Some questions after 1 completed game
@dev:

1) The spell for finding traps and secrets is a small joke, honestly said: if you cast it and stand before the plate trap you see nothing and if you stand before the secret wall it needs some time to trigger it, makes the wall transparent, in my eyes it make this spell worthless cause you need to stand in front of all walls more time then to find the buttons on your own. More easy would be that a visible cloud or shining would appear in front of a secret button or wall with 0 sec delay. Or even better the secret walls or buttons would appear on the map.

2) I found all armor pieces of miner armor in the mines except a belt? Achievement didn't trigger. Are there any belts? I found no belt in this game, is it so much random in this game? Found also other light armor pieces like a protector armor etc full set and also didn't trigger achievement for light armor set.

EDIT1: Can it be that with the new 1.14 patch a bug was introduced that armor sets are not triggering achievements?

3) If you go inside the last room of the last dungeon then you can't really return and if you finish the game then your savefile is overwritten! Means you can't load the last save and explore the other rooms, why there is only 1 save allowed? Btw F5 is quicksave, is it said somewhere in the settings, i don't think :-)

4) The pupeteer achievement, how to trigger it? Only through poison spit of spiders, the earthquake casting enemies and the last boss?

5) The spider queen didn't appear in the 1st game, 100% sure, cause i started a 2nd game and now queen appeared in the mountains 3 near the black stone . So it's a bug. Or maybe i explored this small area, destroyed the stone, spoke with the ghost and then didn't return to this area, cause i didn't know where the queen should appear?

6) The game is designed that you play it at least 3 times? It's little bit unfair in my eyes, 2 times ok, but 3 times is too much. If you want to uncover all map tiles. In the last passages there is a room where you need to decide which of the 3 ways you can go and it is not possible to enter the other ways, at least you need iron keys, idk maybe i missed some iron keys?

7) How to access the teleporter near the merchant behind a wall?

Overall a nice indie RPG game, not really hard, with some weakness of perk/abilities progression, level 22 and you uncovered only the 1st 5 perks only.

Wait a minute: Does it mean you need to play 9 or more times to get all perks in all 3 tree classes: warrior, ranger, mage? Means 50 level only to complete 1 perk tree? Ofc you could save all points, save and get all in 1 tree, load and get in the other :-)

EDIT2: some graphic bugs:

- in Mines, i think, you can see the top/head floor tiles are making clipping errors, like 2 or more textures are not fitting together and as you turn they are also moving and causing graphic bugs

- in Caves? you could see at 1 point through walls, like no clipping as you turn around left and right

- there is a shadow or smear/dirty glass effect appears as you come from far to near a wall. Like if you are standing 5 tiles away of a wall you can't really see a shadow or fog or grain and then you come 3 tiles closer to wall and you start to see how this shadow/fog/grain is moving. All set to ultra or high details. Unity engine problem?

Hammer Glass Studio, can you answer please? Are the armor achievements broken?

Yes, please give us some time to answer :)

Achievements shouldn't be broken, so you should be able to unlock them. Equipments are random, but not the miner set. You also have a belt somewhere in the mines level.

The teleporter is accessible by buying the DLC for the challenge maps.

Actually, if I remember correctly, you don't need to do the game three times to uncover all tiles. In the level with the three different passages you can find a secret that will allow you to come back to the other locations .

We fixed an issue in an early release for the spider queen bug, the latest version should be fixed. We were not able to repro it on our side, and we never had the "chance" to test with a user that had a save game with the bug.

Thanks for the answers, some remains:

- I NEVER ever found a belt in this game, don't take the miner armor set, take simply light armor set, never ever i have seen any belt in this game! What about Guardian full armor set which comes also without belt, i found it in a secret room and i didn't get the light armor achievement.

- The pupeteer achievement, how to trigger it? Only through poison spit of spiders, the earthquake casting enemies and the last boss?

- there is a shadow or smear/dirty glass effect appears as you come from far to near a wall. Like if you are standing 5 tiles away of a wall you can't really see a shadow or fog or grain and then you come 3 tiles closer to wall and you start to see how this shadow/fog/grain is moving. All set to ultra or high details. Unity engine problem?

EDIT: wait a minute, is it german version maybe, then belt is called here Gürtel, that means it could a problem with the letter Ü, which already appeared to cause problems in other games?

No joke, i start to think its german version problem.

Found also some lines in output_log.txt file, maybe that's the problem with shadows?:

There is only one achievement that has an issue and I am looking at it. For the belts, it doesn't look at the "text", so the achievement shouldn't be broken because of that. Take a look at the guide for the achievements on the Guides section, that might help you.

ok, but i never found any belt during the whole play. Opened all containers and looted everywhere, how is that possible?

What about The pupeteer achievement, how and where to trigger it, the only nice point i see is in final fight?
F4/80 May 29, 2017 @ 10:31am 
It's a nice guide, but that's what only said about armor:

"Also very easy. In the beginning you will have access only to light armour. Later to medium and around level 25 (if I remember correctly) to heavy armour. Simply have ANY set of armour complete (for example complete chain armor), one in each category."

Idk what is wrong with my game version of game but i never was able to find any belt even in secrets.

2 more months to wait for answer or only if it goes on sale again :-)

Well no, :) But we'll double check for the belt and let you know.

Well, 5 years passed. I also can't get the Lightly Armored achievement. I have the Guardian set, also I can buy the Padded set, each of 5 pieces. No achievement.

Solved. I bought Hide set, it's 7 pieces.

If this is an issue that occurs again, I could share the locations for the armor sets, so you could find them and complete the achievements.
