Re: The 2024 Spading Project!

Oh yeah, the counter resets when you change talismans. I learned that the hard way as well. You get the Eternal Grit badge at villain level 100, by the way. If you want to speed it up, the minimum time between encounters is a lot less than 2 hours like normal villains, so just stack villain encounte...

Re: The 2024 Spading Project!

It's my term for the way that Dark and Gritty villains get stronger every time you beat them (and decreased when you lose to them) and that you get their equipment drops at certain milestones of their strength.

The 2024 Spading Project!

Wow, it's been a while. A lot has happened in-game and out, since the last time this forum was active. So, I figured I'd brought something to talk about! New discoveries! Stuff that I've found out in-game recently through experimentation or sheer blind luck. I've already put some of it on the wiki, ...

Re: We need moar aliens!

I'm preeeetty sure the Yith and byhakee companions are legit aliens. Cthulhu verse has a lot of flesh and blood extraterrestrials in addition to the "mythical" kind of creatures.

Also, the Zion's Tears and Elco Hoist creatures... well, I'm not saying it was aliens... but it was aliens.

For the "firebreather" opening:

You follow up with a devestating firebreathing round for 107 damage.

Should be "devastating"
