What a game. I guess now I have to wait 7 more years for the DLC.

Fuck you, congratulations. Back to hunter's march for me....

Hahaha, have fun.

If it's any consolation, I did find act 2 to be easier than act 1. Keep at it.

You will definitely start feeling the heat. Some act 3 bosses are rough.

Minor spoilery balance talkOn the other hand, act 3 feels like the easiest one to cheese. You gain access to really powerful tools, some of which can be spammed to just annihilate harder fights. Once you have fully upgraded tools you can let it rip.

I'm 9 hours in and just beat Moorwing (annoying... took me between 10 and 15 tries) and Sister Splinter (beaten on second try!). I love this game. So carefully crafted. Full of little touches everywhere. It's a delicacy

Bravo. How many percents does it have ? I remember HK went to like 112% ? although that might have been with the extensions

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The 12% came from DLC, so I believe it's just 100% rn. But i haven't gotten there yet so idk

[–] popcar2@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's only 100%, the original HK went over due to updates. That said, bestiary progress doesn't count towards percentage luckily. You do not need to kill every enemy to get 100%.

Wait does this include the speedrun achievements?

[–] popcar2@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

No, but I'll do those at some point.
