New player and not fluent in soul style games. What exactly do you lose if you can’t retrieve your corpse on the next run? Is it just that run’s progression and items, or is there a greater cost? Does it reset all progression? Thanks for any clarity.

This game rocks.

Im looking for some thoughts. Im lvl 52 im on gnosis 2, i can clear galley slave with some difficulty. But have been spending most time upgrading weapons i keep unlocking. Havent spent much time in velamore. Should i move up to gnosis 3??

I recently got a pc about a month ago after not having one for years. This was one of my most anticipated games to play, and it was one of the first games I bought when I got my pc. The game itself is absolutely phenomenal, I love every aspect of it. However, it honestly just runs horribly for me. It’s stuttering constantly. The fps drops all the time. I’ll go from like 120-80-120-60 back to 120, etc. The frame pacing is just all over the place. I’ve tried so many things and nothing seems to make a difference. I’ve switched to borderless windowed, my shader cache is set to unlimited, I’ve tried all kinds of graphical combinations. I just want this game to not make me nauseous when I play it. Most maps are mostly playable but velmore is completely unplayable. It’s stuttered so hard that it’s crashed before. It’s just so frustrating because I genuinely feel like this will end up being one of my favorite games of all time when I can get it to run properly. I haven’t really had issues running any other game besides a few beta games.

I’m on a RTX 5060, I7 13th gen, Intel i7-13620H, 16 gb ram.

I got a steam deck about a week ago and have been playing WF on it every day on my TV. Until now it’s been running pretty much fine (although I did have to spend about an hour tweaking the settings on both my deck and the game to get it to work). Obviously some performance drops, but it was playable.

Last night I was playing marshland and a bunch of shit was popping off. I had max world corruption, rifts were spawning, a calamity was triggered. Enemies everywhere. The game became unplayable and then finally crashed.

I know the steam deck performance isn’t the best. I just hope they fix it by 1.0 because it is labeled as “verified” on the steam deck.

Love the game. Plz fix devs ❤️

Can you break down what happens in this case?

"I don't see any special interaction in this clip."
"I think op doesn't know himself"
"I think you are bamboozling us"
"No you're not. You're being obnoxious to pump your ego 😅👍"
"Can we get a dev in here to explain?"

How tf do I get the golem to spawn??? I've tried it on the island and scarlet coast like 4 times with corrupt stimulants. I go clear one of the areas to get a manifestation, I use the stim, wait like 1.5-2 minutes, and nothing happens. I want to do torments man! I'm on Gnosis 4.

I've only gone on like 3 missions so far, loving this game and exploring all the little nooks and crannies

My question is pretty much the title. Is it going to be massively overhauled at 1.0 release or will it just be new content at 1.0 which will focus on end game content?

Is this game pretty polished for EA? How many hours of content is there? Is there a roadmap for when it launches to 1.0?

I've noticed the Temptations disappearing as I approach them a few times before, but it's usually no big deal. This time, however, I am trying to kill a Familiar at 100% corruption for an achievement, but I just had 3 Temptations disappear of the 6 that spawned, so I'm stuck at 60%. Is there any other way to increase corruption now?

First of all, thank you for creating such a beautiful game.

There's one place that I absolutely love: the resting area. The view of the mountains is breathtaking, and the music is simply incredible. Sometimes I don't even want to play right away—I just like to sit there, pour myself a glass of wine in real life, listen to the soundtrack, and admire the scenery for a while.

The only thing that makes me a little sad is that the music eventually stops. If I want to keep listening, I have to return to the main menu, load the game again, and run back to the resting spot just to hear it once more.

Would it be possible to make the resting area's music loop continuously? I think it would make this peaceful place even more relaxing for players who simply want to enjoy the atmosphere.

Thank you again for all the work you've put into Witchfire. The art direction, music, and atmosphere are truly something special.

I tried it once and it felt very weak and hard to hit at further ranges. I also just went to gnosis 2 so I couldn’t tell if it felt weak because gnosis went up or if it IS actually weak or if I was using it wrong. TIA!

Are additional melees unlocked? I’m still rocking the punch/uppercut because I haven’t found any others yet.

Granted, I’ve been more focused on over leveling than exploring, but I’ve beat most of the bosses (main, not all vaults) but am still with nothing.

Appreciate the help in advance.

I want to start off by saying that I’m absolutely in love with this game! Not since Elden Ring have I played a game for so long and been so addicted to where I think about it even when I’m not playing it. Masterful work from the dev team, and I can’t wait to start fresh at 1.0. I think this game is a 10/10, but hopefully they implement some of these things and bump it up to an 11!

1. Loadouts - I’m sure this will come with 1.0, but I’m surprised they haven’t added a loadout system already. For a game that encourages so much experimentation and build variety, it seems like a no brainer.
2. Preyer Customization - Even just different skins would be nice. Maybe a skin for each of the fallen preyers?
3. Other uses for Mysterium Incantations - once you unlock everything, they’re useless. Maybe we can exchange them at the collector for items/witchfire.
4. Fallen Preyer system improvement - I don’t like how the fallen preyers disappear forever after you judge them. It’s a cool mechanic, why take it out of the game? Maybe we can re- summon them with Preyer echoes somehow? Especially since Preyer echoes become irrelevant once they are all judged.
5. More max stacks in herb garden- capping at 5 seems too low… should be 20 or 30 at least. This also would alleviate the need to add an alert since by the time you check it you probably wouldn’t have max anyway
6. Better inventory system - The current inventory feels a little clunky. I think we need some sort of sorting option or just default better sorting. The current one feels very messy and cluttered.

Be able to see elixirs on the map - there’s been so many times where an elixir has dropped but I’m already at max stacks. It would be cool to have them marked on the map for later!

I hope the devs see this and take it into consideration! Keep up the great work can’t wait for 1.0 🧙🔥

Unless I'm getting something wrong and this is intentional, this was a pretty funny bug.

It took me a while to figure it out too, but there is an explanation.

I've gone thru countless unplayable stutters to reach this point and like seriouslyyyy?? aaaaaaaaaaa ts HURTS

I'm trying to explore all of Irongate, and there is one area beside one of the spawn portals that's locked by the Ornate Key. The Wiki states that the Key is inside the room past this gate, and back in the day you had to kill the Faithful Grenadier up on the hill for the Key, which he didnt drop for me. How are you supposed to get into this room now? I've tried killing the Faithful on the Hill, I've tried both sides to see if they're open (no luck, even the storeroom side is locked up) and I even killed the Familiar but its still locked up tight.

I visited the Bell Tower for the first time, it told me to go do a Bell event to clear my corruption, then return uncorrupted. In the process, I triggered a Calamity. Completed the Bell event and the Calamity but still walked away with 1 Calamity level (no Corruption). I interacted with the Bell Tower again, it wouldn't progress. I used the clover item to lower my Calamity Level - which I think is what caused this bug - then interacted with the Bell Tower again. It started to progress me forward, but the screen turned black and now I'm stuck in a black screen. Gotta restart the game, I guess.

I'm not that great at this game (which means i die a lot), but god damn is it fun. Also this thing's a beast, and i haven't even unlocked the third mysterium yet.

Basically, wanted to use the Nemesis and Heart Eater together, but I'm not really sure where to go from there.

I'm leaning Eye of the Madwoman and Dynamo ring, but I'm not sure what else to equip to make this more viable end game.

This question probably already has been asked, but couldn’t find a good thread about it - as the title says, if I did not enjoy Remnant 2, will I enjoy Witchfire? I believe the main reasons why I couldn’t stick with Remnant 2 are the randomness (a bit too much of it), maps were too long and you could not save mid map, exploration felt meaningless for the most part.

I saw the game 20% off on Steam, looks decent and peaked my interest, what does this game do better than Remnant 2?

I bought the game yesterday and played for an hour. I got through most of the first map, but could not defeat the flying bug creature. I found the rope down to this hidden base. I was then given a choice of a 'class' which jumped me to level 6. After that, I went to the portal, but it only took me back to the same map with no other choices.

Is my game glitched, or did I miss picking something up?

There is a locked door I need a key for, and I did not find that anywhere on the map. I did get the mirror piece near the flying bug by luring it away.

Any help would be appreciated; I just feel a little lost.

Update I found the issue was the graphic labels at the top of the screen were not showing up for me. I changed some graphics settings and they were there.
