wow How to Always Get Flawless Score in Torghast (Patch 9.1)

[Stan 5,240]

Torghast comes with a new system that rewards you based on your final score, and here is a great write-up to help you earn 200+ points and get a 5-star Flawless score.

The guide comes from Reddit user DefinitelyIsNotKyle. If you want a Flawless score in Torghast, don't die. The first death is tolerated but every subsequent one will subtract 20 from your final score.

You should also avoid all traps, free all souls, complete all side quests, collect all Phantasma and destroy all Ashen Phylacteries, kill the final boss 3i6h 500+ leftover Phantasma, use a Ravenous Anima Cell on a Floor 3 broker, and pick no Epic Anima Powers, according to the player.

Avoiding duplicate Anima Powers is also recommended. Empowerments should be used to kill the Floor 5 boss in 20 seconds. You can read the entire write-up below.

 You know a system is confused when someone need to make a 20 line+ guide to explain 'how to be good at it'.

gotta love how Blizz devs think:  "Hey what's something else in the game we can change so it feels like you have to min/max it every time to get the best reward?"

not really...the guide says "Ignore trying to avoid duplicate powers", which only makes sense when there are powers that let you hit for 700k a final boss.

What do you mean, "change?" If you play Torghast the way you've been doing it since day 1, you'll still probably get the 4 stars pretty trivially and unlock the next layers. This is just for those who want to put in the extra effort to do the extra levels.

Hell, I just finished a Mort'regar run where I died twice, took an epic power, completely failed in my plan to kill elites with the empowered buff, only got a 99% on a floor, only had a few hundred phasma at the last boss...and still received a flawless score. It's not nearly as tight as all the whining would suggest.

As someone who has genuinely enjoyed doing Torghast/Twisting Corridors since release, I still cannot wrap my head around Blizzard saying, "Players have given us feedback that the 5 death limit per player was too punishing, and we hear you, so we've decided to make even 1 death make or break your score and punish you for leaving a mawrat or pot left unbroken before completing your run.
 ❤️ You're welcome!"

Btw guys, if u will just break big amounts of phylactery and kill couple of mobs,while under the empowered effect that should be enough to get 220 points...i cant see a problem at all...  😄

This is kinda disingenuous. There's no "need" to hit the timer. Just get your soul ash and go on about your day.

For the people that want to challenge themselves and beat the metric, they can do that.

its actually just not true, i have only not gotten 200 points one time and that was the 1st time i went in and had no idea what i was doing as far as points and spent 40mins in the run......i did however do all the floors and fail to kill the last boss more than once under the old system depending on what boss i got and what powers i had which really sucked for the time spent

 

[ResoWho 68]

ok, i dont get this. got 4/5

didnt die, 100% every stage, didnt took epic trait, if possible didnt stack a trait, did all escort, did all objectives, didn use phantasma, made 400 phantasma out of the broker, lost 255 phantasma at the endboss cause a  phantasma add spawned but still had 800 phantasma left at the end, couldnt kill the add cause i got too much dmg and used ice block, my cheat death didnt procced once, and timewise i needed 30 minutes which i guess was ok.

what did i wrong? am i not allowed to use my timewarp or my burst cd or what? do i need more talents in that torghast cube? (just got 2 so far).

 

edit: ok, i just wanted to do a quick torghast run with my warrior twink and got 5/5, not a single floor 100%, still did all escorts and took some souls/objectives but not all, run took me 20 minutes, didnt take epic trait (just got offered 1), took op traits for execute always useable and doing 100% more dmg and stacked several bladestorm/recklessness duration traits still didnt die, used my phantasma and had 370 left. 206 points 

probably shouldnt have read that guide and try to act like it suggested in the first place with my main.

Huh? When did I mention a timer?

Wait. You're denying that leaving pots unbroken and mobs unkilled affects your score? You realize this is written on the same article you're commenting on... right...?

How many points do you need?  Yes it lowers your score Shackelbolt......what dying does not do is "make or break your score"..... I have died and not had 100% completions plus over time on the same run and still scored over 200 points.

Nowhere does this guide say it is impossible to get 5 stars after dying. It's simply describing how dying relates to the scoring system. 

I don't know why you think people don't believe you when you say you've gotten 5/5 before in Torghast.  We are happy for you! I'm sure most of us have, too! What is being discussed is whether the new Torghast system is an improvement over the old Torghast system. I cannot stress this point enough: The entire community could be getting 5/5 stars on every Torghast run on every alt on every wing and it still wouldn't demonstrate whether the changes were "good" changes to the Torghast system. 

I'd be happy to have a discussion with you on whether being punished for leaving a pot unbroken is engaging gameplay. That's subjective! But if you're going to continue to deny that a mechanic of the scoring system is a mechanic of the scoring system, I'm not really sure what can be gained from that discussion.

Just wanted to add my experience here for others. I wanted to get the achievement "A Taste of Perfection" which is a Flawless Victory on any floor.  So I followed some of the guide's advice but also those of some of the commenters. I don't know (I don't think) how I achieved it would change at higher difficulties at all (not sure it would) but here's what I did:

• Layer 3
• I died once (fell off which was my own fault for not paying attention)
• Out of five floors I only obtained 100% completion once. The rest were 99% and 98% complete
• I took my time and backtracked when I needed to for completion, I didn't delay but I didn't rush
• I broke every urn and rescued every soul
• I did every side quest
• I obtained as many purple anima powers as I wanted, the more the better if they were appropriate. I took what I wanted so that I was OP and then some. 
• I only had 398 Phantasma at the end boss but clearly that didn't matter (didn't need to have 500)
• I never killed two elites in 90 seconds using Empowerment, I just used it when I had a bunch of mobs or when it was up at an end boss and I knew I could get it back for floor 5 final boss 
• Had empowerment the whole time for final boss

That was it and I scored a 201 which was good enough for Flawless. I feel like my score and how I got it was the bare minimum to get Flawless so...not dying and getting one or two more 100% completions would give you more than enough of a score and a pretty good one actually.
