it seems to don't worth the effort
Yeah the cosmic shinobi would be nice but really doesnt seem worth the grind or rediculous cost. Think I'll sit this one out
That permadeath does not work is correct, the Brave Talisman they doggos have prevents that. You need Perfect Death. However, I still saw them revive sometimes and then there is still the red ninja girl... in cases like that you can just ragequit the run, as there seems to be no way to solve that, as attacks that apply perfect death usually deal damage and kill the dog and perfect death is not accounted for then. One of the new characters has a passive skill to apply perfect death, this might be the best solution, but I don't have that character and sofar I just farm madness.
You cannot grind for the cosmic shinobi, as there are no event soul frags dropping as rewards this time. Or do you just mean the grind for the 10 event souls?
i just don't do insane too ridiculous dev works again
Insane doesn't give the cosm8n shinobi, just awakening materials.
You must kill both wolves at the same time in the first wave. You must use a good heavy multi hitter to pass wave one. It one wolves is close to dying and you have a single hitter go for something besides wolves. If you kill them both at the same time, then when they revive you can kill them seperately.
Jeez if I had a nickel for every Burning Mummy Dog I've pulled from the Assassin souls, I'd have enough to buy my way to the top of the arena.
i am testing G Onyx son(perfect death). It works to doggies.
But need to find best talisman for him.
I really don't understand events like this. The last event I understood (even though it was a great challenge to reach the fragments needed for Van Helsing). But this one is similar to those of old, where maybe I get 10-15 souls and am hundreds short of any character. I don't get events like this. I would never blow that much iron rite buying souls outright.
That's how the event works, buy event souls or you will not earn the new toons . That way they can say they were not real dollar purchase only toons. Then add the insane doggies just for fun.
You are right, but still this event is the standard! Dungeons where we can grind to get the event character are very rare. If I remember correctly we had only 3 so far: gunner Krampus, Ferryman and now van Helsing.
I am ok with these events as long as maximum 1 of the new characters is event soul exclusive. The payers can pay, the waiters can wait for heroic rotation (if it is not so extermely long as for gunner derby demon!).
The other drops (e.g. Talis for challenges and for first win in each difficulty) can make a dungeon worthy or not. A good 6-set Tali as drop aswell (only valor, eternal & primordial for me). In addition, rare soul frags of the right class are also nice to have (like assassin this time).
This isnt a grinding event for a specific toon since no frags drop. If you are not one of the chosen, you buy events souls or do without. With the drop rate from event souls it's a joke to think many will pull him without purchasing event souls. Add the insane wolves just for fun.
I got the characters from soul drops and stopped.. not even going to do 200 runs this event. There's little point to continuing since the rewards aren't really that great. I'd grind it if the gold payout was better.... but it's not. Night City offers more gold.
Even the round-about ways of accomplishing the Warrior-Insanity task are now “fixed”, so there really is no way around. I’ve done every trick/method posted here, and sure enough, three out of the first four times it worked. Then I went 0 for the next 2 SoT refills doing the exact same thing. Send in a ticket, folks. DEMAND that you get your SoT/Ironite back. The sheer lack of even a whisper from Navigator speaks VOLUMES. This is the most blatant, dishonest bunch of douchery I’ve seen yet, and THAT is really saying something.
My blood is absolutely boiling. If ANY other company that you or I deal with pulled something like this, we’d all tell them where to stick it. Shameful, really.
i have never, nor will, pay anything in this game.
but, i want to NORMALLY play it... with bit of common sense and some luck.
high hopes
So says the guy who’s never been addicted to crack...
The ticket I sent in said essentially that very thing; make me whole again, or they’ve lost a damn loyal customer. Do they give a shit? Unlikely, but like some of us long time addicts, I’m just itchin for the right reason to delete this idiotic circus.
Lord, I have two more wins to complete the 15. I tried three times and lost all of them I dont know if something changed or i was lucky on my previous wins. I killed both wolves twice together to have one revived by I believe the red toon to start the endless loop.
I think it’s moot at this point, since there’s an update going on right now (Ceeg emailed me back and said they were fixing it today or tomorrow) but I found that after three wins, using the “kill both at one time” method, force quit and reload the game works. Anything over three in a row and you get the loop. Not sure if it’s bullshit or not, but it worked for me.
I also want to say that Ceeg (Andy) was quick to respond to my over-the-top complaint, called me out for being a douche (in a respectful way), which I admired and appreciated, and then made me whole. I don’t realize that there are people just like you and me on the other end — it’s easy to forget that, and rant like a 5 year old lunatic, when it’s just my phone screen between us. I dunno. Anyway, hats off to Ceeg for being the consummate professional, because I definitely wouldn’t have been.
Well until someone can confirm the hotfix has worked I'm sticking to doing normal runs. Had that much trouble yesterday as I swear perfect death wasn't being applied with any consistency that I am def over the warrior challenge for awhile. If I did somehow manage to get past the first wave and avoid the loop, at times I used Major's power move to take out Oni in one hit but he wouldn't revive so the run didn't count. Stuck at 2/15 at the moment. This month is off to a flying start when it comes to cock ups.
Update: Well even doing runs on normal is an issue even. The screen has gone blank except for this weird thing where an image of Eddie's head flashes occasionally in the bottom left hand corner. :/
The alchemist, what team are you using? I ran several runs manually and never needed to use the majors power move. If I got through the first wave doggy loop the rest wasnt a problem. Earlier today had had several losses due to the revive loop and stopped playing.
got through most of the challenge using malakhov and notb eddie (w charlotte and lol for the ride). Did have the odd extended loop where I had to manual past the doggies. Have done a few since the hotfix and insanity is easy to grind now.
Whether its worth it is the big question....
Youre forgetting that the story takes some time and is pretty exciting to work through. Then you've got modes up to madness and when you first start, there a soooo many new characters to get that most rare souls will mean something new to work on.
I decided to do the Warrior Insanity challenge tonight.
I did 1 manual using Shaman Ed .... he sucked.
So I switched to Alexander Ed ..... did all auto.
No deaths 100 % survival w/ near full health.
Malakhov never did his special attack.
Dracula's passive cleanses debuffs, silver too, when perf. bleed from Reapers & Vipers was present on enemy.
Auto Team
Best time 2:13 / avg. time 2:50
Alex Ed - Orbit
W. LoL (Max) - Vipers/ Cosmic
Malakhov - Singularity
Count Dracula - Reapers/ Cosmic/ Yellow

I did not have an issue with the Gunner wolves.
Maybe the hotfix solved it.
I did notice the Procyon G. wolf reviving when the round was finished, but my team just ran past him to the next stage.
Procyon & Magus Shinobi are bugged.
Either one would show up in in the next stage. Procyon wouldn't attack , but M. Shinobi did.
Procyon G. Wolf would show up even to the final stage. Atleast he was no bother.
(Below is Procyon on final stage. He is not supposed to be.)

(M. Shinobi on next stage, dead in front of Malakhov, she attacked him too.)

Yes, the loop has been fixed. The visual bugs are of no consequence and were there before the fix.
Also, earning all the basic Talisman sets from BNW. That doesn't happen overnight. Working your way up to LoL X on auto, earning XI-XV keys. Playing thought the difficulty levels of Daily and Weekly dungeons. There's enough to do that new players have to start deciding how much $$$ to spend on Ironite, before "event dungeons" are even on the radar. I know because I was just there, not too long ago. Also, soul drops can be exciting for a really long time, when you don't already have every Eddie and all the cool toons. Working your way up the PvP arena is also really fun in the lower ranks. Seeing how far you can get in the Gauntlet and what your weak classes are. And basically anything that you can just barely win, on manual.
I'm doing all that playing Raid: Shadow Legends.
After 14 months, many hours per day, mucho $ playing Lotb, starting from scratch in another game is brutal. I'm just cheating w/ Raid to make me appreciate Lotb again.
Starting from scratch sux!
Lotb has way better battle gameplay, but the other has better graphics throughout.
These games seem to all have the same basic things like common, rare, epic, legendary souls. Also armor or relics & talisman. Gold/ Silver for every action. Daily rewards, achievements, arena, clans, forum & chat rooms.
I've got too much invested here to ever want to start over again.
But yeah, I remember first starting out.
After a month or so playing Lotb, in Arena I came across the infamous Stormseye.
So I played him to see what a top 100 player was like.
Charlotte was brand new.
As the 2nd one to attack, she did her special and destroyed my whole team.
I learned right then what having all the relics can do.
I now know what that feels like. Relics are everything!
Not that I need another set, but after 465 runs I haven't had a single Eclipse Talisman drop. Rewards don't seem great for this dungeon, normal mode seems to give back SOT at an ok rate. Madness gives awakening soul frags, decent ironite return and a few other useful things from time to time. And the assassin frags really pile up, but I would be bummed with the talisman drop rate if this was a set I wanted. I just want to get my 800 runs done to claim the demonic souls.
I pulled 2 running the minimum 15 runs per level. Didnt pay attention to where they dropped from.
After first run-through of dungeons, pulled Cosmic Shinobi from an event soul, and she's Awakenable.
Next day dropped a "rare soul" for daily achievements and pulled an Assassin Werewolf. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thks devs for solving the issue with the Dungeon!!!
I finally running insanity with:
- Alex // Orbit
- W Lol // Trooper + cosmic
- Dracula // Vorpal + Sacred + cosmic
- Undead Rescuer // Viper + cosmic
Finished the event, and from all the 15 event souls i rolled i got 2 musashi.
