For the record, they chose this Ordeal. Guardian Ordeal is Physical/Ritual Damage: 25%, Punish Damage: 1000%. The strategy is clear. Wait for attack, punish, one-hit kill, move on.

Once this random I matched with got their build, they spent the whole run nickel & dimeing every enemy, never leaving any room for the enemy to attack for either of us to counter and finish them off. It turned 10-second boss fights into 10-minute grindfests. I didn’t quit out because I had a win streak in my run history, so that’s on me.

But you think they would get the message after literally dying to the boss and watching me flick them away like a booger in one hit?? But no they kept going in Arena and Asterios. Forget breaking the game, this player broke my spirit.

Just a couple of gremlins… who drank from the spring of immortality.

Edit: I love how at the end one of them is just tucked into a ball waiting for it all to be over. “Oh, long hath my heart endured the burden of eternity when steel still promised rest.”

Is this intended? Why did my teammate lose both of his lives at once? There was no custom ordeal or anything, so I’m not sure why this happened. This is from PS5 online matchmaking yesterday.

Hello fellow Absolum lovers! I am confused about a few things in this game and was hoping to get some answers here. I play the PS5 version.

Why does the Idol of Patience say it deals only +240% while promising +300%?

Why does Gambler’s Dice define Radiance despite granting Gold?

Why isn’t there a prompt to enter the lake in Brome’s mission? And why is that **pond** called a “lake”?? I promise I’m not being nitpicky. It’s just that wording is actually the reason I missed it and wasted an entire run. “Lake” is a giant body of water and made me think it’s probably in the background or at least much bigger. Wouldn’t Pond or Pool have been more appropriate?

Is there a purpose to Mouldy Cheese beyond the first “gotcha” when you first try it?

(Not pictured) Is there a purpose to loading up the furnace with dead bodies beyond the very first time which I assume powered up the elevator for the next section? Now the furnace meter is already full whenever I arrive there. For a roguelike meant to be played over and over again, I would have hoped the mechanic would be more than just a one time thing. But maybe that would get annoying too, idk.

(Not pictured) For Custom Ordeals, I fulfilled the hourglass time medal for one of them, but the time next to the medal just says “???”. How fast was I supposed to beat it…?

Thank you all! Love this game.
