It seems the recently added option to make platforms only passable from below automatically applied to every platform in this level. It's cool in some cases because it means I can't fall to my death when trying to use a down attack but it's a problem in other cases because I can't drop through when I want to & the AI keep getting stuck because they still try to drop through.

I did notice a bug where the artifact no longer hurts you / kills you if you don't hit it up the stage, so I might take a look at fixing that at some point.

I was just able to test this and play a few rounds with Orcane and Shovel Knight, and I've also seen youtube vids with various custom characters recently without issues. Were you using a specific custom character or buddy?

If anyone else has issues, let me me know which characters/buddies you used, and if you also tried it with default characters / CPUs, just in case.

k that is awesome

Sorry everyone for how long this has been broken, it's updated and fixed now!

I've been busy but finally circled back to look into this again, apparently there was a game update that caused my CPU detection code to think players were CPUs and messed everything up. It's resolved now, just did a quick playthrough and it all works!

Stage is broken sadly
verslycken.thomas89 2 Sep, 2022 @ 8:47am 
ooohhh, now that i look back at it i think get it there as an attempt to fix the stage but apparently it didn't fix it, that's very unfortunate because before the update that roke it this stage used to be really good but ever since the update was made the whole stage became of it being uplayable, i'm sorry but in it's current state i'm gonna unsub on this stage / delete this stage from my copy of the game, i'm sorry you'll probably understand,i will deffinetly still check this page out regularly & when there is said it is fixed, i resub / redownload this though
verslycken.thomas89 30 Aug, 2022 @ 8:07am 
oh ok, apparently you know this already & i'm only asking this once because i don't wanna annoy with it or anything but you are still working on the fix right?
verslycken.thomas89 30 Aug, 2022 @ 8:05am 
@eTea.Xanthus this stage used to work but is now broken to the point where you can't play at all because for some reason instead of you being in red team & the others in bleu team everyone is now in bleu team which breaks the stage so badly you can't play it at all, this deffinetly needs a fix or because this bug alone makes the stage unplayable in a completely litheral way (just anna let ya know so you can fix it)
L7vanmatre 17 Jul, 2022 @ 11:39am 
Yeah, still doesn't work unfortunately. :( Even with both CPUs being Maypul, no DLC skins or anything.
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 18 Feb, 2022 @ 5:01pm 
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah I can take a look at it at some point over the next week and try to get this working again, and take another look at those side platforms.
D YellowMadness 16 Feb, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
Would it be possible for you to make the platforms that spawn at the sides of the arena during challenger encounters not be drop-through platforms? I've lost so many runs because I was standing on one of those & Dan was like "Yeah, he probably wants to die now for no particular reason."
D YellowMadness 3 Feb, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
The new patch to the game broke this. I don't spawn in & nothing happens.
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 30 May, 2021 @ 5:07pm 
I've re-uploaded it in case the version on Workshop version was out of date, and downloaded it from the workshop to test it and make sure it's working- I was able to run through it without issues.

I tested with some random workshop characters and buddies, but if anyone is still having any crashing issues, let me know what characters you're using (on human and CPU), and whether you can get it work with vanilla characters.
HooHah 18 May, 2021 @ 8:31pm 
Instant death on this stage, cant seem to get it to work
Ren O.R. 16 Dec, 2020 @ 4:32pm 
Apparently it also makes some pretty weird things, like, i seriously think that thanks to this stage I'm the first person to win a battle in a team of four characters. Not even joking
Ren O.R. 16 Dec, 2020 @ 4:18pm 
every time i want to play on this map my character instantly dies losing all stocks, please fix
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 16 Oct, 2020 @ 9:44am 
2.1 Update! Fixed crashing on Definitive edition, everything seems to work okay now, let me know if you run into any more issues!
xyna 7 Oct, 2020 @ 1:06pm 
speaking of defintive, you now immediately crash when using workshop on match launch so now its just "haha funny vanilla lock go brr"
thanks for the help in advance
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 6 Oct, 2020 @ 5:40am 
Thanks for finding this, looks like an issue after the Definitive edition update. I'll look into it for a fix and update soon!
xyna 4 Oct, 2020 @ 8:56am 
i tried to use plain shovel knight with no buddies and a cpu player before bringing my friend into it
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 1 Oct, 2020 @ 5:42pm 
What character / buddy are you using? I just tested it and it let me play solo, however, you'll need at least one CPU player for some of the waves, otherwise they won't work.
xyna 30 Sep, 2020 @ 9:03am 
For some reason, whenever I delve into this stage, I immediately die with no chance to do anything.
For some reason it's fixed when I bring a second player into this, but it won't let me play solo.
Help please?

Otherwise, this is exceptional!

Complaint: Upon beating the Bomb keep away mission, the bombs don't despawn. I get why, but some characters can get utterly screwed from it.
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 3 Aug, 2020 @ 3:34pm 
2.0 Major update! More phase types, additional enemy, buddies now work (like Abyss Rune buddy), and it's now endless with increasing in difficulty the further you get. Let me know what you think and how far you can get!
Salamender 14 Jul, 2020 @ 2:00pm 
Good to hear, wish you the best of luck!
eTea.Xanthus  [author] 14 Jul, 2020 @ 1:09pm 
Salamender, good find! I did some testing and this is the case with all buddies due to the stage lacking a normal solid floor (like the one you create in stage builder) that they need to exist. Trying to find a way around it because I want the floor to be removable, think I've found a solution and will update soon. I'll have to try this stage with some Abyss rune characters once I do!
Salamender 13 Jul, 2020 @ 1:35pm 
Hey so I figured out if you use the abyss rune buddy with this stage A. you can't move and B. you can't die which basically means your softlocked (When I say you can't move for some reason that includes using the menu)
Jsaur 10 Jul, 2020 @ 3:51pm 
Oh, and another suggestion: I think the 5...4...3...2...1 countdown is a little unnecessary, since Abyss just delves you into the next one. But I really like this workshop item!:lunar2019grinningpig:
Jsaur 10 Jul, 2020 @ 3:49pm 
This is really cool! I really like the sky fight, it's very creative.

Here's a suggestion: I know it's difficult to do this kind of thing in workshop, but having the same challenger each time gets a little repetitive. I wonder if it would be possible to make a workshop character companion mod that can randomly be any of the 14 characters? 🤔
randomq32 8 Jul, 2020 @ 1:56pm 
thanks, i will ONLY play the workshop build of rivals and abyss mode isnt available, but this is a great alternative. 8/10 :steamsunny:

epic
Eggmar72 6 Jul, 2020 @ 10:03pm 
You should do stuff like in the radiance fight in hollow knight
dragonpunch 22 Jun, 2020 @ 4:31am 
Ye, Thats all I have to say....
dragonpunch 22 Jun, 2020 @ 4:31am
