![]() ![]() Overall, if your survivability is decent thanks to Camp Supply items or upgraded Settlement Locations, the Crypt is a great card to bring. And, if you want to hold on to your HP-buffing armor and wait until the later rounds, the sudden jump in Max HP can be absurd. This means as soon as it's placed you’ll get the HP bonus for every enemy with a soul killed up to this point. But, what most of you don’t know is that the Ancestral Crypt actually works retroactively. Since the slimes, in the beginning, are soulless, a lot of you tend to avoid placing the Crypt until after a certain amount of other spawn tiles, like Groves or Cemeteries, have been placed.

And, thematically, it makes much more sense that the Ancestral Crypt would work best for the Necromancer. You might think it would work well for the Rogue, but the Arsenal gives the Rogue a “second” HP bar, so that ends up being the end-all-be-all choice. This Gold Card was obviously intended for the Necromancer class but works decently for the Warrior as well, thanks to its large amount of Defense. Plus, it takes up a huge portion of the map!Īh, the final resting place of some ancient familial line, The Ancestral Crypt. It’s helpful for fighting bosses earlier or speedrunning the game, but doesn’t serve much purpose otherwise. That said, in terms of usefulness compared to the other Gold Cards, The Maze is third. So, it does make sense that this huge flood of memories from someone who lived in the world before the cataclysm would almost entirely fill the bar. Eventually, bosses show up in Loop Hero once you’ve “remembered” enough of the world by repeating the Loop enough times, placing down new terrain, and possibly even combining certain tiles. Remember, the world has been destroyed in Loop Hero, and it’s only by remembering things that the protagonist makes any progress, which is a crazy cool concept for a roguelike game. It’s such a horrifying yet cool concept! And, best of all, the lore translates directly into gameplay elements, as putting this maze down instantly fills up your Loop Bar by a huge amount. As you walk toward the center of this labyrinth, the spells carved into its walls will overwrite your memory, replacing them with the memories of the mage who created the maze. Essentially, in-universe, the Maze was built as a method of immortalizing its creator. In terms of the lore, this one is incredibly interesting and goes to show that Loop Hero's lore and writing can tough it out with some of the greats like Disco Elysium or other games similar to it. But, as far as we’ve played (almost 70+ hours), there’s never been a time we wish we had it instead of the Crypt, Arsenal, or even the Maze of Memories. We’re sure there are situations where Zero Milestone is beneficial to use. And three, it takes up a slot on the Loop itself! Even the Arsenal, a vastly superior Gold Card, has the decency to only take up a square adjacent to the Loop. Two, it doesn’t affect bosses, which is the main reason most of us would even use this card in the first place.

It’s an interesting idea, to be sure, but the actual execution of it in-game is lackluster. Monsters that spawn close to this Milestone will be weaker, while those spawning far away become stronger. To put it simply, wherever you place this Milestone, that’s the center of the “world”. This first, worst, and most complicated Gold Card, mechanically at least, is the Zero Milestone. ![]()
