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.
what about act 3 though
You will definitely start feeling the heat. Some act 3 bosses are rough.
Minor spoilery balance talk
On 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.
damn, impressive. my ass hasn't even beaten act 3 and i'm 61 hours in lol
act 3 spoiler
spent like 5 hours across last night and this morning to get through the first 3 arenas of coral tower. do not have the motivation to do the boss rn.
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
The 12% came from DLC, so I believe it's just 100% rn. But i haven't gotten there yet so idk
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%.
Very nice! ~~And under five hours~~. That's impressive.
41 hours?

So do I need to play the first game to enjoy the second?
You don't have to but I highly recommend starting with the first, since it's a lot easier and is still an excellent game. The second one sort of assumes you've played the first, so it starts out way harder and doesn't explain its mechanics as much.
You did continue after the credits, did you?
Wait does this include the speedrun achievements?
No, but I'll do those at some point.
