The Chimney

Who thought this thing was a fun idea, my god this is beyond boring. Spam basic enemies, lightning crystals, and an instant death field you run from for like 5 minutes straight.

Git Gud. But seriously those enemies are slow as hell, you are not forced to fight a single one, and with even a single movement speed item you can outrun the spawns and ride the bottom death box.

I did ride the bottom deathbox, yet then get swarmed near the end and can't kill them fast enough. Regardless of how simple it is, it's boring design. I want a fun boss, not a walking simulator.

Oh no a single fight is a cinematic fight where you gotta outrun death in the jungle exploration themed area. Oh lord what are we gonna do!!

Cinematic? What? It's just red ♥♥♥♥ on the walls, stone, and lightning. If that's cinematic to you, you're a bit simple.

Has no actual argument for the poor design. Of course you'd be a fan of it.

I enjoyed it, and I've already had one hardcore character die because of it. Having dungeons that don't end in either a boss fight or a non-puzzle sequence of finding the item is good. The one part I criticize is that the bottom ring of death is a little too high up, I have nothing improving my speed and I can still outrun the ring too quickly. I get it's there so people don't find some gap to sequence break early, but I got to the bottom and waited for a full minute to be able to walk on the main floor 3 times the normal way.

I would say it's not good, it's not engaging it's a slow boring thing that is in the way. I don't play games similar to souls like to then slowly walk down staircases avoiding exploding crystals and melee enemies, and occasionally shooting branches. I want a boss fight.

Well it's a good thing the Chimney is a side dungeon with no proper exit, so you never need to do it unless you're a completionist or really really badly want that mod. I didn't come into this game to expect it to be Dark Souls, I expected it to be Remnant, and I've been surprised with a little bit of Resident Evil and Dungeon Siege on the side.

To be fair Remnant 1 did not have any of these gimmick areas with instakill stuff attached to it.
Same with the Lament, these two bonus Dungeon are a hard skip on Hardcore for me.
So many easy ways to die without fighting dosent realy fit Remnant at all.

Its an ok alternative dungeon if you play on normal, but i still prefer a proper Bossfight.

Remnant isn't known for it's staircase bosses so, not sure what that would have to do with anything.

I thought it was a nice change of pace. Definitely different than any of the events in the first game.

Eh, I can see that perspective, but I personally am hoping for just bosses, not weird pseudo puzzles.

Even bosses can, in a way, become boring eventually. And I certainly don't want them copying Elden Ring and reusing bosses if puzzle rooms would be replaced by more bosses.. With adventure mode farming we're already going to have to fight the same bosses multiple times. It's just kind of nice to have a puzzle room instead now and then.

I'll do it again when it pops up for me. There was also a purple item somewhere in that room on my world that I never figured out how to get. Looked like it was in the ceiling somewhere.
