Second half of act 8 exploration journal

in General Discussion
I am exploring chapters 1 and 2 of act 8. I find 8.2 fun and 8.2 heck. On this post I will give daily progress picks (if I do exploration that day,) and will ask for advice on paths and bosses, because I’ll need it.
(I’m not like @Cantona59 or the YouTubers, so this will take me a while)

Day -1:


This is what I’m starting with!!

Day 1:

Progress! Not as much as I would like but hey, it’s something!

    Thanks! 8.3 and 4 are already explored, but I’m still so tired from fighting glyhkan 3 times, so I will definitely be having some days where I don’t do anything lol

    I did a single path completion of act 8 at the beginning of May. Did a completion run through necropolis. Started exploration of act 8 2 weeks ago. Just started 8.2.5 today. Plan to be 100% by the end of June. We've got this!

    8.2 was toughest for me. I kept a journal of it so let me know if you need any help or tips. I must have used a ton of revives for my first Bahamet fight, but only needed one for my final fight, so he gets easier as you figure him out.

    Okay! I would love to ask advice when I get there, my friend who is currently exploring 8.2 says it’s the worst chapter by far

    Could you make a post of it? Been stalling on doing 8.1 and 8.2, because I feel like it’ll be a huge slogfest, but maybe that’ll help motivate me

    Yeah he has gotten me through so much content. 6/10 I don’t have the proper champs for the path he recommends so it takes me a while to find someone who works or rank up a champ

    Day 2:

    Got a lot of work done today! I had to spend a good amount of revives on proxima boss for 8.1.4, becuse I didn’t bring the right counters and wasn’t playing good. But great progress!

    Day 2 1/2:

    I had a strike of inspiration after a nap so decided to hop back in and do some more. I will have to grind out more units because I’ve spent a vast majority of mine so far

    How's your roaster looking? Act 8 can be done itemless, most of your revives and units will be more used on the bosses

    You should aim for exploration to be done by end of June so you get the updated monthly login calendar as well

    Day 3:

    Today was a mess. I decided to try the scyntalis, and my first path only took 1 revive. “Ok, let’s do em all!!” The next path took 500 units. I mean depends on how you look at it, I did 2 scyntalis paths!, or I spent my whole stash of 500 units….

    The 8.1.3 Psycho man boss' presence alone curses your progression... that's why.
    Tho you should slow down, get better attempts

    Yeah you’re right. My friend told me today that 8.2 was his last piece of content (because he is also exploring act 8,) and that is true for me too. I should start to take it a little slower for sure. I honestly just want it over with. Especially after glyhkan, I want it to be done.

    @Kingering_King before you do one of the Acts, post here first to get some tips. Which path are you attempting next?

    I suggest leveling up your venom! I've used him SOOOO much alongside scorpion throughout 8! He was my MVP against scytalis too! Mine is Rank 2
  • HoadyOZHoadyOZ Member Posts: 256 ★
    For the 8.1.3 Wolverine path, make sure you don’t have nullify/stagger or fate seal champs and try not to get hit!
    My team was Guillotine 2099 (Wolverine, X-23 and Sabretooth) You might use Fantman instead.
    Hulkling (Quake and Overseer)
    Human Torch (Shang Chi), you might try Scorpion instead, or Spiderpig
    Hulkling for the Psychoman boss.
    I don’t recognise the Black Widow path, sorry. Which act is that from?

    @HoadyOZ Thank you so much! The black widow path is 8.1.2

    Day 4:
    Since I had 0 units to start, I was feeling a little daunted, wasn’t even sure if I was going to do anything, but…

    I explored 8.1.3 (thanks @HoadyOZ for the help!!) and was like, “My r2 juggs beat up glyhkan, why not try Scyntalis?” So he was my mvp for today. I REVIVELESS beat her!! 3 more paths to go!! But the 8.1.2 path I posted above will be the hardest for me, becuse I don’t have the best bleeders OR units to unitman through. Any advice on it is appreciated!
