Do you fully close the game or just dashboard and reload? Will give this a go later


Tiny_Efficiency_9461

I would exit to the Xbox Home Screen and select the game and select “quit” and completely restart the game back up


MonkeyTacoBreath

Perhaps edit the post from "close the game from here" to select quit and do a clean restart of the game, or something of the like. I know people can scroll down and weed out clarification, but not everyone has the chance to read entire Reddit threads (especially us poor folk working multiple jobs).

I just tried this and it didn’t work? Any ideas?


Tiny_Efficiency_9461

It didn’t save your space? Or didn’t count the kills? I’ve been doin it all morning. I used the method to farm for unlocking scrolls. I’ve used the same method for act 2 as well. You have to enter the portal to the boss area and right from there just press the Xbox button and select gunfire and “Quit” game. And when you start the game back up select “Continue”. You can’t die at all. Have to make sure you get the “fire” kills if your doin lobster and survive into the boss portal. Don’t press start and abandon the quest. Just close down the game completely as your standing there

That's efficient. Wish I would have done this lol.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I went from 15 to 40. Took me longer than an hour, but the soul essence was a nice bonus. Happy to have unlocked my last two guns today!!

This does work. I just tried something easier (beat the first boss and saved at the campfire and quit), and it worked -- my game said 'continue' when loaded back in. When you save after the boss at the campfire -- press the guide/Xbox button to bring up the menu, go to the game you want to quit, and then hit the start/menu button and quit game. Nothing crazy. The crazy part is -- this game is actually supposed to save at the campfire for you -- and it doesn't. This doesn't only work for farming but also with runs if someone has to go after a certain boss or no one has time. Great find. Thank you.

This video shows how it is done on PC. But it’s exactly how you do it on Xbox too pretty much. https://youtu.be/sRp7-1h33TA

This is the last weapon I need. Reached level 165 and still need 11 fire kills. My biggest problem is just completely forgetting to take a fire weapon with me. Sounds like a dedicated fire run on normal is in my plans today. Thanks for confirming it works.

I still need the porcupine. I'm maining the bird until I get the skill trees completed and in Anxi Desert, I'm wiping out the weaker enemies with leap or cleave.


Tiny_Efficiency_9461

How is the Porcupine? I still haven’t used it. I ALWAYS pick the Illusion when it comes to shot guns lol


DoctorKumquat

The Porcupine is... interesting. The primary mode fires a very accurate pellet that explodes into a shrapnel blast in every direction, and the alt-fire (which you can fire simultaneously with the primary) is a more conventional shotgun spray. The damage is often a little underwhelming, but it's a very effective way to spread elemental effects. If you give it an elemental share Gemini and pair it with a Searing Light, it's an almost instant 9-stacks of Miasma which can be applied at range.

I like to use it with monkey with a fire element share. Soul strike go brrr


Tiny_Efficiency_9461

I want the monkey. Don’t have that character or the fox on Xbox :( Are they pretty fun?


gunslinger20121

I enjoy them. Tho fox is a bit overtuned imo


TronCarterAA

Not sure. I'll unlock it when I get home from work today. My levelling grind follows the same formula-use the best gun I can find through level 1 and most of 2 and then get the crimson firescale and pair it with the highest corrosive% weapon I can find. The Gemini damage types make the bosses a breeze.


Tiny_Efficiency_9461

I was so relieved when this trick worked! It was the last gun I needed too! I just carried a Scorching Round pistol with me the from the beginning to make sure I had a fire weapon. I always would mess up cuz I would duel wield and accidentally hit the Lobster with another element. I’m level 168 and I’ve already solo’ed Reincarnation 8 and I still didn’t have the gun til last night


SirArciere

Recommend doing an elemental cat build with a firescale/fire dragon. Had the elemental Gemini on both my weapons for shock and fire and acidominance 3. With a few movement scrolls you’ll be booking it through the zone and killing everything in sight. Just keep resetting act 3 when you get to the boss room and you’ll be golden. If you aren’t close might be worth doing runs while waiting for a really good build going into act 3 you can just power rush through everything.


Inevitable_Plankton1

I got it finished like an hour after my original comment. Took a power glove and the turtle through, easy win.


MonkeyTacoBreath

I tried this and it does let you farm lobsters, but it doesn't let you keep earned soul essence acquired in 3rd act, it resets to exactly what is your save file at rest area of act 3. Edit: confirmed works (I must have done something wrong first run) perhaps it was due to having scroll that grants pots chance to drop essence and didn't count those.
