Hit the wall in the Mega Lands

[onewhofound]

Been cruising right along for a month now, and I can't seem to get my Adventure mode out of the Mega Lands. The Beard verse is SO MUCH higher than anything I can handle even in manual mode. Any suggestions?

My Megalands gear is fully maxed, as well as all the titan gear I can access up to this point, I've fully completed the Basic and No Augs as well as do the No Equipment challenge once.

After megaland it's the titan (UUG), not the zone after it.

Mega land is where the newbie's fast track ends, meaning that you will need to squeeze bonuses from everywhere (just don't spend exp on adventure stats) to continue to progress.

Thankfully there is usually a fairly big bonus that is mostly untouched at that point and it should be enough to get you to UUG.
That bonus is from the first challenge and your current stats should be more than enough to clear it repetedly (until you maxed it) with very short rebirths.

Since you've already completed the Basic Challenges, you should work on your NGU Adventure Alpha. Don't stop at the diminishing returns level (1000). Also, keep doing regular rebirths to stack permanent bonuses on your Adventure stat Beard.

Even then, though, don't expect to get dramatic bonuses when you do break into the Beardverse: the equipment there will need levelling and boosting before it becomes better than what you already have. At this stage, the game slows down a lot and 'sniping' zones becomes much less feasible. Rebirths become longer, more Challenges should be done, and all unlocked features (at your stage, Perks, NGUs, Ygg, Diggers, Beards) all need to be tended to.
