How long did it take for your first win?

[Jess with a G]

I just beat seer for the first time in about 20 hours and less than 50 deaths

I'm loving the game but guess I'm really bad. Beat Mortor at 14 hours. Really struggling in the Halls

Don't really remember exact time of first win. Probably 12 hours total or so. Just have done my third summoning stone, ~14 hours total, ~22 deaths according to achievement progress.

Its difficult to say since a lot of people follow the game since months and the last two dungeons came out late. So the first win for me for example was beating Konzu the first time.

You can force a faster beat if you unlock very items very specific to get a bigger possibility to beat it. Also recommend not to buy all the throw range upgrades I think. I still have about 15 items and 5 blessings to unlock, but I wont since I think they dont benefit too much.

But since you only loose about 10% gold on max gold upgrade, dying has not a big drawback. If you get a lot of money in a run and then earlier, you still can buy a lot of the upgrades and this will help you a lot getting further too.

10ish hours maybe? Once I switched over to a controller I had a much easier time with the bosses. I was deliberately trying to skip them though, so my first "boss kill" was Seer, on a roflstomp run (Fork, Orc Axe, Masamune, Canis, Ursa, both rings, ferocity/alacrity potions and decent dmg blessings). At that point, the next four clears I did in one peasant takes, until I found an interesting and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ combo of getting bomb-juggled from using a nitro potion. Have another 6k to finish all upgrades, then I'll probably relic hunt or do the othermine for a bit.

First successful run took about 2,5h on my third attempt. Got the upgrades pretty fast because I reached the Core 2 and 3 the first times. So the third time wss kind overpowering for 0 SS.

Yeah, If anyone can do it in less than 20 hours they're looking at a ton of strats and vids. I'm choosing to ignore walkthrus and discover things on my own and I'm just fighting the 3rd boss. I still dont know what that npc in the basement wants from me. xD

Not really, if you've played a lot of isometric games this game is honestly on the easier side. It's really fun, but it's pretty simple.

Without any experience into the game outside of watching someone play for 1 hour up to the first boss.

11 hours. I like those kind of games but i barely play games like undermine anymore.

I can see someone finishing the game in 3-5 hours if they played early acess.

[BillyCryon]

Seriously, 3 hours, just in my 3rd try.
I suddenly realize that this game is all about luck.
