Legendary boons

[Fash Falath]

Are there hidden requirements for legendaries? I've been trying to get Posseidon legendary for 5 runs and it keeps not showing. I have all 3 requirements, and even after mini-bosses the legendary doesn't show up. The worse is that the game gives me "Spare Wealth" instead of the legendary... How is this possible when all 3 prerequisites are met?

I would say you just have bad RNG but...

I can also support that some 3rd requirement boons doesn't give out the legendary but that's just what I've observed.
Like Hydraulic Might, High Surf, Depth Charge doesn't give it. But Slippery Slope easily does.

And if that doesn't help, rush Natural Selection like 3rd boon in Ephyra is Natural Selection that type of rush.

If you're just trying to get it to finish it for the Fated List, one of the trials makes it quite easy to get, and it counts for the list. But yes, otherwise it's just a fairly low percentage chance per slot to get the Legendary even when you have all the prerequisites.

[EgoSonic]

There's supposedly also a % chance to be offered a legendary boon even when you have all the requirements.
So yes, most likely bad RNG.

Pro tip for leggos runs - just use Ephyra to get them, if you don't just reset.
It's the easiest way to clear them off the list.

(If you don't know what Ephyra is, just keep playing)

I have all the Fated List requirements, so I'm just talking about general gameplay here.

I honestly feel like the game is deliberately stopping me getting the Legendary. I know that's not what's happening, and the only reason it feels like it's getting worse is that they lowered the probability some time ago, but the fact that the player can feel like they're getting intentionally blocked isn't a great situation.

IMO, it was fine before and there's no reason to make the Legendary that hard to get. Yes, you used to be able to get two Legendaries in the same run, but they're not so devastating that they break the game. They should be a fun reward you get for planning and pursuing a path: not guaranteed, maybe, but pretty likely. You will have forgone some better boons along the way in order to get the Legendary; surely that's enough risk/reward without adding risk/disappointment at the end?

[EgoSonic]

I'm still pretty regularly getting 2 legendaries in the surface....

It's not for the fated list, but trying to kill bosses fast enough at 32 fear... I understand that it should not be 3 prerequisites = Legendary boon the next time you see that god, but getting Spare Wealth without seeing the legendary should not be possible, even with lower odds of getting the legendary.

Hey, check out the bug sub-forum someone posted a video showing that the game won’t always offer legendary, vow of denial used as example. SGG team response:
“Heyo! My understanding is, even when all other options are exhausted, Legendary boons do still only have a chance to appear. (I don't know this for certain, but it aligns with what I've seen before”

It was deliberately changed in one of the early patches to not be a guaranteed legendary when exhausting other boons precisely because with the banish vow (don't remember the name) you could very easily guarantee it.

Thus adding the % chance to see legendaries even when having the pre-reqs.

Everything seems to work according to design....

It appears to be the case... Unfortunate that the design is purposefully frustrating

Check the character list then click the character you want to see the boon list. It will tell you what you need to have a legendary or duo appear. And if you have the Forget-Me-Not unlocked on your cauldron, you can mark it so that the components of it will be marked when they appear.

OP stated "I have all 3 requirements", so he knows this. The question was if there is another, hidden requirement, given that "spare wealth" is a failsafe to be offered when there are no boons left

The hidden boon is "lit a candle to RNGoddess and pray for her" hahahah

This probably applies to duo boons as well. The only thing I'm missing from the fated list is Poseidon + Hephaestus boon, and I've tried to weaponize Vow of Denial to get it only to be slapped in the face with Spare Wealth. I thought it was a bug at the time.

There's an issue with this duo that Geyser Spout is bugged. So it should be Tidal Ring + Heph requirement.
But if you're already doing that, gotta say that duo doesn't pop out easily like it takes takes 2 or more Poseidon/Heoh boons more.
