Castle Greyrot, a new rogue-lite RPG on the horizon! Featuring Duran!



Hello, Time Travelers!
I've been absent for the past year, working on a new project called Castle Greyrot. Imagine Shattered Hourglass bosses, dialogues, decision-making, and job system but it's set in dark medieval times.

The story is Castle Greyrot is a living being that changes its location every 10 years and corrupts its surroundings wherever it goes. As an experienced Commander, you are summoned to engage in a raid on Castle Greyrot.
With mercenaries on your side, you're about to venture to the Castle and destroy the unknown evil force within. It's that simple.

You can check out Castle Greyrot's page right away!

I think the current cap is perfect. Raising the cap brings a lot of problems in balancing, also that makes so much easier to beat my previous bosses with a new cap and I don't want that :~D But they will be fair and have a lot of surprises.
fair...
(remembers Mydha and Leviathan)
...Jesus Christ this is an annihilation rather than fight...


I... I enjoyed making them... heh... heh...

Which one is Mydha? As far as I remember, the hardest fights are Leviathan and Lv. 9 Arena. Can you give me a screenshot?

Oh yeah, @sawworm, are there any good armors in the game? I want a good armor for my Grey Knight. The armors I have outclassed every armors I have in various aspects.


Mydha is the real Volcano boss, you get the Volcano with Dynamite key item.

Ugh... Besides Deep Stone Armour... I'd say not at the moment. The upcoming update will have some new HVY armours though.

Eh? I didn't find Mydha that difficult, did I just got lucky (?)

Lv. 9 arena can kill 4 of your party member in a turn with instant death attack, HE IS tougher than Mydha.

Or was I wrong?

Looking forward for those HVY armor >.<

I mean by looking at your GODLY Zulwhern... It's easy to assume that you had no difficulty beating that boss :~D

Oh yeah, that cheap INSTAKILL skills are crazy annoying. But I also got some good news. There will be a fish item that AOE revives all allies ;) (That also opens a deadly scenario for me)

Also, Soon ;)

Will there be a special reward for collecting them all?
Or now we will need 5 time pieces to get the timeless armour?
Or each fish will give you something like a weak buff?

Yes, collecting all fishes will get you a reward like Timeless armour.
There will be a new underground palace in Seaport Town which you can exchange your fishes to get rewards for them. :~D
Some fishes have weakness buffs, some have aoe buffs, some can deal fixed damage to an enemy.

"some can deal damage to the enemy" so they will be like potions or...?

Yes, mostly consumable items.
Remember that Icy Fox isn't animated? I think its drop rate is busted too. I was trying to compile a full item guide (lost my old one) and uh... even after 500 kills on Loot Hunt, I can't get Frost Berries to drop.

I suppose you had Loot Hunt and double drop rate item? If so I'll check the issue.

Not the double drop rate item, but it would drop just fine each fifty or so kills on hardcore before this update.
This update, however, it wouldn't drop for hundreds of kills... I switched up to Loot Hunt, and it still wouldn't drop for hundreds more. Did you make it rarer?

Oh... No wonder why you are having trouble getting that item. It's 1 in 500, I never change monster drop rates. You can get a Frost Berries item in a chest in Wolf's Den, but that's only accessible when saving Ester (frozen woman). Otherwise grinding with Double Drop Rate item and Loot Hunt is the only choice.

Weird, I had a good drop rate with it even on Hardcore before. I'll give it another go, I just thought it might be a bug too since it only stopped dropping for me after the update. (Got Yellow Drop and Flaming Berries just fine though)
Is there a real use for the snail shells from the "Gapchan box" or it's like the other junks in it?

RNG gives and takes, I had some very lucky runs as well as very unlucky ones as well :(

They are junks and they can be farmed from the monsters near to "Danger Oni!" sign. (forest tile on the north)

2. Initiate battle and Duran casts Renew, Treephop anapanasati, Zhulwern Dark Signet II on Treephop, Suan Life Fire+, Juliet HP Regen X.

3. Duran Perfect Flashback or Convert HP++++, Treephop Regen Skill (forgot the name), Zhulwern Dark Signet II on Duran, Suan Encourage on Duran, Juliet Recovery Mastery

4. Duran Time Stop, Treephop Attack, Zhulwern Dark Signet on self, Suan buff Duran's magic attack, Juliet use Party boost (forgot the skill name)

5. Duran Poison cut 4 x3, Treephop Fatal Stance, Zhulwern attack, Suan Encourage on Zhulwern, Juliet use party boost

It works on Mydha & Fujin but, not Leviathan because one of the above skills will mess up your entire party. This pattern is also ineffective vs. bosses that has instant kill abilities like Lv. 9 Arena. If you are fighting bosses that can instant kill your allies, just turn Treephop and Suan into a good potion user to play safe.
I took the liberty of making a guide for silver token locations.
If you want, you can add it to the game file in next version or in a separate download in this page (or both).

The file is a 8 MB .PDF

You are amazing, Clangeddin! Thank you so much for making a guide for it!
That was the most asked question :D
I'm going to make a new main page for it ^.^

Here's the link for it:
