Got N'erud as starting world, should I reroll ?

[Buurt]

I am not a Remnant veteran or anything, I got N'erud as starting world and have to say it annoys me very very much and after searching in forum it seems like its the worst planet for many people....
should I reroll it or stick with it and pray it gets better on my low lvl character ?

i got it as my starting world, I have to say of the 3, it's the most boring overworld. The dungeons are alright though. You're going to have to do it eventually, you CAN reroll, or you could just get the suck out of the way now.

I go it first and it was a rough intro to the game, I'd re-roll.

Got N'erud as starting world ( Veteran Diff, Handler class, first day pre release ).
No issues so far.

no, nerud is the best planet to start on, you get a lot of usefull items but it's mostly a defensive item planet.
It has the lowest amount of nonsense from the 3 planets and it hasn't any incredibly stupid puzzles like the other planets have.
it's also pretty nice to see the open areas or the sci fi dungeons, much easier to traverse.
It also has the lowest amount of dialogue and cutscenes.
it's more enjoyable from a gameplay point.
But it might also be the hardest from a new player perspective but there is no frustration

I got Nerud as starting planet and loved it. Actually stayed there in adventure mode for a few times just to experience everything. As much as I liked other zones I wish Nerud had 5 - 6 more stories.

Love N'erud !!!

N'erud is actually very good for loot. I recently rolled it for fun on a new char and i got like 6 items in my first 2 stops. Also the open world is very easy to control the enemy waves on the field and has lots of valuable iron to pick up - at least in my runs..

The robots can be annoying but basically every enemy type in that area is easy on range. No one really gets close to you, except the zombies, which are slow. Shoot off the legs when they come close to slow them. The roaches are kinda annoying, cause they love to swarm you, but again.. keep distance, fall back and wipe them out in a natural choke-point, like a doorway or something.

The elite mobs can be tricky. The flying eyeball thing is the most annoying imho, but hit the weakpoint and double roll the laser sweeps.. That one, and the giant cockroach, because it is fast as hell and also loves to swing at you with a huge reach. but it pauses after each attack to give you time to deal damage.

In N`erud you have often catwalks and multiple levels. Use those to your advantage. Mobs will always walk the "official" ways and not jump down onto another platform like you can. I chees elite mobs with making them run some extra miles. ;)

2 words for you: Engineer Archetype

If you haven't progressed far rerolling will have little negative effect for you if at all so feel free to reroll if you don't like, you will get there eventually anyway.
N'Erud imo is the the most difficult as a starting world especially for those not used to game, plus if you got Seekers storyline you are up to one of more difficult world bosses in game. However there are some good loot to pick up and if you are lucky you may get some nice combo that would set you up for early game, for example stamina use give shield, shield give high hp regen, extra dmg and life steal... but you need to get lucky to find all of these in one run.
Another thing as already mentioned is Engineer class, its all about its turrets but its very strong even without any setup, very good for early game but later too if you like that playstyle. Have a look at some guides otherwise you won't find it as it sits in specific tile out in fog on 2nd open area.

I deliberately re-rolled my campaign until I got n'erud, just so I could get the engineer.

It's a very effective character, and loads of fun. Also increases your survivability, since you can deploy your turret, and then concentrate on dodging bosses and other tough enemies. Your turret will be providing the DPS while you concentrate on staying alive. It's how I beat the super tough boss mentioned earlier.


In addition to the mobs described by PRODIGY, one of the most lethal minibosses is literally a ball of flesh. Like a deflated football. When it's charging at you, you need to shoot big metal plates on it's body, usually on the upper right side of it's body as it's charging at you.

You can blast the plates off, stunning it, and exposing a soft chewy center. It takes extra weak point damage when you hit the center.

Dodgeroll into and through it to avoid it. If you try to outrun it, it will literally steamroller you. The thing is covered in arms, and they will start beating on you. It's usually lethal if it backs you into a corner.

I rolled N'erud as my first world and I didn't find it to be too bad. Thinking about it I can't honestly say what world is the 'easiest'. All of them have encounters and bosses of various difficulties. While Sha'hala is one of the harder World Bosses the rest of the world is about the same as the others imo.

I'm glad I got N'erud as my first world because it gave me a lot of stuff I like using.

[Eudicots]

Nerud was my starting world and I really liked it because I was able to get multiple weapons, armor sets, rings and amulets without having to look up guides. I think it might have the easiest puzzles for me out of all the worlds.

[MrLuckless]

I'd honestly say you should re-roll. Reasoning being is that the map itself is very large, and you will be prone to being molly-whopped by enemies you both did not see nor did not hear coming from various angles. Other reason is that of the 3 possible starts, Yaesha has the highest potential amount of chests and therefore loot to help boost your run if your starting anew. Losomn also has the benefit of being almost as resource rich as Yaesha with marginally less difficult bosses and dungeons. Ne'rud suffers from a lot of samey looking areas that just bleed into each other. One dark purple hallway is the same as any other dark purple hallway.

Oh yeah, and if you get the Seeker's Rest, you have exactly 1 hour to finish up anything you didn't complete before defeating the world boss, because that place is going right back into a black hole just like the Custodian said he would do. Or you have no time if you used the override key, so say goodbye to all that possible loot.

[Atma]

I will say this game hits different when you don't start on N'erud lol.

Reroll it if you dislike it. Hopefully by the time you have to do it, you'll be a bit stronger and it won't be too bad.

If it's your first character it doesn't really matter which one you start with. N'Erud is actually wonderful as a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, and the lore there is amazing. Thematically it's one of my favorites. It's just that the overworld is *massive*, so there's a lot of running around. I think N'Erud's problems are something you come across with repetition.

The other worlds still stay somewhat interesting and fun, but N'Erud, especially once you've collected most of the secrets from that world, becomes a bit of a chore. Because of the massive size of the overland map, the RNG location of the dungeons, all that elevator waiting, and the tendency of so many enemies to keep sneaking and attacking from behind you, or just spawning 360 degrees around you... it can become an annoying world if you just want to blaze through it quickly.

Also, thematically it being the most advanced of the worlds (plus lore stuff I won't spoil), it makes more sense for you to get that place last. If this was a game without such aggressive enemy scaling and RNG world generation, N'Erud would absolutely be one of the last places you'd visit in the story.

But I think you'll probably have plenty of fun on your first 1-2 playthroughs regardless of which order the worlds come in!
