I tried an ECLIPSE ONLY Dine Run and it was WORSE than I thought
992Dine is my least favorite map BY FAR after this run, lol.
This was easily the most difficult of the eclipse only moon runs I've done so far, and to be honest I'm not sure how much better I could get at it right now at my current skill level without getting lucky. I could maybe try and become a Dine specialist in order to perform better here, but honestly the play might just be to NOT play Dine when it's eclipsed, and pray that it's not eclipsed during your challenge runs.
I will say though that Dine has my favorite spawn chance distribution out of all the moons. It's interesting how the spawns are pretty much even across the board, and that the indoor power level is high enough to where you could potentially see every spawnable monster in there. It just becomes a problem when you're the only one exploring the moon.
I'd have a lot more fun tackling this moon with a friend or as a group, but for solo it's super hard I feel. Maybe I just got unlucky with giant spawns, but I struggled versus the more common worm spawn too. There's for sure room for otuplay but it's such a high intensity experience that actually doing it can be kinda difficult.
I DID make it back to the ship enough times to meet a few quotas though, so for that I'm grateful. Wouldn't be much of a video if I couldn't at least survive a few days. Maybe I'll try this again, but it's most likely that I won't, lol.
Anyway, only have one more moon left in this series, so I'm excited to get to that one! I'm way more comfortable on Titan than I am on Rend and Dine so it's almost like I'll be returning home for the last video. That said, Titan isn't the easiest planet while eclipsed, mostly because of the requirement to climb the staircase in order to get to the entrance, but I'm hoping I can survive enough there to put on somewhat of a show. But we'll find out when we get there.
