mildly annoying boss, probably the worst boss in the game, but it's not horrible since it's more boring than frustrating.
Umm ok?We don't play videogames here you know?
straight up the most evil fuckign trap in the game
i swear it's the side paths in these games that always have a weird annoying enemy type. these chicks and the hanged skeleton guys
also took out ronin cran and the dried king from last time. enhanced mode changed his sword/axe to be waaay better. removed slow hitter from it, which makes a lot of sense because the item description says its a fast and light weapon.
>>739212507I fucking LOVE this game, it's literally dark souls but good
>>739212507I sometimes think about replaying it. I beat it once long ago. Then I think about playing the sequel but I heard that one made some "interesting" choices gameplay wise and might be worth not bothering with.
>>739214103i like dark souls as well. they scratch different itches in terms of artstyle, music, and even down to the basic game mechanics. salt has a ton of unique features that really makes it shine and stand out from poppa dark souls.>>739215437i'm definitely going to take a peek at sacrifice again, but take it slower.i think salt 1 is worth a replay once in a while, there's lots of weapons and the devs introduced built in enemy/item randomizer and enhanced mode which balances the game a bit better and changes the flags and stats on the weapons. so a weapon that was really bad might have hp leech or extra blades or some other modifier that really makes it work now. but you can always play the original mode too if you want extra OP greatswords
>>739212507Kino series, hope they do a third.
>>739216648>there's lots of weapons and the devs introduced built in enemy/item randomizer and enhanced mode which balances the game a bit better and changes the flags and stats on the weapons.That's cool didn't know that. But I know me. I'll end it with a whip and gun again. I always end up at least using a gun.
This game really needed a map.Also, holy shit that witch boss.I need to do another playthrough. I haven't touched it for years and the dev recently went back to it and did a major patch rebalancing the game and rearranging the enemies.
>>739216824whip and gun was my second character before enhanced came out, steel centipede is great and guns are OP. the gun combo is the most satisfying thing ever, and i'm glad crossbows and wands also get it>>739216731that would be nice. ska studios said they've been working on a new game since 2023, but i'm guessing it's not salt. also nice fashion.>>739217149classic witch of the lake, i think it's the only boss that you really need the airdash ability for. maybe you could tank them with that one greatshield, but i think stamina might be an issue.
>>739212507There are more difficult bosses. Hell, the chimera Third Lamb thing in the same dungeon is worse.GOOD-ASS GAME.
>>739216648I replayed again before the game started receiving official support again, with a balance patch I found. Mostly equalized things but it was nice running something like a dex poison dagger + whip build, and having it actually work. Whittling bosses down with poison DoTs.>>739216731>theyFirst game was made by a couple.The second game was made by the (divorced) man and a "Team"(TM).
>>739217149Three posts and I finally remembered I have a map to upload, dammit. I love this fucking game.Check out The Drowned Tome if you haven't.
>>739217386third lamb's up in the dome and i think it's definitely a difficulty spike, especially after the inquisitor guy who is a complete pushover. imo the early-midgame has a good trio of decently difficult fights, esp for new players. dragon -> tree of men -> piece of shit ass pirate. and then the game calms down a bit>>739217505oh fuck i completely forgot about the divorce. fugg.and yeah almost everything seems to be pretty good now, which is nice. >>739217559i think the drowned tome guy has a lore playthrough on yt but i haven't watched it
>>739217629yah you can skip some spots too and go to the pyramid early for difficult fights.
>>739212507How the fuck does anyone stomach the """"art"""" of this dogshit?
>>739219739not being young helps
>>739219739I would play it if I could disable all the tasteless effects. At least the bloom and blur. Shit is disgusting.
>>739219739it's cute. reminds me of newgrounds stuff ig.
magic op
>>739219872my magic guy is at tree of meni should pick it back up
>>739219852>Me and who
Hi Soph
>>739212507I can barely see, is it the giant boss you fight up near its head? Yeah I had a shit weapon on my 1st playthrough and it was miserable, but on a replay I cut him down easily.
>>739224519That's the tree of men, annoying ass boss.
>>739224642Yeah, I forget if spears suck or I built my tree wrong, second time around I had a 2hand with a magic buff and the whole game was different. Then later I found the gold potion which is the only way to get a second damage buff afaik.
>>739225373spears are fine the problem is that tree of men has 500 slash def lol compared to 100 strike def and 50 in all elemental (but 250 fire and -40 electric in enhanced mode)so you were 100% getting cucked by the damage type, which sucks. also yeah goldenwine and magic is insane
>>739216731I liked the first one but was the sequel even good? I didn't play it. I was so fucking disappointed when I found out how generic the bosses in the second game are>salt & sanctuary bosses>alchemist who doesn't really fight but constantly debuffs you>a giant mechanical monster with bodies hanging off it>three ghosts with an axevs.>warrior>mage>dragonis the rest of the game any better?
>>739225638No, it's a pretty bad game
>>739219739what's wrong with the art?
>>739225638I like the designs in the sequel because it feels like a nice shift from grungy to more colorful fantasy. I like the aesthetic of 1 more for sure, but it's just nice to see them shift into another look. It's kinda like going from dark souls 1 to 2 (i like how ds2 looks, forgive me). However, there's so many dude bosses in sacrifice because it's about hunting mages. Some of the mage designs are really cool but unfortunately they all ended up as bipedal dudes. I'm pretty sure there's no mages that go outside of that basic human structure. The non mage bosses are also a ton of dudes in armor. There's some non bipedal bosses, but i do feel like the variety is hindered.
>>739217559This game has a great world. Actually much better than almost every game in the "Metroidvania" genre
>>739216731They didn't really do a 2nd. I've heard Ska Studios doesn't really do sequels, they just move on to a different genre. This game is the Castlevania/Souls genre, and Salt & Sacrifice it seems is supposed to be much more of the Monster Hunter/giant field boss in an mmo style of game.Also I played Charlie Murder and I don't remember a damn thing about it
>>739219852this game is fucking sick btwtwo distinct and cool characters with great art, combat, and music
>>739219827Oh so you need to be retarded and jaded to appreciate it. Got it.
>>739226986YES
>>739212507For me, it's the Ashen Effigy and Umbral Partisan
>>739227247I just learned taht the ashen effigy has thorns on it and that it stacks with the lamprey armor to reflect damage. Pretty decent tanky build if you upgrade the armor all the way
>>739215437I went a on replay-spree after the balance update dropped, and got all the achievements.The game's fast pace, almost arcady-feel makes it very easy to just blast through areas. And it's not so long that it feels exhaustive.
