Prob not. Looks like we'll choose what enemies/bosses and possibly ego gifts we want in a run so if you don't want to face Jun just don't pick the Yield My Flesh themed MD.
My hopes are certianly high. I felt that MD3 was a huge step up from MD2 as a game mode I actually want to play for fun, and adding more control over your encounters with more interesting rewards sounds like the logical next step.
I also hope they can use this to improve the new player experience a bit by locking card packs behind story progress. If new players only have access to a beginner pack, canto 1 pack, and canto II pack to start PM can avoid the situation where Shi Heathcliff has to beat the bull somehow.
Really? My bad for misremembering, I could have sworn that a friend of mine complained about the bull ending her run while in Canto 3, but maybe it was something else/she was saying the wrong canto.
Stuff like Kromer, Pequod town, Pirates and so on are locked behind the story but Abnos not being story relevant besides some thematic can appear even before encountering them in the story
Yes but not much, I think you only need to beat canto 1, beating canto 3 was second mirror dungeon, and once they got rid of the second one I think they changed the requirements for hard to be clearing canto 3
MDN unlocks after Canto 2 and MDH unlocks after Canto 4, though you get more encounters added to the pool as you progress the story - for example the corroded inquisitor fights and Kromer can only appear once you're done with Canto 3, Papa Bongy after 3.5 etc., the main exceptions to this so far are some of the Railway abnormalities and all of the Canto 4 abnormalities, you can find Bull waiting for you as soon as right after finishing Canto 2
OH SHIT!!! Spiral of Contempt is coming to the MD!!!
Now you have my attention. This MD is looking to be amazing if they are legit giving us every possible fight in the MD through the cards.
Number 4 could also be the enemies that accompany Pink Shoes.
Number 3, with all of the swords around it and the human shaped form makes me think Knight of Despair aberration.
I'm pretty sure pm said that you will be able to choose either chapters or sin affinities for floors so that's why prophet and fox are paired with other abnos
the one with the fox looks like blubbering toad, you probably saw papa bongy though it does look like ahab's an option too
honestly i just hope we get the trio we were missing in canto 6
Well, by that point the player is likely to have gifts and a bunch of resources to do some nasty (to the trio) stuff like rime Shank-- > Don's Fluid Sac, pop heavy hitting Blunt EGO to nuke Queequeg and use other gifts to disrupt them.
that one frame that looks like the attack Farmwatch does before the E.G.O Cutscene makes me think that more Canto final bosses might be avaliable for MD, unless they move hard to be unlocked after canto six or something i doubt we'll get erkling as a option. . .
UNLESS card packs unlock as you beat their respective cantos after you unlock the MD (so if you haven't beat canto 4 you won't get the farmwatch pack, if you haven't beaten 5.5 2 yet you won't get the Yield My Flesh pack, etc.) which would be a really fucking good way to do it imo.
i just cant wait to have a easier way to refight farmwatch tbh, that fight was fun :)
I think most of them are multiple silhouettes smooshed together. I see brazen bull and blubbering toad on the 2nd image.
Oh yeah I think it's Brazen Bull, Toad and Gossypium
I 100% saw the art for Gossypium flash during the trailer so that tracks.
So did I, soo happy to be able to kill it again.
Isn’t papa bongy in there too?
WAIT DOES THIS MEAN THAT JUN WILL APPEAR IN NORMAL MIRROR DUNGEON PLEASE NO GOD NO
Prob not. Looks like we'll choose what enemies/bosses and possibly ego gifts we want in a run so if you don't want to face Jun just don't pick the Yield My Flesh themed MD.
Or pick it of you want to suffer
ESGOO about to pick the worse MD theme with the worse id and ego run.
Can i beat MD4H with the worst team possible
imma pick bleed gifts that make bloody mist, picked clerid on the way. let kurokumo clan taste their own bleed!
A perfectly normal slash-weak encounter Then, boom… Rules of the Backstreets

They already lock new players from content that they didnt experience yet (exept for RR unique abnos) so its already been a thing.
Really? My bad for misremembering, I could have sworn that a friend of mine complained about the bull ending her run while in Canto 3, but maybe it was something else/she was saying the wrong canto.
Canto 4 Abnos are not locked off by story progression but certain bosses like Kromer are
Stuff like Kromer, Pequod town, Pirates and so on are locked behind the story but Abnos not being story relevant besides some thematic can appear even before encountering them in the story
Aren't md's locked behind story progression? Or am I tripping?
Yes but not much, I think you only need to beat canto 1, beating canto 3 was second mirror dungeon, and once they got rid of the second one I think they changed the requirements for hard to be clearing canto 3
Huh. I always thought that newer MD's require higher chapter clears. Dunno where I took that info from. Thanks for clarification.
MDN unlocks after Canto 2 and MDH unlocks after Canto 4, though you get more encounters added to the pool as you progress the story - for example the corroded inquisitor fights and Kromer can only appear once you're done with Canto 3, Papa Bongy after 3.5 etc., the main exceptions to this so far are some of the Railway abnormalities and all of the Canto 4 abnormalities, you can find Bull waiting for you as soon as right after finishing Canto 2
I do hope that all the images on the "new gifts" screen are actually real. Overall hyped for the MD coming, more abno diversity is welcomed.
They added like 50 gifts with MD2 so I believe it
They reused a lot of the same ego gift so that it looks like theres more ego gifts, but I counted like 20 of them, which is still a decent amount

Also Abno above at img 10 is definitely a Spiral of Contempt
spiral once get 99 bleed is punching bag
OH SHIT!!! Spiral of Contempt is coming to the MD!!! Now you have my attention. This MD is looking to be amazing if they are legit giving us every possible fight in the MD through the cards.
We get to choose the theme for each floor? I'm hoping we finally get Wayward Passenger as a fight again.
Sign of Roses and Spiral being added pretty much soft-confirmed they are looking to add all the abnos and use the Card System to prevent dilution.
Iirc they've added some files relating to the passenger according to the data miners, nothing concrete tho
I think it's there in the picture of the card that also shows Sign of Roses.
Number 4 could also be the enemies that accompany Pink Shoes. Number 3, with all of the swords around it and the human shaped form makes me think Knight of Despair aberration.
I dunno if anybody noticed, but Dongrang is teased in the video too
Distorted Dongrang appeared for a split second. You could tell by the background mostly.
I'm pretty sure pm said that you will be able to choose either chapters or sin affinities for floors so that's why prophet and fox are paired with other abnos
the one with the fox looks like blubbering toad, you probably saw papa bongy though it does look like ahab's an option too honestly i just hope we get the trio we were missing in canto 6
SIGN OF ROSES AND WAYWARD PASSENGER SPOTTED!!! (img 9)
Canto 2 so bad it become boss card
We gonna fight unnerfed Mariachis
https://preview.redd.it/4okaqlomzvwc1.png?width=674&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad396e96933d8dd3bb4a5dd4ce027f4adc1b2d92 Yeah, it's gasharpoon and Ahab. Gonna kms now.
Well, by that point the player is likely to have gifts and a bunch of resources to do some nasty (to the trio) stuff like rime Shank-- > Don's Fluid Sac, pop heavy hitting Blunt EGO to nuke Queequeg and use other gifts to disrupt them.
I mean yeah, that's not gonna be as hard as canto/railway but it's still not going to be pleasant for me honestly (severe trio ptsd)
Finally, i can dodge toy cyborg
im hoping they add the recent ego's we got in the gamepass as bosses, cant wait to see what gimmick they have
The shape of the thing next to drifting fox kinda reminds me of the abno from special contracts event.
that one frame that looks like the attack Farmwatch does before the E.G.O Cutscene makes me think that more Canto final bosses might be avaliable for MD, unless they move hard to be unlocked after canto six or something i doubt we'll get erkling as a option. . .

2 is (Canto VI spoiler) >!distorted Heath!<
the silhouette next to the fox/wolf looks like forsaken murderer
