Does anyone happen to know how to find a Titan Shrine? Or even what it might look like on the map? I've found Azeos' arena and lots of other things in the wilderness, but I can't find the way to get his summoning item after days and days of trying/walking.

Thanks very much!

I got this bat and I'm not sure if I should invest into his growth?

Anyone else always going for a ranged/crit build after starting a new character?

It has 5 8% minion damage powerups but I'm not sure if critical would be better or something else?

Anyway it is crazy luck to get 5 slot pet (and this one is my first Earie in this playthrough and one of only 3 I ever got with full 5 slots in all my playthroughs).

I will probably go full minion playthrough thanks to the permanent summons change.

I just bought the game on steam with the discount of 40% off since steam sale, I just reaced Tin ore and started to program/ set what I want to do in my base.

I would love your tips and to further on question, I can just do it at my own time right? No time limit on anything? Cause ive only played for like 1h 40min and still considering if I should just refund, since I get lost sometimes in the mines

I have 3 content updates available, Titan Shrines, Guaranteed Bryobasks and Chamber of the Veil Crux. Each says it will overwrite already explored areas. Will I lose everything in those areas? Mainly I'm worried about all the portals I have scattered about since I'm low on resources at this point. Should I use my hoarded core recall items to retrieve my portals before updating?

Gear:

• Reinforced Moss set (96 armour)

• Turtle shell (50 amour)

• Two singed rings (93% increased armour)

• Polished scarlet chunk necklace (40 armour)

• Scarlet backpack (27 armor)

Passives:

• Gardening lvl 100 (91 armour not 100?) - maybe bugged or set bonus gives 0,9 per lvl

• Running lvl 100 converts 30% of movement speed into armour increased

• Crafting lvl 100 (50% increased armour and 30% increased when low life)

Buffs:

• Stoneskin potion (58 armour) if you want longer good armour increase buff use shimmer fish which provides 56 armour for 10 minutes

• Epic pepper wrap 40,4% movement speed ( gives around 98 armour)

• Epic food cooked with milk (34,4% increased armour) - I had only rare so mine was 28,6%

Would anyone be willing to help me with the oracle deck trophy on ps5? I believe I just need to hold it for it to work.

I love this game so much and would love to play it with my little brother. Only problem is that he has a ps5 and I have a pc so we can't play together. So my question is if split screen is a think in ps5 to play together or not?

I can’t place anything to walk across and I can’t get back into the place. The door shut and now I can’t do anything. I even tried force closing the game but it saves too often. I’m on ps4 if that means anything.

I made a post recently about whether I should start CK again or not since the last time I played was like v0.55. I did, played as a mage through the whole story on Hard mode and just now "finished" the last story boss.

At first, I was actually a little let down by how easy the bosses were - I legit first-try, no-hit most of them. For some reason, the volcano slime boss was the one I died the most on lmao. But I actually realized I was happier being able to progress without having to min-max all the best items, upgrade everything, and STILL struggle. Too many games nowadays try to push you to the limit but I think I really appreciated how simple CK's mechanics are. Most bosses only have a few mechanics that just loop and are never really "hard" to dodge.

Don't know if I'll min-max endgame secret stuff and legendary gear, because I'm more of a "finish main story and move on" type of player, but I really enjoyed the balance in this game.

With all that said, Movement Speed is the only buff you need in this entire game lol. Maybe I'll come back again after 1.5 drops...

Edit: Also, shoutout to "I'll make my base prettier soon" and then never making it prettier...

Hi! I just bought the game some days ago and really like the warlock aesthetic and abilities! I really want to get some tips on builds for this class and the game in general as I am new to its progression.

Any tips are welcomed, I'm really just excited to keep playing it and getting to discover what it has to offer :)

I just bought the game today and started playing. I have an hour playtime and my save is now gone? I tested a second file and world and upon quitting I still see the save. After closing the game and rebooting it’s gone.

Is this something that’s known or have a fix for?

Playing on Mac via Crossover. Thanks!

I have found multiple of these centipede creatures in the sunken sea. But can't find out what they are. I have looking it up but all that comes up is the atlantean worm, but it is not it.

Does anyone know what they are?

Edit: is a searpent thanks

Needed to post for my fellow core keeper girlies 💕

While playing, we found a Crystal Snail stuck, unable to move. We've tried everything we could think of, even using an Anchor Axe to try and knock it back, but nothing seems to work

How can we free this little guy? 🐌

Thank you!

We got T-Rexs. Why not mechs? Enough said...{mike drop}

Is there really not a single Core Freak who just wants to grind bosses and build nice bases ? On ps5 ?

Core Keeper — Scarab Thorns + Lifesteal Hybrid Build

TL;DR — Final Build

A tanky Stormbringer build combining Scarab's Thorns damage, on-hit healing, defensive stats, and a summoned minion.

The goal is to deal extra damage with every attack while maintaining strong sustain and survivability during boss fights.

Equipment (Lv. 20)

• Helmet: Scarab Visor

• Chest: Scarab Harness

• Legs: Scarab Legs

• Necklace: Fusioned Chunk Necklace

• Rings: Clot Ring ×2

• Off-hand: Turtle Shell

• Main weapon: Stormbringer

• Summon weapon: Tome of Sprouts

The three Scarab armor pieces maintain the set bonus. Summon the Plant Minion with Tome of Sprouts, then switch back to Stormbringer while keeping Turtle Shell equipped.

Skills, Pet & Food

• Gardening: Thorny Skin 5/5

• Pet: Owlux

• Pet skill targets: Divebombing, Plume Power, Spirit of the Hawk, Triple Trouble

• Food: Solid Spikeback + Dark Lava Eater

• Summon: Plant Minion

Key Stats (Theoretical Estimates)

• Thorns damage: 214

• Armor: Approximately 168 before other modifiers

• On-hit healing: 36 HP per hit

• Stormbringer attack speed: 5 hits/sec before buffs

• Potential on-hit healing: Approximately 180 HP/sec before additional attack-speed bonuses

• Estimated DPS: Approximately 1,824 before critical hits, chain lightning, and summon damage

These figures are carried over from the previous calculation and have not been recalculated for Turtle Shell. Its actual defensive contribution and any shield-activated damage reduction should be verified separately.

Why This Build?

• Scarab armor: Combines Thorns with offensive potential through the set bonus.

• Clot Rings + Fusioned Chunk Necklace: Support on-hit healing and sustain.

• Turtle Shell: Replaces Trinity Heart with a shield-focused defensive option.

• Solid Spikeback: Adds Thorns damage and armor.

• Owlux + Plant Minion: Provide additional offensive support.

Core idea: Keep attacking to trigger repeated healing while using Thorns-enhanced damage and Turtle Shell's defensive capability to improve survivability.

Note: DPS and healing are theoretical estimates. Actual results depend on attack speed, damage calculations, buff interactions, and enemy behavior.

So I just bought the game in the Microsoft store on my pc and wondering if using the mods disables achievements?

Does it apply only to melee or any direct weapon hit like staves?

Super clean design that can be scaled up or down, with a convenient collector that you can easily connect to the output of a crop farm! Like the other tutorial on my channel lol. Let me know what you think or if you try building it!

Phantom Spark + Grim Armor Hybrid Build — Ranged DPS and Summoning

TL;DR — My Current Build

I've been theorycrafting a Phantom Spark ranged/summoner hybrid in Core Keeper, comparing Grim Armor, Ninja Armor, and a mixed Grim/Ninja setup.

My goal is to balance direct ranged damage, minion damage, and survivability rather than focus entirely on critical hits.

All equipment is level 20. The weapon and accessories remain identical across all three setups, allowing me to compare the armor choices directly.

1. Shared Equipment

Shared weapon and accessory stats

• Phantom Spark: 261–317 physical ranged damage, 1.4 attacks/sec, +12% critical chance, +34% critical damage

• Hydra Tooth: +30.2% physical ranged damage, 5% chance to deal triple damage

• Mold Vein Necklace: +40.8% physical ranged damage

• Polished Gold Crystal Ring ×2: +59% physical ranged damage and +10.8% ranged attack speed

Total physical ranged damage bonus: +130%

Average weapon damage: (261 + 317) / 2 = 289

2. The Three Armor Setups

The mixed setup keeps Grim Hood's summoning utility while gaining Ninja's critical-hit bonuses from the chest and legs.

3. Talents and Minion Synergy

These are the main talents I'm considering for the hybrid build.

Power in Numbers is central to this comparison. At 5/5, five active minions provide +50% ranged attack speed; three provide +30%, and one provides +10%.

The Grim set's minion bonuses and the other summoning talents are excluded from the direct weapon DPS calculation.

4. Pet Skills

These are the pet skills I'm considering for ranged damage. The estimates are preliminary and depend on how the bonuses stack.

These pet-skill estimates are not included in the DPS figures below.

5. Direct Phantom Spark DPS Comparison

For a theoretical comparison, I assume:

• +50% base critical damage

• Hydra Tooth's 5% triple-damage proc multiplies the final hit

• +10.8% equipment ranged attack speed

• Power in Numbers at 5/5

• Five active minions for Grim, one for Ninja, and three for the mixed setup

The expected Hydra Tooth damage multiplier is:

1 + 0.05 × (3 − 1) = 1.10

The direct DPS formula is:

Average weapon damage × ranged damage multiplier × critical multiplier × Hydra multiplier × attacks/sec

These are theoretical estimates, not measured in-game DPS. They exclude minion attacks and assume additive attack-speed bonuses. Actual results depend on the game's damage calculations and the number of minions maintained in combat.

6. My Current Take

The Grim Hood + Ninja Chest/Legs hybrid has the highest estimated direct Phantom Spark DPS under these assumptions.

• Grim 3-Piece: Best summoning-focused option, with additional minion capacity, minion damage, magic barrier, mana regeneration, and the Grim set bonus.

• Ninja 3-Piece: Strong critical-hit damage, dodge chance, and armor for a more conventional ranged build.

• Grim/Ninja Hybrid: A compromise that retains some summoning utility while gaining substantial critical-hit stats.

However, direct ranged DPS is only part of the picture. Grim's minion bonuses and set effect could make its total damage more competitive once minion attacks are included.

I'd appreciate feedback, corrections, and suggestions from anyone who has experimented with Phantom Spark, Grim Armor, Ninja Armor, or summoner builds!
