Two things: 1) You must have at least 1 curse in order to use the mirror that rarely spawns as it takes you to the "Black Market". You can't use the mirror without at least 1 curse. 2) You can get (essentially) infinite coolness with the Crisis Stone and the Cigarettes. Every time you reload with the Crisis Stone you are briefly invulnerable to all damage. Every time you use the Cigarettes you take a half heart of damage for +1 coolness. Essentially, you trigger a reload of your starter weapon and then immediately use a Cigarette and repeat until satisfied.
Another trash S tier item is Gun Soul. Every time I get this item I'm like "c'mon, not you again!". Plus for a high-tier item it's surprisingly common.
Quick thing about chest magnificence: Chest magnificence has no effect on the items spawned, it only affects the odds of whether or not another A/S chest will spawn. Opening or breaking the chest reduces chest magnificence, but leaving it unopened and unbroken, interestingly enough, will affect the odds of an A/S tier chest spawning for the rest of the run. Therefore, breaking and/or opening every A/S chest you come across is a good idea in order to maximize potential for A-tier and S-tier chests. Aside from that, this is a solid explanation of these stats.
Good video. I think it would've been nice if you also showed some examples of items that increase coolness just to make it a bit more demonstrative. I can imagine a newer player watching this and going "Uh, so how exactly do I increase my coolness?"
it was a cool video regardless. i'm new to this channel youtube had this in the home tabs and i play this game alot. but for the new players they can always search it up
I'm playing this on Ps4 and I'm astounded I didn't play this years ago when I first saw it. This vid helped so much in understanding the mechanics of certain and extremely important aspects of this game.
Honestly i just wanna thank ya. I have been looking for a video explaining this better all day for a friend of mine since he has a hard time reading things off of his phone without his glasses. This is the only vid i could find that explains any of this in a short video.
Great vid. Knew about all 3 stats already, but learned something about each of them which isn't something I'm able to say for a lot of videos like this
Nice video, but there's a couple of issues I have with it: 1. Your audio levels are WAY too low. Try speaking louder, getting closer to your microphone, or increasing your volume while editing, because it's really hard for me to hear you! You also sound pretty bored, so I'd try and inject some life into your voice. 2. You forgot to note that jammed enemies always deal contact damage (with the exception of a certain character anyways). Thanks for the video regardless! I just want to see people improve their content is all!
Ok yeah this is pretty much the first video i've ever made so your criticisms are fair. yeah sorry I kind of forget about contact damage because I tend to just assume that every enemy has contact damage anyway.
@@plinius902 its follow you through rooms with a big scythe (the ones white scythes are not this enemy) and will chase you forever until you remove the curse
@@plinius902it isn't a boss, more like an irremovable enemy that is a thorn in the side. I'd be okay with him if he didn't scare shopkeepers resulting in not being able to buy anything unless you trick him into the other end of the map
i can't believe the devs went and made stats named "coolness" and "magnificence" As if a game about bullets shooting guns and you shooting bullets at living bullets isnt fucked up enough
For Magnificence, can you drop s tier items before entering a chest room (if somehow you know that it is a chest room) and have a higher chance of getting an a or s tier chest? You'd have to immediately run back to avoid the resourceful rat stealing your items but does dropping the items reduce the magnificence?
Just so everyone knows. NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER REACH 10 CURSE. that "special thing" is so dangerous even the shopkeeper is afraid of it and closes his shop if it happens and you are in the shop. Just trust me. NEVER.REACH.10.CURSE!
some items tell you, like shades revolver. plus this is the type of game where you should normally have the wiki open while playing, especially with the butt ton of new syngeries.
Ballot (+3) Cigarettes (+1 per use) Heart of Ice (+1) Ice Cube (+3) Iron Coin (+2) Magic Sweet (+1) Old Goldie (+1) Orange (+2 on use) Rad Gun (+2) Shades's Revolver (+3) Sixth Chamber (+2 for each point of curse) Sunglasses (+2) From the Wiki :)
Sooo, about magnificence. Say i picked a A or S item and then i read it's description and/or used ot before, but it's thrash anyway, can the downgrade percentage be set back to 0% again if i drop it? Also, about coolness. How does that work exactly? Do you have to clear rooms without any cursed items, and/or don't receive any damage? Please clarify me on these two stats, because im so confused.
This game is fun, but so very frustrating. I'm at around 200 deaths and haven't gotten past floor 3. Now I find out that there's all this hidden stuff the game never mentions, including that I get kicked in the shins for picking up rare guns? I imagine that it's meant to keep you from getting god runs, but I think it wouldn't be too bad if that happened once every 100 deaths or so just to keep players from feeling totally discouraged
Theory: curse is based off of rage Convict rage ability generates the black aura Smiley/Shades also gets the aura This would also mean that some items (yellow chamber casey etc) are sentient
those are completely separate from magnificence. any chest has a 0.0333% chance of being replaced by a rainbow chest enterthegungeon.gamepedia.com/Chests#Rainbow_Chests
I think they should remove magnificence or tune it down a lot cause getting a run where you get an absurd amount of good stuff would be rare but fun as hell
I agree, its lame in the same way that bosses have a damage cap or how enemies can take different shots to kill because of a health increase per floor.
With that said, there are certain weapons that can bypass damage cap altogether, like Yari Launcher, or Makeshift Cannon. Magnificence on the other hand doesn't lower once you've got an A, or S tier item. The only way to really bypass Magnificence is to pray to RNGesus that you're lucky enough to get a Seven-Leaf Clover on Floor 1.
+Kyo Dong Yeah, that's pretty much what it will do for you. At one time I also managed to get it on floor 1 from a black mimic nontheless and, unsurprisingly enough I was drowned in all sorts of crazy good items including clone and beat bullet hell despite the lag messing up my game. In fact, killing yourself on purpose with the clone is pretty much how you use that item in the first place - it's just extra items/achievements for you and one of the easier ways to get a Lead God achievement (get 5 Master Rounds in the run)
it doesn't show how much you have or gain when the skull appears. you can only guess how much curse you have unless you look up what items or effects you took to gain curse
Пиро болл Oh yeah. But that isn't what hidden stat means. A hidden stat is where you have no way of knowing how much curse you've accumulated. For example, picking up Casey shows a purple skull, but activating the altar that sets your curse at 9 has the same skull pop up.
It's just a preference matter... Keyboard and mouse won't actually give you much other than precisity when shooting. I can barely flawless the first boss with keyboard, but i can kill the lich with a controller, my friends are the opposite. There are no real benefits from one to another, but it's just down to personal preference.
i finished the game like 6 months ago and i started playing again after the update, i play with controller and its actually easy the only hard thing to do is to use the active
