With that being said, if you are lucky enough to get two mimics within your first two freebie tries (not that it happens very often), I would recommend you to go for the x2 multiplier to double your shield. Might mess up your potentially good attempt, but on the other hand, you got a 1/3 chance for a guaranteed perfect run in this rare situation.
I tend to do so too, if I only get one mimic in those first two. With two regular chests, it isn't worth it in my mind though; too little to gain, too high risk of failure, if there's still four mimics on the board.
Besides that (and the obvious advice to always double the shield if possible and not to pick the dark divinity for the second x2 which disables this), there is really not much to be said. Find a pattern that you like and stick to it or choose a new one every time; it doesn't influence the outcome.
Consider virgin sacrifices or something like that maybe...
Nexus mods has a "Perfect chest hunt" mod
Yeah, it is, but if I have fun out of it and I'm not harming anyone (as it's a singleplayer game) does it really matter dude? I don't have fun in the Chest Hunt game getting 2 chests then a mimic (Highest I got was 5 iirc).
Let people do what they will, I'm just offering the dude a solution if he wants it.
Which is basically regarded and mods being power crazed. It's why I don't enter discord communities for games, the stigma around someone modding their own singleplayer game for their own amusement is crazy.
Though as long as it does not lock me out of story developments, I would not feel tempted to cheat either.
Wait... So you'd cheat if it means you were locked out of the "Story developments"? Do you mean if the cheat locks you out of something in the game you wouldn't cheat.
For the record no, the mods don't "lock you out" of things in the game.
Well, missery loves company.
I'm pretty sure it's the creator that has them enforce it. I'm honestly surprised it's not a ban here too.
Chest hunt is a total scam. I played over 1000 games before I realised this.
What you are going to get is pre set, and the graphics under the unopened chests at the end aren't really what the layout actually was.
I have tested it ad nauseam - I have had situations where I have gone from top to bottom left to right, and I didn't get a single soul - just coins, cause I had the souls multiplier going (this game is designed specifically to be anti consumer and hurt the player as much as possible, the issue in this case is that I was playing with REAL money and after the investment $$$ wise and 530 real playing hours I have put into IS, I keep pushing on even though I absolutely hate it now, but that will be for another coming topic, as the extra 4% excellent armoury is also a scam - I am on 99 items, 89 or 90 swords, and have the 10% boost and not one excellent, NOT ONE. So for 200+ playing hours since unlocking the armoury, I have been forcibly stuck at a village quest I can't do anything about because the game just keeps giving me other swords bar excellent - this is going to be discussed in depth in my topic if you are interested, as I am taking this very seriously and the complete loss of my money very seriously, like the 3% material drop. Just those two are worth 15 AUD and have not changed statistics whatsoever, well they changed them in the info box but not in the actual real gameplay).
Anyway, so I went top to bottom left to right and got just coins, zero multipliers, and there were 9 boxes remaining (the last 3 rows of 3), and all souls and multipliers were crammed together in those 9 boxes. All perfectly aligned. If you were to mimic out with a decent choice spread, they'd be all over the place (well, it would show you AFTERWARDS that they were "apparently" all over the place). Really that's just what the algorithm is showing you after you lose.
I just want ONE honest game of chest hunt.
If I have 2 souls multiplier (a paid one), say 50x twice in a row for 8 minutes, I can do 15 rages and not hit one chest hunt. If I have no multis, I hit them every 5 minutes MAX.
One day I thought I would trick it and was not boosting and started an 100x multi when I saw the chest hunt key, and I got 4 mimic in a row. I had one before, ( i have the two starter safeties) then I got the X so I thought I'd be safe as I had two further safeties (press the shield after the X2), and I got two in a row, no matter, I hit 3 mimics in a row, there were still 27 chests, and only one mimic on the board. Yep! Next one....Mimic. I get more on standard Chest hunt games than with 50 or 100 souls multipliers. It is RIGGED, completely.
Total and utter scam and I say that meaning it exactly as it sounds.
The reason it is a scam is because of what is displayed afterwards, sort of like a 3 card monty player trying to look legitimate. So I lost all this money thinking it was bad luck, as I was looking to do a massive souls boost.
In any case, as said, 99 armory items, even IF the next one is excellent, it's still 2 out of 100 (on excellent shield), or 2 percent, not 10 percent. I have all the stats saved.
At a minimum I will be asking the dev to reimburse me certain souls multipliers and make chest hunt honest so I can use them as I wanted to, what I mean by this
- You enter chest hunt, There is something behind each case. The pattern is fixed for each game and what you click on was truly what was underneath. If you lose then, that's luck. But 4 in a row out of 30, I am buying a lotto ticket next week for sure, as it's impossible, well it would be if the game was honest.
I will also be asking for a refund on the excellent boost but it won't solve the problem as I have been stuck for 210+ hours and I can't get albert out of the tree as it just won't give me the sword.
I have done thousands of bonus stages, and have broken up 95 armory items as most have been useless.
I got one excellent shield, so, 1 out of 99 armory items, and that was out of ~5 shields total, a helmet, a boot, and the rest were swords, I boosted to the 6% excellent multiplier the day I opened the armory, within minutes, that was weeks ago. Actually it must be 92 or 93 swords I think.
It could be the dev thinks I am rich so is punishing me for giving me money? Maybe he is one of those warped people? I really do not know.
The latest one that chest hunt is doing to me is showing me all the supposed armory chests I missed. The last 5 games I have missed 3, and those games were very successful (non multiplier, same if you have a high coin multiplier, you'll mimic out quick 99.99% of the time - as said, 100% rigged).
So imagine I open 26 chests and each time the single armory item is supposedly in one of the remaining 4. You can't make this stuff up. So they say it's a 0.5% chance to spawn an armory chest in a game anyway, so imagine, it's not even giving me the ability to get THOSE.
It's like in the last few weeks, the game has been specifically altered for my account so I can't get anywere. Seriously I am starting to think this, even though this is my first ever post onb the matter on the internet, ever. Let alone Steam. So I am not sure what sort of grudge the dev could be holding, other than someone is a friend of his here and asked him to? I don't know.
Either that, or the 10% is a LIE, just like my supposed 88% material drop rate when I have whetstone enabled is (another one, if I have a whetstone enabled, and I have unlocked horde giants, there's rarely any giants. it's crazy the way the game has been tuned to hurt the player in every possible way).
But one horde I did have like 10 giants and I got 2 drops. That's 20%. With the Yeti, I often get 2 out of 5 on a loop, with whetstone enabled, even though the game about page says 88% giants drop rate. Again, the extra 3% was a joke for 7 bucks. No matter what, whether I am wrong about certain things, it doesn't change the indisputable fact that the dev is unbelievably greedy. If I pay to have a boost to get an excellent sword, I don't expect to play TWO HUNDRED real hours, no auto clicker here, and NOT GET A SINGLE ONE.
It's become flat out torture now, after starting off as so much fun for the first week or two, and I have a lot more to say about it, I am being very polite here believe me,, but this is masochism at this point, however what am I supposed to do after the investment? If I had played it only for free, I'd have deleted this weeks ago.. Even the coins I didn't understand, lost $15 AUD there because I didn't know about ascension yet and thought I was buying a fixed amount to upgrade permanent items with, Duh.
I think I would pretend the game never existed, accept 530 hours of my life gone, and never look back if he refunded me. One thing is for sure, that is the last cent he gets, ever. But if I tell you what I spent you will smack me. Really it should have been $4.99 AUD for 200 jewels, $9.99 for 500 , 19.99 for 1000. Not $77 for 700 jewels.
Anyway, lastly,
I have I think 20 perfect chest hunts now.
For the first say 12 or 13 of them, I was offered a choice of 3 bonus prize boxes at the end. Two of them had great permanent multiplier prizes, one of them was a double up for the one chest hunt game.
12 n a row, now remember, there are TWO good prizes out of three so only ONE bad one, so 2 out of 3 chance to get a good one and one out of 3 a bad one, and I got the bad one 12 times in a row, which if it was NOT rigged, would be statistically impossible. Ask Murphy. There's just no way.
Now that I got the good prize, and it has been removed from the chest, you get 2x, 3x, or 4x multi bonus prize at the end, SO 2 out of 3 of the bonus chests have the best prize. Which one do you think I keep on getting? Exactly.
Even the perfect chest hunt, there is no such thing, it's just the game decided to give it to you, it's not that you played well or were lucky. You could have pressed any boxes in any order. Makes sense?
In fact getting 19 or 20 perfect out of 2000 something that I have, is impossible also if the game were honest. It would be very, very hard to get. Like lotto, literarily. That doesn't justify the dev showing a fake reveal afterwards and losing almost instantly if any kind of multiplier is active. And remember, I have 2 bonus shielded starter shots, and a shield after that. So.. there you go.
You'll eventually get it if you keep playing. I think the amount I have played chest hunt, that it is like below 5% of users that have played that many, I have played almost every game unless my eye missed it by accident.
Anyway, I am going to give up, I can't keep using all my dragon scales to get a badge boost and then never getting the excellent, and last time I did that I ended up having zero scales and it didn't give me any for 2 days (8 daily bonus eggs). Zero, till today thankfully.
PS on a final note, the 14% stat with ascension badge when boost is not enabled, is also BS.
BTW, I have trashed 20 swords in the past few days, after I bought the further upgrade to 10%.
BUT, even if I didn't have that, 90 swords, 6 percent from the very start, I should have had MINIMUM 5 excellent swords by now. Not zero. And with the boost, with the timing I got it, I should have at least 6 or 7. It's outrageous, really, What kind of person thinks it's ok for someone to sit there pressing the same buttons for over 200 hours to get one item that is 100% reliant on luck but has to be acquired? Make it make sense. This is why I belive the dev is a cetain kind of person, and I am very sad I supported his game. Very, as it's just an echo torture chamber now.
I have more words, but I will get angry so will leave it there, just know chest hunt is total BS.
If anyone else has the same experiences, contact me, I will be contacting Australian better business bureau, but steam first, then Apple and Google, as I have to give them a chance. I am takijng this extremely seriously and it's not funny. It was amusing for a few bonus rounds, but not over 90 swords. And over 2000 chest hunts. Not cool.
PPS it took me about 30+ bonus levels to get my first armory item after the initial unlock that everyone gets when they have the materials to unlock it.
So much for 14%.
PPPS My last 85 or so silver boxes out of 100 have been small cash, when measured with my current CPS, about a quarter of a coin bundle. So about 200 milliseconds play time. And that's supposed to be the special prize boxes. You just can't make this stuff up.
I get 100 ST from a silver box and make 1 OD in ONE, yes one second of play (a thousand ST). It's ridiculous.
Even the quest is called "bad luck" when you have to get a certain amount of boxes with coins. I get more from the brown boxes in the coin prizes than the silver boxes. No joke.
Edit, spelling
So... I don't like to encourage people to cheat, but I am honestly impressed with the amount of data you've gathered through your personal experience. Maybe you should look into that mod on Nexus that reveals the chest hunt stuff. If not to gather more information to better refine your theory (and prevent making a mistake by filing complaints that may not be factual), then maybe just for catharsis' sake.
Don't get me wrong, I fully get how the game seems to flip players the middle finger. I won't forget the time my Souls x40 Multiplier ended literally 2 seconds before reaching a bonus stage special portal. It just strikes me as odd to think that it was somehow intentional, rather than just bad luck (or more likely, poor gameplay on my part, as maybe I could've been more efficient with my speed boosting and got to the portal in time).
