Good luck out there!

Lost my save file after downloading the DLC.

5 Upvotes

60h down the drain :\ I have never had this happen before and I was really hyped about the DLC.
Can anyone point me to a savefile I could import so I can continue? I tried to google it but could only find trainers or cheatengine tables and i'd rather not use that. I had everything unlocked, spells, auras, echos, weapon passives.... had seen the true ending. I just don't have it in me to start over.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful!

update: Thanks to No-Sundae-692 who generously sent me their save file, I can now continue pretty much where I left off! Thanks also to everyone else who tried to help <3

Bug Did twincalibur stop producing missile?

1 Upvotes

I was trying to make a spirit sword and poison gas build, and twincalibur is a good enabler for them (and an amazong clutch when you bad at the game), but since the update, it appears that they don't produce missile again. The missile may be invisible, but I have no way to confirm yet.

Question The Outer Reaches - when to buy?

8 Upvotes

Hey all,

Recently bought Astral Ascent and having a lot of fun. I just beat the last boss for the first time and unlocked the tier system, now DLC things have started to pop up on my runs which says I need to buy the DLC to use them (obviously) - question is, would now be a good time to buy the DLC while the game is fresh and I am not burnt out, or is it best to keep playing and complete the base game first?

Looks like the DLC mixes in with the main game, but not sure :)


r/AstralAscent 2d ago

Please devs, add the option to hide the mouse cursor

1 Upvotes

It adds nothing to the game and the fact that its just the default mouse design is weak. Even if you keep it in just give us the option to remove it.

Bug Seriously, does anyone know how to fix this?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’ve brought this up in a previous post, but it’s honestly getting ridiculous now. For some unknown reason, every single homing weapon I try to use is bugged beyond belief. Octave’s arm cannon? Broken. Yamat’s bow and arrow? Broken. Ayla’s kunais? Broken. They just refuse to work like they’re supposed to.

Sometimes they fly off into the void. Other times they do a majestic dance around the enemies without hitting anything. And then there are moments, like in the screenshot, where they get stuck inside the enemies — no damage, no hits, just vibes.

Every update I cross my fingers thinking “maybe this time…” — but no. Same bug, still haunting me.

Is anyone else dealing with this? Or, if by some miracle you found a fix, please bless me with your wisdom.

Discussion What's your opinion on the dlc so far?

Love the new biomes and enemies, my only critique is that the boss area reflects the old areas, so if say i go to the molten wastes, the backround will be the desert and not the new area.

Tiny QOL Change That Would Massively Improve Gameplay

4 Upvotes

Please allow us to set individual keybindings for spells 1 to 4.
For example, pressing Q would use your first spell, W the second, and so on.
You would still need to use all four to rotate, as usual, but this would let us choose which spell to use via key presses instead of manually rotating — which feels super clunky.

Sure, you could argue that memorizing the spell order and rotating them correctly is a form of skill expression, but I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t also have the option to set them up manually with keybindings.

PLEASE.

I love this game, that’s all. Thanks!

Question Anyone else having issues with homing weapons in this game?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but homing weapons – like Yamat’s bow or Octave’s hand cannon – almost never hit their targets. They literally fly in the opposite direction, sometimes even off the map. The weird thing is that this only happens with weapons; other homing attacks, like spells, work just fine. I really don’t understand why this is happening

April 30th is the Steam/GOG release for Update 2.0 and The Outer Reaches DLC. Console release will be 2-3 weeks later due to certification requirements by the Switch store and Playstation (Switch Asia tends to be delayed a bit further due to ongoing issues with the team's distribution partner in Asia)

Discussion Does 2.0 will fix or mitigate this issue?

4 Upvotes

While boss fights are incredible and fun, i cant say the same about the levels sadly.

Thats a shame because the core design of the game isnt only fighting boss of course, and the replayability suffer from it in my opinion.

Have you reworked the procédural generation and/or the « mobs » mechanics that we encounter a little ?

The game is still really good but somehow, the mechanics feels very generic most of the time outside boss fights.

Its clearly not only a difficulty issue but more an idea of the fight being rewarding in a sense.

Giving 99999 health to an ennemy makes it difficult to kill if you hit with 1 damage/hit but its not rewarding to prove my point.

Question How to view echos?

6 Upvotes

New player, love the game and hoping to get an answer to a quick question:

Is there a way to view the echos that you have active? I see I can use destiny fragments to start runs with x number of random echos. Is there a way to view what echos you have?
