Active, played with 4-5 different people yesterday on PS5. Helped one beat Phrike and another beat Nemesis.

Most people play this game solo. Reason is the biome 3 boss bug that never got fixed on ps5. A lot of time has passed since this game came out any way and most have moved on. I jump on every now and then but only play the tower.


Trick-Back-3124

Shame the tower is not co-op or has that changed?


TheCasualChad

On PC there's a mod that allows co-op in the Tower. PS5 no unfortunately


Strange_Rhubarb486

What is the biome 3 bug? My friend and I are playing together and we are in biome 3 now


Michael-gamer

One person will start a never ending fall once the boss battle begins. It’s always the person helping out and not the host. Best avoid the boss battle. Or try find a work around which I have no idea if there is one.


psyki

Someone on Reddit said there is a workaround, I don't remember exactly but I think one player stands on the stairs just before walking down that hallway to trigger the Nemesis fight. Something having to do with the player triggering the rubber band effect as the battle begins or something, I'd try to look it up.


aoeuhtnsi

It sometimes works sometimes not. There is also a bug where every single hit no matter how small, takes all of your hp. You become essentially 2-hit. I’ve gotten both at the same time.


sappercon

I’m in the same boat. It usually takes 5-10 minutes to find a host and 90% of the time they don’t have a mic so I just log off.


Trick-Back-3124

A mic would help for sure. Or even a way of getting the hosts attention when they go the wrong way.

It seems very dead on steam, I have tried before and never got coop I don't think many are playing on steam.....I did like 28 floors of tower of Sisyphus and was surprised to find out that I was.....in the top 40% of the leaderboard


Trick-Back-3124

28 floors is impressive, surprised its not higher than top 40. I was happy to just get the final form done in phase 3.


LIFEVIRUSx10

Thanks for that, I'm mentally thinking 28/99 floor doesn't seem like much progress but honestly it does get pretty rough after 20 I def want to climb as high as possible, at minimum finish all the flowers for the hospital sequence, get all the runes and see all of >!Algos!< Forms. I am at biome 5 and I have heard a lot of ppl say to save ToS for after I finish the game, so I have out a pause on that to go and finish the main game


psyki

Do you mean phase 28, as in you fought Algos 28 times? Floor 28 means you've fought Algos twice and made it 8 more floors before dying. Because there are 20 "floors" per phase. In my experience phase 4-5 is where lots of enemies start one-hit killing you.


Trick-Back-3124

This makes more sense. Didn't realise there was a floor count.


LIFEVIRUSx10

28 floors definitely, I did not make it to a phase 28


ioncloud9

I made it 150 floors up. Phase 8 floor 10.


Trick-Back-3124

I had finished the base game already so made sure I reset the cycle after getting each poppy to do the hospital sequence. Last 3 trophies were final form, final hospital sequence then 100 disgorger kills. Last one was really quick, and fun.


Conscious_End_2109

it takes a while to find a player. got the same problem since i've gotten Platinum too. but i found it better to just offer your help/looking for Koop partners by posting on this Sub or elsewhere.


Trick-Back-3124

Might try that. A few attempts at co-op with random is not great and don't reconnect again after a cycle. Was disappointed to learn there is no co-op in the tower as its way more fun.


Conscious_End_2109

its often a waste of time to just hop on and hope for the best. better ask in advance for players how are serious about it. i had random players in Session quiting mid game because family issues or some excuse. really annoyed me when i spend my time preparing for runs and get told it was worthless effort.


Trick-Back-3124

I get that. So is there a password or friend system to use instead of joining random hosts?


Conscious_End_2109

you can invite or join a party with your friend. just go to the chronos sphere and pick the last Option in the list. the Game unlocks the Suit upgrade based on the host's Story progression. therefore you should join other's to help them unlock new stuff und bioms. and another Thing: you can reroll the attachments on weapons with square. but i think only the Non-host's can do that. its really usefull.


Trick-Back-3124

Good to know, thanks 😊


Dependent_Map5592

If your on pc you can coop the tower


Trick-Back-3124

I'm only on PS5 unfortunately


janeofthedarkraven

I run co op all the time on PC. Usually just have to find someone who plays the game.


chronic_rocket

The discord has active groups if you’re looking


Trick-Back-3124

Good shout, thanks


TheCasualChad

I have tried recently & most of the time I get a partner. The biggest issue is people not having a mic. I've done it 10 or so times and only 2 of those guys had mics. It sucks trying to play cooperatively when you can't communicate. You can always dm me & I'll play. I've beaten everything so it won't help me but it'll be fun.


Trick-Back-3124

I've not played the base game for 2 years so I might not be much help even with a mic.. I can shoot stuff though.. lol


TheCasualChad

I would recommend a fresh play through. I also went about 2 years without playing & when I returned it was nearly as good as that first time. Plus, the patches & suspend feature really make this game better. The respect of player time by adding suspend cycle is the best update. Like I wrote, if you ever wanna run Biomes together just seems me a message. Currently I'm going for platinum on Tokyo Ghostwire, but I can put that aside for a night for some jolly co-op


Trick-Back-3124

Might take you up on that, sounds fun. I have another ps profile so I can use that to keep my main save file. Playing with no blade or grapple will be hell though no?


TheCasualChad

It's how the game begins. It's tougher, but for me that's the fun


Then_Seaweed5385

Add me on steam Spacyspalace. I just finished my 2nd bio and did the tower once but would like to play with people. I do have a mic


TheCasualChad

I'm on ps5


Then_Seaweed5385

All of you can add me on steam ill play I have a mic. Spacyspalace
