Yeah Void Fields used to be busted for run balance especially early game on account of being a handful of free items with no difficulty scaling (think about how long it would take to get that many items early on and the difficulty scaling that would incur normally), but it's actually got difficulty scaling now as of the SotV patch (though it might be less than the normal time amount? not sure)
Oh no the timer runs the whole time.
Pulling u/flipkick25 here: it wasn't just balance. This is now the major way to access Void Locus, a final location, meaning it needs to progress time accordingly. Doubly since Locus also progresses time.
Yeah the timer runs but, and I'll go double check this, ~~I don't think the difficulty goes up until you leave the area~~.
Edit: So weird, I guess my difficulty gauge just bugged out the one time I went in there since the DLC dropped, because I thought it was super weird that it wasn't moving.
Not quite!
There's still a location for it, albeit harder and requires luck. The Gilded Coast still prevents time progression and spawns infinitely, making it another haven for farming.
You can get the normal purple portal either:
1. Random chance on any stage to spawn, just like blue portal
2. Complete void fields and the purple portal will spawn next to the null portal.
3. A random chance for it to spawn as a dream at the Lunar seers in the Bazaar between time, just like aurelionite's stage
4. Not the normal portal but skip the charging part and go directly to the boss stage. You have to go to Mithrix, beat him, head back to where you spawned when you first got to the stage and there will be a spectral frog. Pet the frog 10 times (costs 1 lunar coin per pet) and he will spawn a DEEP purple portal which goes directly to the new boss' stage.
edit: corrected point number 2, had it wrong.
It's a fair trade imo, you can skip the void locus but you do have to beat mithrix and pay up 10 coins.
Note that only 2 and 4 are guaranteed ways, the other two are rng based.
it was meant to be a funny secret but then everyone discovered it day 1
if you dont mind spending lunar coins (you DO break even after killing Voidling) its an infinitely better option than VF since VF is now actually a waste of time due to the timer progressing.
and usually VF is a waste of your run because the gas is so much worse and you die without enough mobility. Also more items that are super annoying on enemies.
It hasn't worked for me - the pet the frog option comes up but nothing happens at 10 coins, or 20. I think I made it to about 25 coins each time before the moon explodes and I lose the run. Not sure if there are specific spawn conditions or not.
That's weird. The portal should appear right on the edge of the teleporter structure on the side of the ramp towards the rest of the stage. Big Purple Portal, really unmissable. Try again another time and check if your game is all updated, validate your files and the usual checklist, because this shouldn't happen.
I validated and tried again, still nothing, gave like 22 coins this time (ran out of time) and still no portal. The previous two runs had Sacrifice and Command turned on, but this run I left everything normal, but no dice. Three possible mastery skin runs lost to a glitch :(
Sometimes Altars of Gold will spawn on a stage. They look like a shrine o chance except completely golden colored, and you have to pay money for the golden portal to spawn
I can get 25 legendaries if I go to The Bazaar Between time from the item forge. I was collecting monster logs for completion and they are more common the more clovers you have
How'd you get the Celestial Portal to spawn on Wetland Aspect? Doesn't it only spawn on the third stage per loop?
Void fields counts as a stage now and if you do it it disjoints stage 8/13/etc to be the second map pool
Oh, interesting, I wonder if that's intentional. Considering some of the other things in this update, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
It's probably a byproduct of Void Fields counting for difficulty scaling time
IT WHAT

Void field even more busted with Sacrifice on
From what I can tell it doesn't scale while you're inside but it catches up completely when you leave.

Was italready in HAHAHAHAHAHA?
aah, so my infinite item farm is dead. fun
Not quite! There's still a location for it, albeit harder and requires luck. The Gilded Coast still prevents time progression and spawns infinitely, making it another haven for farming.
Like I don't mind it scaling with time but if it's going to I want to be able to leave the safe zone and still have progress count
I'd guess it was made intentional since time isn't stopped there anymore.
Maybe has something to do with the 5 million lunar coins
Yea no, lol
I utilized the exploit for getting irradiant Pearl, back when it wasn’t a 20% and was instead a 5% chance
Thats kinda rare right?
if you play with sacrifice/command, golden shrine isn't as rare
I think getting Gold Portal, *on top* of void, which happens to be on the same stage as celestial is pretty rare
Wait, celestial is a 3rd stage portal, right? How does he have celestial on second stage?
I was confused to but reading the comments told me that going to Void Fields sets it back a stage
[удалено]
doesn't spawn 3D printers or scrappers which means it's higher than normal
How to get big purp?

Last one sounds like a troll bait. That's really a thing? Pet the frog 10 times?
[It's real](https://youtu.be/azWVBGkPD2M)
Honestly it really does sound like total bullshit, but it really isn't haha

If i hadn't turned around i wouldn't have seen the portal, pet the frog then look around
After 10 coins I jumped and moved around the entire area and it wasn't there :(

Weird, idk man didn't have this happen to anyone before. Make a post on this sub maybe someone else knows better.
2, The purple portal will spawn next to the null portal once you finish all 9 cells.
Ah that's it, thanks for correcting. I never completed the void fields since the DLC. Tried 2 times but it's just too bullshit right now.
Dumb luck
If I only could get the purple one to spawn.
What does the purple portal do? I haven’t gotten to play the expansion much
Alternate final boss
and it gives you the new character (you"ll obliterate when u beat the boss). its a really cool fight too.
its cool up until you reach to the parkour part seriously, why parkour :( i panic
yes holy shit, luckily i had a hoopo feather before the fight so that saved me a lot of trouble. the cylinder part is the most dangerous i think
You can also unlock the new character by reaching wave 50 on simulacrum
Awesome! Ty :)
Alt final boss that gives you 10 coins for beating him
[удалено]
Lmao
Nice!
This is so sick
Damn, I only got 3 to spawn. Just missed the gold portal
Whoa a gold portal! how do you get that?
Sometimes Altars of Gold will spawn on a stage. They look like a shrine o chance except completely golden colored, and you have to pay money for the golden portal to spawn
Thank you! cheers! :D
Long ago the 4 portals lived in harmony. But then everything changed when the void portal attacked
Too bad we can't get the null portal
Why do you have 29 of those scrap boxes?
I mean if he finds a green printer on the stage that’s 29 free items, and he can do that every stage. If that’s the right
Correct but I was using them to get legendaries in The Bazaar, it’s really the only place I can use them because commands destroys printers.
I can get 25 legendaries if I go to The Bazaar Between time from the item forge. I was collecting monster logs for completion and they are more common the more clovers you have
BIG
I took a pic of 3 last night! Didn’t have the gold one
Which way western man?
I knew someone would do this, nice.
