I've listened to a lot of unimpressive RU-vid presenters talk about this game and inaccurate lior erroneously describe aspects of it you did a real fine job presenting it and getting it all right to the best of my knowledge nice job I'm going to subscribe and look for your future videos also going to give you a thumbs up
thanks I appreciate it! well I like to just play games and understand them fully before making something (and because I like playing games) because mostly it is just all a game of who is the fastest to upload a video to be "Right".
@@GamesGridNetwork hi! I just started playing the game, activated reactor, bought hunter rifle, hammer and got SMG and it shows my defense with one red down arrow - why is that? I will get strong enemies who will do a lot of damage to me now even though I havent even played anything other than turning on reactor? how do I make my defense higher?
@@GamesGridNetwork lol never noticed this post sorry. Just cuz u didnt test it doesnt make it pointless. I havent played in a long time but as per my notes I was doing my nightmare run in hc with a lv8. As to the scaling difficulty that is a real things, as I had playtested it I wanted to share that result. Thank you :)
OMG This is a high quality video with only 1.3K views. Thank you so much you help me a lot. and honestly this is the best video about the game i have ever seen you deserve better my friend keep up the good work
You can get the starting traits later, the Spirit trait from the Ex-Cultist can be found with the Monkey key on Earth in the map where you discover the assault rifle. You use the Monkey Key to open the Monkey door at the end of the map.
I'm still impressed about the whole level scaling to your weapons and armor. so essentially if you make your character over level for one area the very next area is going to level it out. so if you max out your weapons and armor very early in the game the very next area is going to be harder than your max level. Meaning you put yourself in hell for lots of areas until you come across a better weapon. So it's actually better to save your resources and just make sure that your weapon to area is only diamond shaped.
Definitely harder at first but once you get a few items or traits and your playstyle it starts working better. The gameplay difference between the first few hours and more than ten in, was huge to me
Its fun, so though I should cover the things I would have liked to know when I started. The game is fun but the re-roll randomness can be grindy if you want all items.
All i'd say you really need to know is.. Earth and Rhom are infinitely easier than any other biome in the game. So just run earth and rhom on campaign, and then both a few times through adventure before carrying on through campaign. Did the same for hardcore to get all the hardcore campaign rewards. Got to end of rhom, ran a few times. Ended up getting full letos, twisted idol for normal roll, turrets and skulls for summons and soul link ring for summon health regen and then played the rest of the hardcore campaign as a speed run.
My advice to new players is only upgrade your gear if you have to..... like if your lv1 and you pull a +2 weapon then you have to upgrade everything to lv2 since the game now treats you as lv2. I found that on my HC char that I never needed above lv8 to beat normal mode.
The Devs recommend level 4 for Earth World boss (Singe or Ent). I just played adventure mode until I got a summon mod. The first one available in main campaign is always Hollow Seed. Beckon and Iron Sentinal are better. Both are acquired on Rhom. I beat the first difficulty just using Hunter Pistol with Beckon and Assault Rifle with Swarm. Ex Cultist armor for mod duration, galenic charm, stockpile circlet and burden of the follower. Mods charge super quick and last twice as long. Its a boss melter and can mitigate adds. Not recommended past hard as summons lack punch starting in nightmare.
So, do, I upgrade my weapons or just run with level 1 weapons for the whole game? Upgrading seems pretty useless from what I can understand, if not, than what should I invest the materials and all farmed in game?
don't upgrade ever just use your resources to make the boss weapons so you can also try them at any time cuz you don't have other gear upgraded so they will perform the same as any other weapon in terms of scaling
"Boss Levels Bosses have a global minimum level. For example, the world boss of City has a minimum level of 5. If you fight this boss and all your gear is only +2, you would be under powered. You can go back and level up, and then fight the boss again and he will remain the same level as when you loaded in the zone. This is important because it means if you are stuck in one part of the game, you can backtrack and get more powerful. " - gamerjournalist.com/how-does-level-scaling-work-in-remnant-from-the-ashes/
@@jona312312 true in campaign mode. In Adventure mode all enemies will remain at your gear level +1 regardless of world. This makes it the best place to get the World Boss rewards in Hardcore mode.
I’ve played this game a while ago and beat the campaign on normal. My friend just got it for the free ps+ and I was wondering how they updated the power scaling between teammates. I just want to know if I can play through his story with him on my current character or if I should make a new character. I just don’t want to be too strong and ruin the experience. Lemme know if u guys know. Thanks
@@GamesGridNetwork I'm currently re-doing the game with my sister and the gap between her (armor level 20, 250 traits) and me who lost my character is still very obvious :/
Wait, so there is no way to make it easier for you as you complete the campaign or do hardcore modes? Like upgrading wont be benefitial? How do you upgrade your stuff in the most efficient way in the case that it is benefitial?
you will need to upgrade your gear to the max to be able to beat the game fairly (so you can beat the bosses) so after you got max level in your gear the only way to get higher stats to become "stronger" you will need to upgrade your traits and if you do want to use other weapons or armor you will need to upgrade them fully first so you will still be able to face the game normally as you were wearing your max gear.
yeah there's no point not upgrading it but traits are the things that make you more powerful not your gear not really because as you upgrade your gear and and started a new worlds or restart your world it just makes the world harder. trades don't come into that calculation though
oh and like I said when I posted each world boss has a minimum level that he spawns at so if you stay at level 1 boss may still spawn like the first world bosses level five I believe but the world boss may still spawn at a higher level than you you should upgrade to one level below the world bosses and get your trays filled out I'm not even playing anymore but I remember that
Sooooo did I fuck up trying to level up my gear as much as I can right away? I'm still on earth as of now and I have my coach gun at +8 and the rest of my gear is +7
just keep all your gear at +8 and you should be fine but only stupid thing here is when you find new armor or a weapon you need to upgrade it first to +8 to let it become useful in your game.
so are you saying don't upgrade your gear at all I thought to myself it seems kind of pointless to upgraded but what are your thoughts on that is there any real point in upgrading gear. I mean it seems like when you upgrade your gear just makes the npc stronger
I recommend not upgrading it sure does help you first when playing through the games story cuz you don't have that many traits yet to get stronger but with every new world, you enter or create via adventure mode it gets scaled to your current gear level again so it is pointless to upgrade your gear.
@@GamesGridNetwork but doesn't itch world boss have a minimum level that if you're not there the boss is going to scale at that level anyway. I thought I watch somebody say that or listen to somebody say that in a video that like the first world boss is + 5 sew-in I want to be on par with him you need to be + 4 or is that just more misinformation
Hi, just started playing. Can someone please help explain why when I go to the engineer, the menus are empty. What does she need item wise? Also same with the NPC, the scribble. Nothing can be done there in his menu?
you are talking about the girl I think, in the game you will find Items who can then be turned in for mods and boss weapons (the Items are dropped from bosses in the game)
The scaling doesn't matter. A root thats level 1 with 20 health will only have something like 30 at level 5. You have to take into consideration each enemy will have a different level scale. They arent the exact same. They don't have the same stats as each other nor you. In the long run you can outpace all the small mobs and even in some circumstances the elite enemies. The bosses are really the only thing that suck ti fight as you increase your gear. I just got this game last week and have no life the FUCK out if it. Level 250 trait. I've gotten a good feel for it and have tested alot. And besides....the real reason you'd increase your gear is for the mods. I've got 35% melee resistance and 25% normal with my mods. Howler and mantle of thorns. I'm wrecking shit so hard now. It's worth leveling weapons and armor trust me
So if i beat an area with al level 5 gear then sell all before enter a next area and have only no upgraded weapons and armor the game will only have the base zone level?
you will need to upgrade your gear to make the enemies beatable the first time you go through the whole story because it keeps picking your gear level every time you get to a new area so the enemies are stronger then before so if you upgrade you can compensate with the enemies but later when you reach max gear level (what is still 21 I believe) enemies will always be level 22 but because it is now later in the game you will have leveled up a decent amount so you can make use of your traits to make you stronger now so armor.
dude One direction man you said that upgrading your gear doesn't make sense but it does every world boss has a minimum level if you don't upgrade your gear 2 at least the corresponding level you be getting your ass kicked. So you know even the Earth boss is minimum level fiveso you put theoretically reach it without upgrading your gear and only be level one or two maybe and be at a serious disadvantage if you didn't level up. also the campaign doesn't level up until you reroll it or move into a new world. Now again like you said co-op doesn't work the same way so until they come out with the coop changes that's still a mystery
The Devs where very vague about their scaling explanation but it does say you will be needing to upgrade them for the bosses like you said but now also the other mobs enemies will deal a the same amount of damage now anyway after upgrading so if you already rerolled the game all enemies will deal the same amount of damage from the scaling so upgrading is only usefull for beating the game first time and after that it doesn't matter anymore.
@@GamesGridNetwork I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to say but the point is each world boss has a higher minimum. so the Earth world boss minimum level is 5. so assuming you have not upgraded your gear score past 4 or you have not re-rolled the campaign after getting your gear score above 4 that world boss will be level five.if and when you beat it and move into the next to world that world boss will have a higher minimum. This means you will have to upgradeproportionally to that bosses level or you will be doing too little damage and taking too much. And you're right they've been very vague about what each world bosses minimum level is but you can see it on your Stan sheet at the bottom. if you have a diamond on offense and defense than your on par with the world boss and that world campaign. and it's pretty self-explanatory if it's Green arrow's out then you are a at a higher gear score than the world if your red arrows pointing down you're at a lower gear score than the world. and I've actually seen it you know with two green arrows up and I'm wondering if it gets three Green arrow's up if you're like three levels above and so on but in any case if you don't upgrade your gear you will be taking too much damage and doing too little. There is in fact no real good reason not to upgrade your gearexcept in this is what I'm doing on a new character right now I am upgrading all of my trades 220 while keeping my character at gear score four on the Earth. this way I can keep re-rolling the campaign the world boss will stay at level 5 my gear scores for and you know what's plus one so I'm technically right on par at 5 with the world boss and with the campaign so I can keep re-rolling and picking up new tomes and getting you no loot and whatnot while I constantly keep bumping up my trait levelland applying those points to my traits.I mean it's just one way to do it I'm getting a lot of rings and I got a necklace which is pretty uncommon on EarthI think I've managed to get all the events cuz I think there's only three the crazy ass vendor the crazy cultist and the the Hunter at least in the first zone I think there's some in the second zone butin any case you do need to upgrade they made it they made the game in such a way that you have to upgrade otherwise you'll be at a huge disadvantage.even when you're fully upgraded at 20 gear score which is really in the background 21 it's 20-plus won the world will roll at 21 plus one so it'll be 22. But the NPC's don't have traitsso you'll still be in an advantage over them even though they may be a gear score level above you you have traits and by then you should have lots oftrades in fact with a couple of playthroughs there's no reason you can't have every single trait unlocked and fully upgraded I mean from all accounts you don't stop getting trait points until you run out of places to put them
@@GamesGridNetworkbesides dude it's an RPG man. leveling is. and if you don't get that reference what I mean is that's what you doing in RPG your gear up your character and then you get better gear in this case you upgrade your gear and you look for boss weapons to get better and then you gear up those or level upgrade those.that's what you play these games for is getting better gear getting tougher getting more trade skills and abilities so you can kill stuff faster and easier
yeah, I know what you mean after you reached max gear level the only way to become stronger is to level up your traits and find better weapons and upgrade them fully although if you just want to try out new weapons you have to upgrade them first fully to see how effective they really are what kinda is a bummer but anyway that is how the game goes so I need to respect that it is an RPG after all and that is how they work.
@@GamesGridNetwork yeah that's true man you you do have to upgrade them before you can try on because it's scaling based on you know your best six items
"...To clarify, each zone has a minimum level as well. Example: The World Boss of City will never be lower than 5. So, in the above example, if you get there at level 2, the boss will still be 5. If you get there at 5 (which meets the minimum level), the boss will be 6 (and so on). If you decide "OK, I clearly need to level up!!!" and get to level 6, that level 5 area REMAINS level 5. It never changes difficulty unless you reroll the entire campaign. This is so that you can absolutely power-up and outlevel the area that was giving you problems. You will now be doing 10% more damage and taking 10% less damage than you would had you been level 5 against level 5 enemies. Now, if you leveled up to level 21 (+20 all items, the max gearscore), that area that you previously spawned at level 5 would be an absolute joke. You would be doing 150% more damage than if you were "even" and you'd basically take almost no damage... because you outlevel them by a massive margin. Just to be clear, once a zone is spawned at its level, it NEVER levels up again until you reroll the entire campaign..." by tragic (Principal Designer) how upgrade gear is irrelevant?
create a new campaign works like a new game + in dark souls game, the game will scale and the stats will be more relevant then the upgrade level of your gear, its normal, remnant copy and paste the system, but with traits, its never make the upgrade of gear irrelevant in dark souls and dont make in remnant, wtf.
so there is no difference between having my gear lvl 0 and lvl 20? that explains why I just killed undying king with starter weapons +5 and +0 armour from queen xd
there is no difference even if you upgrade the next area you go to or reroll will be scaled to your current one so just don't upgrade at all so you can use the resources for other stuff like building weapons, mods, etc and then you can use them right away rather then upgrading them first to your gear level if you had upgraded other equiment.
@@GamesGridNetwork so basically only reason to upgrade is to just get higher lvl materials from killing mobs and destroying things? that's pretty stupid accually XD.
@@konto-fu9tq no not even that you will get the high-end material no matter when you aren't upgrading, you only would probably need it to get trophies or achievements
@@GamesGridNetwork only problem is that zones have their minimal level so even if someone where to not upgraded their stuff at all they will get higher lvl enemies in new world's so going thru game with +0 items probably would be impossible
There is a site that will analyze your save file and tell you what you rolled for the world in story/adventure (just need to travel to world checkpoint after re-rolling first). Super useful if you need a specific event or item: hzla.github.io/Remnant-World-Analyzer/ Also the hooded merchant who sells metals had a simulacrum for sale for 3K once for me in adventure mode.
"Advanced" tips my ass. Beginner at best, and some pretty questionable advice here. If anyone's watching for tips please don't listen to what he says about dodging. He barely touches on the backstep aka "neutral dodge" and doesn't even mention sliding as a solid form of dodging, which are arguably the 2 most important maneuvers in the game. Dodge rolling or panic rolling, even with low weight armor as he suggests, will leave you no stamina when you need it. Rolling has its place, but it's not meant to be the only form of evasion.
yo man you could have commented a little more formal plz cuz the doging roll tips you give here can help players but doing it like this will make it sound that I am the bad guy right here and you are the good guy here what make it look bad
@@GamesGridNetwork I just thought your title was kinda clickbait man that's all. I'm not calling you the bad guy, you just gotta understand how good sliding and back stepping are. Back stepping into a melee attack also makes it easier to get enemies in a stun lock combo, apply status quicker and safer, and most enemies are easier to deal with if you slide through their attack while turning around so you start shooting them from behind/back of the head.
@@gho5tblaz349 the game is like a year old just like the vid there I can't really change what is in the vid and yes your dodging tips do help and they work I do that myself when I play remnant but I haven't really played it that much anymore, and the title is so that people will be interested to click on it as everyone does I mean then you are doing something wrong I would say so "clickbait" is just a normal thing tbh now.
I still think it is way better to just focus on ranged build cuz some enemies and bosses are just a pain to get close or you can't even get close for some bosses, but do what you like yo it is your game ^^
