(None, might change later)

(None)


Removed 'Restrictions' on Characters, now all characters can be played for a spot in Augean as well as their respected hidden achievements to be unlocked!

*NEW* Loader has been added
*NEW* Huntress has been added
*NEW* Bandit has been added

Expect an easier way to distinguish item builds in the near future!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boar Beach wasn't supposed to be here


Boar Beach cannot be accessed due to the player able to exploit boss drops there, gain maximum health through a bug and obtain the White Under Shirt (M).

(None)


Rapid Mitosis has been removed and replaced with Alien Head in the recipe list
*NEW* Alien Head
Decreases your skill cooldowns by 25% (Stacks 3 times)

Requires:
• 1x Guardian's Heart
• 2x Monster Teeth
• Limited to Acrid

This was due to a mistake on my part with having the player not being able to acquire items where Rapid Mitosis has a 25% cooldown reduction to said items.



Q1: Did you ever beat Augean yourself?

A1: Although many people may believe that I beat the difficulty and tried it before making this guide, this is wrong. I never ever beat the Beta version or the current version of Augean. I believe that the hardest difficulties can't even be beated by the people that made it.

I will be leaving all changes here until I hit the v1.1, v1.2, v1.3 and so on, where I will be clearing up the patch note board

Welcome! I'm so glad you stumbled on this post, because now you're obligated to do this difficulty!

Whahaha!

But in all seriousness, this will be hard and not for the faint of heart. This is not a mod (since I cannot mod) but a reference for you when you will be setting up and playing. This will take many tries and you will not finish on your first run, it will take practice. Think of it as you are just starting the game again. As a reward for your work in completing Augean, send me the screen shot by adding me as a friend and sending me the image via imgur or simply writing me a comment on here or on my profile!

You will be deemed a Hero of the difficulty and the family welcomes you!








• This must be individually beaten, no friends!
• Monsoon difficulty must be active
• Artifact Restrictions (See Below)
• Character Restrictions (See Below)
• Not all items can be obtained, and some particular items require a recipe to obtain (See Below)
• Boar Beach cannot be accessed for bug related and item exploits

Down below are the artifacts that must be enabled, no more, no less!


• Enemies always spawn as elites


• Lock a random skill every minute


• Enemies explode on death


• Deal 500% damage, but have 10% health


• Chests no longer spawn; monsters now drop items on death


• Items are no longer random


• Characters run faster at lower health


• Imps invade the map every 10 minutes

If you manage to beat Augean on characters that are a lot harder than other characters (Enforcer a lot harder then Acrid) you will earn a greater reward that will not only gain you a spot on the Heroes Hall of Augean (Located at the bottom of this guide) but also a higher spot in the Augean steam group to display that you are a true champion of Augean!

Legend

★ = Easy
★★ = Medium
★★★ = Hero
★★★★ = Champion

Enforcer - ★★★★
With the artifacts that are enabled, this tanky, slow, strong monster goes to an immobile, squishy and weak character in a pinch of the finger. Defeating Augean with Enforcer not only will earn you the steam group, but will earn you the title of the champion of the difficulty!

Chef - ★
This difficulty shouldn't be that hard for you when playing chef. Right.....?
You'll earn the steam group....and a meatlover sandwich from Chef himself!

Mercenary - ★★
He's melee, he's squishy, but he sure loves to move around while being invincible doing damage. Those pesky bombs from Spite should have you dealing with them no problem. You'll get the steam group, possibly a virtual hug from me.
Death is like the wind; always by my side. - Yasuo

HAN-D - ★★★
Same as the Enforcer, but just a little more mobile, some stun locks, steam group too, but...
TONS OF DAMAGE - Phreak
You'll also get a quote ;-)

Engineer - ★
I was debating putting this guy in here, I mean he's pretty overpowered. But, I can just see the future of people being frustrated so I'll just throw this in. You'll get the steam group still!

Acrid - ★★★
Something from Alien that has poison to it's attack. This guy here is great for late game and will provide a challenge for all players a like. Play this for not-so-hard, not-so-easy playthrough, and winning will get you into the group and a quote as an additional prize!

Miner - ★★
This guy is mobile, the fastest in the game! With his gap closures and invulnerability spam, the game will be a lot easier then playing other characters like HAN-D. You'll earn your spot into the Heroes of Augean!

Sniper - ★★★★
Think you have what it takes to beat the game with a support character? Show me....
If champion is what you seek, you will have to earn it.
Welcome to the real Augean

Loader- ★★
Similar to the Miner, the Loader has great mobility and sustain to be able to completely dodge damage. Ontop of all that, he has the ability to completely wipe areas with his M440 Conduit

Huntress - ★
The ability to strafe and shoot is a huge advantage in comparsion with other characters. You'll still have a tough time beating Augean with the Huntress, but it will be a lot easier...just don't blink into the wrong situation!

Bandit - ★★
Extremely powerful Damage-per-second. If the Bandit is able to get a hold of some attack speed and damage, You'll be clearing maps like no other.

You will have to acquire certain items before you can gain greater, more powerful and ideal items throughout your playthrough. Note that not all items are included in this tree, and can simply be picked up without any issues. Except Red items!

Each lesser item will have to be picked up again if you're wanting stacks of the greater item or another. Think of it as the lesser items are consumed and upgraded to the greater item, but you still have the lesser effects.

This is where the Champions and Heroes Hall is. Think you have what it takes to beat Augean. Send me a screenshot of the game through a comment on steam, on this guide or by adding me and sending me a private messege. The screenshot must be at the end of them with providence defeated as well as items, character and artifacts are visable.

To be able to be invited to the group you must complete Augean difficutly on a hidden time limit which only I know. Each character has a different time to complete their game to be eligible to join the steam group! There also some spots for the champions, which to achieve this requires a lot of steps to complete and is as well, hidden.

So,
• Artifacts must be visible at the end (There is a wall that shows the artifacts that are enabled that run)
• Make sure items, time and character are visible
[Optional] (due to when pausing the game, the game continues in hosted games and not stopping the game. I know this is a current issue since you have to look at the recipe list)
• For proof that it was you that beat it and to make your screenshot unique (so no one can copy it) Play Augean in a hosted solo game and type in-game something that is related to your steam account (Steam ID for instance) Found Here![steamidfinder.com]
