Hello All,

I'm wondering how the infinite archive changes based on the following.

Solo Player
Player with Companion NPC
Player with Player

Do enemies change?
Does the archive change?

Thank you for the help.

    the difficulty in the archive is more based on the arc

    the enemy groups that appear are pretty much random from the selection of groups that can spawn in there

    enemies and bosses dont really change as all of their scaling modifiers are based on arc #

    in general the archive is more scaled to a 2 person group

    difficulty wise, arc 1 is approx equal to a normal group dungeon, arc 4 is approx equal to vet dungeon, beyond arc 4 things just keep scaling up (the furthest ive been is arc 10, and by that point trash mobs have about 3 million hp, and bosses around there have about as much hp as a normal trial boss, but hit like a vet trial boss lol)

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    If I'm not mistaken the only thing that changes is that with a companion or second player you get an extra set of some mechanics in Thoat's fight (the Atro spawns another pair of tentacles from the ground and so on).

    Some of the visions and verses change a bit if you're alone vs in a pair (the pair can be either another player or a companion). Like the 'my floor is lava' will spawn on your companion as well as you, fire orb will spawn twice, but you can only use one of them, etc.

    But the mobs and the bosses stay the same.

    it was intended that the companions would get a copy of all of your visions

    companions do not get a copy of your verses however
