Is there more than 4 Old Gods?

[Codo]

I see tons of boxes and at first I thought there were more that were unlockable, but I'm starting to wonder if there really is just 4 old gods to go against?

[Talithmara]

There's more unlockable ones, yeah. But I don't think every last box has one available. The number of boxes looks unchanged from early access so they could be placeholders for DLC or free updates.

[Codo]

Aaah, alrighty. In that case, I'd like to at least ask: How many -are- there out of curiousity? DOn't gotta actually name'em, just a number at this point is all I wanna know.

Nine. There are currently nine Old Gods. In my personal opinion, all unlockable ones are also harder to deal with than the core four you're already aware of.

[Codo]

WOAH! That's more than what I thought! Hahaha, I was expecting like 6, MAYBE 7 if I was lucky. That's so cool! :D

I do also want to point out that one of them in particular currently seems to have a run-ending bug that accidentally just immediately maxes out your doom sometimes, so until that gets fixed there's effectively one less.

Not a bug. When any of STR, DEX, PER, KNW, CHA, or LCK are less than or equal to 0, doom is set to 100%. It was a pretty rare scenario that made little sense for the other old gods, but the one that actually threatens to do this the doom 100% ending makes perfect sense.

Does 0 luck really do that?
If so thats pretty bad design given you cant see its stat.
Guess im not downing corpse dust on “doomed” runs anymore

Not 100% on 0 luck. It's really hard to reduce, so I've never pulled it off. Anything that affects "all stats" tends not to affect luck. As such the corpse dust is pretty much the only thing that can destroy your luck. If you enable the math popups on skill checks you can see your luck during luck checks (it's the number on the right of the calculation).

Definitely more 4 to say at least as I unlocked 1 (so now 5 old gods to choose from) by just completing 7 runs

While I did know about this in general, I DIDN'T know it also applied to LUCK. That would probably explain it if anyone starts with low luck (I don't remember any other luck reduction happening.)

Ayaka and Toshiaki are the only characters with low starting luck. I'm also at least 50% sure the old god doesn't actually reduce luck, but I'd need to check to confirm that. Both these characters have several stats at high risk of hitting 0 anyway, that are lower than their starting luck.
