Handling Heavenly Chaos

[Underseer]

How are people handling the new Heavenly Chaos mode? Even working fast (for me), I barely hit GC T1 on three cultivators before I started getting Primordial Soul monsters popping up. Not sure if this is just a skill issue thing, or of I'm missing something important.

Most likely the same as always, Body Cultivators. It's quite easy to make a very powerful Body Cultivator that can solo all monsters because they have 99% dodge chance.

If you use the core-forming pill and rush a Xiando cultivator, you can definitely get ahead of the curve.

Qi Shaping Monsters can't fly, so you only need to be careful of Snakes/Turtles/Boars.
Also before D10, they only have around 10% chance of turning into a monster, increases by 10% every 10 days after that I think.

If you make wood hunting bows, they knock out animals so you can move them away. This is risky because sometimes they die instead.

Core shaping monsters can fly but don't have artifacts so they can be kited indefinitely with Micro.

If they're ranged you can break line of sight by flying around a wall of rocks while your artifact hits them anyway.

GC monsters are when you need to be careful, but they show up around day 60 and if you rush GC you can be a decent GC day 13. That gives you 50 ish days to get PS to get strong enough to beat up GC, and even then most of the GC monsters will be things like Turtles/snakes/rabbits/cats that die to the cold from winter coming around that time, so if you kill them while they're core-shaping and you're PS, you should have no problems.

I enjoy it, there's a lot of interesting parts to it. Did you make too much of 1 element and having that element take over your entire sect?

You can fix it in 2 ways.
1. Make pills of another element, they will fuse into a new weather that will buff your outer disciples if its just 2 elements.

3 Elements will buff ur inners.
4 Elements will debuff the element thats not included.
5 Element decreases attainment/increases learning speed.


2. There is a new secret that happens on day 10 which has a manual that resets all alchemy Qi of a sect.

I just tried this and I found it a bit more difficult than I expected. I couldn't keep up with their advancement but I was able handle them using formations. It seems odd using formations at day 50 to fight monsters, when normally your pet can solo everything at the time, but it works.

I had a pretty smooth curve going with a body cultivator start, but as advised in former posts part of the trick is culling the animal count that will be near your base building area early so you do not have to deal with them in later escalation levels. At the first level, outers with bows and (if you have him) the mysterious cultivator can deal with any monster transforms. Same with your first inner if they just kite. Just plan ahead for the fact you will not have access to much animal meat your first winter.

Once you have the map 'tamed' its not a bad idea to create a swath of unawakened animals so that their spontaneous evolution into a PS monster yields you good resources.

Ima be real my first run I had no idea what I was doing but making body cultivator that almost solo'ed half the game. Because he developed ptsd and hatred from human feces.
