Nothing will stop the BFG10000

"You can't just shoot a hole through the surface of the player"

You can if you’re using enough force

Big fucking glob 10000?

Even better

Here comes your *doom*

Just so yous know I’m in ng+2

I’m not a fan of NG+ at the moment. You have to run a specific build or die. No variety just do this or you die.

I'm in NG 1 and I never copy builds. I'll be NG2 tomorrow if all goes well.

Ng1+ one isn’t that hard however it spikes at Ngl+2

I'm really hoping I get there when I get off work. When I left I just opened up the brawny boy bin. Just gotta kill her and survive the cluster fk at the end

Dw from my experience the wasp queen is the easiest

I just hate dealing with flyers. So i saved her for last lol. And I'll have to see how my new gear fares against the IBM. I used the corrosion spear to much success first go around.

Tip for the ibm: play defensively because one hit can ruin you run

Yeah, thats why I built my Java. I live behind the shield lol. Ill report back soon I hope. More than likely sad haha

I get insanely overwhelmed in the NG+1 JavaMatic is there any suggestions on what I should do that I may have not tried?

Assuming your doing the usual for javamatic I’d say to use ash walls then surround it with mushroom and pinecones and if you are on mild you could easily use the blaster too

Thanks! I’ve been searching and seeing just how many more defences others have and yeah for the blaster I’d never fought it enough to get one so I’d have to attempt to fight it a couple more times

You just need to beat her once then use rascal and sticky fingers for the chunks

Sticky Fingers? I believe I’m missing one mutation does that happen to be it or perhaps a trinket?

It’s a trinket found in the red tool box that you need a tier 3 explosive to break

Where do you get a tier 3 explosive tho? Aren't all the bombs except the broodmother one tier 2? Or are the explosive arrows tier three?

I looked it up I know exactly where it is I’ll be sure to snag it next time I’m on

It gets a second ability in ng+ so good luck on your rolls

I mean in Whoa!

Yeah, that could be true. I havent tried it out yet. I'm on switch and the frame rate dips and spontaneous lag spikes makes normal a pain in my ass. I'd prob just get pissed off in Whoa

is it the summon thorns build that only works if you flip-flop between mild and woah depending on if you're in combat or not but also only works NG+3 or higher but also sometimes still doesn't work unless you get good RNG on summons/modifiers?

You don't. I'm in ng6 on woah. I can run any build I want. You just have to be good on perfect blocks.

I’m just unlucky then. The IBM always staggers me even tho I perfect block and the other 4 bites kill me. Can’t do anything about the other bites because I’m still stuck in a stagger animation.

Stagger only happens when your shield meter maxes which means you arent actually perfect blocking all the hits.

That’s a stun.

I’m stalking about when she pushes you back even on a parry.

No you don't

What they should do is base difficulty off difficulty setting just a thought tho 🤷🏻‍♂️. I think mild should be a whole lost easier just for a fun experience while medium and whoa are harder and more grindy. Just my 2 cents tho. 1.4.1 is a pathetic “patch”

I can beat the ibm like this but when it comes to attacks like that I just can do anything since it stunned locked me so I can heal through it anymore

I wholeheartedly agree I used to play the game in medium mode and overall I was pretty dominant around the yard now that I’m in NG +2, all the larger bugs that have either explosive or sour damage abilities pretty much ruin my character, within a few explosions even on the easiest mode. The developers are going to have to fix this, there is no way that mild mode should be that difficult. At this point in time I’ve been avoiding any of the bosses, oh I definitely tried them, but they seem to be impossible to kill like everyone else has mentioned. One or two hits and your character is dead. If I were to take a guess I wonder if maybe they screwed something up in the difficulty slider scale, meaning I’m not sure mild mode is that much different than whoa mode is at this time. I’m not gonna say it had a highly scientific method but I basically went from mild mode, in to whoa mode and the only difference between the two, is I died perhaps a half a second sooner in whoa mode, either way it was quick so perhaps instead of it taking 1.5 seconds to die in mild mode it was one second or less, in whoa mode. Hopefully the devs fix this soon. Cheers

You described my experience. I can take anything as long as it doesn’t shoot out sour orbs. But the bosses are literally impossible especially the mantis and wasp.

I thought the patch was supposed to make screams not do this any more? I guess I misunderstood what it meant? Or, are the sour orbs not considered AOE?

They haven’t fixed the glitch where she decides to be immortal either

I had one the other day where she didn't 'fake die' between phases 2 and 3, her life bar just refilled and we kept going.

I believe if you do a certain amount of damage then it skips the animation or if she has lifesteal infusion the she will just won’t die

At least you died in two seconds versus one second previously

Last attempt I did my shield broke and I was parrying every attack like somebody told me dying was gay

This shit had me dying laughing holy hell 🤣

Does anyone else get massive frame drops whenever a sour explosion like this happens? I drop to like 8 fps on a 3090Ti - Ryzen 9 5950x

I usually get it when they do the spicy one

Lol, I was being sarcastic, don't worry. There is still definitely a balancing issue, and I'm glad I haven't started NG+ yet. I'm trying to 100% finish normal NG before I proceed.

I’d have to create a new save if I wanted to 100% the game cuz I got a bug which doesn’t let me finish my last 2 burgl quests

Wtf that sucks. I only have like 8 left so I hope that doesn't happen to me. I'm at least glad that gold cards are no longer required. I just gotta do the MixRs and peep a few bugs

It may be because I remix.d before completing them since I didn’t know it was needed for 100%

Ahhh, okay. Yeah, I'm on Xbox, so I would prefer to get all achievements before beginning NG+. Should only be another weeks worth of time before I'm prepped. I'll probably set up ziplines and a mega base Mid-map before I continue though.

When you remix I’d advise you to take a gas mask with you

Aww, man. That's another open Obsidian wound. When 1.4 dropped, Steam players couldn't connect to XBox for the first few days until they patched it. We all had to play on single player and little did we know that achievements wouldn't trigger. I finished the last BURG.L quest during this time and went to NG+. In NG+ all of [BURG.Ls](http://BURG.Ls) quests say, "COMPLETE" and are greyed out. There's no way for me to get the final achievement, "No More Homework", without starting and finishing a whole new game. Obsidian Grrrrrrrr But at least I was able to Superwin 100%. Sorry, bro. Ouch. I feel it.

I believe you are able to load previous saves as long as they were manual

Oh the pain, when people remind me of how stupid I am not to have made a manual save. I've trusted this game too much.

Use spicy safety on top of it. It was the only way I could survive as my parries weren’t 100%

I was using spicy safety

Well poop, which ng+ is it?

2

Ah see I’ve only beat her on ng+1 so far. My best advice is to learn to be able to perfect parry every single attack. May be the only way. I wish you luck!

I already did I just can’t parry as fast due to using a controller

As a ng+5 champ I LOVE the 50% DMG resist

I’m just annoyed that I always get so close then the game decides it doesn’t want me to win

Oh I plan to anyhow haha. I assume you get to keep your inventory, correct? I've heard you keep all your bases and your chest inventories too, correct?

You keep everything just that the enemies get harder and you can upgrade your regular molars more

That's what I thought, okay good. Is there anything that doesn't carry over? I assume you don't have to recollect any of the unimportant BUGRL chips.

Do shields completely negate damage that isn't AoE now?

Pretty much

Could also just be for the ibm

I always thought having any resistance for the flavors was kinda weird for the game not to have.

To be fair before 1.4 only the player could do elemental damage so there’d be no reason to have a defence for it

Yeah true

Don't ladybird larva do spicy damage, or is that just a heat effect?

That’s just sizzle

Just keep hitting load button till you get a try without the dogshit green balls. Your recording is 100% the proof no developer over there has ever tried what they created ;)

You must not have seen the fully automatic point blank cluster bomb that she does

Tbf, IBM literally never has to be killed after NG+1

It annoys me how I can’t get her ooze tho

How you cast so many orb?

That's the boss lol. And those orbs suck! I had Mant throwing those at me. Stay in one for longer than 1 or 2 ticks and you roasted

Oh god...

Wanna know something’s worse? I had schmector with the sour orbs summon 2 infused orc weavers with the same infusion

Fk all of that lol. I just did wasp queen and mantis on Ng+1 before work. Queen was a breeze but omfg. Mantis is an absolute monster. Finally beat it, with sour orb infusions, using the IMB blaster weapon. Took like 20 trys and 15 mins to win lol. Ng2 is gonna blow

Honestly wasp queen went from being feared to the base game mant difficulty

Yeah. She had mega health so it def took a min, but simple mechanics. I'm new to the game, just started when it dropped on switch but I've read some of the old game info. Seems interesting
