New to Hardcore? Here are some tips! 

Just don't trade with Ziz so you don't get cursed

I need all the hardcore tips for my softcore playing

You forgot to mention that when you join HC everytime you see someone in the ladder rip, you have to turn on global chat.

Thanks! I have just started playing hardcore now! up to act 8 and so far so good.. definitely taking my time checking flasks, resists, life, I really need to start boosting my chaos resist now as it hurts.

First time playing SSF HC and been playing since betrayal. It's really revitalised the game for me...the amount of times I've almost shat my pants even in acts. No longer a boring slog. Thanks for the vids, Ziz.

i dont even plan on playing hardcore i watched this video so i can die less in softcore lol

This is a great video, I been playing for years and still learning things. I didn't realize harbour bridge was an excellent place to level and have been leaving blood aqueducts to soon

For my money, Yugul is still the most terrifying boss during the acts.

Step 1: Buy the best computer possible and turn your settings down until the game looks like Super Mario on a killing spree

Check your resists after the Kitava fight in Act 10!! Storming into the side-quest to unlock der map-device // your first map, can get you killed, if you are too focused on the goal :).

Nice video, bro. Thanx for alll tips.

He really used the Crash bandicoot die sound in the intro LMAO I love you Ziz!!

A hardcore tactics vid would so helpful, is there a ziz vid for this? It seems glossed over here for basic stuff like 'what is a logout macro and why should you care?', etc, basically one step back from this vid (which I also found very helpful)

I’ve lost more characters in Uber trials. Lost one yesterday to an invisible saw blade

That Crash Bandicoot sound clip really brought back some traumas from my childhood ^^

Truthfully, one of the best ways to adjust to hardcore, is to play softcore with a hardcore mindset. At least for a few characters. That way you can learn and analyze without it costing you hours or days of your time.

What if you're running an evasion character would you get the Jade flaskst instead of the granite flask?

Hey Ziz, after watching your videos I was able to farm red maps for the first league. I would always quit before

I can not pass the guy in the stummick were you colleckt the body parts. Any tips for him ? the beam of him make salot dmg

This is a very helpful general hardcore guide. Would really really love one abou "how to enter AND survive red and endgame maps". I feel like everytime I enter tiers 16 the game goes giga rippy.

"don't die" "good talk".

Is the background song from final fantasy crystal chronicles?

Do you do magic or rare maps? I think Raiz always does magic maps

I love Crash Bandicoot reference!

I would love to play hardcore, but my pc is freezing the game sometimes so it's not an option

I would really appreciate it if you could make a similar video but with SSF tips if it haven't made one already

This is my first time playing hardcore. Went SSF too. So far act 7 face tanking with Jugg Ground Slam

Are there any good ways to farm a Rumi's on SSF? I heard you could get it from the three unique mobs in the Atziri thing, but I've done all my frags and still no Rumi's :(

Including the ones you listed, I skip increased attack/cast speed and beyond for map mods. I wish I also skipped crit mods since I'm pretty sure Drox crit me with an auto and ended my run.

Make sure you got good dps. Doedre and Piety in Act 4 can be really dangerous if you don't have the dps, but so is Innocence in act 5.

here a like just for the intro x)

How important is it to stack up on the defense stats like armor and evasion during acts in hardcore?

i want to start my first Hardcore character and zizaran make a Video at the same day 🤣🤣

Still solid info. Time to try me some hc trade

I have been thinking about trying SSF HC for a while but was always scared to do so. Can you make something like tier list/best builds for HC for players new to HC?

Always tempted to try hardcore until I /deaths

not sure about crab barriers, but you lose ghost shrouds now since ultimatum on block.

That intro... those EYES... so believable. When are you going to star in a POE Live Action movie or series?

Finally decided to play SSF HC and started with your DD build and I am resist caped, elemental immune with 1k hp in act 2 did I overdo it?

Missed tip number one: Always wisdom the box!!

song name pls?

I just want all the achievements, so I finally decided to make a hc character today (after only 400h in the game). I´m in act 2, 700 life and res capped but I´m still so scared of the oversoul...

Smoke mine early can be super usefull as well.

Former hardcore player here, I used to play it but as time progressed I didn't play the game as much (life gets in the way). As the game changed and they revamped the new acts I found myself needing to relearn and also learn mechanics. Not to mention my internet is not fully reliable enough so its just asking for doom to play HC. Now I play softcore and while its not as rewarding to me and feels a bit hollow, I am at least glad I can play the game. Its really become such an awesome game and through people like you and other content creators I've been able to adapt. Thank you for your posts.

Skyrim tavern music? Dat was unexpected

Did my first hardcore run, but died to a 1shot from innocence at lv47, 1400 hp, max resists.

last time i played hardcore i died to the pinwheel on the ridge, fat bleed fell over was not happy

Seeing this during affliction "Never ever will you ever want or have a reason to run more projectiles on your maps".

Going hardcore made me care so much more about a character. In softcore, id normaly play a build until level 90 and then get bored of it and start a new character. This meant I was always broke because I was starting new build every 2 days or so, and, I never really carrd to actually fix any build entirely. Never grinded for end game gear and if I was getting one shot or dying it was just the one off. As long as gear was just “good enough” it was wearable. In HC, Its so much fun to actually even HAVE the opportunity to fix a character before it dies.

I started playing hc today. Im playing a dual wield frost blade block glad (self made). Do you have a video explaining some builds that are good for new players on hc? Builds that have things explained in the video. If this build fails then I don't know any hc build that will have dmg and defence as well like you said.

can you get humility cards form blood aqueduct atm?

What helped me the damn most is just trying the bossfights that are considered rather dangerous (like piety act 4) where some of the bosses abilities easily kill you most of the time if you dont manage to avoid it. (died to piety in my first hardcore playthrough because i got beam'ed even tho i had pretty good defences so ive put that example)

tips from casual HC player. you will 100% be rich if you are keep running T16 in hc trade. I only run magic maps even if T16. many people says you really want to use alch or alch/vaal for 100%+ quantity. however I still sustain T16 maps and never fail ultimatum(it gives tons of money)

also unless you are super confident in the tankiness of your build, just skip dangerous things like metamorphs and harvest. both of them almost killed me on my way to level 90 on HC.

I will try hardcore if I ever get to kill the Maven in softcore.

Started a hardcore group with some buddies recently, 5 bucks per person, whoever gets the farthest takes all. This could be really helpful.

tips : don't write in the tchat during a ritual. tips 2 : don't write in the tchat at all.

If you got tip for lag tell me. I have lost more character on hardcore from lag then from hardcore content. Saddest moment is when I thought I live through the lag but the damage was just delay.

I play softcore and my average is close to a death every 25 minutes or so... I need all these tips

Ziz did we really need this video? You already give us the number 1 tip at the end of your every video.

Wait... you can click the valve in the Deodre fight in the sewers?!??!

OMG I just LOL'd at "titty bitches" because that's exactly what me and my hubs call them!!!!

Praise the Malagnam!

IF you search how to play hardcore poe, you don't get to this video, maybe consider adding some tags or description!

Calm down there Sith lord

I got to 75 as a dominating blow guardian. Went into a vaal side area in a map, opened a door and like 20 chaos spitters obliterated me in .2 seconds

nice so i dont need nasa pc, but 20fps and massive frame drops wont be a problem

Never run a map with multiple projectiles mod, me in the hopefully upcoming gauntlet with mutliple projectiles mod by default enabled, Yes Sir

Ppl saying they wont play hc because of freezes and such are so innocent... That sort lf stuff happens on juiced maps and the fun part about hc isnt that but rather getting to maps and slowly grinding maps. You probably dont even do maps with even half the juice youd put in softcore characters simply because the risk isnt worth it. I have a pretty potato pc and Im on constant 60fps in all acts befores league mechanics (such as ultimatum) start kicking in.

I enjoy the risk of hardcore but the start of this video makes me assume you beat the game before all that and that I should think about my resistances for each boss.

from diablo to this game never once touched soft core id rather lose my character and progress than have 0 feel for completion or goals..

ill start playing hardcore when i have extreamly good internet, and there is no bugs in the game. =)

really really

watching this having died on hc over a hunderd times over the years

Never understood why logout macro are permitted but not flasks macro...

How I know I won't ever enjoy hc playstyle? When I think "hmm, maaaaybe I'll try...?" watch this intro, see the popup and close video. xD I enjoy ssf tho............ Yea...

elemental hit and caustic arrow aren't spells :thonk:

I don't think you talked about Lab, but I believe doing the first 2 Labs as soon as you unlock them will greatly increase the chances of surviving the 10 acts. Izaro is not scary compared to some bosses

Something

Hahaha, my wife herd one thing, "did he just say titty bitches?" Haha, I was like yea there hell, trust me we all know what he is talking about that's all that matters. Edit- quick note ziz is one of the ones she now recognizes, though she clearly isnt into the game lol.

I just died to Innocence :/ I got his freakin balls on me :(

Playing a counter atk build in hc. Its a breeeze

Never play softcore. The trills is not there. All my friends are so coward on x-box, they never try hardcore lol. Thx for all you doing for POE, ziz.

1. Don’t die

You forgot the most important tip: to not play hardcore because this game is a one-shot fiesta.

Pulling noobs for lab carry moneys huh How about bleed flask for dominus and dried lake, that shit kills so many ppl Actually freeze flask too boxes monkas

There is only 2 tips, don't get hit and don't die.

Tip 1:use logout macro like this madlad gamer or just go for standard and stop pretending you are special.

to dont die just dont play

first

Hardcore league tip: Tip number 1: Don't play hardcore

CADÊ A MULHERADA QUE JOGA PATH OF EXILE?

My best recommendation for hardcore is, don't play hardcore.

The best tip would be to NOT play hardcore, just look at reddit for all those funny COMPLETELY RANDOM deaths .... texture streaming / shitty game performance / screen clutter ... there is so much that can kill us where we cant do anything ...

The best tip is to play softcore

Just missclick on softcore :P

No

The intro is misleading because I know what killed you

Tip #1 : don't do it

Tip no.1 dont listen to ziz
