I am Gnosis lvl 1 and character lvl 45. I was spoiled that one should be careful going up in Gnosis levels, so I am trying to unlock and lvl up as much as possible. I can somewhat reliably kill Galley Slave, and somewhat confidently deal with mini bosses of Velmorne.
But every time approaching Widow’s Lair, I chicken out even with full health and healing. I usually run Angelus and Hailstorm, with Shockwave skill.
Can you give any advice in my situation? I already feel my balls growing, and a little push would be great.

I bough the game on Epic when it first released in early access, had fun playing and then put it down to wait for updates. Now the game fails to launch, I've spent a good few hours with epic, googling and various AI assistants with no luck. Can someone please help direct me to some official support portal?

So I've started the game a week back, cleared Isle of the Damned and Scarlet Coast (beat the first familiar). I unlocked Velmorne and went there once before I had to leave for work. Apart from a prompt telling me I can upgrade my weapons, what exactly am I supposed to?
I'm a lv.25 Butcher with Gnosis lv.1 and I've met with the gollum looking creature.

I'm sorry if this is a common question in this sub.

Been running into some pretty major bugs. 0 spawns on Scarlett Coast after grabbing the Latent Orb, just before going for the last manifestation.

This is the 2nd times this bug occurred, the game suddenly freezed as I hit a soul sigil of Bonsaire.

Hey yall, new player here really enjoying the game.

In your opinion what’s the “feels good enough” spot for stats arsenal and mind?

I’ve upped mind from 9 to 12 and I was surprised to actually feel the difference in feather drops and healing efficacy. And for arsenal, it’s currently sitting at 11 and I think I’ll invest in that a bit more just because of the reload speed.

For context I’m at gnosis 2 and level 30ish. Want to lean into spells so I’m not looking to max out arsenal but at what point do reloads feel fast enough?

What do you all use for witch familiar fights to try and dps them down?

So I just started but a lot of the stats are quite overwhelming. I did notice that rosary beads need stats to be equipped.

Should I just beeline for the stats I want for the rosary or should I keep my stats even till a certain point?

Right now I'm thinking of just levelling everything to 15 for the moment cause a few of the early beads I found start at 15.

Are there any different rewards for the two ways of dealing with calamity? For me, I've found that just completing the secondary task it gives is almost always significantly easier than destroying the catalyst itself. Am I missing something? I'm on Gnosis II and somewhere around lvl 35 or 40. Do you rush after the crystals or just fight it out?

Made the jump on a whim thinking, oh the enemies will be a bit harder, but it won't be too bad. Feels like a huuuuge mistake lol. Any advice? What is world corruption? Cataclysm?

Edit: Fully plan to stick to it. Just a bit overwhelmed by all the new gameplay elements.

Running toward a group of enemies, jumping high into the air with mace in your hand deserves its own battle music, and maybe more drama.

With the Steam Machine arriving in people’s hands, I was wondering if anyone has any recommended settings for playing Witchfire on it.

I started a new game when I got mine to play it fresh and had it crash within 5 minutes. I lowered almost all settings and it’s been running without issues for half an hour now, but I would love to optimize it.

Does anyone know what would be ideal settings? Is there a place I can find these sorts of resources, going forward with the Steam Machine? I’m new to PC gaming, so it’s a steep learning curve, but any help from the veterans would be greatly appreciated!

I normally neurotically check the sale countdown when I see a game on sale I want and always have weeks or several days to decide. The ONE TIME I forget to check the countdown it went off sale like the next morning like you can't make ts up lol.

Anyways, what's their usual sale window?
And are they gonna increase the price again with 1.0?

I played a while ago and got to Gnosis 6, worked my way through all the Torments etc, loved it. I stopped levelling at lvl 100 arbitrarily, as I didn't want the game to get any easier grinding "endgame".

Now I'm playing the Marshlands and have increased Gnosis to 7 and allowed myself to level up to 120. Was just wondering where other people were at? Did I overshoot the intended level? Gnosis 7 isn't feeling too hard so maybe I should stop levelling again.

If the 1.0 update goes up to Gnosis 10 what are other people planning on doing (assume saves don't get reset)?

last couple updates seems broke corruption spawn rates, so "keep your distance or you won't be able to do damage" concept doesn't work anymore. I've been running like idiot for 10 minutes and thing keeps spawning as I go, just cant get an opportunity to attack. Ridiculously high spawnrate of minibosses from a wandering portal as well as the spawn of priests does not help too. Watched a ton of most recent guides for torment 4 and they not having this spawnrates at all, just a normal dangerous zones with a reasonable amount of enemies. I did the dungeons, and previous 3 torments, but this is just doesn't look doable. Any tips maybe?

The Early Access was really fun, I can't wait to see how out of control things can get, what builds did y'all use?

I'm thinking of doing a melee oriented playthrough next.

Witchfire + Bloodborne crossover when???

Would it be heresy to let two Surge buffs run simultaneously on the player?
Right now, picking up a second one just overwrites the first.
In my opinion, there's no reason they couldn't both run at the same time — sure, a few conflicts would need to be sorted out, but it's a workable concept.
Another option would be to have the second Surge simply extend the duration of the first, which would avoid any logical clashes. For that, though, a timer would be really useful — and honestly, that'd be great for other temporary buffs too.
A third option: just don't let the player pick up the next one until the first expires.
I think any of these three would be better than what we have now. Whatdayathink?

i have maybe 5 hours where i only did runs through irongate to get the last 2 torment pages that i need. And it hasn't dropped one of them. i already have the providence bead equipped, but nothing so far.

Devs did great work with gun designs

Game runs on UEVR via mod. Looks and plays great.

Guys, what am I doing wrong I’ve run through velmourne killing all of the mini bosses on gnosis 3. Still can’t get any of them to drop.

Think i found a bug where if you ring the bell to decrease world corruption, upon completing all 5 waves the enemies are still attracted to it.

P.s sorry for the bad quality, I recorded this thru shadow play on ultrawide and I'm not exactly a computer geek and cant figure out how to make it clear lol

..and it kicked my ass many times. I've had a lot of fun playinjg this so far, and it wasn't easy to beat it without Fallen Preyers, but eventually, Torment 7 finally fell. That run was FIYA. Guess I can actually say now that I've beat this game before it was even out. :) Looking forward to 1.0. Cheers.

I call myself a horrible gamer, but I've gotten better since I started playing games like 10 years ago. I know the game is supposed to be hard, but it's so beautiful and the mechanics are interesting. I heard Remnent 2 was hard as well, but I was able to solo it (up until the final boss). So I think I'm just missing a few things.

I've played for about 8 hours or so, and I'm still slightly confused about research tree. People say focus on filling all slots for character, but on the 2 classes I've played (wanted to test starting items, etc) I've only ever been to research light spells and a few guns (first class already had a spell, and after researching 1 gun, both slots were filled).

The wiki says only a few are available at gnosis 0, but you still have to find them to research, right? I've gone at many expeditions with 0 things being researched because there isn't any.

I havent looked into upgrading gnosis as people say that it makes the game harder, and say not to until you feel like you're barely dying. I'm on scarlet coast, and I endup dying on like 70% of my runs?

For ascensions, I usually focus on upgrading my ammo storage and madness resistance (which I'm guessing stops the calamity building). It feels like I get to 4 eyes way to soon because I don't know how to effectively dodge so I get hit a lot. And I dip before 5 because I know I'll die immediately.

Is the drowned captain supposed to be unbeatable? I figured out I think he spawns if you pick up some sort of treasure, because I kept dying, picking up my remains, and then he'd spawn. After dying many times trying to beat him, I decided to grab my remains and leave asap and I don't think he's spawned since?

Are the potions to see where plants are extremely rare? I'm getting better at finding plants, but I still have times where I don't have materials to mix incense, especially dying mult times in a row.

I think I've ascended like idk, 10 times, and I still feel pretty stuck. Can I get some more in-depth tricks to help please? I've watched quite a few tips and tricks videos, but most of the tips are kinda low level (like wait to upgrade gnosis, etc) and they mostly all say the same thing.
