Anyone think the ascent is... kinda boring?

[Ketrai]

Like, you just go back through the same floors you've finished with a couple unique room layouts and enemies. You don't even have a chance at fresh items in the treasure room. Which really sucks considering you're moving in to fight a much harder boss sequence than mom's heart and beyond, with much less of a chance at getting extra items. There's no incentive to explore other than pickups and charges... No unique graphics either.

[MerseyRockoff]

Yes.

I thought the same, although I did a gauntlet of runs to unlock every tainted character in quick succession, so maybe I can chalk it up to that. At least Ascent runs are relatively short.

[Ayven]

Yeah, I wish it was more challenging but also more rewarding

[FairyNuff]

Yeah its very dull.

[VideogameAddiction]

You can find new crawlspaces.

[BreakMan]

I actually like it besides random tainted enemies that are too ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up to beat. floors are a lot smaller and it is a good moment to breave between mausoleum/mom fight

[Souren]

I just had teleport 2.0 and got a huge amount of more devil deals with it. That was nice at least

IMO, the ascent and beyond are more of a story-driven experience. The bosses are definitely easier than some of the other endgame bosses.

It IS annoying having to deal with the dialogue every single time, though.

Yeah, especially given you now need to take more than 30 characters through it because of the tainted ones.

Similarly, I had The Stairway one time on ascent (the one that spawns a ladder to angel room every floor). The Beast didn't have much chance after that.

Get the ladder and every floor is more angel items.

the tainted enemies are complete run enders for me half the time. even with fetus in a jar + splash tears + laser rings they just don't die. R.I.P tainted keeper attempt, made it to basement 1.

[Mystic Myotis]

I think it would be cool if they made the backtracking glitchy like in the challenge DELETE THIS.

I bomb through rooms sometimes to avoid how long they take to kill.
