@@joeyghostx when she went sicko mode all my nuggets were killed. I couldn't even deal half her hp as damage. So to avoid that I needed to either kill my nuggets on some other abnormality, which costs more points than I get, or win a 50/50 multiple times a day which requires too much luck. The actual time for a day for me was still under 2 hours, but I'm 100% sure it'll go up to 3 with a few more abnormalities.

Yeah. Unlike most rpg/card games, you actually need to use your brain and strategize a plan in very specific fights. You can't win with just putting the best cards/equipment and hoping you can breeze through the entire game Not to mention most of Library of Ruina's mechanics are RNG based, which is already bad enough

@@tetsuchris9636 I'd argue that usually the RNG dosen't matter at all, unless you're using something like a mass attack or Boundary of Death

@@funninoriginal6054 *Knight of Despair PTSD intensifies*

Tomerry is really the first IQ test in the game

@@tetsuchris9636 Actually, I started from the beginning recently since I wanted to get the achievements and play the game in its final form, you can for the most part trivialize the annoying part of current KoD with Fleche from the Seven Association general reception + Solidarity from Workshop affiliated fixers Key Page if you're confident in your ability to not die. Speaking of Not dying did you know that apparently even after they nerfed the rats fight three or so times over the course of early access people still somehow manage to lose to it? Not even as a bit either, just properly lose to the tutorial fight. Hearing and seeing this happen both inflict a great deal of rage and confusion to me.

"Bad" in this case meaning "Aware of and non-subservient to the Sunk Cost Fallacy". When a game's latter two thirds or more is a quilt stitched almost entirely out of Quit Moments, only the truly self-destructive will press on. Or those who place their entire self-worth in skill at a specific video game created by insane sadists.

@@wifiwodhyde You forgot to mention she HEALS all of her hp in second form. Fuck that fight

​​@@wifiwodhydeYep, on my second attempt I thought I might try using ranged characters to try getting as much damage in as possible first turn. But she ended up losing all her clashes so she transformed 🙃🙃🙃 so that was fun. Once I got good rng to lose a few clashes each round, it was pretty smooth sailing from there. 🌱 I don't remember how many tries it took though lmao

I remember letting her wail on the villain (villain clashes with their worst pages) to decrease her hysteria

I mean, you can avoid it just fine, you just have to let yourself lose clashes sometimes because lol hysteria

After that talk on how guns are bad against competent people from Ronald I'm still delighted to see all gun party just completely dominating EVERY SINGLE FIGHT I BRING THEM IN like God damn I just gave them ranged pages with +1 dice and they just Shred everyone

Fr tho, I put guns on yesod's team (with a bleed stack because yes) and it has a way easier time than even 3 speed 1 pages with melee Who would've guessed putting clash buffs would make the clash master cards would be so good?!?

@@Blitz_Group funnily enough my friend ended up having a similar experience . . . He then met an angel-shaped wall that not even guns could overcome.

Never bring Magical Girls to a GUN fight

Its is not the reason that being ranged attacks means being strong, but in truth that +5 power turn 1 on two triple offensive die attacks can deal too much damage. And the best away to achieve that is with full-stop ranged pages (and later Feint from the Night Awls).

I checked out Ruina myself after watching this video and I can confirm its really fun. Actually just beat Queen of Hatred myself last night.

You should also check out Lobotomy Corporation, made by the same people. It's a facility management game where you extract energy from "abnormalities" which are basically just SCP's with nice organized pages with lore and rules that you have to follow for each one to make sure it doesn't finger blast your entire facility in 5 seconds. Once again, this style creates horror through gameplay alone, since some days you end up spending up to multiple hours carefully managing your facility, which naturally gives you an extreme fear of anytime something happens that you didn't expect. Both of these games are filled with "casual filters" so expect to cry as you try to train yourself to be the perfect manager.

@@mateofamate1387 It's one of those games that I think looks really cool, but I've always been a bit nervous to actually try. It doesn't seem like the kind of game I would normally play, despite it looking like a really cool one. I should probably just give it a go at somepoint.

I thought you just used the 3rd ally the game gave you for that fight to beat the Baron in the first game? Personally had trouble with the boss after him as a kid iirc

@@RemagEnagemato He always died like turn 3 for me The way i beat him as a kid was by swapping his healing with damage

@@RemagEnagemato He was but not enough

WHY!? You quite literally need to move on, get some better cards and come back. Like its DOABLE, dont get me wrong. I got her close using nerfed bleed. but like thats just masochistic.

​@@adithegamer7936because that's admitting defeat. That you couldn't win a fight when the game thought you could.

@@LuminousOriens that's a choice I suppose

You don't necessarily have to build around it. The key to winning the fight is to purposefully lose some clashes and be careful of who gets one sided attacks in. Edit: Okay, certain builds are needed to win the fight. None of the current builds I had could intentionally lose clashes.

@@crazy338866 I've never played this game and i can tell it's just RNG to get you to buy shit.

@@prawngravy18 actually no, there's no transaction in this game outside the artbook which is obviously optional The game just REALLY want you to read and understand each mechanics

@@prawngravy18 N OMEGALUL

@@prawngravy18 nope, doesnt even have microtransactions. Its an offline story type game where ya get your cards by defeating enemies on certain levels, no other way to get them. And also no stamina system. You could theoretically blaze through the game in about 3 days with the amount of content in it. Its an amazing game, just a hard one. Like dark souls except cards and alot of death and sad moments.

It's actually very simple. You just need to achieve the true ending for Lobotomy Corporation and you'll understand everything.

Basically: it's just a radical change in management, and let's leave it at that.

Yeah, might even say the whole thing took quite a turn. It all makes sense in the end.

I just stacked her with debuffs bleed,burn and stuff which required endurance and rng

i just killed this thing, i just put like ALL of fullstop shit mainly the rapid fire one, anyway it worked like a charm and she's dead

​@@wifiwodhydeyou eventually learn that a lot of "difficulty spikes" are just just puzzles where 80% of the playerbase just doesn't read

@@LuminousOriens For me it was just deckbuilding skill issues. Once I got decently optimized decks going, most fights were pretty manageable even up til the end

@@wifiwodhyde r corp is not allat im ngl it was low diff same with liu up until xiao she red mist and purple tear were like the first actually hard things in the game yan and r corp were kinda easy incomparison

Sounds like she's one of those "grind gates". Ratchet & Clank 2 has two maps that are massive didiculty spikes - you're meant to go back to previous areas, get more XP and money, etc, then continue. And there's nothing wrong with that, really. It's also like when you unlock a secret ultraboss early on - that doesn't mean you're supposed to fight it yet!

@@migueeeelet I'd say more of the ultraboss scenario than grindfest. after all, its not like you spend time grinding specifically for QoH fight.

@@zedmanul7472 Agreed

You can beat her fine with the stuff you have when you unlock her, but nothing short of a good plan will have a chance.

@@Sulvr I was at the reverb ensemble when the video went up, and beat the game like a week later. Star of the city takes patience, like, a lot of patience, because every fight will absolutely test every neuron of your brain. Even after beating the game I really didn't know what I'm doing, so as long as you read every passive and don't rage you'll be good.

@@snomsquad1796 Yoo just managed to brick my 70 hour save file after locking an annoying bird in a cage. I don't think this is what you meant, but replaying the game until I'm back to where I was will test my patience even if it's with cheats.

Definetly do. BUT Be prepared for pain, both of this kind and the emotional kind, the story has a few parts that are ... oof Edit: No shame if you can't get through the whole game, but if you get stuck download a few cheats and finish at least for the story, it's great.

@@denodagor lol, this is killing me. I hate cheating in games, but the fights are partly luck-based and it's starting to annoy me. I've heard good things about the story all around though, and that keeps me playing. Is the story really so great that it's worth cheating for if you get stuck?

@@divisionn6380 I'd say play it until you kill the 'Love Town' boss, if you haven't (Cheating or not). That's about when the game hit me hardest. If that doesn't grab your attention then maybe it's not your cup of tea. At least for me this game is definitely worth reading like a visual novel if you don't like the combat. There's a mod that unlocks the console commands and you can just use /win (or something, i don't remember now) to finish fights instantly and just keep going. So it won't even waste too much of your time if you end up not enjoying it as much. Better than just dropping the game completely.

@@countdown4246 Lovetown is one of my favourites Becuase of the tragedy and aftermath.
