading armor is just to give yourself a little more leeway when it comes to taking damage. I always assumed that the area menu (The small section in the bottom left of the advanced menu for stats, where the white diamond or green/red arrows are) was an indication of area gear score. If it is just visual and gear score does not increase than not upgrading at all would be the way to go. If you hold of on weapon upgrades you can sort of reduce the gear score scaling, but it does overall increase in the end. I have not tried doing no upgrades through the run, perhaps the elemental resistances on consumables would be enough in certain boss fights. I am unsure how to actually check gear score of an area manually, perhaps a program like cheat engine would let me view the actual scaling of the area.
Here is a link to what Tragic from gunfire games posted on the remnant subreddit a few years back: www.reddit.com/r/remnantgame/comments/crs0i3/level_scaling_information/ This is what I remember looking up to figure out how gear score worked.
I made it through the complete campain and did multiple adventures to level up traits and get mods.....and than....i got To the big Yeti boy as my first doungen Boss.....and i Fell of the map as i dodgeg one of his attacks. It was so incredible frustrating. I couldnt belive it as i saw the "you are death" screen. And i thought i got lucky bc icro and obrik are much more difficult as the Yeti (dont know his name). But ill try it with a fresh character after i Grab some mouthtooth 1 hours. At least i have the other hardcore rewards to push through the dlc. I have the Black cat Band on my main character, but i didnt have it on the hardcore character. Maybe its just me, or it was a change or something Else.... But this is (was) truly unfortunate
That is very sad to hear :c I applaud your completion of the base game though! And thankfully you can just make a new character and play through the dlc separately if you just want the rewards!
@@WryHarpy i ended up To complete both campains now. I got erfror again. And i Fell through the Arena again haha but this time backed up my save and tryed again and killed him easyly. It was a little bit of cheating....but when there are such stupid insta kill mechanics in an Arena, its ok i guess. On normal the game isnt that difficult. I play on nightmare normally and completed the Main campain once on apocalypse. But apocalypse is To stressfull for me. I Stick with nightmare :)
@@karlkriz508 Haha, I would have done the same if I got bamboozled by the arena. Especially if you are just in it for the rings and such. And yeah the jump from nightmare to apocalypse hurts, as the increased damage makes many attacks straight up kill you with many of the non defensive sets of armor.
@@WryHarpy it would be really cool To See a Video about the uses of the vaertebrea and especially the Onyx pendulum. You have great knowledge about the game and the description for the items are a bit confusing (maybe only in german and in the original english language its fine*). The Ring of the punisher is a bit confusing too, bc Status Effects. Bc when u Apply a dot there are numbers up to 3. Dont know whats the difference between them either. Counts burn Status as 1 Status, or 3 Times Status, when there is the 3 on the screen. I guess im not the only Person who dont know excatly how to use These items. Greets
@@karlkriz508 Onyx pendulum is actually much better then I thought it was. I may be wrong but it seems to have categories of stack gaining for each weapons. Most semi/auto weapons like the assault rifles and pistols gain one stack per shot. While slower weapons like shotguns, snipers and crossbows gain 2-5 stacks per shot. This makes the necklace actually good for almost every weapon combination! As for the shattered vertebrae, I tend to run it with automatic weapons. You could do full on crit build with the radiant set, however you will most likely be not building the increased critical hit damage highly. Since you are not able to see when you will crit before the shot is fired, you end up losing a lot of potential benefits. This is why if you do want to use the necklace you should either not run the radiant armor, or drop other crit chance boosting rings in favor of other damage/utility options. And finally the ring of the punisher. To be honest I don't use this ring too often, as I mainly play single player. From what I understand it only counts the existence of a dot on enemies on not the extra stacks. So 3 bleed or 3 fire dots would only count as a singular 5% bonus damage. because of the restrictions around building for all ailments, it's better to utilize this ring in coop play and coordinate to get the best results.
Nightmare spiral doesn't come from this... I have every mutator and item except this according to wiki. Beat HC vet and farmed forgotten prison for a hot minute plus 2 apoc a couple of vet runs on campaign. Still can't get Reggie to sell Nightmare Spiral...wait wrong game lol
You make it look so easy, but I was already struggling to even avoid the Iskal Queen's scythe attacks and gave up on the Root Mother arena in hardcore. I wonder if I just suck, if I'm missing something, or if I'm jus seeing the game's flaws such as no I-Frames when you're knocked down to the floor. (Fuck you Gorefist) Edit: meant hard mode, not hardcore
Yeah haha, even I struggle with the Iskal queen still, she is one of the toughest fights imo. I currently have like ~670 hours in the game and I am still dying to silly stuff that I should be a master at by now. Sometimes there are just off days when I end up going to play something else or give it an hour or two. The lack of s on the floor does suck tho lmao.
@@WryHarpy I really detest that the bosses in this game with the exception of Ixillis have adds flooding the arena, especially when on harder difficulties, the boss is hard enough on their own, they don’t need the extra help- again I learned this against gore fist on hard mode. Maybe I was having an off day, but I guess when I’m back home, I’ll redownload the game and try again keeping what you’ve taught me in mind.
I think invalid exits just exist to show you alt-f4'd/crashed. It's mainly a sort of "Look we know you crashed accidentally" or "You turned off the game to miss a death" counter. It's so you can tell if a run was entirely "legit", since the game can't distinguish between a crash and turning off your console/alt-f4ing. As long as the character is still playable you should still be able to earn the hardcore items.
@@WryHarpy I just Finnished my first hardcore through story mode and I got the rewards without noticing but then I started the dlc and lost my character at the scavenger armor puzzle and I was like🥲🥲
Thankfully you can just play on normal to get all the rewards! Unlike the second game there aren’t any extra rewards for playing hardcore on the higher difficulties.
Are you referring to items like empowering loop, ring of supremacy? If so once you unlock those trinkets in Hardcore mode they will be available to every character new and old upon selecting them from the main menu and loading into ward 13.
If you change the difficulty of a campaign your character will remain intact. They will keep all of their traits, weapons, armor, items etc. The only thing that happens is the campaign is re rolled and will be scaled to whatever gear score your character is.
Hopefully soon I can use voice to convey my points for the future of my videos. I know subtitles can be a chore to sit through, it has been my go to for my channel since i began earlier this year.

ty for remnant content in 2021..this game is awesome and your videos help a lot...
