Eh, people will work around it anyway. I'm doing the same thing myself already. It sucks, but it's worth it for the best in slot equips regardless.

Clear 1 = Easy mode
Clear 2 = Normal mode
Clear 3 = Hard mode
Clear 4 = Hell mode when you leave the map even once
Clear 5 = Hell mode when you stay in the boss map for the duration of the fight
Ah, that makes sense, I think.
And how many Gollux coins does Hard mode give? Normal seems to give three at a rather stable rate.

Because the stack is only given to the person who picks it up. You picked up the stack so you got 19/20, you didn't pick up the stack so you got 9/10.

Fun fact: Shoulders and Abdomen now have a chance at dropping Gollux coins again after the RED patch. They also now drop cube fragments for crafting cubes.

It didn't take a charm from me when I died (twice) on Hell Gollux's head
I think they removed exp loss?
You can also save Gollux's entrance map to a Hyper Tele rock now!

Since whenever they stopped the coins dropping from every body part, but that restriction wasn't removed when they readded coins to the drop table apparently.
Has anyone found a Fallen Heart Tree Key since the RED patch? I've done 2 runs (killing everything except the head) on 4x drop and didn't find a single one.. gonna limit runs to 3/day eventually if there is no longer a method of obtaining more.

I have found that Gollux is actually "fixed" now. Fixed in the sense that he now attacks more frequently and more fluidly. Examples I can come up with (that all lead to harder than expected runs) in Hard Mode include:
- Disabling one Shoulder no longer disables both Hands from attacking at the Head; though it will still disable one side, which makes more sense
- When fighting the Eyes, Hands will reach up to grab at that middle-tiered platform significantly more frequently, where in the past I could stay without moving for days
- Hands in general will attack more frequently
- Those countdown-inducing monsters now spawn more frequently
- Not actually the boss, but the falling rocks inside the body are animated better, fall more frequently and actually hit when they are supposed to

Drop rate on every boss seems higher.

I didn't either. I wouldn't mind so much if the keys in the shop weren't limited.

I got a key as an end reward from him the other day, but I think that's the only way to get them. In the 20 or so runthroughs I've done of his trash since the patch, nothing has dropped a key except Gollux's heart.

Has anyone noticed the third phase of Hell Gollux being a lot easier to kill?
Before the patch I would go with a party of four people hitting 10-20m lines and barely make it, but since the patch I've gone with smaller, weaker parties and managed to finish with a good 40 seconds to spare...
Disregard
Discovered the reason: Phantoms are OP as pineapple.

It still takes me more than 2/3 of the timer to kill.
