There's no way Archaeology is currently working as intended

Sorry, I should have used more emphasis in the original post - this only works on weapons. jhffmn is also correct in that patience is the biggest factor, but the number or Krongs used and the base stats on a weapon seem to make a big difference on how quickly you gain damage.

Glad to see I'm not just personally bugged out or something.

 

How about re rolling until you get magic power? One hitting with 550 damage? Try that with ranged aoe .

 

I have experienced this bug as well.

It is kind of fun at first but it is so overpowered it kinda ruins the game pretty fast.

 

Does this work on Shields? seems like it would be extra nutty on the unarmed+dual wield counter builds.... Counter attacks that obliterate your enemys in a single blow.

 

@gandalfrockman No, it doesn't work on anything but weapons. I tried it with shields personally.

 

it does work with bows
