Zone/Time Wall Location Guide
Zone/Time Wall Location Guide[edit | edit source]
(WIP Guide)
My Guide on what locations in-game act as walls
'Walls' are locations where you realistically cannot progress any further in your current Black Hole/Supernova due to the lack of stats/upgrades needed to defeat enemies/a boss fast enough.
I'll try and post locations that I feel like are Walls here, so you can plan your playtime around them. And also when to start spending your mech tokens so you don't 'waste' any.
(Though since I started making this guide when I was at the end of SN #4, I don't remember the early ones very well. So if any other players want to add in their thoughts on where a Wall was, go ahead!

| For me, 4-3-1-1-9 was the final Wall I ran into, as the 45% Cosmic Dust damage kept killing me an the boss before I could get its shields down to start healing from my Lifewell Shots. So consider this the final Mech part you can obtain in SN #4 and spend your Mech tokens accordingly. |
| 4-4-1-1-1 was the first wall I ran into this SN at BH #23, as the enemy health jumped from 1.2e104 in 4-3-4-6-8 to 1.7e110 in 4-4-1-1-1, so that along with the 15% increase in corrosive cosmic dust damage required me to wait till around the middle of BH #25 before I was able to make any progress in it. After that however, I used my mech tokens to get the last upgrade, then farmed till I reached BH #26. From there, I switched back to the 3x Dust SN Perk and spent BH #26 just farming dust until BH #27.
And finally, in BH #27 was the final (tiny) wall I faced. Galaxy 4, Star system 4. I wasn't quite able to fight my way through it at the start of the blackhole, and had to wait for one more LY travel before I could clear it. And after that, Supernova 5 was cleared. |
| It was generally smooth sailing till I reached BH 27 again. The jump in enemy stats from Nightmare from Hell is still pretty steep, so I jumped in, got some kills, then bought the first mech #6 part with a token, then went back to farming the last zone in Hell until I finished farming all the Mech 1-4 parts. After that, it was a slow but constant cycle of pushing farther in Nightmare, idling to farm Kills for LY points to go up Black Hole levels, upping my minigame scores to get more points to buy upgrades, buying more Cosmic Dust upgrades, chugging every potion type then dropping all my free time warps before BH traveling to get more population and scrap to buy more of those upgrades, and buying a new Mech #6 part with a token whenever I managed to reach a new part location and make the single required kill. Eventually, I managed to clear Nightmare around Black Hole #47. Now to wait till the Big Bang Prestige/NG+ comes out. |
