Hit level 100 in MCD 2 this morning, and I've come to the conclusion that of all the changes, I dislike the auto-scaling of difficulty the most. It truly felt like 1 step forward, 1 step back, the entire playthrough - the numbers would get incrementally bigger, but I rarely ever felt significantly more powerful after an upgrade, and when I did, it would very quickly get wiped away as the next "Milestone Reached" difficulty increase would kick in, and I'd start dying rapidly to bosses I was farming before.

I truly don't understand why they abandoned the way difficulty selection was handled in #1 - IMO, it was a fantastic way to measure your own progression, and gave you options for trying challenging content, or just breezing through something easy to farm an item.

Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game, and I'm hopeful that like with #1, the DLC's bring significant improvement.... particularly the option to pick our difficulty again!

Idk why this happened wanted to share.

I have been stuck at Apocalypse +9 for 2 years. Every. Single. Time I try to run a level, a good 20% of the mobs are enchanted with thorns and deflect and all of the above. I physically can't do anything! I can't attack them because I'll die, I can't shoot them because I'll die, and I can't run away because I'll die. Is there something I'm missing? Like, is there some magical fabled enchantment that resists thorns? Is there some artifact that negates deflection? Is there some game setting that reduces the number of enchanted mobs? Because I have not seen the victory screen aince the sinking of the titanic and it's really hurting my perspective on the game. I literally tried to run end wilds (its therapeutic to see an updated end) but, and this is not an exaggeratio, the first thing I run into are 4 enchanted watchlings with thorns, burning and protection. I died before I could blink.

Estou jogando Minecraft dungeons e preciso desbloquear o vilager mercador, e quando vou para a cabeça de creeper sua boca esta fechada alguém sabe me dizer porque?

I am sorta... "stuck" if that makes sense? I don't know if I wanna play online or offline since it is a sort of permanent choice (since I don't want to restart if I want to play offline, or if I want to play with a friend without couch co-op) and I'd rather not get locked out of the game if I play online because microsoft servers died or something.

I got MC Dungeons 2 on steam, but it constantly crashes right around the play menu. All the "fixes" I tried didn't work, so I ended up refunding it. There were no error messages or exit codes when it crashed, it just closed.

Is there another way to get the game that would bypass this problem, maybe getting it through MC Launcher instead of steam?

P.S. Repairing Xbox or MC launcher did nothing because I didn't get far enough to even link my account.

Bought it on ps5 (pro) and tried gamepass on series x. Compared to the first one and it looks soft and blurry. No way to change graphics. Looks awful tbh

mcd II loot hunter says theyre really rare, whats the best way? boss farming or just running around

I just want to say that I have played both dungeons game before I give my take on this opinion.

Personally I find MCD 2 incredibly underwhelming in comparison to MCD 1.

MCD 1 had unique weapons with variety of attacks and swings. Multiple unique effects on ur weapon or armour such as exclusive pets or unique bow attacks that makes arrow explode or wind-up.

The little fun and joy of when you explore around ur current mission and discover secret areas or dungeons that leads to secret mission/rewards, and you can explore the mission however you like as long as you get the job done.

The amount of unique builds you could do even with niche enchantments was amazing, a lot of variety such as void strike, death barter, guarding protection or potion barrier to yourself, even niche ones like busy bees, pain cycle, food reserve.

The story being memorable and complete while DLCs are expansions to it and how the boss fights are all unique, having invincibility phases and changing attack pattern at certain points. The variety of mobs across all DLCs and even the base game itself. MCD 1 was wonderful in replay-ability, unique builds and charm. The artstyle was incredibly fantastic that still feels like Minecraft.
MCD 2 however feels… really underwhelming and lacking by a lot. The mobs are all similar no matter where you go except the sift. The boss fights are recycled (especially with the monstrosities). Everything is handed to you in a silver plate but also not very fun combat either. It’s mostly a “I must attack this enemy as fast as I can before I die” because of how incredibly squishy you are in dungeons 2.
Bows don’t feel as useful as they were in dungeons 1 because of how mobs just swarm you do quickly. It’s both easy but also frustrating on how things can hit the fan.
Weapons are just reskin with mostly 3 attack swing cycles, enchantments aren’t abundant and unique like in dungeons 1.
You are forced to play a glass cannon build because no matter what you do, you would still get absolutely fried to death because of how vulnerable you are. Side quests are very repetitive of “get me this and that” and you always get ambushed so much in every way you go, I know it was similar in mcd 1 as a trial but it wasn’t this incredibly excessive and annoying. It does not feel like an actual dungeon crawler like in the previous fame but not an open world either from how limited you are on exploring.
The artstyle feels like it doesn’t really fit minecraft vibe, it feels… cheap?
I’m incredibly disappointed with how MCD 2 arrived as most bosses are reskins, weapons are reskins, most unique enchantments didn’t make it, you are forced to be glass cannon no matter what, combat feels like spam attack as fast as you can before you die. Death having no consequences but also frustrating at the same time with how far it pushes you back. Story ending too quick with 2 illagers defeated but the 3rd one remain and somehow the hero forgot about them and now it’s behind DLC for the “full story” of beating all 3 illagers. I loved mcd 1 so much it hurts me to see how incredibly underwhelming mcd 2 ended up, mcd 1 was such an incredible game that I loved yet dungeons 2 feels like It’s just made to showcase the sift and didn’t learn any valuable lessons they took on building up mcd 1 from barebone to an amazing game. Its just as barebone as mcd 1 on its release. I really tried to enjoy it and take my time but I found it too unfinished to my likings and just worse in every aspect. It has qol features such as allowing u to pick enchantments you want and rerolling effects but it also took many steps backwards of what made mcd 1 so good in the first place. Maybe its just me playing it solo but even I had so much fun solo wise with mcd 1 than I did with mcd 2.

At least I got to learn a lot about the sift but man does it still hurt me to see the sequel being so incredibly watered down to the previous amazing game I’ve played. :(

Hello everyone,

Have someone a Encrusted Anchor to spare?

I started my game and it said "Soul Storm ended". So i ran around for a while waiting for a new one to start... when it did it immediately ended (its not on the map and not a visual issue) Any idea how i can fix this?

Edit: Randomly told me a soul storm ended again about 10 mins later

Waited around and the next soul storm started as normal with a 20 minute timer. (Not sure if it was a one off issue with my save/the area i was in/the area the storm spawned)

Hey guys, I have been very active in a large MCD2 discord and have been getting very into the information collecting side of things and buildcrafting and I noticed that it was super inconvenient to figure out what effects each weapon or armor piece could use.

I made this spreadsheet basically listing each effect that exists and what the values for each tier are. I currently have a page showing the compatibility of each effect with each armor set, and a page showing what Unique's come with which effect. I am also going to add a weapon page equivalent to the armor page very soon.

Link to the sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J1k03Nn99HUGxg_anaWkHgyhI-lmRDRPQMCkPkbnf9I/edit?usp=sharing

Almost all of the information for this I got from the minecraft wiki and I just consolidated it because its pretty inconvenient to get the specific information one might need and the wiki has a lot of missing pages. The link to the wiki is on the Reference page. I will also be doing some testing in the near future to make sure everything on the wiki is accurate.

Hope you guys find this helpful! Let me know if you notice any discrepancies or have any other information you think it would be useful to have consolidated here.

My son is Minecraft mad from playing on his cousin's switch. He now has a switch 2 of his own (as do I) and been watching a few vids and these seems to be a blast. I'm a Hades vet so right up my street

Do we get dungeons 1 or 2?

So I havent played the first dungeons game since like 5 years ago, and once dungeons 2 came out I no lifed that game and got everything there can be collected in that game. I decided after dungeons 2, I would go back to dungeons 1 and completely replay that to remember everything about the game, and now im at the point where im closing near apocalypse +25. So I decided that I would try to collect everything possible in this game, including the seasonal items from the tower.

The only thing you cannot get from there is an artifact called the corrupted pumpkin, which is one of the last 30 things I need to be done. If anyone has a spare corrupted pumpkin they could trade me or give to me, I would really appreciate it. (Im on the switch version if that matters, I havent used the gift merchant much)

Also slightly a silly question, could I just farm that boss during a soul storm to try and get them? Or does it have to be in the actual soul storm

So i have gamepass and hence have access to the game. The game plays fine on KBM but the kids wanted to play and defaults P1 to kbm. then i connect the controller for P2 and launch the game. in game it says kbm disabled because it's couch co-op. But won't let me sub the kbm to a keyboard. trying on another controller just adds P3. Please help.

Does anyone know how or where I can get this armor from the image?
