difficulty curve

[Kingspan]

Probably one of the poorest difficulty scaling games i've ever seen. The jump from dark mirror 7 to 8 is absolutely absurd. I got one shot, 150 to 0. by one of the mortar fire mobs. Just terrible, TERRIBLE, game design. Edit - in the first room btw.

fr their difficulty design is just increase stats and how much bs they can pack into one corridor. demon hunter is no longer my most hated mook it is ent apocalypse

I have been hard stuck on 7 for awhile now, almost got it a few times. I can easily get to the second phase of the last boss (dark hero or what ever his name is) and I do not really have issues with his grab but he hits like a truck, had the extra revive with the old man buff (forgot what toughs powers are called) and the revive item so I had 4 lives, after the first one is gone the other 3 were pretty much instant deaths. As mentioned earlier I almost got him a few times though, about 9.

just wait till you get to 8. I had a relatively tough time with 7. took me probably about 10 runs. 8 is so much worse. they add new enemies and the health scaling feels like it was doubled. the new enemies are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. especially the ones in the alchemy area. just absolute raid bosses that kill you with nigh undodgeable attacks.

What build do you tend to go with??...I personally try to take things that have invincibility frames...and/or massive alll over the screen attacks....water elemental with alchemist is one ontop of my head.

Some other skulls are going to require a lot more skill tbh.

I got to 8! and now there are a ton of new creatures... I see the curve lol

I am already struggling at DM 4, barely managed to get to DM5.
Game is extremely cringe with the skull RNG, all the time I get ones I hate like the summon skulls, same with Items. At this point I'm sure that I shouldn't have bought other item unlock because they are garbage and pollute my choice pool.
I think DM should have a little wider starting skull pool to offset how absurd it is.
