Doom didnt work on some acuex I tried it on... guess they wised up to that lol

Cruel Joke also "had no effect" on the leeches. Bet this is why they had to "emergency maintenance" sortie out until now - to disable Doomga farm.

This. a whole hour, predominantly running around long empty corridors.

I think there's depth here that you guys have missed because you just entered solo or didn't get very far.

You're given an hour time limit because you're supposed to progressively push their defenses (Gates), hence the name Sortie. You unlock gates by finding keys in chests. You unlock fighting NMs by finding device items in chests.

Using the temporary items to activate devices, you can fight Vagary-style bosses in special unmapped areas.

There's a Gate #D which is accessible through multiple passages (A,B,C confirmed, but I assume all).

I'm assuming that Gate #D is a mega boss area.

Here's a few tricks I -picked up from my first run.

- Treat it like Vagary. Have a paladin pull EVERYTHING and use AoE to cleave it down. Our AoE damage wasn't nerfed. You can also use Fell Cleave, Sonic Thrust, etc. If you use Physical AoE, make sure you use capped DT because it pulls everything onto you and your healer should be ready.
- The further you get in, the more chests you get, meaning the more NMs you get.
- You can get "Plates" out of chests. These plates disable potent abilities on the NMs.
- The NMs we fought had a bunch of knockback, silencega, and other really nasty things. More plates probably mean these are alleviated.

Was talking earlier with someone else, this feels a lot catchup content for now but I think there might be more complexity further ahead. I only managed solo to go through areas A/B and I was mostly skipping things to explore (also elementals I was doing like half dmg on everything I tried, probably some mage incentive to nuke them?).

It's early to say but yeah might be a bit easier to start, hopefully ramps later in the section #C/#D?

Doesn't seem also particularly good to solo for now till we know more. Good maps/routes I think will be important, wasted so much time being lost through the tunnels that just went back from B to A...

Well this really makes me wanna keep subbed... Was kinda hoping there was more to it that wasn't discovered yet and not just Ody 2.0 button mash farm and sprint.

Make sure you totally don't clip through locked doors and see if bosses are spawned already

So do 30 minutes, you don't have to do the whole hour.

I honestly didn't think about doing that. Might do it to check next time. The devices teleport you to boss rooms, so I doubt that's a thing, but Gate #D I'm curious if there's a boss behind that boy.

I know some folks are being pretty negative about it, but so far, I like this content. Without the super imposed limitations of weapon damage types, no aoe, etc, this is going to be fun to break.

Went in solo because people are scary, majority of it was very squishy (found some elementals along the way) until I found a mob called Leshonn behind a teleporter, AoE attacks (seem to be considered TP moves), was healed by Light SCs and kicked my ***. Also lots of untranslated text when I did die.

Got an earring from a box after killing a slightly harder than trash leech though so there's that, I guess. 7/10 will spam for the next 6 months.

I suspect to get the A, B & C items and bosses killed in time to get into D somehow with time to do something in there you will need the full hour.

I killed trash mobs worth of 2500 points and havent seen any NMs and I have checked everything (along the way). I have seen acuex, leeches, hecteyes, elementals and had umbrils on widescan at the end. It's possible NM spawning is triggered by something?
